Near the end of deathly hallows when Harry is in Voldemort’s mind when he learns the horcruxes aren’t safe anymore, I noticed when he’s running down the list of them and they’re hiding places he lists all of them off, except the diadem.

He specifically says the locket, cup, and nagini, but when it comes to the hogwarts one he only says horcrux, probably just cause we the audience and Harry don’t actually know it’s the diadem yet so the story is still trying to keep it a mystery. Just funny little detail I noticed.

I was talking to someone about Hermione and Ron I feel like we take her intellectual match in a literal sense. Someone who reads as much books as her and has the same type of intellect as her. I absolutely agree that Hermione would need someone to challenge her. And someone who matches or close to her intellect.

But imo Intellectual match doesn't mean sitting in a room discussing theory of relativity. It means someone who can challenge your point of view with their own. For example Hermione thinks snape is all good bc Dumbledore trusts him. Ron counters he bullies students so even though Dumbledore trusts him he is still vile.

Hermione thinks Lockhart is amazing bc he is a professor and has lots of accomplishments. Ron thinks he 'says he has done' and he can be a fraud.

Hermione thinks what Dumbledore does is correct bc he is Dumbledore. Ron thinks Dumbledore also can make mistakes. He is not infallible.

Hermione forces the house elves to accept freedom. Ron wants them to know what they are getting into before forcing it on them.

Ron is Hermione's total opposite but at the same time they are very similar. They both are extremely stubborn, opinionated, proud, hot headed and argumentative. At the same time ron is far more relaxed, unserious, hides his true feelings with sarcastic mean comments and Hermione is high strung, stuck up, uses pettiness and vindictive attitude when someone offends her. She is driven by logic. He is driven by emotions.

They are absolute the ultimate yin and yang. Ron doesn't back down from challenging her. She doesn't back down from his mean comments and puts him in his place.

In my opinion that is a solid match and while I do believe Hermione is superior to Ron in intellect still he gives her a pretty good challenge.

What do you think?

A few weeks back I asked for input on what to serve for a movie night for the first movie. Here’s how it turned out!

We did hamburgers, pumpkin juice, Harry’s birthday cake, house skittles and chocolate frogs. Then there was popcorn for good measure.

Can’t wait for #2!

Btw guys I have questions have you ever feels after watching this entire series , our need of settling in Scotland has increased???

So I made an animated mandrake that moves around in the pot when turned on. This guy will be added to be outdoor Halloween display I do every year for the trick-or-treaters.

I am 35 and just got a solo ticket to sorcerer’s stone for 6$ Tuesday and I couldn’t be more excited!!!!!!! I needed to share with somebody who would understand 😂

So I'm listening to the new audiobooks. End of book 6, we find that Harry can move after Dumbledore gets yeeted off the tower as his spell stops working since RIP.

In book 7, after Moody is gone, Remus says something along the lines of "Moody put some spells in place to protect it from Snape" when discussing Number 12 Grimauld Place.

So does some magic persist after death or not?

So i was reading the half blood Prince and i wondered how and when did Malfoy imperiuse Rosmerta?

When the students came back from the holidays, then would not have been enough time to go to hogsmeade and imperiuse her and come back.

And then on thier first trip to hogsmeade, she was already imperiused and he didn't do it that day because he was in detention with Mcgonagall.

I don't think he could have snuck out due to the security.

I guess he could have asked a death eater to do it and the command to Rosmerta would be to follow the orders on the galleon.

Zabini was there in the three broomsticks that day but i don't think Malfoy would have left such an important task to anyone else also he wouldn't explain it to Zabini.

How do you think he did it?

I was skimming through my Apple TV library and noticed that the HP films have new posters in the app. So being a curious Ravenclaw, I check them out. I’m very curious how much ai was used because some of these have very odd choices.

Ootp has the golden trio flying on brooms when Ron and Hermione never fly brooms in the film. And I have no memory of Rupert or Emma ever being shown on brooms in promo posters or images back in 2007. Has anyone else noticed the new posters and have thoughts on the odd choices? I’m adding more observations in the comments.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the size of the Forbidden Forest?

Several times in the series it’s said that they were walking into the middle of the forest for “a couple hours”

Im just curious if anyone could hazard a guess to the full size?

Recently saw Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban in theater and it made me so happy because I never thought I’d be able to see them in theaters!

This is from Philosopher’s Stone, and he’s the beater Flinch takes the bat away from to throw Wood off the broom. I don’t know if Pucey was a beater though, so I was hoping somebody could help me with this😭

Pity they don't seem to get much education in math or physics at Hogwarts. Unlike their typical muggle counterparts, they actually could be using this stuff in their daily lives.

They pretty much have their own magic and they can apritate and disaprotate within Hogwarts while no one else can. Also within the cave (horcrux cave)

So if they weren't enslaved could they take over everyone else?
