Stop it, people. Ravenclaw's symbol is the eagle, not the raven.

Going by that logic Hufflepuff's symbol should either have been a wolf (or a pig), for fuck's sake.

Just wondering... why do stories keep saying Dumbles is one of the greatest wizards in history? Seriously ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to do research when I'm working on an HP story. Why? Because it's probably not generally a case of JKR having not yet included it somewhere in Snoozefest-sorry, Pottermore-but rather that she never bothered to flesh it out in the first place. (I figure these new chapters take so long to come out, not because the ( Read more... )

Now I know they've gone mental over at Fiction Alley. SCUSA has threads for Vernon/Dolores and Ron/Aragog.

1. I now have a shiny new Kindle Paperwhite to replace the Kindle Keyboard I hosed, along with a proper cover for this new one (in Ink Blue).  I pray I have more luck this time not dropping the darn thing, because it's really cute, and it's much easier to read books I've purchased (as opposed to fanfiction stories) on an actual Kindle as opposed to ( Read more... )

Is it my imagination or are the chapters in Pottermore becoming even more boring than before?  How hard are they working to make this "experience" as exciting and informative as Binns's class?

You know, I have to wonder about this.  Since the "cover" option was made available at FFN I must wonder about how many of these people using someone else's artwork ever bother to credit the artist ( Read more... )

Granted, I can't get the damn article to load, but anything yammering on about Pottermore and whether or not it can save the fandom or not is worth a good laugh.  I mean really... Pottermore is an utter snoozefest.  The only reason to go is to compile more (allegedly canon) information about certain characters/families ( Read more... )

The memory charm is in Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2?  What?

On a side note, Pottermore is as boring as ever, though some interesting information on the Malfoy family.  Really should have been a damn MMO.

There is something seriously wrong when, while browsing HP fics at FFN with only Harry selected, I see a bajillion Harry P. & OC popping up.

First thought?  I know many of you share the same with me.  Self-insert comes to mind.  Because really, we all know that there aren't any barely sketched-in canon characters who could be used.  Of course not ( Read more... )
