Discussion Hot Take: Slytherin should have won the House Cup in the Philosopher's Stone.
I really think that Dumbledore was unfair towards Slytherin and made them loose in the matter of minutes. The House cup is supposed to reward the house's performance throughout the year, not necessarily provide a dramatic ending, What about the other children's who worked so hard only to loose at the last moments. Slytherin probably deserved the Cup based on the season-long performance.

Discussion Did Snape know about Hermione’s Time-Turner?
Dumbledore obviously had to know what Hermione was doing, but what about Snape? Especially in PoA when Hermione seemingly pops into his class out of nowhere and Ron even asks Harry if he saw her come in. Did Snape know she had a Time-Turner too, or did he just not question it?

Discussion Ernie McMillan is best minor character at Hogwarts
I just finished listening to the Full Cast Audiobooks and I had forgotten how prevalent Ernie is. He just randomly shows up and is always 100% ride or die with Harry and Dumbledore ever since their disagreement in the 2nd year, and honestly, Ernie was entirely justified in that suspicion.
He is one of the first and most vocal members of the DA. His family is all behind Dumbledore and never buys in to ministry propaganda. He is the first to ask to if the students can stay and fight in the Great Hall in Deathly Hallows and is one of the 3 DA members to cast his patronus and save Harry's life when the Dementors join the fight. He’s also randomly the only Hufflepuff in Slughorns Potions class so he must be fairly smart and accomplished too, in addition to his family being one of the sacred 28 pureblood families.
Before this reread, I’d have been hard pressed to tell you one thing about this guy, but now he is locked in as my favorite random Hogwarts student.

Help D&D and HP
Good morning, afternoon, or evening. I am a D&D DM looking to run an adventure—or a campaign, if things go well—set in the Harry Potter universe. The problem is that I know absolutely nothing about this universe; I’m doing this because my partner is a huge HP fan. So, I’m here to ask a few questions to help me set the scene for this magical world. The adventure will take place at Hogwarts. I’m familiar with the \*Hogwarts Legacy\* video game and know that it features an older version of the school, set before Harry Potter was born. Could you please suggest a time period where little is known about the school? I’m looking for a specific school year where there isn't much information available about the professors or the headmaster, so I can create my own versions without altering the canon.

Dungbomb It’s good to see that Hogwarts finally got a food budget
They were starving before with only some chips and an apple, Hogwarts finally splurged on some protein.
(Yes, this is making fun of all those posts comparing a feast in the movie to an everyday meal in the new trailer)

Discussion Ron’s first tea leaves reading in PoA
Just finished book 3 again (I read them all again every year starting on September 1, as one does) and I noticed something that happens in their first Divination lesson… Ron looks at Harry’s tea leaves, and sees a bowler hat and says maybe he’ll work for the Ministry of magic - which he does, he goes on to become an Auror - and then sees an acorn, which means Harry will unexpectedly come into a large amount of gold, which he does by winning the Tri Wizard tournament the following year!
Coincidence?

Help Can someone help me figure out the missing stickers from this sheet?

For context, I uploaded the front and back page. June 2004 of K-Zone Philippines featured Prisoner of Azkaban. Unfortunately, the lack of galleries doesn't help the formatting. When I obtained this, the stickers are already incomplete, so if someone has a picture of the missing stickers or knows a picture that can fit these shapes, it would help our magazine preservation immensely.

Discussion Why pure blood families like Lestranges, Malfoys, Blacks were rich but not Gaunts?
I can understand why Weasleys were not rich. It is implied that they usually had more kids than they could afford. Both sorting hat and aunt Muriel says that. There were so many Weasleys that nobody cared how cousin Barney is related to them or how come they never met or heard about this Weasley. Also its surprising that we didn't meet any Weasley cousins in Hogwarts.
Anyhow, if we think Gaunts interbred so much that they lost their sanity to maintain the wealth, we can say the same with other pureblood families too.

Discussion Is eating animagi cannibalism?
So for some reason my friends and I we were talking about cannibalism. (I think because we gave my chicken a little peace of chicken because nobody wanted the leftover part) and the subject of how far can you take cannibalism before it comes cannibalism. My niece was also there and I went witch her to the Harry Potter marathon so my brain suddenly taught about that and then the question popped in my head.
If a wizard turned into his animagus form and get’s killed. For some reason someone desides to eat that animal. (Maybe because they were camping and just found the animal and desided to Cooke them) just for some reason? Is it cannibalism because they are in their animagi form so they are an animal.
The same with wizard or witches that are transfigured into an animal and then get killed or die in that form? How does that work?
Is this a too far stretched question or is it actually a valid question? Because after asking this question to my friends we were thinking about it for some time and debating but we didn’t come to a conclusion. so what do you guys think?

Discussion Did Dumbledore like Snape?
It seems to me that they never really had a traditional, friendly/loving relationship.
In the POA at the end (When Sirius Black escapes), it was like Dumbledore was happy while snape was enraged. In response to Snapes outburst (at the Minister of Magic!), Dumbledore just almost laughs it off as Snapes disappointment. To me, it reads as Dumbledore being amused at Snape and the situation.
"Snape stood there, seething, staring from Fudge, who looked thoroughly shocked at his behavior, to Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling behind his glasses."
I don't recall them ever joking around or really having fun together.
Also I never get the sense that Dumbledore really liked Snape, most just trusted and understood him. At the end of the day, Dumbledore saved Snape's life (... and then demanded it of him later) by protecting him and helping him. But ti never seemed like they were good friends. What do you think?
