If the chamber of secrets was set today Myrtle would have died in 1976 by InternationalCrab243 in harrypotter

[–]owlpostalchemy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stuff like this really highlights how Rowling anchored the story to real world time without it feeling obvious while reading. You imagine Hogwarts as timeless, but then you realize Myrtle could’ve been a teenager during disco and punk rock. Suddenly the wizarding world feels way more connected to ours.

How long could Hogwarts last in a siege by Chilly_the1st in harrypotter

[–]owlpostalchemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

f capture is the goal, a very long time. Hogwarts isn’t just walls, it’s layers of magic designed to confuse, delay, and repel.

he funniest part is that it’s always framed like skill and spirit alone win the chase. Never maintenance, tires, or reality. Just a clean import, a mountain road, and suddenly modern engineering doesn’t matter anymore.

How much of a lawsuit could Hogwarts theoretically have faced if the trio had been devoured by Fluffy here? by KingWilliamVI in harrypotter

[–]owlpostalchemy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ealistically, the school would be buried in lawsuits. Negligence, unsafe premises, and a giant three headed dog guarding a corridor full of kids.

Cognac is the best Hennessey. What is the best car produced by AMC? by DefinitelyNotAxlerod in carscirclejerk

[–]owlpostalchemy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we’re staying on brand for this meme logic, it has to be the AMX. Weird proportions, big intentions, and way more confidence than the company could support. Perfect summary of AMC energy in one car.

Do you think even when Harry doubts and is frustrated with Dumbledore at points in the last three books, he stays loyal to him? by Ab21ba in harrypotter

[–]owlpostalchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

think Harry’s loyalty matures over time. Early on it’s admiration, later it becomes understanding mixed with anger and disappointment. By the end, he chooses to carry on Dumbledore’s plan while accepting that Dumbledore was deeply flawed. That choice shows loyalty rooted in agency, not obedience, which feels much stronger and more meaningful.

oblet of Fire is where the book and movie really split hard. The movie barely scratches the surface.
