I really hope we'll eventually get new Potter-movies focusing on the kids. And the original cast playing their old characters but now as parents of course. New books, proper new books, is the dream but sadly I don't think we'll ever get those. Another dream is a Netflixseries about the generation before Harry, the marauders and their time in the school.

I've been re-reading these books recently, and I have to vent..I hate Steve Kloves. I always have, he's a shit screen writer, but I'm on Chamber of Secrets now and I completely forgot it was Ron who explained what a Mudblood was to Harry and Hermione, and in the movie Hermione explained it herself. Why did Kloves give so many of Ron's great lines to Hermione?! It's bad enough "If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us too" went to her in Azkaban. it makes a lot more sense that the only one of them not raised by muggles would know what it meant. would racial slurs really come up in hermione's academic research? probably? History is part of academia and a very big and a very recent part of history involved a lot of anti-muggleborn sentiment. Hermione being clueless about the meaning of the term is always something I raise an eyebrow at when I'm reading CoS. Anyway, in other news I finally gave in and read the synopsis for the Cursed Child and I want to vomit.

Gods, I remember whe Depp use to be cool. Now he's just gross. Perhaps if he plays yet another character hidden under layers of makeup and custome we can ignore him. At least Eddie is the lead.

It gets so much worse in the later films as well - is it the 6th one where Harry and Hermione talk on a balcony and Ron's sitting at the back, not saying a word, almost as if he's not their friend, just happened to sit there. So much wrong for Ron's characters in the books

@kairos , have you seen this? You'll probably like it, it's really interesting and hilarious. Coldmirror is still the funniest German YouTuber.

OMG! I forgot to tell you guys.
So, I've been a Harry Potter fans since 1999 and I've always thought of myself as a member of Gryffindor. When Pottermore first came out that's the House I was sorted to. However, although I still love HP my interest dwindled after the last book. A week ago I decided to return to Pottermore, because of a conversation I'd had with a friend. They had revamped the site and I had to get sorted once again. Well, aparentsly im no longer a Gryffindor, now I am a Slytherin.
This was very shocking and after my initial dispair I'm learning to embrace my new ahoise. Although, I will always hate the colors cause I don't like green.

Slytherin is an awesome house to belong to! I'm a Ravenclaw but I'm very close to being Slytherin. I think Jo's biggest mistake with the books was isolating Slytherin as the house where all the bad wizards come from, and also most of Harry's adversaries.

I think Jo's biggest mistake with the books was isolating Slytherin as the house where all the bad wizards come from, and also most of Harry's adversaries. I'm happy with being sorted into Slytherin but I wouldn't want to be sorted that way with the book characters tbh. The founder of the house was obsessed with blood purity to the point of leaving a secret chamber with a giant snake so his heir(s) could murder all the muggleborn students and even the kinda sympathetic characters like late stage Malfoy and Snape are magical racists. (And my feelings on Snape are pretty complicated, I couldn't really call him a fave.) For all that people's choices defining them is supposed to be a theme of the books the Slytherins are generally defined by a propensity toward dark magic/Death Eaterism/other pureblood mania/just plain assholes. We have asshole Gryffs and Hufflepuffs in the books but no Slytherin who stands out not just for being a redeemed Death Eater but for not wanting anything to do with that shit in the first place. While Pettigrew proves it's not true that there's not a witch or wizard who went bad that didn't come from Slytherin, JKR never shows that Slytherins aren't worse than the other houses in general. Having a couple Redeemed Villains in your Villain House doesn't negate it being Villain House, it just means some of them can overcome being on Team Racism to be capable of heroism too. So I guess that's another problem I have with the epilogue and Harry's infamous talk with Albus fucking Severus, that I don't think Snape's bravery redeems Slytherin or mitigates the reasons 11yo Harry didn't want to be in Slytherin. Anyway, the actual qualities associated with Slytherin in the Sorting Hat song and the quizzes are good, but racism, bullying and magical genocide are pretty bad and should be generally avoided.

I was at a pub quiz last night and one of the questions was 'Who received the love potion laced chocolates from Romilda Vayne in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?'
The 'official' answer was Ron and needless to say they got an essay from my team about how the chocolates were actually received by Harry and most importantly THIS HAPPENED IN THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE NOT THE GOBLET OF FIRE YOU FOOL.
