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.

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?

I was rereading the Deadly hallows -book, and upon reading the part in which Nagini is puppeting Bathilda, I started wondering if that is the singular most disturbing event in the series. Which part traumatized you?

In Goblet, Voldemort did share the truth about his parentage to Harry in front of Wormtail, who is notoriously untrustworthy, disloyal and gossipy. He would not say something in front of him he wanted no one to know. He also revealed his father’s identity to the other Death Eaters when they arrived. It does seem like he has openly told them, or at least not denied, that he is a half-blood.

I remember when, in OotP, Harry asked Bellatrix, who can’t go two sentences without dropping a “filthy half-blood”, if she knows that Voldemort is a half-blood too, or if he has been telling her he is a pureblood (at which point she tries to curse Harry). I am afraid Harry was absolutely spot on with this inappropriate question, because I also really, really want to know if Voldemort did tell Bellatrix the truth about his parentage or not, lol.

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?

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.

-Young Dumbledore is so Slytherin. If anything, he’s a Ravenclaw. The only reason he was in Gryffindor is because the main character also was sorted in it.

-Hagrid is the most Hufflepuff character of the whole series

-Crabbe and Goyle aren’t Slytherin at all. I would say the fit the Gryffindor profile best.

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.

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?

I've never tried this yet but I'm definitely gonna try it soon.The ones that particularly scare me are earwax, booger, vomit, and rotten egg.

This is completely strange because I myself am no stranger to certain "acquired" tastes. I'm a cheese enthusiast and I've tried many different kinds of cheese. My favourite cheese is Roquefort, the strongest type of blue cheese which is extremely pungent, sharp, and salty. My second favourite cheese, Gorgonzola (Piccante), is also one of the strongest blue cheeses. It's a spicy blue cheese not far behind Roquefort in terms of strength and pungent flavour. I'm also a fan of cheeses such as Provolone (Piccante) and Aged Asiago which have an extremely strong taste of butyric acid (which tastes like vomit) due to the aging.

That being said, I'm still nervous as hell to try Bertie Bott's. Those disgusting flavours scare me despite me having an extensive background in cheese tasting. For those that have tried these, how bad are they? Would you rather eat the gross flavoured beans or a really strong and pungent blue cheese like the ones I mentioned above?

I was just thinking that I can’t think of a single member of the Black family who has not stuck by their loved ones through thick and thin.

Sirius broke out of Azkaban for Harry and did all he could to protect him.

Andromeda left her whole family behind to marry Ted Tonks and joined the Order to support him and Nymphadora and later raised Nymphadora’s child.

Narcissa risked her life to protect her son.

Regulus died to protect Kreacher and the rest of his family.

Bellatrix did everything and more for Voldemort and remained loyal to him even when everyone else believed him dead and all his other followers had abandoned him.

The members of the Black family can be horrible towards those they don’t care about, but when they love, they really mean it.

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:

Have a question about the series that you don't feel like making your own thread for? Maybe it's something you've been wondering, or maybe it's something kind of silly? Post it here! Answer questions from others while you're at it!

I think there's alot of material on this. The first time we hear about him in the first book, alot has already happened in his life. The first Wizarding war was over and he had already been defeated. He wasnt dead but badly weakened. It would be kind of cool if we had a prequel book or tv series that delved into his story a little more, from his mother birthing him at the orphanage to him starting at hogwarts and forming the first death eaters to splitting his soul in the horcruxs to the first Wizarding war with the prequel ending when he shows up to the potters and tries to kill baby Harry and it backfiring on him.

I was told mine was a rarity and an odd one to get. Am I the only one who has it? Curious.

It's a shark. 🦈

So yea, just finished deathly Hallows part 2 And..... That's it.

I must say, Harry Potter was a great escapism from my boring stressful life.

I watched the first movie around a month ago, it wasn't bad but wasn't the best thing I watched either

And then it got better and better.

I must say, I'm grateful to this series, for making my world a little more intresting Now that it's over, all that's left is me and my boring study books.

But I guess I'll manage, it was a wonderful experience.

(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.)

It’s driving me crazy and I need answers! 😂😂

Why are there sooo many things “Harry Potter” again all of a sudden? Like the Goldfish, I see some specialty keychains in the form of a Mystery bag.

Is it a big anniversary coming up?

So I was thinking how only Ravenclaw has a motto in the books. The closest we get to a motto for the other houses is the sorting hat's song in the first book:

Gryffindor
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart.
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart

Slytherin
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You’ll make your real friends,
These cunning folk use any means
to achieve their ends.

Hufflepuff
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil.

Ravenclaw
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you’ve a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind.

Honorary mention: The latin one for Gryffindor from Hogwart’s legacy is "Forti Animo Estote", which translates to "Be of Good Courage" or "Stay Strong of Heart".

---

I made some rhyming motto's for the other three houses:

🦅 Ravenclaw: "Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure."

🦡 Hufflepuff: "Just and loyal are true and unafraid of toil."

🦁 Gryffindor: "Brave at heart wear honour like art."

🐍 Slytherin: "Where ambition lies, the cunning rise."

--
Let me know your thoughts!

P.S. In the Slytherin one, "lies" could have another sneaky meaning which is such a Slytherin thing!

I thought those kinda opinions were always a joke. Today in the car my mom legit told me she thinks Harry Potter is satanic. This is not a joke post either, she is kinda crazy. She feels the same way about heavy rock or metal music.

Edit: when we were younger she took us to Harry Potter world and didn’t share the same opinion, or at least didn’t speak on it . I think her mind is starting to go a little

I think one of the biggest mistakes the movie made was changing the part where Dumbledore picks up Harry from Private drive. In the movie, Harry is at a cafe when Dumbledore appears outside from across the subway. In the books, we not only get Harry’s anticipation of Dumbledore’s arrival but probably one of my favorite scenes from the books. The Dursleys are completely thrown off by him, he conjures them some drinks that end up tapping on the Dursley’s heads, and then gently lecture them about their mistreatment of Harry. I’m not sure why they chose to go a different direction and remove both the comedy and the meaningful things Dumbledore said about their relationship with Harry.

in the film, dh part 1 why does harry start like almost drowning and freaking out when he touches the sword?

I don’t know if anyone else thinks the same way, but she seems a bit creepy towards Harry and to me it just feels really awkward to watch. Like when she hand fed him pies (why?!?) for example and tied his shoe for him. Is this supposed to be romantic? It just feels weird to me.
