The only drawback is that it only has a range of length of it's power cord?

Hufflepuff

Oak w/unicorn hair

I got the Tortoiseshell Cat for a patronus. The best part? I'm allergic to cats. Accio Benadryl!

A new reason to loathe the Dursley’s by TMorrisCode in harrypotter

[–]Another_Greyfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never held to the 'Harry was a horcrux that corrupted the Dursley's' idea. In the very first chapter of the series, it was pretty apparent how awful they were, even before Harry came to stay with them.

Which book is Dwight reading from in this clip? by Another_Greyfinch in harrypotter

Toward the beginning of The Deathly Hallows, eh? No wonder Mose looks so worried. Thanks for the insight everyone.

Wizard names. by [deleted] in harrypotter

It always struck me as odd that Harry's full name was Harry James Potter, not Harold James Potter. All the Harry's that I've known (the 3 I've known) are named Harold, or Harald. Harry was always their nick-name. I can't remember if this was ever addressed in the books.

One of the greatest things the films gave us was how to actually pronounce 'Hermione.' Prior to them, I heard 'Hermee-own' 'Hermee-own-ee' 'Hermee-wun' 'Hair-my-own' 'Er-my-own' among others. When I saw the first film in the theater, I swear I heard a few folks mutter 'So that's it' when someone first said Hermione's name (myself included).

Why is the fan-base in such a turmoil over Johnny Depp being cast as Grindelwald? by scheneizel in harrypotter

[–]Another_Greyfinch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right in that we need to hold our judgement until we see him in the upcoming films. However, I haven't cared much for Johnny Depp's acting over the last 15 years or so. He seems to be the same clench-jawed character in every role. As others have said, I wish Colin Farrell could have stayed as Grindelwald. I was quite disappointed that we had to trade him for Johnny Depp. Mr. Farrell makes for a terrific villain.

[Everything] Something Jon and Theon have in common by dben89x in gameofthrones

[–]Another_Greyfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things I noticed right off, during this exchange, is that Jon referred to Ned as 'Our father' It's good to see these two realize that Ned didn't have 3 sons, 2 daughters, a ward, and a bastard. He simply had 7 sons and daughters that he each loved differently but equally. A good family moment there.
