A silly little mouse!
Voldy teleports an artificial nutrient paste directly into his stomach. He then just shits it out on the floor because as a wizard supremacist he believes the switch to toilets was "cultural mugglism". The real reason Lucius Malfoy was so uncomfortable with him in the house was that he wouldn't stop making GBS threads everywhere.

So SyFy has a Harry Potter and you know I'd watch a movie about Luna Lovegood and her husband, Wizard Steve Irwin. Every scene with her is just delightful.

listening to the shrieking shack while reading the fanfic(s) that actually address some of the enormous thematic holes in the books is very funny

the shrieking shack: how the gently caress does nobody know tom riddle is voldemort???

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
Fun fact: in the Icelandic books, his name is Trevor Delgome (Eg er Voldemort).

Which makes him the hero of the story, because the tricks that he does are ever so clever. :v:

Fun fact from the most recent podcast: the randos that come to fight for Harry's side aren't regular wizards, they're specifically the shopkeepers and homeowners of Hogsmeade. Renters? Nope. Cashiers? Line cooks? Servers? Stockers? Nope.

It's as if JK's trying to tell us that the common wizards of the world give no shits about the posh civil war.

I hope I'm wrong but I think there's no say this happens, that would be an incredible gently caress you to Rowling though

And he'll be releasing a definitely objective and informative video about it on his YouTube channel! I'm sure this won't help him monetize "cancel culture" outrage and gradually become yet another provocateur/grifter.

Cyberpunk said it was going to allow you to make a trans character too and it ended up just being an option of choosing between a cut dick, an uncut dick, a slightly bigger dick, or a vagina. So I'm skeptical.

How come JK Rowling doesn’t know how housing numbers work?

I assume Bojo learned about it when a child he is the father of that he wasn't aware of found it and the ministry tried to return it to him.

Turns out giants, like most non-human Great Apes, have hilariously small penises proportional to their body size compared to humans.



Hagrid had a rough time in Hogwarts as a third year once this information got out.

I’ll always have a lot of nostalgia for this series. At least half the movies were great fun and the books are a wonderful read. My second grade teacher read the first one to our class before the series had really taken off so it was quite something to watch it grow into this world encompassing franchise over the years. And tragic to watch the creator own herself repeatedly in Graham Linehan esque fashion. It’s almost a gift that everything Wizarding World since then has been underwhelming or straight up bad.

It also introduced me to this amazing illustrator. I recently commissioned a book cover from him for my own fantasy novel and his work is absolutely the tops.

so is anyone else in the "hated the sixth book, loved the sixth movie" camp?

it's honestly the only film in the whole series that i think holds up outside the perspective of a megafan and/or child. michael gambon was obviously cast specifically to be HBP-dumbledore, which he does a fantastic job of unlike his total botching of the still-mostly-whimsical dumbledore of 3-5. daniel radcliffe is obviously having a blast. and the dude who played slughorn just nailed it. i don't think any of the other films really captured the spirit of the books in the same way, they were too busy shuttling around between plot points to do school life stuff. but HBP is allll school life, and it makes for a very light-hearted fun ride.

except in the book, the emotional tenor is just bleak and mean and sucks all of the fun out of everything. harry is terrible, hermione is suddenly really terrible, and ron is...there. i guess he's fine and having a good time playing quidditch and poo poo.

i think reading HBP was the first time i realized that rowling was planning to drive the series straight into the ground at the end and deathly hallows was just a sad confirmation that she had no idea how the gently caress to end the thing

I remember the sixth movie being a huge step up from the fifth, though 5 did have a pretty cool fight at the end. Can’t remember enough of the books prose the compare the two though.

The 6th book has Roonil Wazlib which is probably the best joke in the series.

The 6th movie streamlines stupid plot bullshit to fit it all and adds more character-building social life for the characters.

The 6th movie does recast Lavender as a white girl as soon as she has to make out with one of the leads which is pretty hosed. No telling if Jo had any part of either the original or recasting tho.
