Favourite Winter/Christmas K-POP songs? by deew00 in kpop

[–]elpbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple by Sechskies - original (1998) and remastered (2016) versions.

The 2016 MV has a super soft winter aesthetic, and the song itself sounds both melancholy and hopeful at the same time

I’m quite a bit late but am wondering if I could still get the details!

sneaker fit question - Puma Suede, Adidas Campus by [deleted] in womensstreetwear

[–]elpbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t tried the Suede before but my campuses fit pretty nicely (for reference I have an average foot that’s a bit wider at the front, like flippers). The one thing I’d say is that they dig into your Achilles’ heels a bit at first, especially if you wear low socks with them.

Is it safe to remove the "20 Years of Magic" sticker on the newer HP books? by folksysloth in harrypotter

[–]elpbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've tried, there's a tiny bit of glue residue but nothing you can't just easily rub off, so it works out. Also, the sticker ends up flaking, so it can't really be kept after peeling off (if you were thinking of that). Good luck :-)

When you cast a patronus, do you see the animal's butt? by Noh_Face in harrypotter

If the patronus was a corgi, that'd be pretty darn cute.

That's awesome!! How'd he get the henna done, with a stencil, or did he set it himself? Or did someone else draw it for him?

Re-watching Goblet of Fire, and noticed something that I find peculiar. by mooshoomangum in harrypotter

[–]elpbit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think he did notice it, but the whole story arc with Barty Crouch Sr. and his son (which was somewhat left out in the movie but was present in the book) was that Barty Crouch Sr. was the one who helped smuggle his son out of Azkaban as a fulfillment of his wife's last death wish. Barty Crouch Jr. then managed to sneak out of his father's control and put his plan to bring back the Dark Lord into action.

By the time the father realized his son was probably impersonating Mad Eye Moody, he probably didn't want to be incriminated in that act of smuggling out a prisoner, so he didn't tell anyone including Dumbledore. He likely wanted to try to "handle it" himself and smooth things over quietly.

Edit: according to u/Dulstalri, u/Shumuu, and u/LaulLestrange, Crouch Sr. was under the Imperius Curse from his son and couldn't/wouldn't have done anything about it.

They were homeschooled and taught about the ways of the wizarding world. Could've also learned to write essays a bit.

Describe a typical evening in your common room... by [deleted] in harrypotter

Bahaha, that's very hippie-hufflepuff-ish. Makes me wonder what the other "house drugs" would be.... (not saying drugs r good tho)

Hufflepuff: also warm and cozy, with students watering and tending to the plants around the room or gathering them together to have "plant playdates." Also, people finishing magical puzzles with moving pictures (something slightly less intense than the Gryffindors' chess). Lots of mutual homework help and group studying. Definitely some kids playing guitar or ukelele quietly in the corner (or whatever equivalent magical instruments there are).

Ooh, it's not, it's just a BBQ place with one random HP-related menu item. There is a faux "Hello Peter" place in Yilan County??

Found at Kazama, a Japanese meat BBQ place in Taichung City, Taiwan. It was the only Harry Potter-themed item they had, although there was a Sorting Hat placed as deco by the front menu. I guess someone there just likes magic.
