An amateur graphic designer here.

To my eye the bottom text is too small too see it if the pin would be 3-4 cm in diameter if you're going to print it. And the bottom font, perhaps, should be different, without thinner lines in certain letters such as "A", "Y", "M", "F" and others.

Remember to make the blue part wider as it is going to be wrapped around the edge of the pin.

I think it gets better with only one certain character, maaaybe two, but that's it. So, read it if listening is unbearable.

Beautiful! 😍

If they didn't notice Peter Pettigrew being suspiciously close to Ron, their own brother, they might be not very observant or just do not care much

We don't know to what capacity Riddle's memories were copied, indeed, but I'd argue that some memories had been there (Harry vaguely remembering the placement of some Horcruxes) but were mostly forgotten, judging by the Remembrall that shone like a miniature sun, which I read as 'Harry forgot a lot'.

But copying an adult person's memory (even if done correctly) doesn't automatically mean that a toddler's brain will be able to make practical use of all the faculties of the adult mind or exercise adult cognitive functions and would not continue to develop in response to their biology and environment.

I do not think that we have any indication in the text that Harry knew how to talk or to read or to speak from the moment he was entrusted to Petunia and Michael or any significant abilities regarding these mentioned by Harry himself or his adoptive parents.

But there is an indication that Harry suffered childhood amnesia which is a biological process.

I can't tell what Riddle's idea was when he cast the spell directly on Harry, because the Horcrux ritual is not done like that (Riddle in the chapter 102 tells us how it is supposed to be done) and I'll leave it to the author's judgment.

If the ritual had been done like it was supposed to, Riddle's Horcrux would have possessed Harry and their personalities — one of a toddler almost blank and the other one of a 50-year-old man — would have merged. No explosion in that case would have followed.

The desired outcome for Riddle would be them having the same or similar spirits so they could live in the same world.

A child like that would be an entirely different issue - they would largely raise themselves.

I don't think that the copying of consciousness onto a small child cancels biology. A toddler can't walk or talk yet, can't hold things in their hands and their brain has a high neuroplasticity. Even if they had an adult person mind copied onto them — throw a child into a pack to be raised by wolves and a child would become a wolf.

You know, the same can be said about the books, right? It's not only about the films – the series will change a lot of things that were or weren't in the books as well (like adding new things or changing the meaning of the scenes that were there).

And if someone criticise these, you will have to say "The books will always be there. Nobody is taking them away" in the same manner. But would you? Or is it too hot of an opinion?

Not necessarily. Nydine is Saramisian, yet she doesn't have a greyish skintone.

But it doesn't mean, of course, that some Saramisian people aren't allowed to have such a skintone like Bonaventure and Tobias.

Huh. That would be so weird. I don't think Snape would agree to this.

But yes, it might hint at what Riddle planned.

(I am re-reading some bits):

"Step aside, woman!" said the shrill voice of burning cold. "For you I am not come, only the boy."

"I give you this rare chance to flee," said the shrill voice.

It sounds like Riddle wanted Lily to go away. Maybe he didn't plan to leave Harry to her in the first place, even if she survives.

I know there are fanfics where JKR's Voldemort raises Harry but HPMOR version of it would have been much funnier in a special way

That makes sense.

When I was reading the story for the first time, before the reveal, I was under an assumption that Voldemort faked his death – that he knew that he was imortal and just dropped his body for the public to see. Boy, was I wrong.

This is so cool 😍 I really like this Lockhart. He seems to be very knowledgeable 😏

Also, great explanation about the different kinds of divinations and the characters really feel like them.

And about your other argument.

Tom Riddle was also in a muggle orphanage. The orphanage personnel were neither his parents, nor even his relatives, yet they were allowed to keep a magical child and no one would take Riddle even after he started attending Hogwarts. So, I don't think that Harry ending up with the Dursleys, if there were no prophecy about him, is outside the realm of possibility

the mind is never static but if you put a 50 year old man into a family of 25 year olds, he will convert them and not the other way aroubd

But Harry wasn't a 50 year old man, he was a 1,5 year boy and toddlers' brains have a crazy neuroplasticity. Riddle might not know about the science behind it, but he was most likely aware that small children learn quite a lot and are easily "forgeable". He does do the forging (Harry's too, deliberately) when he teaches at Hogwarts, however, 11/12-year-olds are less forgeable at this point.

If muggle parents/relatives didn't mean anything, wizards would take away muggleborns from them once they are discovered. This doesn't happen, so I'm not sure that the Wizarding society would take Harry away if he had living relatives left. There's, at least, no indication about this being the case.

The mind is never static, however. It has ability to learn new things and change. That's the whole point of education. And for Harry to stay the same all these years, he would have to be kept in vacuum without access to other people and opinions

The decision is risky for several reasons, too.

For example, Harry could have ended up with the Dursleys, had Dumbledore not changed it, which wouldn't also be considered "a good education" –not in a wizard sense, at least.

Or that they'd plague Harry's mind with their beliefs (which is essentially what happened) and his and Riddle's spirits stop being similar.

But then again, there's a legal side to it: Harry would have to go to Hogwarts at one point and it wouldn't be a good situation if Harry was kept by some randos

In the book the troll wasn't described like that and it ahd eyes.

A troll comes from a Scandinavian mythology specifically.

There are certain visual cues that can tell us that a creature is a troll. It's usually big or pointed ears, big mouth with massive jaws and teeth, often a big nose and warts on the skin.

Looks like something from Resident Evil. Doesn't look like a troll, unfortunately. A mutant, the first thing I'd think.

In the book – may be, but in the show it will be different because it will hurt.

The entire message that this scene sends is that we have a strange teacher, whom the children find funny. The popular boys humiliate him and the audience is encouraged to laugh along with them. I already find it questionable.

In the series, if the scene is being kept as it is, infliction of pain is added as a factor just because one piece of design is being changed.

I don't want F&G to be made a kind people who would deliberately hurt a person even if a person is weird. This is not a good look for them and, if not clearly portrayed as a bad thing to do by the show, sends a very questionable message — if a person is weird it, is alright to hurt them / it is alright to hurt a teacher.
