Movie Ginny was bland, but it's not like book Ginny was a very nuanced character with layers.

Rowling is adept at writing memorable side characters- The Twins, Luna, Neville etc and showcasing their talents or journey beautifully. She even gives Neville an arc of his own.

She failed to do that with Ginny in my opinion.

Don't you guys think its weird that everyone marries who they met in high school in the wizarding world? Hermione marries Ron, and Harry marries Ginny. Do their lives just end after Hogwarts? We haven't seen anyone who has met anyone else at their jobs or just out on the street? They all fall in love in high school and stay "betrothed." Isn't it weird?

Am I the only one who is super sad that they changed pottermore from this whimsical website to this ugly thing?

Also does anyone know of another website that kept the old design?

"It is Uranus, my dear,” said Professor Trelawney, peering down at the chart.

“Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?” said Ron.

Is there any information on where Harry lived right after the seventh book? I don’t mean 19 years later, I am wondering what he did like the next day, and for the next few years before he married Ginny. I have just assumed he went to live with the Weasleys but I wasn’t sure if there was any confirmed lore anywhere.

mine is when harry and ron get given the potion books in HPB.

in the films they fight for the better one and it just shows so much of their friendship and reinforces that they're still kids. it's probably my favourite scene in the whole series.

For me:

• Fred & George adventures would make good B Plots.
• B Plots from teachers points of view would be interesting.
• Hagrid won the dragon egg gambling at the Hogs Head - is Hagrid a regular gambler? A big winner or loser usually?

What would you want to see explored?

I just don’t understand why Dumbledore would keep what he knew about Voldemort’s horcruxes a secret from everyone except the limited info he gave to Harry. Why not tell members of the Order? Why not leave Harry in the best position possible by having some of the most skilled and deeply trusted wizards on the hunt for horcruxes with the trio?

Hey Harry Potter fans,

Question for you Harry Potter experts. First off, I haven't read all the books yet, I'm working my way through them, but have watched the movies a lot and love the series. If this is explained in the books, I'll be happy to go read up on them.

But in the Tri Wizard Tournament, I believe, you can just skip the first two challenges and you'll be good to still compete in the final one if you want.

If you don't compete in the first one, you don't get the clue for the second one. But you can still compete in the second one. And we saw that in the second challenge, that one of the contestants didn't complete the task but was able to go into the final challenge, just in last place. But considering all the contestants bumped into each other in the maze, it ultimately didn't matter at what time they entered the maze.

Therefore you didn't need to compete in the first two challenges in the tri wizard tournament.

Was a bit vague with all the stuff there because I didn't want to spoil it for someone who for whatever reason loves Harry Potter enough to go to the subreddit, but not enough to watch the movies or read the books.

Just curious if to hear your thoughts on this.

In my opinion, because of the way Snape treats Harry, it seems like he hated James more than he loved Lily. Harry is pretty much Snape’s last reminder of the woman he loved available to him. You think that would have a positive influence on the way Snape treated Harry. Yet his hatred of James overshadowed that fact.

Edit: To answer my question I think you can ask yourself: which did Harry feel more, Snape’s hate for James or his love for Lily? Harry represents the last of both James and Lily on this earth, the two people for whom Snape felt the most strongly. But Harry didn’t get the “I loved your mother so I’m going to love you” treatment. He got the “sins of the father are the sins of the son” treatment with every interaction he had with Snape. If Snape’s love and hatred were equal, I think it would have translated into Snape simply ignoring Harry’s existence. But that’s not what happened; he chose to taunt Harry about James at every opportunity.

"Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It is distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them."

for me, it could smell like:

• freshly-mowed grass (football/soccer)
• wood polish (piano)
• new parchment (books)
• art supplies: paint, marker, etc. (art)
• strawberries

what would Amortentia smell like to you? :)

The death of Snape has always seemed hugely brutal. But I don’t quite get why Voldemort used Nagini.

Voldemort kills Snape to make sure he has control of the wand (obviously he’s wrong, but that’s the purpose). Why would he risk using Nagini, potentially not personally defeating Snape, and not gaining the Elder Wand’s power?

I also feel like Voldemort values Snape enough to not give him a horrific death. But, that’s more a personal opinion than anything.

(I’m just rewatching DH2 now, currently only annual re-read but haven’t got to DH yet, so sorry if I’m misremembering the books.)

Just a random, weird thought I had.

Here's what I thought, but if you had to summarize it in your own words, how would you describe it?

1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Boy Wizard Defeats Dark Forces, Prevents Theft of Ancient Sorcery.

2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Mysterious Creature Unleashed in Hogwarts, Student Saved by Heroic Boy.

3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Fugitive Revealed as Innocent, Dark Past of Azkaban Escapee Exposed.

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
   Triwizard Tournament Turns Deadly: Dark Lord Returns in Graveyard Duel.

5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Ministry Denies Dark Lord’s Return; Secret Battle Erupts at Department of Mysteries.

6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
   Beloved Headmaster Killed in Shocking Betrayal, Dark Forces Strengthen.

7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
   Final Battle at Hogwarts: Boy Who Lived Defeats Dark Lord, Wizarding World Reborn.

When Harry casts the Cruciatus Curse on Bellatrix, she tells him he has to mean it—that he must truly want to cause pain. But didn’t Harry want to hurt her? After all, she had just killed Sirius, and he was clearly furious with her.

When hagrid found Harry, he was saying how Voldemort killed a bunch of powerful wizarding families but Harry survived even though he was a baby, but the bones were killed too? I thought Susan bones was in the sorting and got put in huffflepuff? Please help me

So at this weekend is the media preview for Epic Universe, the newest theme park at Universal Orlando Resort. For those of you that may or may not know one of the areas is a new Wizarding World that takes place in Place Cachée form Crimes of Grindelwald. The main attraction taking place at the British Ministry of Magic who story happens after the events of Deathy Hallows with the trial of Umbridge. Anyway footage it out there and they have students/actors interacting with guests. There a Beauxbatons girl, a Hufflepuff male, and surprisingly an Illvermorny student. I could be wrong but I think this might be our first official look at an Illvermorny student/robes. I’d post the photo but it won’t allow me

(English is my 3rd language so sorry if this is worded weirdly😅)

Pretend you are in a fight against someone, but you don't want to kill them, cause huge injuries, or torture them, but you still want to cause them a good amount of pain that they can quickly recover from.

What spells can you use?

Ideally, there won't be internal injuries, and external injuries should be kept to a minimum.

(If you have any questions, please ask. I don't know how to explain this correctly.)

Can someone explain to me why a witch and a SAHM couldn’t whip up a decent pair of dress robes for Ron? I know she made that ugly dress poor Jenny had to wear, but at the very least she could have taken off that tatty lace and taken away the “Aunt Tessy” smell from Ron’s robes. Or resize Mr. Weasley’s dress robes to fit Ron for the Yule ball. For that matter, couldn’t she have done a spell to smarten up all the used robes her kids had to wear?

Since the wizarding world is essentially embedded into the muggle one, wouldn't a wizard pass by muggle shops some days and be like "hmmm... Looks cool!"

The muggle gadgets like headphones and watches might get a little wonky, but other things like candy, soda, chips, shampoo, lotion, clothes, shoes, etc would be ok.

I think that purebloods might be averse to it, but probably not half-bloods.

I think if I were a wizard, I'd go for the Diet Coke first!

This is so stupid hahaha, but thoughts?

So, I been rewashing the Harry Potter movies on peacock and peacock edits in almost all the deleted scenes into them and is as far as I know the only way to watch all eight exentended Harry Potter movies.

It is definitely a bit taboo especially with how the edited the 7th movies opening but I want it to my definitive way to watch the movies. Is there any blue ray collection that has the movies as peacock has them?

The official reason for his recruiment is that Mundungus can work with the criminal world. However, it seems that Mundungus is always causing troubles. Did Dumbledore have some secret plan for Mundungus?

Do Canadians go to Ilvermorny? (The American wizarding school) or would Canadas crown affiliation mean they go to Hogwarts? Or is there a wizarding school in the TDSB? And did Doug Ford defund it?

Only asking cause I’m writing some ideas for a story about the American wizarding world.

Anyone who has ideas for an American wizarding world feel free to pitch.
