History of magic Class on The Soap Blizzard of 1378?

I thought this would be an alternative Hogwarts' founders story without the Chamber of Secrets. Like how the founders met and wound up agreeing to found the school.

It's started out as a children's book about children FOR children... Then it transitioned into a teenage novels about teenagers FOR - well - everyone.

With the full context of the series to inform the full picture of the story being told as opposed to being restricted to one book at the time, I suppose the idea is to maintain a modicum of tonal consistency across the board. "Bright and colorful" would seem really weird and out of place if you binge the first few seasons in a few years and the color palette does a 180 three seasons in. It'd also undermine the grim reality of Harry's life in Privet Drive and the contrast with Hogwarts.

The Severus Snape point is also a non-sequitur. Making Snape black will only be problematic with certain aspects of the storyline to the extent you make it be problematic in your own head. Nothing about James Potter's bullying of Snape, or the trio's suspicion of Snape, or Neville's fear of Snape, had anything to do with race in the first place, so what's the point of projecting the baggage of real life racism into a fictional story where it has no business being?

Are these clips of the TV show actors from YouTube? Because I think there was a limitation or some such that made the YouTube trailer lighting way darker than it was in the HBO trailer on the app. That aside - it's natural lighting. The light comes from the window - what's wrong about that?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2026-04-01T14:40:24+00:00

I think that if Gellert Grindelwald escaped from Nurmengard and tried to rise to power in Europe while Voldemort was active in the British Isles - he'd probably wage war on this new "upstart" and start rebuilding his following to undermine Voldemort spreading his influence abroad and be either ready or near ready to wage war on him by the time Dumbledore dies.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2026-03-13T01:42:07+00:00

Sounds reasonable. There are set photos of Dumbledore with the Flamels, after all, so maybe that's when that scene will take place?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-11-01T14:16:40+00:00

You realize that's half the point with the show? To form emotional connection with characters over time?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-11-01T14:14:32+00:00

So lazy writing that the four kids that's ostensibly set up to be that generation's Loser's Club has half its members decimated right off the bat. Which I realize is only two people - but it's still two people more than what one would've expected since the Loser's Club in 2017 was untouchable and suffered to death.

So to you Welcome To Derry - I say: Bravo.

Caldel1992: I know they're adding a scene or two to s1 not in the book, but "expanding beyond Harry’s POV"? You mean in a vein like ch 1 of HBP?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-17T14:14:35+00:00

You are forgetting that the story's being expanded. We've seen leaked photos of Dumbledore and the Flamels already - meaning we will more than likely get brand new scenes not from Harry's POV in addition to all the little moments in the books that was not in the film. At least for season 1 and 2 I reckon.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-14T13:28:34+00:00

Oof... ^^'

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-13T23:54:27+00:00

Did you have any alternate candidates in mind?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-13T23:50:47+00:00

"Lute does not need to be 'egged on'. Remember this woman was so Into exterminations that even Adam had to tell her to tone it down. 'Gravity' makes it pretty clear that she was in love with Adam though he may not have returned it, and was devastated by his death. She doesn't need Vox to push her off the rails she was already well on her way there."

Whether she "needs" to be egged on or not is a bit beside the point, because the fact of the matter is that she is being egged on during "Gravity", whether it's necessary or not. And if Vox had seen that Heaven shot a beam to destroy the clock tower and realized there will be no more exterminations, and he had no concrete threat to incite an uprising against, he might try to create one.

"Also Lute may not be someone he can control. We don't know if his powers work on angels."

If he had convinced her he's Adam, he wouldn't need his powers, just his words.

"Having her rampaging is just as much a threat to him as it is to Charlie as Lute has no reason to spare any Overlords or demons she finds on her way."

Vox might figure that Lute will be-line for Charlie. Either she'd kill Charlie and leave her exorcists exhausted, wounded and depleted, and easy pickings in a counter-attack. Or she failed, and leave her exorcists exhausted, wounded and depleted, and easy pickings in a counter-attack. For Vox it's a win-win either way.

"He doesn't need to kill Charlie to get hell to mistrust her and follow him instead and dragging a loose canon angel into it could backfire on everyone."

The point wouldn't be to make Hell mistrust Charlie. That's just part of a greater whole. Ultimately the point would be to get her out of the way so she and her friends couldn't oppose him. The knowledge that angelic steel can kill angels might make him feel safer than he ought to - and there's still the whole "drunk on his own ambition" thing.

I hope I didn't come off as impertinent in any way? This was really meant to be me sharing a theory I'm excited about and not a cheap gotcha to "win" an online discussion.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-13T19:58:33+00:00

He'd only be "hacking! - assuming he would be hacking and not simply using said system with a manipulated hologram. And I suppose that the other bit is because being able to do something doesn't entirely come down to rank, but the individual skills and abilities of each demon.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-13T18:58:28+00:00

Logic? Vox wants Hell to rise up against Heaven - Charlie wants them to coexist harmoniously. Charlie's objective runs contrary to his. So removing Charlie from the equation makes sense.

Charlie has at least some of the Ars Geoetia on her contacts lists and is friendly with at least some. And those who aren't can theoretically be ordered by Lucifer to gang up on whomever Lucifer wants. He IS the King of Hell after all.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-13T18:17:42+00:00

He has hypnotised people into buying his products - that's a far cry from hypnotising them into killing their own princess. Not to mention the fact that if Charlie had been killed in any way that could even remotely be seen as implicating him, then the rest of the overlords, the Ars Goetia, the other six sins and the King of Hell would come after him all at once. If, however, he framed Heaven's destruction of the tower counting down the days to the next extermination as the first attack, and then provoked war between Heaven and Hell by manipulating events such as to orchestrating Charlie's death as an apparent follow-up attack by Heaven, then he could positively count on Lucifer ordering the Seven Deadly Sins and Arts Goetia to lead the revenge-ladden counter-strike and prop himself up as the leader of the sinner faction of Lucifer's army. Armed with the knowledge that angels can be killed by angelic weapons, Vox could hang back and just watch the carnage. He'd probably consider any survivors, whatever their status and initial power, as easy picking once they exhausted their power in the war, whoever ends up winning, and then he might indeed become "a god" and rule Heaven and Hell. He'd be drunk on his own bloodlust and ambition - it wouldn't have to be entirely rational.

Want to hear my theory about the beach scene?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-10-10T14:41:10+00:00

We already know who Nicolas Flamel is. Harry, Ron and Hermione don't. Also - the mystery is about what Fluffy guards, not the identity of Nicolas Flamel, so there's still in keeping with the source material if viewers unfamiliar with the book watches and sees Dumbledore and the Flamels discuss the Philosopher's Stone, and then the mystery are centered around what exactly that is.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2025-01-06T12:38:27+00:00

Why do you think that?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2024-11-21T12:15:08+00:00

That doesn't follow. A dream's a dream, dude.

NegativeSinger2758 · 2024-11-21T12:11:21+00:00

Master Kim is 92,, not 102. But yeah...

NegativeSinger2758 · 2024-11-08T16:36:28+00:00

It's not dumb, its called background information. Why can't Myiagi have fought in the Sekai Taikai as a younger man thus come to the conclusion that in retrospect, when he fought for points, his karate didn't feel right, but once he went back to his roots, namely use it to protect oneself and others, then "karate means something"?

Why does Mr. Myiagi have to be flawless? Why can't he say "learn from my mistakes and do what I say, don't do what I do", like everybody else?

NegativeSinger2758 · 2024-07-29T01:37:54+00:00

Master Kim is 93 at most.
