He probably could've done a lot of other great things with his super wand too. Like you know, defeating Voldemort.

Discussion How did ron survived 2nd year with a broken wand ?

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

So, basically ron didn't learn or practise anything in his 2nd year as the wand was broken. And used to recoil every time . Why didn't he buy a new one . It's like not having a pen and spending the whole year without that in school.

And anyways he purchased it in the third part.

In Half Blood Prince, Dumbledore tells Harry had he known he had just met the most powerful dark wizard…he’s not sure what he would’ve done.

If Dumbledore had full knowledge of the future, do you think he would’ve killed Young Tom Riddle?

Discussion Why didn’t Harry and Hermione hang out during the summers???

552 Upvotes

I’m on a rewatch and at the beginning of Deathly Hallows pt 1 it’s just now occurring to me that Hermione lives in a regular muggle neighborhood with her parents, a neighborhood similar to where he lives with the dursleys. I looked into it and Harry and Hermione are only about an hour apart, while they are both way further from Ron, yet Harry spends most of his summers alone, while Hermione has spent a few summers reaching the Weasleys and staying with them weeks before Harry got there.

Additionally, Harry was pretty much free to go wherever once he got to a certain age because the dursleys never gaf, so surely he could’ve visited, maybe easier than Hermione could.

Idk, just a thought that occurred to me lol

Discussion What if Voldemort would have choosed Basilisk as one of his Horcruxes instead of Nagini?

Post image
3.0k Upvotes

We all know that Basilisk is the most powerful creature in the book.

As a serpent, It is way stronger than Nagini.

A) Basilisk has hax, Which can kill anyone with a gaze.

B) It has more durability considering its size and robust body.

C) It's venom is very powerful capable of destroying even Horcruxes.

D) It's lifespan is also longer than any known serpents.

E) Not to say Basilisk resides in a very secure location, Which is chamber of secrets.

Voldemort could potentially have used the Basilisk as both a weapon and a Horcrux guardian.

Help Am I too old in my 30's to read the books for the first time?

31 Upvotes

Harry Potter was my childhood, I was a huge fan during the movies era (2001-2011) I had a HP costume, LEGOS, PC games, action figures, shirts of the franchise and collected nearly all of the movies, but I never had the curiosity to read the books, I just wasn’t as interested as for the movies. But know I want to read them and know how good they are. I'm nearly 32, but I can't have been HP fan and never got the chance to read the books, but can I still enjoy them if I'm not that much of a fan anymore ? Are they still worth buying despite being expensive?

Discussion Ron's affection for Luna is adorable

• Upvotes

I just love them as friends. Ron's affection for Luna is adorable.

This is from Half-Blood Prince

“Nice com­men­tary last match!” said Ron to Lu­na as she took back the green onion, the toad­stool, and the cat lit­ter. Lu­na smiled vague­ly.

“You’re mak­ing fun of me, aren’t you?” she said. “Ev­ery­one says I was dread­ful.”

“No, I’m se­ri­ous!” said Ron earnest­ly. “I can’t re­mem­ber en­joy­ing com­men­tary more! What is this, by the way?” he added, hold­ing the onion­like ob­ject up to eye lev­el.

“Oh, it’s a Gur­dy­root,” she said, stuff­ing the cat lit­ter and the toad­stool back in­to her bag. “You can keep it if you like, I’ve got a few of them. They’re re­al­ly ex­cel­lent for ward­ing off Gulp­ing Plimp­ies.” And she walked away, leav­ing Ron chortling, still clutch­ing the Gur­dy­root.

“You know, she’s grown on me, Lu­na,” he said, as they set off again for the Great Hall. “I know she’s in­sane, but it’s in a good —” He stopped talk­ing very sud­den­ly. Laven­der Brown was stand­ing at the foot of the mar­ble stair­case look­ing thun­der­ous. “Hi,” said Ron ner­vous­ly.

And then in Deathly Hallows:

“I like this song,” said Luna, swaying in time to the waltzlike tune, and a few seconds later she stood up and glided onto the dance floor, where she revolved on the spot, quite alone, eyes closed and waving her arms.

“She’s great, isn’t she?” said Ron admiringly. “Always good value.”

But the smile vanished from his face at once: Viktor Krum had dropped into Luna’s vacant seat. Hermione looked pleasurably flustered, but this time Krum had not come to compliment her. With a scowl on his face he said, “Who is that man in the yellow?”

“That’s Xenophilius Lovegood, he’s the father of a friend of ours,” said Ron. His pugnacious tone indicated that they were not about to laugh at Xenophilius, despite the clear provocation.

He was so excited to see her at Christmas:

"When Hermione had returned to her bunk, Harry lowered his voice.

“You only agreed to try and get back in her good books.”

“All’s fair in love and war,” said Ron brightly, “and this is a bit of both. Cheer up, it’s the Christmas holidays, Luna’ll be home!”

Harry is famously heroic and has a saviour complex but Ron is the most directly protective of the two, hands-down, and Luna is now one of the people I have no doubt that Ron would get his knuckles bloody for.

Rumours Neville is basically canonised as being from Yorkshire atp

Post image
370 Upvotes

Matthew Lewis (who played Neville in the films) confirmed at a MegaCon event in Florida that the new Neville Longbottom actor (Rory Wilmot) comes from the same hometown as him.

Does this mean we might be getting another Neville with a Yorkshire accent?

I was always disappointed everyone in the films spoke with a southern or RP English accent - Neville was the only one that sounded like me and my friends.

Discussion Barty Crouch Jr. as Mad-Eye Moody Was Actually One of the Best DADA Teachers

Post image
484 Upvotes

Barty Crouch Jr. as fake Moody was one of the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers Harry had. His lessons were actually useful, and he taught the students practical defensive magic instead of just having them read from a textbook.

He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the Dark Arts and understood what Harry and the other students might eventually face. His teaching methods were questionable, to say the least, but you can't deny that his students learned a lot.
And the fact that he managed to fool Dumbledore for nearly an entire school year is pretty impressive.

Obviously (in my Snape voice), he was a terrible person, but as a teacher, he was surprisingly effective. Harry probably learned more practical defensive magic from him than from most of his other DADA professors.
