I only recently realized this.

The Pensieve allows you to replay and view a person’s memories. Why didn’t Dumbledore at the end of Goblet of Fire think to take Harry and Fudge up to his office, pluck the memory of Voldemort’s resurrection from Harry’s head, and show the Minister full visual proof that Harry’s been telling the truth?

I was thinking could a wizard buy a tiny home and expand it to a massive home.? Is it unlimited like a tardis or scp 3008

Team: I CAN'T STAND PERCY'S CHARACTER IN THE BOOKS. In the movies he's not so annoying.

What y'all think?

EDIT: I realize now, thanks to the comments, that OWL’s aren’t from getting Outstandings but just from passing. So this post is entirely incorrect and I appreciate the help! It did, however, make me wonder about why she only tested on 10 subjects when Percy and Charlie were able to take 12.

I’m baffled. On my 713th re-read/ listen of Harry Potter and I realized that in Chamber of Secrets it is mentioned that both Percy and Charlie (I think it was Charlie and not Bill, but could have been Bill) got 12 O.W.L.’s in their 6th year… and Hermione, who is basically a genius, only got 11… is nobody going to talk about that?! Like, basically her whole personality is being smart and yet she didn’t even do as well as two of the Weasley’s?? I know Umbridge taught that year but she still had Harry’s instruction and he got an Outstanding so really so should Hermione have imo????

I got access to my Harry Potter account after trying for a while to remember my password, and had noticed I never took the Patronus quiz to get assigned one!

I got the Oryx. I can’t find much details online of what/why/basic info on this specific Patronus.

Did JKR ever address this ? Was it because of his horcruxes ? Maybe only an intact soul can become a ghost…but I’d like to know your theories.. Given how he was absolutely afraid of dying, I’m certain that if he could, he would have become a ghost. Also, do ghosts have any magic of their own ? And if not, then can they still cause any harm to living people ?

What kind of house does an average wizard/witch live in? The only wizarding houses I can remember seeing (in movies) were the Weasley Burrow, the Lovegoods house, Malfoy Manor, and the house of Black. These people all have something special about them. The Malfoys and Blacks were both very prestigious wizarding families and the Weasleys were poor. The Lovegoods owned the Quibbler. (which I would assume changes how a house looks) What does your average person or family have for a house in the Wizarding World.

Are we going to ignore the fact that this guy was about to KILL Harry after he gave Dobby his sock unknowingly? I mean, that’s actually wild to me.

Did Lily not come home each summer? Wouldn't Petunia have known about this?

Sadly we have almost no information about Teddy, but I like to think about how his life would have turned out.

Since he got sorted into Hufflepuff, in my imagination he has a lot in common with Tonks. That’s probably why I see him as an Auror. + the fact that Harry was his godfather!! even if he wasn’t the one who raised Teddy, he still had some influence on him and was perhaps his role model.

I’m curious of different opinions and headcanons, I saw that some people think that Teddy would also be interesting as a healer, hogwarts professor or something muggle related.

So what do you think would be a great job for Teddy? Or… if it was up to you to decide what Teddy will do (in any form of HP continuation) what would you choose for him? <3

I was thinking if Molfoy just held onto the diary, would there have been any clue that Voldemort turned a diary into a Horcrux by mistake?

All of his other items were extremely rare magical artifacts and Nagini, so there's no reason to assume he would ever turn a normal diary into one.

Forgive me if this has been realised/previously posted/not a new thought.

The other day during my 34rd re-listen of OOTP, I was listening to The Hearing chapter and it occurred to me that Dumbledore had placed Ms Figg under the imperius curse and was in effect, speaking for her.

Harry has told the court that there were two dementors down the alley and they came for him and Dudley.

Then Ms Figg enters, and tells them the same thing. This appears on the surface to me a good example of a witness - someone who has not heard Harry's story but who can confirm it.

To those in the hearing this would appear to be an independent account which adds weight to Harry's story.

But thinking about it, it's quite easy for someone like Dumbledore to imperio, say what he has just heard, and then use that to logically reason that the ministry has either lost control of the dementors, or ordered the attack (this is a brilliant example of interrogation by the way).

Am I wrong in thinking Ms Figg was under the imperius curse, right under the noses of the court room?

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

So we know that the hogwarts express takes students from kings cross all the way to hogwarts. So does every student from the entire continent have to go to this one station in London to get to hogwarts? Or do some ofbthey live closer aparate to hogsmeade station with their parents, or some other form of transportation if they are closer to the castle?

Hey all! I am curious…Are there any HP fans, Quidditch Fans, Hogwarts Legacy players (etc.) that have a favorite broomstick? Or, if you could make one of your own, what would it look like? What capabilities would it have?

I would probably have one that looks similar to the Ember Dash in Hogwarts Legacy…. With a few mods. Instead of natural embers, I would want blue/violet- and it would for sure be a little flashy in that during acceleration, the brush would explode into flame. Oh! And I would add a side car to each side that has a glass dome lid.. for my two cats so we could mob around together.

I don't get the sense she would that much and she never would express that to Harry.

My mother is very content to feeling that queenie and jacob are somewhat related to harry potter himself. She asked google and the ai said yes, cannot show images here.. is she correct? It says something to do with porputine or something…

I was browsing the Harry Potter wiki and stumbled upon “Jacob’s sibling” and there is just so insanely much info on it and nothing makes sense to me. Can anyone give an easy explanation to who this is?

I have a genuine question, how are you guys pronouncing Lucius? Because I’ve always pronounced it Loo-shuhs- and now I see some people pronounce it as Loo-See-Us?? I’m pretty sure Loo-See-Us is how it’s pronounced in the movies, but I don’t really remember. But like I’m a huge grammar fanatic so it’s Loo-Shuhs to me— EDIT: I meant to say in the movie and books it’s pronounced like Loo-See-Us 😭🙏

I mean, wouldn't it be cool? Or is it sad? Annoying? Tell me what you think and what would you do?

I just finished the Harry Potter films, I am 26 years old and this is my first time watching them. My husband read all of the books a long time ago and he finished everything. When I was younger, when someone tells me to watch it, I was like naaaaahhhhh. Story about wizards, pfff and magic? Boring. But now, oh gosh. I am in love with these movies!!! Tbh some things I did not like, for example, Ron looking like a medival peasant..the ending of the last film..Hermione looks like my old history teacher. Draco is straight up drunk.. THROUGH OUT THE MOVIES THERE WAS SOOO LITTLE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS. Harry and Ginny, when they kiss they are like soulless robots. Ginny just has a poker face 24/7. Giiirl, do you even like him?? My boy Voldemort is such a cool character...the only thing that he needs is a hairline💙💙 where does Dumbledore get all of that magic stuff. The wand, the sword, the stone for bringing back dead people? Where do you keep that? In your magic closet, you old thief

Mainly for the attacking spells, how does the spell actually come out of the wand

Qu 1) Does it travel on the exact trajectory that the wand is pointing at?

Qu 2) does it sorta auto aim to the nearest person, eg. If you point in the general direction, the spell would tend to lead towards the closest person?

Qu 3) Would it be influenced by gravity over a longer distance like a bullet?

I recently learned that a lot of people think Goblet of Fire is the worst movie. I always thought Half Blood Prince was by far the worst because it abandoned most of the books story in favor of teenage drama. Not to mention Daniel Radcliffes awkward tone due to his drinking at the time. Surely I'm not alone in this? Goblet of Fire left out a lot from the book but Barty Crouch Jrs escape and Winky and Ludo Bagman doesn't feel nearly as important to the story as Tom Riddles history and the creation of the Horcruxes.

What combinations of spells was ultimately Bellatrix's downfall?

As far as I can see she did not use a unforgivable curse.

Edit: corrected spelling error

imagine this. in goblet of fire when dragon went down harry feels sympathy. goes down to check. helps it. gains its trust and comes back to egg on the dragon. it would also support what hagrid kept saying, that they are misunderstood creatures.

Re-reading the entire series and it strikes me Snape didn’t really provide that much useful info to Dumbledore, as a spy. The lone information be provides is that Draco Malfoy has been tapped by Voldemort to murder Dumbledore. This is only useful in the sense that it allows Dumbledore to plan his own death and save Malfoy’s soul from being maimed or failing and being killed by Voldemort. However it strikes me that the most useful information Snape ever provided in the series was to Voldemort about the date that the OOTP was moving Harry, which resulted in the death of Mad Eye and Hedwig and the serious injury of George. It seems that remaining as Voldemort’s spy might have done more harm than good, as he was seemingly required to provide this info that harmed the Order. Also I don’t really see how Dumbledore was happy with Snape’s role as headmaster preventing students from suffering the worst from the Carrows when students were routinely tortured, Luna kidnapped, and Neville had to flee school to save himself from being killed. Couldn’t Snape have done more to stop this? What was the real point of him remaining a spy?

As some of you may already know, EA is giving official mod support, same as in for example Witcher 3. It will basically allow modders to do anything they want.

What do you think they'll come up with? Personally, being able to cast protego diabolica or go to ministry of magic would be super cool
