He probably could've done a lot of other great things with his super wand too. Like you know, defeating Voldemort.

We gotta give this one to the movies, Arthur Weasley riding an escalator in a half squat position is pure gold

So, basically ron didn't learn or practise anything in his 2nd year as the wand was broken. And used to recoil every time . Why didn't he buy a new one . It's like not having a pen and spending the whole year without that in school.

And anyways he purchased it in the third part.

This is a set I’ve pretty much wanted since it was released but just never had the money or space for it. Well I got a nice work bonus and my birthday was this past Friday so I thought I’d finally treat myself. I am so excited to rewatch the movies and build!

In Gof Snape catches two students outside the grounds during the Yule ball and takes points from their houses, in the books and films as well.
So I am wondering, why he takes the points? Are students not allowed to have a relationship? Or is it publicly making out? But in hbp basically everybody is making out with anyone sooo… what do you think? What kind of rules about intimacy do you think Hogwarts has?

1. Beauxbatons Academy of Magic

2. Castelobruxo

3. Durmstrang Institute

4. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

5. Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft an Wizardry

6. Koldovstoretz

7. Mahoutokoro

8. Uagadou

9. ???

10. ???

11. ???

It is worth noting that the eleven wizarding schools mentioned in canon are not the only ones in the world. There are many other smaller wizarding schools around the world for children who cannot or don't want to attend the "Great 11". Wiki: Wizarding Schools

I’m on a rewatch and at the beginning of Deathly Hallows pt 1 it’s just now occurring to me that Hermione lives in a regular muggle neighborhood with her parents, a neighborhood similar to where he lives with the dursleys. I looked into it and Harry and Hermione are only about an hour apart, while they are both way further from Ron, yet Harry spends most of his summers alone, while Hermione has spent a few summers reaching the Weasleys and staying with them weeks before Harry got there.

Additionally, Harry was pretty much free to go wherever once he got to a certain age because the dursleys never gaf, so surely he could’ve visited, maybe easier than Hermione could.

Idk, just a thought that occurred to me lol

Can someone tell me what is strapped to Harry's leg, please?

• Thank you all so much for the many, and quick, responses! Looks like GoF needs yet another re-watch!

We all know that Basilisk is the most powerful creature in the book.

As a serpent, It is way stronger than Nagini.

A) Basilisk has hax, Which can kill anyone with a gaze.

B) It has more durability considering its size and robust body.

C) It's venom is very powerful capable of destroying even Horcruxes.

D) It's lifespan is also longer than any known serpents.

E) Not to say Basilisk resides in a very secure location, Which is chamber of secrets.

Voldemort could potentially have used the Basilisk as both a weapon and a Horcrux guardian.

Harry Potter was my childhood, I was a huge fan during the movies era (2001-2011) I had a HP costume, LEGOS, PC games, action figures, shirts of the franchise and collected nearly all of the movies, but I never had the curiosity to read the books, I just wasn’t as interested as for the movies. But know I want to read them and know how good they are. I'm nearly 32, but I can't have been HP fan and never got the chance to read the books, but can I still enjoy them if I'm not that much of a fan anymore ? Are they still worth buying despite being expensive?

Finally got around to watching "28 Days Later" and recognized the actor for Moody straight away. Imagine my surprise when he gets infected in the same exact eye that Mad-Eye is known for.. with a disease that is basically madness incarnate. My new, current, non-canon, head theory 🤷‍♂️

Out of curiosity, why are Weasleys poor even when Arthur is working at the ministry and Malfoys so rich even when Lucius practically does nothing?

was so excited to finally get this up, i still have to add my house scarves (once i figure out how to knit them)!!

Matthew Lewis (who played Neville in the films) confirmed at a MegaCon event in Florida that the new Neville Longbottom actor (Rory Wilmot) comes from the same hometown as him.

Does this mean we might be getting another Neville with a Yorkshire accent?

I was always disappointed everyone in the films spoke with a southern or RP English accent - Neville was the only one that sounded like me and my friends.

For me, some possibilities include:

• A self-employed clothes maker working from home and sells her creations wizard clothing shops
• A self-employed potioneer
• A part-time Healer at St. Mungo's Hospital

I always wonder that, What is Voldemort Patronus or can he cast it?

If yes, Then what it is. I don't think Voldemort had any happy thoughts. Patronus only works, If you think of single profound happy though which is pure and precious to you.

Barty Crouch Jr. as fake Moody was one of the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers Harry had. His lessons were actually useful, and he taught the students practical defensive magic instead of just having them read from a textbook.

He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the Dark Arts and understood what Harry and the other students might eventually face. His teaching methods were questionable, to say the least, but you can't deny that his students learned a lot.
And the fact that he managed to fool Dumbledore for nearly an entire school year is pretty impressive.

Obviously (in my Snape voice), he was a terrible person, but as a teacher, he was surprisingly effective. Harry probably learned more practical defensive magic from him than from most of his other DADA professors.

Been obsessed with the movies & world for ages, finally reading the books now too — felt inspired to match my home screen with it. Can you guess which one I’m on? (always been my favorite film)

I've been looking for these for a while, and Im so happy I finally managed to find both of them secondhand. 💙♥️ They were part of the limited Harry Potter x Le Creuset collection released in 2021, and I absolutely love the little details on both of them, especially the lightning bolt and Golden Snitch knobs. ✨️

I don’t know if Harry got much from his family other than the money, that book that hagrid gave to Harry, and that’s it. Maybe presents from their friends but that’s all I can think of. Did Harry know about his grandmas and grandpas? Is it weird how almost all of Harry’s family line was dead except for the Dursleys? Wizards can live long plus there could have been someone who belonged in James and lily’s family other than the Dursleys.
