Harry had walked right past the stone gargoyle guarding the entrance to Dumbledores office without noticing. He blinked, looked around, realized what he had done, and retraced his steps, stopping in front of it. Then he remembered that he didn't know the password.

"Sherbet lemon?" he tried tentatively.

The gargoyle did not move.

"Okay," said Harry, staring at it, "Pear Drop. Er — Licorice Wand. Fizzing Whizbee. Drooble's Best Blowing Gum. Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans…oh no, he doesn't like them, does he?…oh just open, can't you?" he said angrily. "I really need to see him, its urgent!"

The gargoyle remained immovable.

Harry kicked it, achieving nothing but an excruciating pain in his big toe.

"Chocolate Frog!" he yelled angrily, standing on one leg. "Sugar Quill! Cockroach Cluster!"

The gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside. Harry blinked.

"Cockroach Cluster?" he said, amazed. "I was only joking.…"

My daughter just asked a great question and I love your input. If you gave veritaserum to someone under the Imperius Curse, would they tell the truth even if the spell caster ordered them to lie?

Obviously I’m talking about Cedric’s death, and I love how as Harry gets back to the opening to the maze with Cedric’s body, it takes a while for people to notice, also the way Harry yells “No” as he tried to cling to Cedric’s body is some excellent acting from Daniel Radcliffe. And then as the crowd gets closer they realise that Cedric is gone and it goes more quiet, then when Cedric’s dad gets close, the absolute devastation is some peak acting.

Am I the only one who thinks this? I think it makes a ton of sense: He's super smart in terms of strategy as we know by his chess skills, he's super knoforedgable about quidditch, probably the most knowledgeable in the series, and he's super passionate about the sport.

I was reading HBP and Hermione says Harry grew a foot over the summer. It could be not taken literally and he just grew a lot over summer break and he is called small & skinny, but I doubt he was under 5 feet when he was 14/15, so could Harry be at least 5’10 -6’0 and up???

So, is the blood flowing through Voldemort literally just Harry’s or is it like a blood transfusion kinda thing?

Everytime a Horcrux is created you lose a piece of your soul.

Everytime you fall in love you give a piece of your heart to someone. But when you get heartbroken, you lose a piece of your heart.

Too many heartbreaks can leave you numb and have no heart pieces left to give.

I'm usually kind of picky, but the book is surprisingly good for a children's book. It is pretty enjoyable read, if you want something light.

​

Harry liking computers was kind of hilarious, never heard anyone mention it before. He could have never finished those vidya games in magical world, so good thing that he didn't get too hooked. Hogwarts must be kind of annoying for a muggle born PC nerd.

​

Good thing that the Dursley bit was a short one. Rowling crapping on them constantly and making them cartoonishly stupid and annoying got old quite fast. It was still an okay read. At first Mr. Dursley actually made sense, until a bomb was dropped, and it was told that he hated imagination in general. It was dooown hill from that. He was sympathetic for a few moments before that.

​

For some reason I like Hermione more. She is described to be quirky, and with front teeth, and is not very popular because her annoying personality. In the movie she is like some child super model whose hair is messed up to force her to look quirkier.

​

Hagrid is even cooler, an absolute beast of a man. His fucking feet are described to be like dolphins. Imagine that. Wearing rags, getting drunk all the time, giving no fucks. Befriending kids, and then making them do dangerous slave labour for him, like taking care of illegal dragons, cleaning up his unlawful dirty work, and finding unicorns in the forbidden forest. Does not need a wand, because he will shoot you in the face with a crossbow. Absolute mad lad. Rides a flying motorcycle, because brooms are for sissies. Gets expelled for being too cool for school, but does magic anyway, because fuck it.

​

Everything in general is quirkier. However, I rolled my eyes so hard when some physical object was transformed into a boar. Ladies and gentlemen, this is how infinitely complex living and sentient creatures are manufactured, casually from physical objects. Now I understand why Christian movements really hate H.P and the like, that is some kind of messed up God role play, and weird as hell. The moral, physical, and philosophical ramifications of this act are infinite. But I guess it was meant to be just a quirky thing for children. Now I know at least where their bacon comes from.

​

Just a bit shame that not so much shades of gray. Everyone is either good or bad. The book is not that long, but in a long run that could get a bit boring or stale.

​

If Molly’s letter to the Dursley’s arrived while they were having breakfast and Pig had arrived when Harry went back upstairs after being in the kitchen for a very short while, are we to assume that they deliver at the same speed?

Harry is loved and adopted by Dursleys. They don’t want him to know his real identity and ask Lucius Malfoy’s help without knowing his true self. Lucius cunningly somehow manages to make Harry time travel to 1970s as he goes through the pillar to platform 9 3/4. There Harry studies as muggleborn and is discriminated. He fights a duel (trained by Flitwick) with a pure blood heir to prove Muggle burns are not weak. Pairing with Bellatrix Black. Also Dumbledore knows that Harry has time travelled.

Any fics like this?

He fellow Potter heads.

In book 1 Harry is worrying about being expelled for the first time and he hopes if he is expelled that hagrid would take him on as the assistant game keeper. I dont know why but its my millionth time reading the books and it just occurred to me how funny it would be to know the story if this actually happened! i need a theory or a skit of some kind! has anyone else thought this through?

Slytherin

She would have help him against Voldemort as a partner.

Because Dumbledore just left baby Harry, in a basket, on the Dursley's front step. After the weatherman on TV had promised rain for that night. And what about any muggle burglars that might have been operating in that (very wealthy) suburb that night? Does the charm stop them from taking Harry and (in the least horrifying scenario) leaving a ransom note?

Seriously. Wtf Dumbledore??

For me it's "There's no need to call me sir professor"

Like Malfoy Manor rich. Molly and Arthur no longer have to split his couple level affluent salary across 20 kids. So we know their getting a huge lifestyle upgrade. Ginny and Harry aurora and quidditch player-loaded. Bill and Charlie were already affluent. Wizarding wheezes is booming George is good. Ron auror and the minister of magic-loaded as hell.

Slytherins hate them

Why didn't Dobby join the Burrow after he left the Malfoys? Mrs Weasley said she always wanted a house elf and he could match the family spirit.

Did he really think that by creating more, he would become more immortal, or what? Or did he think that the fact that he split his soul seven times would give him incredible magical power? I just don't understand his logic.

(It’s a bit long, sorry.)

Setting the stage: it’s 990 AD/CE. The Saxons have been at it for donkey’s years; the Norse have an unpleasant habit of showing up, seductively bathing more than once a month, and beating peasants over the head with their own jawbones; and witches and wizards are enemies of however many states there are this Tuesday. Trouble is, witches and wizards aren’t just limited to the families scattered across the isles—some pop up in the most peculiar families, seemingly born from turn earth itself, and others come direct from non-magic folk not being eaten by goblins or Veela long enough to procreate with them. And four of the isles’ most respected magicians are starting a school.

It’ll be great to have a place to learn, of course—pooling knowledge and ensuring community and all that. But there’s the unfortunate reality that they’re a small, scattered community, sometimes shrinking from squibs and sometimes (unnecessarily, to some) enlarged by children with raw earth-magic in their blood. And the key is to keep the children safe, and the community safe.

So, says Salazar Slytherin, it’s best to teach students who will strive to enhance themselves and their families—the families who aren’t mostly non-magical, who won’t reveal their peers to local authorities for a permanent dunk in the lake, who won’t have kids with enough raw earth-magic in them to cause trouble for the less inherently dangerous kids around them.

So, says Godric Gryffindor, it’s best to teach students who can handle themselves to handle themselves, to face foes fearlessly. And maybe take some swimming lessons.

So, says Rowena Ravenclaw, it’s best to teach students who can further Wizarding culture—and, heck, at least one of the other cultures they come from—through pursuit of learning. “Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure”—knowledge is power, and could save your life.

So, says Helga Hufflepuff, what were you three drinking last night? These are children. They should, I hasten to remind you all, be safe. Yes, Sally, even the earth-bloods. If we want the magical community to survive, we need people who will be loyal to it. And the way to get loyalty is to show loyalty. Show these scared and often broken kids that there is a world that accepts them. Start the chain reaction here. Oh, brilliant, Sally’s gone off to sulk. If he’s hatching eggs under toads again, I swear—

…so. In a nutshell. Speculation, of course, but what say you?
