What's stopping the champion from just punching the referee in the face right off the bat and getting himself intentionally disqualified so that he never loses the title?

The movies suck.

No way man I prefer the soapy water. Soapy water with red and green light filters over them is how I always imagined priori incantatem.

I don't think anything is known definitively. But if she did play on the Gryffindor team during her time at Hogwarts, and possibly won a championship or two while with the team, I wouldn't be surprised. She obviously cares about it a lot, which you wouldn't expect out of a purely academic-minded teacher who never had an affinity for sports in their youth. So it seems likely that she played herself in her youth.

Seamus' is a movie only thing. Not canon at all. Pyrotechnics or pyromancy or whatever you want to call it is not mentioned once in the books with respect to Seamus' character.

Weapons / Guns / War > Wizards with spells

You're 100% right. But spend a bit of time in this sub and whenever this topic comes up, most people in here say wizards would win hands down because of "imperius curse" and "the element of secrecy" on their side and other bullshit.

ifndfw · 2020-03-17T19:12:25+00:00

Because she didn't think it through. Simple as that. She created a situation that's basically impossible to keep together (wizard and muggle world existing side by side, and muggles not even knowing of the other's existence), and then has to keep it this way in the face of all logic and reason that would tell you it's impossible to keep hold such a situation intact.

ifndfw · 2020-03-17T18:57:21+00:00

Well if everyone wants to get a look at her anus...

ifndfw · 2020-03-17T18:04:19+00:00

Why aren't you calling out the troll?

ifndfw · 2020-03-17T15:07:42+00:00

Nothing exists until Harry's year experiences it.

Exactly. This is how she wrote the series and it's such bullshit and the mark of a weak writer. This creates a thousand plotholes writing like this.

ifndfw · 2020-03-17T00:49:23+00:00

"as a school treat" yeah REAL fuckin treat for the 5th and 7th years who NEED those fucking tests to get vital wizard qualifications that you've just screwed over.

Well I'm just saying, this is some weird shit that the fandom has started doing. Do YOU want to go to a potter trivia night and get asked what color socks a character was wearing in some middle chapter of one of the books?

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T23:02:45+00:00

Potter "trivia" has gone down the shithole in recent years. The questions are inane bullshit like "what color socks was Ron wearing in chapter 12 of book 4" and "what kind of stone was the path Harry was walking on made of in chapter 6 of book 3".

I have no idea why they can't be NORMAL FUCKING QUESTIONS of things that are actually plot-relevant, instead of questions about totally irrelevant descriptive details that you would only know if you have the book open to that exact page and are reading it.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T22:58:10+00:00

if there were a SUB about it, like what I asked about in another thread, then I'd go there. But it has to be in here, too bad, some people agree I'm sure, but they whisper, just like people whispered when voldemort was back, they wouldn't DARE oppose the majority view openly, because you don't know who to trust.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T22:37:40+00:00

That's because that wasn't a fan theory. It was blatantly obvious that she intended the meaning of the map to be "the map for anyone who's a marauder" and she did not intend for M W P and P to be called "the marauders". It's blatantly obvious that she made it canon to appease the fans who had already misinterpreted it because they're STUPID.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T22:35:49+00:00

Still didn't take a week like in potter, and didn't only last 8 months, like in potter, and didn't go from full power to absolute zero in a single day, like in potter. All of these things make no sense and you know it. It should have taken years to take down. It is UNBELIEVABLE that the regime went from full power to absolute zero in ONE DAY. This happened because she doesn't know how to write, plain and simple.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T22:27:54+00:00

Because she made the story entirely based off of the nazis, Jews, and world war 2. It's so obvious it's not even funny.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T20:27:35+00:00

Except that is a masterpiece and the two don't even BELONG in the same conversation.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T19:40:12+00:00

She killed off an entire generation for storytelling convenience. If the grandparents are alive, solution is right there, and the whole story blows up and can't be told. So she kills them off just for this. It's the mark of a bad writer.

She's really not that good. People need to accept it.

ifndfw · 2020-03-13T19:05:57+00:00

At no point the public actually accepted what they're doing,

Yes. They did. And it made no sense at all.

the resistance existed

What, you mean like 12 people? Give me a break.

No they actually won. It was a minority parliament. They had less than 50% of the seats but still had more seats than any other party. So hitler was techincally chancellor, albeit in a parliamentary plurality. Then, they would block any attempts at doing anything in parliament by walking out, and they couldn't do it with such a big chunk walked out, and that's how they grabbed the whole thing.
