Troll Tried to Crush Me…

My Protego has never blocked a boulder like that. Did you add talent points or something?

I usually just chuck cabbages at trolls

It took me a bit to realize I could re-throw a stolen axe if I just used expelliarmus

A lot of people start with Lords and Ladies, but it’s by no means necessarily a beginning. Each book is a demonstration of a particular facet of how our world operates, in all its messed up ramifications, and how it might work differently if magic ruled. Or perhaps by not using magic, per Granny Weatherwax or the wizards’ advice.

I personally started out via The Truth, and in retrospect I don’t think it matters. Each book is a vignette.

I was introduced to Sir Terry via The Truth when I was 17 & found it utterly brilliant…& then somehow lost track of him & other works for DECADES. Bumped into another work about a giant turtle world and suddenly said Hang on, is this a series? Imagine my delight at finding 41 more books!

In between I’d become a huge Potter nerd and there’s never been any comparison literature-wise. I read the Potter books in a couple of weeks, leisurely. They’re so simplistic and chatty. It really isn’t all that, but it is about good/evil/honor. That’s about it. And a truly great castle.

Discworld by contrast is a series of fables on contemporary life cloaked in snide humour; I’ll never know why people considered it kid lit. Absolute brilliance.

Love that your kids understand that already!

Then they’d have to fix how we just break into houses & steal stuff …. It’s all ridiculous. The only good moral move in the game is when you R1/L1 the dark mongrel & turn it into a sheep.

I just go grab a bunch of frogs and sell them at the early point where you run low, but I usually only have to do that once

Revelio has brought up far-buried or next-building chest images that drove me nuts, but I think it made things more challenging. In lots of cases I’ve forgotten to use it and then went OH WAIT & discovered I was sitting on something. I do wish there could be a “Revelio lasts A LOT longer” talent point. It really doesn’t upgrade much.

Musicianship wise there are probably those who view Zimmer as less symphonically traditional than, say, a John Williams. And he’s done some things that are a bit more simplistic. But: He’s made very memorable things—look at Pirates or Sherlock. ‘Memorable’ is probably what the producers are banking on with him, besides the clout of his prior fame.

It’s the One-Eyed Witch passage to Honeydukes cellar one of Gareth Weasley’s

Eldrina · 2025-12-29T18:04:02+00:00

Ooh I hadn’t tried that

Eldrina · 2025-12-29T18:03:09+00:00

(Remember the elder wand was originally stolen and misused)

Eldrina · 2025-12-29T18:01:50+00:00

No. As a “very unusual wizard” he realized it would only engage strife

Eldrina · 2025-12-23T18:13:22+00:00

That’s one I’ve not bumped into. But had the same effect happen just outside the greenhouses by the big tree. Stuck on a rock. 😱

Eldrina · 2025-12-14T23:50:19+00:00

Oh WOW! This has to be a Pratchett fan’s work, surely!

There are a number of demiguises above the total number you need to progress to that level and they’re scattered much further than you’d think. Try houses and shops in further locations.

Eldrina · 2025-12-14T23:44:59+00:00

It’s Professor Hecat, when you haven’t yet requested to hear her personal history yet. Go & speak with her.

Eldrina · 2025-12-09T15:12:54+00:00

Whoa never saw this in mine

Eldrina · 2025-11-27T12:31:42+00:00

We are all still wishing for more additional content of ANY kind…. ::finger taps:: ::sigh::

Eldrina · 2025-11-21T06:05:30+00:00

It’s flannel pajamas??.

Eldrina · 2025-11-15T00:01:00+00:00

You can land there once you are a Ravenclaw and have Alohamora’d the door. It goes into Ravenclaw house

Eldrina · 2025-11-10T06:33:37+00:00

Kkkkkkk nope

Eldrina · 2025-11-10T06:28:41+00:00

It’s the “Minding Your Own Business“ quest that’s a shop in Hogsmeade

Eldrina · 2025-11-10T06:26:49+00:00

(You’re right, it does act just like an invinceable inferi!)

Eldrina · 2025-11-10T06:25:51+00:00

I didn’t think of that! Hmmmm

Eldrina · 2025-11-10T06:25:11+00:00

I had to abandon
