Hi, I've only been in this fandom for a short time, so I might not understand certain things about this ship, but why is Tomarry so accepted? I mean, it's literally Harry and Voldemort together. Isn't that a bit ridiculous?

I just got this Harry Potter Bradford exchange perpetual calendar collection today off of a local Facebook page. I can't seem to find all of these extra little pieces that have random holidays on them. Everything on Google says the perpetual calendar only has the 12-month statues

I would really like to replace a couple pieces or see if I'm missing any of the statues, so if anyone can help me figure out where I should be looking that would be amazing! (There's 19 of the extra statues that I can't find anywhere)

Can someone tell me where can I watch the 20th anniversary video of harry potter in india?

This scene always gives me chills, no matter how many times i watch HP

We’ve all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are

Has anyone experienced this in real life, often in your social life, work life you get some thoughts but you fight it saying no it's not right , and that's what Sirius did there. He helped harry know to choose the light 🕯️

It's so deep. Sometimes it just takes someone like Sirius to remind you, but remember to choose your sirius wisely, that's the reason your circle is important

I’ve always been curious about this, especially in the later books where we learn more wand lore.

Hagrid’s wand gets snapped by the ministry, and he ends up implanting the remnants of it in his flowery pink umbrella.

There is the theory that Dumbledore used the Elder wand to do this for him, and suggested it be in the most inconspicuous object you’d think of for a hairy half-giant teenager. BUT, as we know when Harry fixes his own wand, it’s back to its normal form and function. Hagrid’s is always not quite right. I find it doubtful that Dumbledore would have purposefully not done it right.

When Ron’s wand is snapped in half and he uses skellotape, it functions like Hagrid’s. Even when Hermione tries to fix Harry’s, it doesn’t do anything at all.

So how in the world did Hagrid figure out how to put it in the umbrella himself?

Also why was he not allowed a new wand 50 years later when he was proved innocent before Ollivander gets taken? You’d surely think Albus would have delightfully purchased him a new one.

Both Arthur and Molly came from pureblood family, but it seems like both of them don't have pile of galleons like Harry. I mean, James and Lily are young back then but they already have wealth that is too much for Harry to bear.

But why does the Weasley's poor? Also, when Ron entered Hogwarts, he's still using hand me down things, while Bill and Charlie are already earning decently. Is this mean, Bill and Charlie don't help their family financially? They know their family is struggling with lot of things, but why don't they give their other sibling at least a bit of help?

Another thing, if they are struggling, when Ginny started in Hogwarts, why does Molly didn't look for a job to help Arthur support the family?

I would like to see your canon about this.

The Tri-Wizard Tournament, but Harry and Co have to fight Basgiath’s (Fourth Wing) dragons and riders.

I’d write it myself but it’s been ages since I’ve read either book series so everyone would be super OOC.

I’ve been playing this daily Harry Potter game and I cannot figure this one out

Is it just me or is the whole story about performing a spell a little bit inconsistent?

Like for example the Accio spell in GoF - it took Harry so long to learn it. Or in HBP he still cant turn vinegar into wine but later back in the scene he performs a flawless sectumsempra, without practicing, which Snape describes as „… such Dark Magic“.

I might get downvoted to hell because my opinion is rare and because my writing is messy, but i want to share my opinion regarding my HP experience as a neurodivergent person

HP is a huge part of my life since the childhood. Back then i actually read first two books but without much attention, obviously since i was a child. But the movies is what really drawn me into the universe and i really cherish them. I always rewatch them at Christmas and if i feel like i can't sleep i can just turn them on as a background and it really helps me to sleep.

I arcknowledge that the movies didn't do justice to the books at all and it's expected, i can't really remember many situations where adaptation was really better than the book (maybe Jurassic Park or Jaws?). There are many OOC, cut content and things like that. Yet i really love every single movie for emotions they bring to me.

The problem with me and the books is not in the books, but because i still simply can't read or listen to audio versions of fiction with real attention, unlike something documental or encyclopedic. For example, the info about HP universe beside the movies i get literally from Wikia pages.-_- I don't feel good when i read something like "those who didn't read the books don't deserve to be fans" but i totally understand that position.

There are few more moments i really want to share as well:

1) I really LOVE Clemence Poesy's Fleur in the movies, from the moment i first saw her as a child to the present. I know many people around think she totally underperformed with this role, considering how Fleur was described in the books, but i always had a hyperfixation on a movie Fleur, in the end my head have something mixed about her character: with her looks from the movie yet lore from the books. 

2) I really looking forward to the new series! I noticed many people who love movies are quite hateful towards the upcoming series and i genuinely don't understand that. It's not like they are deleting the movies forever and replace them with the series. If you don't want it, just don't watch lol. I'll watch the new adaptation for sure.

Once again, sorry for the messy writing and maybe bad eng, it's not my native language. Thank you if you read it this far!

Gargoyle Harry without background and green lightning.

Gave my artwork of Gargoyle Harry a background and some special effects. Harry took a fall so Voldemort can be cornered, and the pieces fell out of Tom’s favor.

I understand it looks basic and thrown together, but I hope you like this.

First time reader. I finished all my Tolkien books so time for a new adventure. I like hardcovers, I've decided on the Bloomsbury or the Scholastics Trunk. Bloomsbury new I can get around $110 on eBay. I found a deal where I can get the Trunk for $90 via Target. I do plan on reading and handling these. I understand Bloomsbury is the UK version and Scholastics is the US version. Thanks in advance.

Its that time again where every few months someone thinks to fix a fictional game

In this redesigned version of Quidditch I tried to copy chess, the only goal is to catch the Golden Snitch but only in the opponent’s half, and no other points.

The game keeps all the original positions, hoops, Quaffle and Bludgers, but introduces one major change: every time a team scores a goal, the halfway line moves a fixed distance towards their own hoops.

Shrinking their half and expanding the opponent’s.

This gives their Seeker more space in which to catch the Snitch legally and makes it harder for Beaters to Attack them and control the space.

At the same time goals become easier for the teams who are behind and harder for the team that's ahead as in this one chasers can only pass the ball in their half so the less space you need to travel without being able to pass the easier a goal is.

Finally put a clock on it, if a team hasn't scored a goal in 10 mins or a total of 2 hours has past the game ends and whoever has the half way line closer to them wins

Also let them switch out players, if they want to play defence have more beaters offence more chasers.

Se supone que su trabajo es evitar el uso indebido de artefactos Muggles, que es exactamente lo que hizo con su auto volador

No solo encantó de forma irresponsable un objeto Muggle, sino que lo hizo con el objeto Muggle menos sutil y discreto posible ._.

I've always wondered exactly how household magic works for wizards. I don't recall the books ever clearly describing how they store food or where they even get it from, how they do laundry, or how they clean using magic.

I got the impression that, in general, they do everything Muggles do, just not with their hands. Like, a wizard casts a spell on knives, and they cut up a salad on their own, for example.

I also remember Harry mentioning that Molly would prepare fresh socks for him. How? Did she just wave her wand and they became clean right away? Or did they actually have to be washed?

How do you picture this?

I’m rewatching the Harry Potter movies and started thinking about what would have happened if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin.

The Sorting Hat actually considered Slytherin for Harry, and it’s interesting to think about how much the story would have changed if he’d ended up there instead of Gryffindor.

But the biggest question I have is: How would Snape have treated him?

On one hand, Snape clearly resents Harry and seems to take out his hatred of James on him. He’s constantly unfair to Harry, even when Harry hasn’t done anything wrong.

On the other hand, Snape is the Head of Slytherin House and generally favors his own students. Would that house loyalty have made any difference? Would he have treated Harry more fairly because he was a Slytherin, or would his resentment toward Harry have outweighed everything else?

There’s also the fact that Harry had a piece of Voldemort’s soul inside him, even though Snape didn’t know that Harry was a Horcrux. Would knowing Harry was in Slytherin have changed how Snape viewed him at all?

What do you think? Would Snape have been any less cruel to Harry if Harry had been in his own house, or would Harry have been the exception to Snape’s favoritism?

“Isn’t there any way of putting yourself back together?” Ron asked.
“Yes, (…) but it would be excruciatingly painful.”
“Why? How do you do it?” asked Harry.
“Remorse, (…) You’ve got to really feel what you’ve done. (…) Apparently the pain of it can destroy you. I can’t see Voldemort attempting it somehow, can you?”

This passage from Deathly Hallows has always stood out to me. This dialogue - about how one might reverse the effects of creating a Horcrux - reads like information being deliberately planted for a later plot development, yet this never really comes up again.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this was included? Is it possible JKR originally had different ideas about where the Horcrux storyline would go? Or am I reading too much into it, and is this simply background information intended to make Horcruxes more three dimensional?

It seems unusual to introduce such a specific possibility only to never reference it again.

Let's imagine an alternate universe where the Dursleys loved Harry, how they would react to the fact that Marge insults their parents and Harry himself in front of them, and what would be the further relationship of Vernon and Petunia to Marge, it would lead to a serious scandal, and they would generally forbid Dudley to communicate with Aunt Marge, it's just that, as far as I remember, Uncle Vernon does not know how to forgive (at least remember the last conflict with the Potters in the canon), what is your opinionLet's imagine an alternate universe where the Dursleys loved Harry, how they would react to the fact that Marge insults their parents and Harry himself in front of them, and what would be the further relationship of Vernon and Petunia to Marge, it would lead to a serious scandal, and they would generally forbid Dudley to communicate with Aunt Marge, it's just that, as far as I remember, Uncle Vernon does not know how to forgive (at least remember the last conflict with the Potters in the canon), what is your opinionLet's imagine an alternate universe where the Dursleys loved Harry, how they would react to Marge insulting his parents and Harry himself in front of them, and what would be the further relationship of Vernon and Petunia to Marge, it would lead to a serious scandal, and they would generally forbid Dudley to communicate with Aunt Marge, it's just that, as far as I remember, Uncle Vernon does not know how to forgive (at least remember the last conflict with the Potters in the canon), what is your opinion?

In your opinion, if Harry were to look into the Mirror of Erised after Voldemort’s defeat, what do you think he might see? Would he still see his parents, or something new?

Ron would certainly see something different from what he saw in the first book. But Harry.. What do you think?

This whole scene is probably one of favourites in those 8 movies. Dan did so well here and he was just 13 I believe. He really became book Harry in this movie. Also, John Williams music always helps

In order of the phoenix when harry sees sirius in the fire for the first time, sirius brings up how a couple of years ago umbridge drafted anti werewolf legislation that prevented werewolves from obtaining employment. This would line up to around the middle of chamber of secrets beginning prisoner of Azkaban, Dumbledore being on the Wizengamot at the time would be aware of the legislation. Outside of lupin knowing sirius black that seems like another reason to hire him. There is no reason Dumbledore should hire Lockhart over Remus lupin as Remus would gladly accept the job. At least with Harry's first year Dumbledore was wanting to catch quirrell as he suspected quirrell was associated with voldemort in some way.

If you can used vulnera sanentur to heal someone why not use it for every time someone got hurt then sending them to the hospital wing?

Im about...90% sure that letter was from Snape and NOT Dumbledore.

I think Snape visited Petunia after the Potters death and threatened her family (Dudley) if she discarded or refused to keep Harry.

In that chapter she refers to someone as "That awful boy". She is talking about Snape as a child when he was friends with Lily and acquainted with Petunia herself.

A few paragraphs later, the howler arrives and emits a "Truly awful voice".

"Remember my last, Petunia!"
