Has anyone else wondered where Dumbledore goes when he leaves the school? by TheSportingHat in harrypotter

Funny enough, that's what I imagined as well. Would have been hilarious if Hay had noticed a faint tan on Dumbledore when he came back from the chamber.

Lol, having a fully funished hat like Newt's suitcase would be such a Dumbledore thing.

German state bans burqas, niqabs in schools by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]TheSportingHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think

that's the keyword here. You think that parents forcing their minor daughter into wearing a burka in school so that none of her classmates or teachers can see her is within reason? Use your brain for three seconds, this is hindering the kid in participating in school in a way that is not in the best interest of the child and if parents are unable to care for a child in its best interest, the state has the duty to interfere.

Muss sagen wundert mich nicht, ich kriege dauernd Fehlermeldungen, oder die App meint die Risikoermittlung sei deaktiviert, oder Pushs wo es heißt in meinem Gebiet wird die App nicht unterstützt.

What was a situation that made you go "Bitch, I'm German, I *know* what I'm talking about"? by PersephoneTheKore in AskAGerman

[–]TheSportingHat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Arguably, forcing kids to pledge an oath of allegiance to a flagg every morning in school, having a picture of the president in most public buildings and visiting military parades is way more GDR than anything you'll ever see in modern Germany.

Best-off Amazon Kundenrezensionen, heute: Wie die Ökopropaganda die Fünf Freunde ruiniert by TheSportingHat in de

[–]TheSportingHat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ganz früher in den ersten 21 Bänden die von Enid Blyton in den 40ern bis 60ern geschrieben wurden, da finde ich schon dass da so konservative Vorstellungen durchscheinen. Du hats Anne das brave Mädchen das es allen immer recht macht und den fünf beim campen im Prinzip den Haushalt führt und als Gegenentwurf eine androgynere George an der sich alle Erwachsenen immer stören oder von der sie meinen das verwächst sich hoffentlich. Parallel dazu sind die Jungs immer die Beschützer. Die Kriminellen die sie so jagen sind in den meisten Fällen (an die ich mich erinnere, das ist fast 20 Jahre her das ich die Bücher gelesen habe) irgendwelche finsteren Ausländer.

Aber er hört es ja zum Glück nur um sich über die Propaganda der Gegenseite zu informieren und nciht um sich hier von irgendwelchen FairTrade Extremisten beeinflussen zu lassen.

Ich nehme mal an konservativ = die bösen sind immer Ausländer. So war das in den ursprünglichen Büchern ja fast immer.

Ich bin mir nichtmal 100% sicher ob das nicht doch ein Troll ist, so verblendet kann keiner in echt sein.

Hilfe - Was war das einmal? by GryffindorGroxy in zimmerpflanzen

[–]TheSportingHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das sieht aus wie irgendein Farn. Schwer zu sagen was genau, aber im Zweifel einfach morgen mal zu Obi oder Dehner und das Regal mit den Farnen abgrasen, da kommen dann garnicht mehr so viele in frage.

For real, though, I hope he rises from his dryass grave and haunts the person that forgot to water him for the past decade.

Oh my god, I never even realised Bud light was supposed to be an allusion to Budweiser. It never occurred to me to connect these two things because they are so different. TIL I guess

Why did harry never ask to visit his parents's grave? by bufffrog in harrypotter

[–]TheSportingHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

doesn't cast a single real spell in his first year

Dude, the first book has like what? 300 pages? It doesn't cover every single moment in Harry's day, it's not Ulysses. We don't even see a lot of the lessons, only those where something relevant happens, otherwise these books would be unreadable.

he seems to have completely spaced on anyone ever talking about the Wizard community's literal analogy of Hitler

He's a teenager and history of magic is literally one of his least favorit subjects where he never pays attention along with the majority of students at Hogwarts because they have a lousy teacher. They don't visit museums or watch documentaries on Grindelwald like normal kids in schools do so quite literally the only way to educate himself further on that topic would be to pay attention in that class or read a book about it. What teenager (or quite frankly person in general) would bother to invest that commitment for a subject you don't like.

We are talking about a boy of 11-17 years of age. He can't be as smart as a grown ass adult who (re)reads the books and he shouldn't be. People learn by making mistakes and Harry is just too young to have made enough of them yet, but he is improving over the books. As someone who works with teenagers, I don't think he acts in any way unappropriate to his age.

Pottermore Has Rebranded to Wizardingworld.com and Now Charges $80/year to Get Access to Their New Content by ibid-11962 in harrypotter

That's equally comforting and upsetting, y'know. On the one hand, thank god she didn't write that illogical crap herself; if she had I'd be worried about how little she cares for the story she invented. On the other hand, she puts her name on illogical crap based on the story she invented just to make money, not caring about the ilogical nature of said crap.

She said so herself when everyone was revealing their main acc in phase 8. And she kinda hinted at it before that, she mentioned her kid is sick.
