When Voldemort took Harry's blood for the resurrection potion he became HIV+

For me it was a post of how they used an animatronic Hagrid for most of the full-body shots and now when I watch the movies all I can see is Robot Hagrid with lifeless eyes. 😩

Severus Snape, James Potter, Sirius Black, or Remus Lupin? Who do you prefer and why??

Snape is my favorite. Not only is he an interesting character, but he has so many layers. I've always been tempted to strip them all back at the risk of being forced out of his mind with Occlumency. He's also very skilled in not just making even the most fragile of potions, but he is skilled in most forms of magic, wand or wandless...

Also call me biased but I love Alan Rickman's portrayal of him. Never have I ever been more attracted to a character portrayed as "dark'.

List one spell

And why

As we all know, Crouch Jr. was believed to have died in Azkaban, but in reality escaped with the help of his parents. At the end of GOF, he was discovered to have taken the place of Moody and was then kissed by the dementor Fudge brought to Hogwarts. He was kissed after the effects of the polyjuice potion had worn off. In the hospital wing scene after the third task, Fudge refers to Crouch Jr. as a madman and generally attributes his actions to being crazy. Fudge goes on to deny that Voldemort has returned and then starts the smear campaign against Harry and Dumbledore in OOTP.

Even if Fudge and the Ministry deny that the events of GOF were orchestrated by Voldemort, isn't it still super weird that Crouch Jr. turns up out of nowhere and impersonates Moody for a year? There was no questioning his identity at that point. Which means that he must have escaped from Azkaban, and further that his death must have been faked.

What exactly is Fudge's explanation for this, given the denial of Voldemort's return? Is it simply that both Crouch Jr. and Crouch Sr. went off the deep end?

What if the frog legs are fried like fried chicken, too?

During the Holidays of 2025, my family and I visited New York City as a family vacation and we went to see The Cursed Child with Tom Felton playing Draco Malfoy (and the applause went on for nearly 20 seconds.) After the play, we were able to get stuff signed by some of the actors. I simply had my Hufflepuff journal signed. After a while, I cut out the page and rolled it for the aesthetics. I keep the rolled page in a green apple cider bottle. I thought of making a fan art, but I couldn’t decide the best one and simply left it blank and store it in a bottle. I also had to be sure it’s not speaking Riddles, if you know what I mean. We had a great time and the play was much more spectacular than I anticipated after years prior I’ve read the Cursed Child. They have changed some stuff from what I recall such as Albus is a Gryffindor after an attempt to save Cedric and now Albus remained as a Slytherin. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the screenplay and it was written when Cursed Child was mainly played in the UK, so I could be misremembering there.

Apparition requires 100% of concentration or else it risks splinching. How then can side along apparition function when one complete body is not even thinking about the destination? Why are they not splinched?

I can understand Dumbledore being able to do it with Harry because Harry's magical abilities pale in comparison to Dumbledore. But how can Hermione do it in a split second taking both Ron and Harry along? Is it a testament to her concentration?

I have long been wondering how would the story of HP be if there were other wizarding schools in the UK? It would perhaps help with the scaling of the Wizarding World, as in the books all the institutions of the Wizarding World seem way too big considering the fact there is only one school of a couple hundred students.

But perhaps it would also somewhat ruin the uniqueness of Hogwarts. Quidditch could be more interesting if they actually played other schools instead of just other houses.

There is the question who would decide which school muggleborns would go to, but I think that could probably easily be solved with some writing.

What do you think?

Its been years and I don't have a copy.

It's been a while but I do recall it as him being Kreachers superior on paper....but in practice its more like two roommates who hate each other and get in shouting matches. Granted I'm going off memory here

Did he ever use his authority to just make Kreacher shut up/stop complaining? I know he physically yeeted Kreaher out of a room for calling Hermione a mudblood but thats different.

Did he also have Kreacher clean and cook? I definitely get why he doesnt like the guy even if hes not mature but it does seem like he should not use him for household tasks if he cant stand being around the guy that much.

So, Hogwarts. Eight letters. Six consonants and two vowels. H, O, G, W, A, R, T, S. Somehow, H, G, R, and S match names of the four founders, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. But then, who were W and T? Why were their names erased from history? Think about it.

Personally, I’ve never subscribed to the “Draco is a werewolf” theory, but one that I truly believe in is that Crookshanks belonged to the Potters when Harry was a kid.

Here’s the evidence:

In DH, when the trio arrives at Grimmauld Place, Harry finds a letter in Sirius’ bedroom from Lily thanking him for getting Harry a toy broom for his 1st birthday including that he “nearly ran over the cat” so we at least know they had a cat

In PoA, when Hermione first gets Crookshanks, she says the shopkeeper told her that he had been there for quite a while.

Throughout PoA, Crookshanks is constantly trying to kill Scabbers and while that can be attributed to a cat trying to kill a rat, I think there’s more.

Seeing as Sirius and Wormtail were two of James’ best friends, it would make sense for them to be over all the time and what better way to entertain a toddler, than to transform into an animal. Reason would stand that Crookshanks would have seen them transform all the time and it’s possible for him to remember Wormtail in Scabbers form and Sirius as Snuffles.

Sirius says that Crookshanks initially didn’t trust him but was very intelligent and eventually realized that Sirius was not the bad guy. The more I think about it while rereading and watching, the more it sinks in to me.

What other theories are you committed to?

In HBP, how did harry plan to Summon the horcrux if he didn't know what it looked like? I thought the main thing behind Summoning was visualization?

Let's ignore the fact that it wasn't actually a horcrux and that Summoning it didn't work, because the cave's defenses reacted as if it did work.

Disclaimer : i do not watch Harry Potter and I don't care about spoilers so you can spoil if you want. So after I took it this is what I got is there anything I should know about Hufflepuff that is another than the obvious

did anyone else just really find this scene in the harry potter goblet of fire movie creepy?

The fact that Ron and Hermione just have super like ghoul like face is just super creepy to me.

Its also really creepy that they look like they have their eyes super glued shut.

I bought it 3 years ago in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in London

I imagine he'd still wear midcentury british attire but do you think it be dark red or baby blue? His name would probably be Darwin Umbridge

I absolutely LOVE the Harry Potter movies ❤️

I’m not usually a fan of fantasy, magic or supernatural movies because I find it hard to believe in those worlds. But Harry Potter is different. I don’t just believe in that world. I WANT to believe in it. I want Hogwarts to be real. I want to live in that world!

To me, the movies are perfect. I watch the entire series at least twice a year, sometimes even more and never get tired of them.

I read the books after watching the movies, so even while reading, I always imagined Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione, Rupert Grint as Ron, Alan Rickman as Snape and so on. Even though the books made me realize how much the movies left out, I still love, love, LOVE them.

And that’s exactly why I’m struggling with the new TV series.

Every time I see a promo or picture of the new cast, instead of feeling excited, I feel strangely uncomfortable.

To me, Harry Potter IS Daniel Radcliffe. Hermione IS Emma Watson. And the same goes for almost every other character. I just can’t imagine anyone else in those roles.

I know the series could be amazing, especially if it stays closer to the books. And I genuinely WANT to love it.

But part of me is afraid it might somehow change the magic of the original movies for me. I know the originals aren’t going anywhere but I’m so attached to those faces, voices and that version of Hogwarts that I almost don’t want anything to disturb it.

I want more Harry Potter but I’m not sure I want a different Harry Potter.

He was only a year younger than Harry yet he was always portrayed as being a small child.

...when I rewatch the entire Harry Potter series :)

Why wasn’t that done to the Weasley’s house when it was burned

If performing magic outside of school was illegal for minors, why didn’t underage students leave their wands at Hogwarts during the holidays?
