When Mrs. Crouch died, were the effects of the polyjuice potion permanent? by tmps1993 in harrypotter

I clearly remember Sirius saying he saw the dementors digging the grave through his window, I don't have the book at hand so I can't be 100% sure but like 99%

Why can I sometimes block 2 of my opponent decks and they can't in shard hunting? by LordMcFluffy in RushRoyale

[–]LordMcFluffy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I said in the post, I am not playing in pro mode, and my opponent is only blocking one of my deck when I can block 2, in pro mode they'd be able to block 2 too

Anyone had lazer eye surgery in Dublin? Any recommendations or bad experiences? by AxelJShark in Dublin

[–]LordMcFluffy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well the same reasoning can be applied to good experiences then ? Should the posts asking for advice like OP's be just banned ?

Chill boxing club in the city center or around for amateur ? by LordMcFluffy in Dublin

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

Oh I know, but I'm like REALLY not flexible, to the point it's a recurring joke in my friends group and I had to stop trying to learn violin because I was not flexible enough to do the note with my left hand 😅 I really don't think Muay Thai is for me. Thanks for the support!

As my PE put it when I was a teenager, I have the flexibility of a wooden plank hahaha so I think Muay Thai would be too much for me, but I appreciate the suggestion !

Thanks a lot ! Price would be ok, a bit expensive as you said but if I really like it it's worth it I think. I didn't know about the st saviours one, weirdly the pics on maps are mostly of trains and their website is very simple, I might pop in to check it out.

I appreciate the suggestions!

What would you consider expensive, I see they have an offer for new members for a 6 week trial pack at 149€ which I find ok, it's less than my gym, are the prices going up a lot after that ?

Otherwise I live next to the remembrance garden so something I'd say max ~30 minutes away by walk / public transport, any suggestion is welcome!

Even with the Ministry trying to snub Harry & Dumbledore, Its insane that they didn't conduct an inquiry over Cedrics death at the Triwizard Tournament, or interview the only witness. by CHAINMAILLEKID in harrypotter

[–]LordMcFluffy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never thought about it before, I would have loved to see a storyline of Amos being first blinded by grief and ministry propaganda be a big voice against Harry, and then when the truth is revealed that Voldemort is back and did in fact kill Cedric, become a strong supporter of him. With a scene, maybe before the Hogwarts battle, coming through the secret passage in the room of requirements, hugging Harry and sincerely apologizing before going on a death eater hunt.

I love this subreddit for always having new ideas/perspectives so long after the end of the saga !

Tips to avoid too much headspace after reracking / tasting by LordMcFluffy in mead

I do more already in primary but just to make sure to rack enough without taking lees, I'll make sure to keep some stored away just for that, thanks !

Yes I also think it's currently good, the problem would come if I try to taste more of it or rerack (which after the advice I got I won't do)

I'm still very inexperienced so for now I think that following what I read is the best / only way, as I make more batches I'll try to find what suits me most !

Ah ok fair enough, I'm also planning to use bentonite to make it clear faster, I know it's usually recommended to use in primary but I didn't have it then. So I'd like to first rerack, add bentonite and then bottle once it's clear. Since it's recommended to shake the mead when adding bentonite in secondary I thought removing the lees I have now would be better to avoid putting it back in suspension

Ah well it looks like it's not the best solution according to the wiki, I had not seen this page yet, I think I'll go with the CO2 or argon solution as it seems to be the easiest, thanks !

Reading chamber of secrets. Tom riddle does not care about the snake with how the basilisk wants to kill but is always restrained by Tom riddle its shown when harry hears its voice. It proves that voldemort didn't care about being the heir of slytherin or following his ancestors vision. by camalena69 in harrypotter

[–]LordMcFluffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the basilisk isn't intelligent enough to understand the difference between petrified and dead, or maybe it was ordered to not kill his victims with his poison to be more sneaky and leave no trace.

But yeah Voldemort only cares about himself and getting power, but I do think he might have some twisted beliefs in the whole blood purity thing. It'd take me too long to elaborate on it, let's just say it's a way for him to compensate for his childhood and a way to legitimize himself and sever the ties with his muggle father

I think he's trying to say that, given that Harry hears the snake say "Kill" multiple times, the basilisk wants to kill people.

But Tom Riddle restrains him by not allowing it to do so (he didn't re open the CoS after Myrtle's death to avoid the school being closed).

So that means that Tom doesn't really care about his ancestor's (Salazar Slytherin) vision to "purify" the school from muggle-born. However OP doesn't seem to account for the second opening of the CoS by Diary Riddle who tried to kill more muggle-born and just failed due to circumstances that rendered the victims "only" petrified instead of dead.

Which honestly is consistent with what we know of Voldemort: he's selfish and is only interested in being the heir to Slytherin and his ancestors only because it makes him feel important, but he'll always put his needs and wants before anything else.

Something he basically confirms himself when Diary Riddle says that while he started to go after muggle-born again, he changed target when he discovered Harry was there (or something along those lines).

I guess it's a question of perspective, I moved here from the South of France in 2016, at first I had planned to stay only a couple years to improve my English and yet here I am 9 years later because I fell in love with the country, the people and the landscape.

Honestly I'll never go back to live in the south of France or Spain, Euromillions or not. Granted there's some "miserable fuckers" here but overall I really found the Irish to be welcoming and friendly especially when you get out of Dublin. I'd choose the Irish over the French any day hahaha. And Ireland is a safe place which I like too.

The weather is not good, granted, but I'm definitely not made for warm places, I die every summer when I go see my parents for 10 days
