In the years following the war the Ministry of Magic struggled to regain the public's trust whilst people struggled to find peace of mind in the uncertainty of Voldemort's disappearance. In 1985 letters start appearing with a very concerning or very hopeful kind of message, depending on your point of view and personal beliefs. They are so anti-establishment, in parts so truthful, and thus potentially dangerous that the Ministry controlled Daily Prophet won't publish them or any talk about them on the Readers' Column.

The letters lay out a vision of future where the Ministry no longer exists and most wizardkind have lost their magical powers, leaving only a select few to rule and carry on the magical bloodlines. A world where muggle-borns and squibs are all treated the same as half-bloods and purebloods. A world where magic is kept secret from muggles but is not thought of as something that makes one superior, and where people like Grindelwald and Voldemort can never rise again.

The authors call themselves the Children of Merlin. They are a secret society seeking total revolution, to rebuild the world in their image of true equality. They are recruiting new members from like-minded people, both muggle and wizardkind. They say they will not go to war over this but claim they have a nearly perfected peaceful weapon to make it happen, to take magic away from those they deem unworthy.

Will your character be drawn to join them from genuine agreement or fear? Or will they judge their vision or their method of achieving it as too radical for support and try to fight it instead? Or will they try to keep calm and living their lives, putting their faith in the Ministry after it finally takes action when a threat is made against Hogwarts and it seems to have been for real.

This is a character driven rpg where we explore the 1980s era of relative peace up to Voldemort's reappearance, and not everything has to be about or revolve around the main plot. No wizardkind person can completely ignore what's going on but your character can be as much or as little involved in the plot as you want and still have plenty to do.

By the end of the decade the revolution has been prevented, but what part did your character play in it---if any? Do they have regrets? Will they wish it had turned out differently when in the summer of 1992 rumours spread that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has resurfaced?

I will miss Richard Griffiths very greatly. He was a fantastic actor and a great loss. He did an awesome job bringing Vernon Dursley to life the way he did.

Sometimes his true warmth peeked through, as in that one neat scene in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone where he is talking about Sundays being a ‘fine day’ and asks why that is; Harry Melling’s Dudley shrugs his shoulders. Daniel’s Harry asks him if the reason was because there was no post on Sundays, and Richard momentarily dropped the Vernon persona and beamed warmly at him, replying with “Right you are, Harry”...

I am not biased in this I love them both.
Its going to be hard to compare the two greatest books and movie series ever made. Although I will try anyway!
MOVIES
1. Grossing- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made 1.328 Billion Dollars. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King made 1.119 Billion Dollars. Potter wins this round!
2. Scenes- Harry Potter had really great scenes. Such as the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the OotP or the Battle of Hogwarts in the DH. LotR also has great scenes such as the battle of Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields, and when Frodo throws in the ring. I think...

I was reading DH again, and I came across something rather odd. This something is the image of Grindelwald stealing the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch. That scene set my mind whirring. I just had to write down whaat was going on inside my mind. Please keep in mind that this is a major DH spoiler, as well as very convoluted. If you find yourself very confused after reading this, put down this article and take a nap. It'll make more sense when you wake up.
Now, on to the first Wild and Crazy Theory.

Gregorovitch had the Elder Wand, as he was trying to duplicate it for his customers, but it was later...

The Sorting had just ended, and I spotted Rose making her way across the Great Hall to the Slytherin table. "Move over, Albus, make room!" she ordered upon arrival. She squeezed in between Albus and myself, as many people stared.Rose being a Gryffindor, many were shocked that she would sit at our table. "So, how are your new students? That one girl we got, Lacey I think, is really smart. But she's kinda mean." Rose ranted. She always had something to say, and I had no idea how she managed to keep quiet in class. I informed her that at least 3 of the kids we had got were going to...

Butter "Beer" recipe from Harry Potter I made it myself. Its sorta like hot chocolate but without chocolate. You take 1 or if for two people 2 cups of milk put it on the stove keep it from boiling. You just want it hot but you dont want it to really boil. Ok add a cup of butterscotch schnapps. Then a splash of vanilla extract. A half of cup of sugar. Then a couple of spoon fulls of vanilla flavor coffee creamer. add a little yellow food coloring. And a tsp of butter. Then top with WHipped cream!!

He stood near the door, not with the usual pig-headed arrogance he usually possessed but with a sort of quiet confidence, not quite making eye contact but refusing to look at the ground. By this time the rest of the class was sat down, it was the smallest class, only having fifteen students so naturally it was...

First of all, let me point out that it is by no means an attempt to justify or excuse Dark Lord’s actions, merely an attempt to understand them and his motives. It is also strongly influenced by existentialism and my slightly fatalistic mood.

Following Sartre’s “Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices” it’s easy to say that the Dark Lord “ made all the wrong choices" i.e. he could have been a Minister for Magic, an ingenious inventor or a celebrity, but chose, and therefor became, the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time. True, it is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and perhaps...

In the beginning

The starting point for each of the house crests was the Hogwarts crest, which first appeared on the title pages of the Harry Potter books, and represents all four Hogwarts houses. This original artwork and J.K. Rowling’s descriptions of the houses were used to inspire four unique house emblems for Pottermore.


The process

The artists started by talking about the best way to include the natural elements of fire, earth, water and air into each house; what the best positions and expressions for the animals would be; and the most effective way to include the house colours in the...

The last track of the CD ended. I sat straight up before I started to put away all my things as quick as I possibly could. I had been sitting there far too long. I had forgotten about the time and now I was late for dinner. I carefully closed the wardrobe before I rushed out of my room and down the stairs. Though midway down I stopped dead, and ran upwards again. I had to change clothes. Into my room again. Open the wardrobe and pull out a clean shirt, clean trousers and clean robes. I pulled off my old clothes and hurriedly put on the new ones. I pulled on my robes as I ran down the stairs...

Which spell should I cast?
Which spell should I cast?
So I got boeard just a while ago and I saw a picture of Rebbecca so I got this oh so gienus idea it formulated quite like this; "Hay Zanny since you have nothing better to do with your life at the moment why dont you remake Friday HP style and share it with your friends on fanpop?" "Ok good idea Zanny I'll start right away!" Lol my lyrics are probably just as bad as the real version and they're a bit unorginized but I did my best. :P Ok here goes my dignaty and possibly some of your faith in humanity!

I throw my wand up in the air sometimes
saying,"Ah-oh, my name is Draco!"

I wanna celebrate and kill Dumbledore
saying "Ah-oh,old man, just let go."

We gonna rock the school
We gonna go all night
We gonna light professors up
like they're dynamite!

Cause I dueled you once,
Now I dueled you twice

We gonna light them up
like they're dynamite.

We gotta move, move, move, move
Get out the way of me and my crew, crew, crew, crew,
Sanpe, Bellatrix and Fenrir too, too, too, too,
It was on and on and on,
Now Albus is gone and gone and gone, yeah!

All quotes about Rupert Grint


“I have to say, after experiencing so many spoiled young Hollywood stars, it was a pleasure meeting someone so humble, polite, and down-to-Earth.”

-Will Keck

(USA Today, July 2007)

HP Casting Department:

“There is a warmth about Rupert, which is absolutely part of the character of Ron. Ron is kind and thoughtful and slightly insecure, and has a generousness of spirit that I also see in Rupert. There are no short cuts with children. You have to see as many as possible until you find the one who has the spark you’re looking for. I’ll go anywhere – primary...

By: Marana Island

Two weeks ago a young witch and wizard named Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy went missing. Ministry will not give out any information on the whereabouts, and/or any information on whether foul play was involved, but rumors say that Malfoy and Granger walked out the Barnacle Bar at 1:37 A.M. on June 5. Malfoy looked beat and Granger was hanging onto him to make sure he didn’t fall. Mr. Lucius Malfoy gave us a statement yesterday....

SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, BUT HERE IT IS CHAPTER 10. ENJOY

Chapter 10: Quidditch Practice Can Ruin Friendships

I couldn't help notice that Harry was anxious in class all day.I guess I would be too,I mean,after that flying lesson when we were finally able to ride, I felt so free and relaxed.I would love to play Quidditch,especially with the best broom out there,but maybe next year or something like that.
After class we raced into Harry and Ron's room to open the package.
Whoa.I may not have see alot of broomsticks but that shit looked hot!He is SO lucky to be on the team.I told him how I would...

No offense intented to anyone, and I love you J.K. Rowling and I love you to bits for giving us Barty Jr.'s character.

But I'm not too keen on finding out more about Jo's visions on Wormtail if she even has any. She seemed to totally hate him from the beginning to the very end. To have him as a plot device and didn't seem to care about him as a character at all.

She didn't give him any dignity or spine - (I recall only one moment wherein he shows bravery and good about himself; in order to pay back his life debt to Harry from the book three, in the book four he suggests to Voldemort that perhaps...

I don't know what will happen [for this story]later.
I started reading HP this year
I don't know why you're bothering with this
The cake is a lie!
It annoys me how when you write something, it always looks so long, but when you submit it, it comes out tiny.
Draco was supposed to- wait, wrong story

Book 2 Mistakes
NOTE: Many of these book mistakes were corrected in later versions, so the mistake may not appear in your HP book.

* On page 4, the day of Harry's birthday, Rowling says, "and then, exactly a year ago, Hogwarts had written to Harry..." but they had actually written before Harry's eleventh birthday. He'd been receiving them before, he just never had the chance to read one. So technically he had been written to before his eleventh birthday. Thanks, Kelsey!

* On page 95, it states that Nearly Headless Nick "took several deep breaths, and then said, in a far calmer tone, 'So what's...

BELLATRIX
Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;
Then to your offices and let me rest.

The fairies sing:
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our queen.
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our...
