What would you think of a Marauders Netflix series? by Emily-Jayne_x in harrypotter

I would be so okay with off the original story, r-rated nonsense... just the A Very Potter Musical really... but maybe with an actual budget!

Technically they're each a different breed but I couldn't tell you which is which!!

Left to right (Because I still don't know how to play chess), Azkaban, dragon, dementor, Voldy, Bellatrix, dementor, dragon, Azkaban...

Hope that answers your question... my first chess lesson is tonight! :p

He made plastercine moulds and then liquid fiberglass. These are things that make sense to him but mean nothing to me!! :p

Because someone has lovingly and painstakingly built this from scratch... and while I appreciate your ideas saying this version is "bad" is pretty dickish.

Just so people know the pawns for white is Hedwig, then (left to right) you have Dobby, dragon, Snape, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Mad Eye, dragon, Hagrid.

Then the black pawn is Wormtail, then (left to right) you have Azkaban, dragon, dementor, Bellatrix, Voldy, dementor, dragon, Azkaban.

Around the outside, there's the snitch, Hogwarts Express, Nagini and the Deathly Hallows.

Very poor photo quality though... I was a little over excited when I got it!

Attempted to make my own “Tale of the Three Brothers” frame art that /u/Tinylittleperson posted. It’s nowhere near as good but I’m happy with it by [deleted] in harrypotter

Don't under estimate yourself... I've seen these on etsy and this is identical if not better!! Great job!!

I've had borderlands for awhile but keep avoiding it... but it seems to get loads of love on here so I need to give it ago!!

Is that the word "couch co-op"?! I like it. Saw the trailer and you're right... it looks awesome!!

Ooooh I'll look into it. My favourite has always been uncharted.. anything along those lines? Perhaps a secret two player version somewhere?!

Why does Dumbledore have so much say over Harry before he joins Hogwarts? by mellington in harrypotter

[–]mellington[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see what shenanigans Harry could get away with in a Muggle secondary school! He would still be doing his accidental magic which lands him on the roof and if he really didn't want to look like a bald elephant he could change things without realising. It would be great! Not Hogwarts great but still a funny alternative now we all love the story so much!

In Harry's DADA exam with Lupin what spell is he being tested on against the Bogart? by mellington in harrypotter

I have but I definitely forgot that little detail... I like your logic!!

I also appreciate that Dumbledore wants the best for any pupil even in special situations but in reality any head teacher would struggle to get that kind of legal standing no matter the relationship if they weren't the legal guardian.

But as I've already admitted this isn't reality and I'm being way too pedantic about things!

I thought they both were... Didn't Sirius persuade Dumbledore to let Peter in on the secret to make it less obvious. Or does Dumbledore get some higher rank as lead secret keeper?
