We've talked a lot about where the curse of unicorn blood comes from, but just what exactly is the curse?! That's what this Quibble seeks to find out!
I'm back with more of my thoughts and questions that I had while re-reading the Harry Potter books. This time from Chapters 1 & 2 of Chamber of Secrets.
I pair up characters with magical creatures that are like them.
In which I try to explain my views on prejudice in the Wizarding world, and connect it to certain areas of the muggle world as well. The category is Fantastic Beats and Where to...
This is an essay I wrote for school comparing and contrasting the lives of Harry and Voldemort. It starts with their childhoods and continues until the end of the books.
Does anyone else notice threw out the series, Halloween is when almost every important moment happens in the books? First, Nearly Headless Nick was 'beheaded'. Second, the Potters where killed. Third, the troll. Fourth, we find out that the chamber was opened. Fifth, Sirius tries to break into the tower. Sixth, Harry's name comes out of the goblet.
We keep saying that Ginny is powerful, could that be because she is the SEVENTH Weasley child, and the only girl in the Weasley clan in SEVEN generations? I emphasise the seven because we are told that seven is the most powerful magical number.
Dean is really a half-blood not a muggleborn. True, he was raised as a muggle, but his father was a wizard who left to protect Dean and his mother, and was latter killed by death eaters.
Muggle Quidditch, at least the matches I have seen, did not follow all of the rules mentioned in 'Quidditch Through the Ages" like only the chaser with the quaffle is allowed ear the hoops.
Out of the whole school, is Hermione the only one who noticed that someone must have been jinxing his broom? There are teachers and students of all ages, and only a first year thinks to look?
I agree that Fred and George would have thrown snowballs at him, had they known.
Hagrid would have to brave to throw a "Support Harry Potter Party".
If chess pieces can talk, do they talk when they are packed up in your trunk? If they can only talk about a chess game, what would they talk about in your trunk? Would the pieces battle each other?
The cloak is passed down father to son, and after a while Harry comes to think of Dumbledore as a father-figure. Could This be foreshadowing Harry's future relationship with Dumbledore?
I think that there was security charms around the room and that is how he knew. Speaking of the room, I heard a rumer, based off of Pottermore, was this in the Room of Requirement? We don't know what floor he is on, only that he is a few stories about the kitchens. We do know that he was looking for a place to hide, and possibly missing his parents, so could this have called the room to him?
I think that if one year, Ron did not get a maroon sweater, he would be really upset, like how he always complained about Scabbers, but he was really upset when he thought Scabbers was dead.
