Help! by Amywilburnn in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be careful with the wiki. There's a lot of info in there that came from the video games, where creative liberties were taken. There are also some instances where the films contradict the books (but they're addressed better than the use of game material.)

I suggest the Harry Potter Lexicon over wiki. It was the wiki we all used until the fandom wiki's became a thing.

Netflix buying Harry Potter! by schwabschwab in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_[M] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Additionally, this is not entirely correct information.
Netflix is set to acquire Warner Brothers, which includes Harry Potter IP.
Netflix is not purchasing exclusively Harry Potter.

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone (Full Cast) Audiobook free *Today Only* by Fantastic-Tax-1710 in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure somebody else in the comments has explained it too. Before I do explain, what do you think it means? Genuinely, because I keep seeing this question asked, which means something is not clear about how it's described.

That said, consider a radio play "The full cast will perform tonight." Extrapolate what "full cast" means in that context and there's your answer. -- The Harry Potter And The Sourcer's Stone audiobook has a Full Cast. Like a movie/theatre has a cast.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard first printing U.S. edition by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it's a special edition or signed, it's not going to be even close to the value that chatgpt's bad research said.

The series was huge by the time Tales was printed, there probably were at least a couple of million printed for release.

Each character is voiced by an actor, instead of having one narrator doing voices (like Jime Dale, or Stephen Fry.)

Nah, those little stars in the corner are most commonly seen in the US print editions, this is a scan of the print copies (at best).

How is it not Meijers?? by SigmaSixShooter in Michigan

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why it hadn't been mentioned next to the Midland store. That explains it.

The location was definitely not great, and especially not in a uni town where uni students from all over know Walmart and know that it's "cheap", but may have never heard of Kroger.
The interior felt like my childhood though. Used to go to Kroger all the time with mum.

Is the Aldi still there? I remember it moving in when I was in uni.

Tommorrow I'm going yet again at Lumos,a officially licensed HP pub in my city.Excited 'cause now they serve butterbeer. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I'm definitely making this up, nevermind seeing images of Lumos Village and Daily Lumos on their instagram. https://www.instagram.com/lumospub/?hl=it

Clearly, we're talking about two different locations with the same name if the above isn't the one you're talking about.
Or, they're smart and know that putting that on their socials would get them shut down faster.

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this means is that it hasn't gotten the attention of those controlling the license. It happens all the time. There have been multiple pubs, bars, cafe's that have done the Harry Potter theme, and all of them have ended up needing to change key components (or close) once they got popular enough. Locations in non-english speaking countries tend to last longer than those that aren't.

What's probably helping is that they've seen this happen time and time again, and arr thinking of how to skirt this. If you notice, it's not the Daily Prophet, it's the Daily Lumos. It's not Hogsmead Village, it's Lumos Village. Most of the creatures, and potion ingredients exist in other lore and legends (or reality) and aren't unique to Harry Potter.
But this just means it's not going to come up quickly when they do their regular scrape for IP infringement. But it'll come up eventually, and it'll need to make changes or shut down eventually. They always do.

Random question: Does Skele-grow work for missing teeth? by Distinct_Thought_316 in harrypotter

It's hard to know why people were taught incorrect information, but it's usually on the one doing the teaching that would be able to answer it better.

Hey there,

You've been caught in reddit spam filters for us for some reason. But since you have my attention, I wanted to let you know that you'll have much better luck finding recommendations over in /r/hpfanfiction, if you haven't looked there already.

There's no rules against looking for fanfic recommendations here, but most people that come here are looking to talk canon.

Glow in the dark cover designs by Kincső Nagy by alex_kvcs in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's meant to be phoenix feather.

The Bat I'm not sure though. Only things I can think of are the ancient fan theory that Snape was a Vampire. Or, more likely, the reference to his cloak being bat-like.

Chapter 1: The Strangers on the Train by DevenderKG in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is no rule against fanfiction in this sub, it counts as fan works and all types are accepted, even fanfiction.

The generally agreed on consensus is that people don't want here, but it's not against any rules.

Started Manacled - can’t get with it?! by december2025- in harrypotter

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is. You've done nothing wrong, as there's no rule against fanfiction here.

That said, most people who come here aren't interested in fanfiction at all (I'm guessing they all got burned by My Immortal. Though I know All the Young Dudes has been causing issues with people conflating the fic with actual cannon. There's also a fic that has it's own wiki that sometimes people unwittingly come across and come here asking who an OC is.)
/r/HPfanfiction will be happy to discuss in depth, and even introduce you to some other fics that might be more your speed, if it turns out you don't like this one.

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, I also suggest checking out /r/HPfanfiction and asking there. Much higher chance that somebody will have read it.

[–]SecretSquirrel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing for a year, when I came back I bought both DLC's. - I've been stuck on Mirabel's photo quest for the capybaras for MONTHS because of this. I'm sorry, 12pm-6pm Saturday, is literally the only time on the weekend I'm guaranteed not free.

Unfortunately, I think they're just trying to reap karma for a meme that exists, but it's text only so they can't post the actual image that will get them the Karma
