My dad did not get them but then he read them all on a vacation and in the airplane toilet and was super into harry potter from then on. He correctly guessed that sirius's brother stole the locket a couple years before the last book was out.

Zore posted:Harry/Ron/Hermione gently caress around in the woods for a year while Voldemort takes over Britain. We get an endless amount of new ~Wand Lore~ and hyper powerful magical artifacts no one mentioned up until this point. There is a long running subplot where we learn Dumbledore was bffs with Wizard Hitler and had family drama because of it (this is where JKR later inserted that he was gay). They eventually make it back to Hogwarts have a final battle where a bunch of people die (and we learn Snape was a good guy all along! Also he forces Harry to look him in the eyes as he's dying so he can pretend its Harry's mom doing so) I got too scared by your summary and closed my eyes! I STILL don't know how it ends!

What I'm seeing is, that Voldemort is still on the loose and Harry Potter, our last hope, Has now died and been abducted by a ghost. I hate to say it folks, but it might just be time to pledge allegiance to the dark lord

In a sense all the ghosts have horcruxes, probably, magical paintings and graven artifacts stolen from goblins, axes that are used to behead people, used to bind them to the earth. It makes sense voldemort was a ghost, probably more sense because it is not explained like in a book or by a character explicitly.

Sydin posted:I still find it hilarious that there are apparently zero remedial options available to students who don't fail their exams. Like it is posited to Harry that unless he gets x,y,z grades at the ripe old age of 15, his dream is dead forever. You'd think if there were other options McGonagall would have gone "well hey a wizard FBI agent, that's just great. You need top marks to do that right out of school, but don't sweat it if you don't ace potions: the ministry has a continuing education program you can do that - if you eventually show NEWT level mastery - will let you become an Auror." A wizarding job interview basically consist of magically manipulating your graders or the interviewer so that they will believe you aced everything, but given that this is a common practice the interviewer has all sort of countermanipulation spells at his disposal. In the end, if the wizard gets the job, the grades are deemed irrelevant anyway because they just unquestioningly proved their magical abilities

I registered a Space Jam 2 pitch with the WGA, nobody ever got back to me about it. It had a little crossover idea in there, (The Gorillaz play halftime) which I would assume is a normal easy idea everyone would have but weirdly the villain is named "Al," so I am now half expecting to have written the plot of this movie I know nothing about.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:In more of my teenage fanfic Potter universe posting, I would’ve really liked “you have to mean it” was a real thing. In particular as a way to explain why the death eaters aren’t just casting death spell at everyone but Harry in every fight. In the headcanon, you really, really have to mean it. Dudes like Lucius Malfoy can’t just blast avada kedavra left and right- he’s in with the nazis for money and power, he has no qualms with people dying for it, but at the end of the day he’s too cowardly to pull the trigger himself on some rando, especially a kid. He WAS about to kill Harry Potter before dobby stopped him, at least in the movie

This Christmas we enjoyed a House Elf's pudding. This is when, after a house elf has died, his veins and insides and cavities are filled with a custard, then he is taken to a vat filled with a special sugar-solvent potion to sit for five years. At the end of five years, his meat and bones have congealed into a kind of a sweet jellied syrup. It is then served.

All of them also pretty quickly worked to disassociate their images from their HP roles so they could move on to doing other poo poo. What are you talking about? Rupert Grint went insane and recreated the life of Elvis. Then they caught him and put him in a cage in las vegas where people throw banana peels at him.

" and annoying the poo poo out of everyone around them

This convo has been getting stale and as Head Wizard Poobah of this thread I am imposing a new rule. If you level a nonspecific complaint about the quality of JK Rowling's writing, like Ccs posted:Is there a consensus about when JKR's writing really turned for the worse? Was it when she moved away from the more middle-grade writing of the series toward the death and destruction of the last book? Or did it take until The Cursed Child and the recent Fantastic Beasts movies for her writing to really degrade? Then the post MUST also contain a passage of a story about wizards, fantasy and/or magic of the poster's own creation. It must be a continuing story, or passages about the same world, and the author needs to take it 100% seriously. No jokey 2000s era something awful, riker pooping and vomiting on the holodeck. Real feelings about wizards. Otherwise, probation. I assume, based on nothing, the mods will back me up here. If you have real critique or criticism, it has to be specific and about what is in the books and movies. That's ok. Just no more boring effigy.
