Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'
2. Laugh at him.
3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'
4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.
5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.
6. Smile during Death-Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows.
7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.
8. Dance the Funky Chicken.
9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.

Dolores Umbridge: the horrible woman who is the most cruel and hated character in the Harry Potter series. Here are 100 reasons as to why I hate Dolores Umbridge.


1) She believes in extremely harsh, severe, and cruel punishments.

2)Too much pink.

3) She's just doesn't make sense. Like, how she tells everyone to raise their hands if they want to speak, but then she ignores them.

4) She's racist. Well, she's technically "half-breed-ist", because she thinks wizards and witches are better than centaurs, werewolves, goblins, elves, etc. I hate that, because without the help of a lot of half breeds,...

So I've been thinking about this a lot lately...I discussed this with a friend a few months ago. We were talking about how many Christian groups (as you well know) have condemned HP as anti-Christian. In fact, I believe that the Harry Potter story is actually a symbolization of the Christian religion.
Note: This is entirely my opinion and is not meant as "Christian propaganda" or to offend anyone in the slightest. It is merely my opinion! :)

Harry Potter is Jesus. Whaaaaat?!
1) Both HP and Jesus were born into humble beginnings.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a tiny town literally in the middle...

Here's a comparison and contrast essay I wrote for school - keep in mind my English teacher has never read Harry Potter, so I had to explain stuff.

When comparing a book and a film, or something similar, the first thing one thinks about is obviously the plot. And in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, at first glance, you'll find it's rather similar in both the book and the film. Harry, Ron and Hermione, the main trio, go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year. They're shocked when they find out that ex-Potions Master Severus Snape has been named Defence Against...

This article is reviewing his devotion as a Death Eater, his possible part in the Longbottom torture, his childhood, his father's love for him - and some other things - always basing on what we can read from the Goblet of Fire book. Weighting on my own interpretation, of course.

I know the vast majority of people seem to have taken a liking of the first impression the book gives on the father-son relationship, especially by Junior's own words, so I respect that view - however those are only his beliefs and not necessarely the truth and I personally like to dig deeper into the possibilities....

Disclaimers: If I owned Harry Potter, would I be writing this stupid list?
I don’t even know why anyone would want to own Twilight.


1. When he’s fast asleep, sound a trumpet right next to his ear.

2. Sing “The Song That Never Ends.”

3. At five-thirty in the morning, wake him up, ‘Good morning, dear Lord Snake-face!’

4. Constantly compare him to Darth Vader.

5. Let loose 3,846,729,462 mice in his bedchamber.

6. Coat every corner of his headquarters in butter/cheese.

7. Introduce him to Bella/Voldy pairings.

8. Throw water over him. If my calculations are correct, he’d melt!

9. Show...

Harry James Potter:

- Harry became an Auror at age 17 without taking his N.E.W.T's
- In 2007 he became the head of the Auror Office.
- He was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card for his accomplishments.
- He made sure that Severus Snape's portrait was hung in the Headmaster's office wtih the other Headmasters' and Headmistress' portraits.
- After parting with his muggle family he was on 'Christmas Card' terms with them and the occasionally visited.
- The book version of Harry has green eyes, but the move version has blue eyes due to the fat that Daniel Radcliffe's eyes ar to sensitive for contact lenses....

- It isn't illegal to do this, since the publisher posted it up on the internet first, just in hard to read handwriting.

OK, So this is J.K Rowling's 2 Page StoryCard.
Read it first, and the read my thoughts about it.
Then, you can post your's in the comments!!

The speeding motorcycle took the sharp corner so fast in the darkness that both policemen in the pursuing car shouted,"Whoa!" Sergeant Fisher slammed his large foot on the brake, thinking that the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels; however, the motorbike made the turn without unseating either of...

There have been a lot of Harry Potter theories, ranging from the ridiculous to the strange to the horrifying.

I have composed a list here.

Please comment any other theories you know of that I've missed. :)

Also: there are major spoilers in some of these. Next to each one, if there is a spoiler, I will write the book that it spoils, so if you haven't read that one: skip that theory.

1. The Dursley Family is Justified (Spoils Deathly Hallows)

This is one of my favorites, by the way. Now, we all know that Horcruxes often corrupt people (the medallion, Riddle's diary) and Harry is, as it was revealed...

So Rowling never really discussed why Bellatrix is so obsessed with Voldemort. And I constantly ponder upon how anyone could find that no-nosed snake-man-boy attractive in any way. With that said I wanted to post a few of my theories as well as some of the interesting ones I've seen across the net. Once again, as stated, these are just theories and speculations. No more, no less.

First and foremost I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that she loves him or at least started to love him based on the fact that they share similar ideologies. Both loved the idea of pure-blood supremacy. A lot of...

5. Hermione Granger

Obviously the most mature of the three of the five main characters. I feel that every trio needs the brains, which I believe Hermione has successfully provided for them. Even though I hated her at the beginning of the series, she grew as the series grew pushing her into my top five.

4. Ron Weasley-

Same with Hermione, even though I did like him since the beginning I felt he grew with the series. I did get a little annoyed at his continuously being envious of Harry and his own brothers, I guess all characters have their flaws. I love Ron!

3. Lord Voldemort-

Or He Who Should Not...

Thanks to zanhar1 for the idea. it was brilliant xD

*Also like to point out, this is like a crack!fic so non of the characters will act like they usally do*

It took a lot of yelling and arguing, but Bellatix finally did it. She finally got Voldemort to go to the beach with her.
Once they got to the beach they both hissed at the sunlight. They weren't too fond of it since they preferred the dark, If you couldn't tell from their pasty pale skin.
Bellatrix had pick out a nice swimsuit to show off for the lord, since she really wanted him to like her. Voldemort on the other hand, was covered head...

I found an interesting short essay from HP Lexicon and it made me think about it even deeper than it goes.

First off; please don't get me wrong.
I love Dumbledore's character, I love Lockhart's character, I love Hogwarts, and I love, love, love the books and the HP universe. I'm just wondering and interested in what, if anything, is behind all this I'm about to discuss.
That if Rowling possibly actually planned this somehow and for some reason many parents in that universe are willing to over-look huge problems and risk their children's lives because of someone's status and previous reputation...OR...

Witch Weekly in 1995. The piece, written by Rita Skeeter, claimed that Hermione Granger was Harry Potter's girlfriend and that she was toying him around by seeking the affections of Viktor Krum, who himself was very much smitten with her. As with much of Skeeter's writing, though the essence of the article was false, there was smidgen of truth that lent the article an air of believability to those who did not know better. While Harry was not Hermione's boyfriend, the two had in fact been close friends since early in their first year at Hogwarts. Additionally, Hermione had danced with Krum at...

After the sorting had finish, and McGonagall took the hat away, Ron and Harry grinned at each other. "Food, finally we get to eat." Ron grumbled. "That took way too long."

Hermione kicked him for what seemed like the millionth time today. "Ron! You know the sorting's more important!" She scolded him.

"Nope it's not even close. I'm starving." Ron shot back.

The two contiuned to argue about it. "Do they fight a lot?" I askde Harry.

Harry shrugged. "Understatement." He told me. "It's like World War III when they do."

Ron and Hermione reminded me of Lisa and Jack, two of my muggle friends back at...

Hey guys! Well, this is my first time that I actually write something and "publish" it, so it's not going to be brilliant. But I thought it was worth a try.
Hope you enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------
Reasons to why I enjoy and am a fan of Harry Potter:

-The idea. Harry’s a boy that discovers he is a wizard and goes to a school called Hogwarts and meets friends Ron and Hermione. It's an idea that is not commonly thought of.
-Being able to read about and live in a world full of magic and mythological creatures. We can never experience that in real life, so it is...

Lily's POV

Rose, Aimee and Lizzie stood in the doorway. In the back of my mind, I was thinking stuff like Uh-oh. But my expression remained blank. I stared at Rose intently, trying to get her attention. Finally, she noticed me. I mouthed the words 'We're being interrogated!' Rose nodded and walked over to us.

''Harry, we need to talk.''

Rose's POV

I think I surprised everyone when I called my uncle by his first name - I really only called him Harry in my head, not in public. But yesterday I didn't really care, I was too pissed off to do anything...
