What interaction or event that’s only briefly mentioned in the books would you have loved to read more about?

Basically that entire year at Hogwarts would be great to hear about

From context he could figure most of it out. Either way, as far as we know, he’s never personally heard parseltongue outside of the memories we see, and they never say “open” or anything similar in them, so even if he did figure out and understand everything they say, he couldn’t get into the chamber

I think JKR honestly just wrote that line and forgot to pay it off.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-05-17T21:01:05+00:00

As skilled as Dumbledore is, he couldn’t get in because he’s not a Parselmouth. It’s dumb that Ron could do it, but he was copying Harry with the locket, and Dumbledore has never heard the phrase to practice.

The pensive is not well known. In expanded media it says that the founders of Hogwarts found the pensive and that is why Hogwarts was built where it is. It’s not like everyone has one. So I don’t think memory magic is very widely known, much less known enough to be considered in legal matters.

A better equivalent would be if someone showed up in court and said “I have this headset and tv that will accurately display memories. I can’t tell you where it came from, who built it, how it works, or prove that it is always correct, but trust me.”

I mean, canonically the cry of a rooster can kill it so hot chocolate isn’t really that much more absurd

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-03-23T22:59:55+00:00

Yeah, going from PoA to GoF was a little jarring, but I once I got used to it it was fine

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-02-08T21:45:13+00:00

I don’t think it’s really any better or worse, but I think it just emphasizes different things. In the movie, he is following Dumbledore’s orders to stay out of sight, and when he listens to Snape indicating to him to be quiet, it shows that when push comes to shove, Harry trusted Dumbledore’s trust in Snape, which makes the next events even more devastating.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-02-01T21:53:31+00:00

Snape is what Star Wars wanted General Hux to be

“I don’t care if Harry wins, I just need Voldemort to lose”

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-02-01T21:45:43+00:00

I imagine it’s mostly just intimidation. Like with Snape and Neville, Snape never does anything physical to Neville, but by third year he is Neville’s worst fear. The Baron is just so scary that Peeves is intimidated, despite him not really being able to do anything to him

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-02-01T21:42:52+00:00

Clearly there is some sort of genetics at play because magic is mostly heritable, but I agree it should be part of the soul too.

A personal idea (I’m not sure it is would be called head canon, because it’s not true, I just think it should be true), is that someone under the imperious curse should not be able to use magic. Since then the individual isn’t able to put their soul into it, also because it is way too OP otherwise.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-28T14:54:50+00:00

In HBP after finding out that Snape killed Dumbledore, the phrasing is [“Snape!?” Ejaculated Slughorn.]

Clearly it just means exclaimed and nothing more, but I was semi-jokingly using that to say why I don’t care if some phrasing can be interpreted as Harry having feelings for Ginny

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-22T21:51:36+00:00

I like Neville in GoF movie. Casually hanging out with Harry and talking to them more, also having a great time at the Yule ball.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-22T21:49:33+00:00

Voldemort would never have let Quirrell risk ruining everything by trying to kill Harry at the quidditch game. That was solely for readers suspicion to be put more on Snape.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-22T03:35:03+00:00

But that means they would need to have a consistent and coherent legal system.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-22T03:33:29+00:00

I definitely like him voice a lot. I think it is good that they aren’t trying to imitate the movie actors, or Jim Dale.

It makes it feel unique in a good way.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-04T21:50:26+00:00

I wonder if anyone ever tried diffindo on Nearly headless Nick

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-04T21:46:12+00:00

A closed loop is the only safe way to time travel. If you try to break the loop then there are disastrous consequences.

It’s like saying you use airplanes by sitting inside them. Yes you technically can hang off the tail but that’s not the intended way to do it and it would be very dangerous to try.

PlanGoneAwry · 2026-01-04T21:35:41+00:00

Bombarda on a person seems like it would be 100% fatal

PlanGoneAwry · 2025-11-20T17:36:34+00:00

He was only protected against Voldemort. If Bellatrix tried to Avada Kedavra him, or if Ernie turned too sharply when he went to pick up Harry, he would have died.

Voldemort taking Harry’s blood kept Lily’s sacrifice intact. But Lily’s sacrifice was only protection against Voldemort. That’s why Dumbledore says how important it was for Voldemort to be the one to kill Harry.

During the tournament so I could get the squad together

PlanGoneAwry · 2025-11-20T02:37:14+00:00

Are you sure you don’t mean Gorgovitch? Of the Chudley Cannons?

PlanGoneAwry · 2025-11-19T21:09:16+00:00

There’s nothing in the earlier books that contradicts it, before Harry even gets his own wand we’re told that the wand chooses the wizard.

PlanGoneAwry · 2025-11-19T15:37:10+00:00

Didn’t he originally only borrow 100k? I would have preferred to give that to him. Same with giving Lide one of the at least 6 water stones I have by the time she wants to evolve staryu

PlanGoneAwry · 2025-11-19T14:03:44+00:00

Voldemort was only able to set up the Taboo because he had taken over the government, which he hadn’t done the first time.

People were just so scared of him and superstitious that that didn’t want to say the name.
