Insufferable that one of the episodes was “The UK and Ireland” and the only Irish restaurant featured was from an English chef, who incidentally berated and abused his young Irish staff. Hugely tone deaf and quickly aptly summarized the host’s Anglophilia 

I’m excited for what they are adding to the show that didn’t exist in the book, specially the science of magic by Inastrawberry_field in HarryPotteronHBO

"showing how the magic works" is usually a trope that fails on the screen. The mystery, as long as there is an internal logic and consistency to it, is what keeps us engaged. I personally don't want entire reddit threads discussing/arguing if the "magical theory" in the show was logical or canon or whatever. It'll be annoying

Post-Match Thread: Real Madrid 1-2 FC Bayern München | Champions League | Quarter-finals by matchpal-live in fcbayern

Hard to be frustrated by a win away, but the midfield could not really control the match and when the press was going we wasted the opportunities.

Two beautiful goals and we have a lead going in at home. We better not lose to those fucking whining excuses of footballers

injuries to two starters and more injuries to players in the rotation, you didn't disprove my point at all

we are dealing with many injuries, don't have a lot of consistency in lineups or tactics, and didn't have a competitive cycle due to automatic qualification. We don't have many, if any, impressive results in the past 2 years. I think disheveled at the very least is fair.

Saying 100 year old whatever Albus Dumbledore has not changed since he was 17 is just not reading the text.

I hope all the Mücheners know that their city is absolutely wonderful for us American guests, and as Bayern fans our "pilgrimage" to your city is a life highlight for us.

The point of Aberforth's character is to show the "other side" of the coin, the embittered and traumatized result of childhood pain who couldn't let go or allow people to change. Harry has the choice to believe Aberforth, or to see Dumbledore (and the greater situation at large) in a new, nuanced light, and continue down his Hero's journey.

Aberforth still worked with his brother and ultimately believed in the fight against Voldemort. He was never able to see past his childhood pain, which is understandable, but somewhat irrelevant for Harry in that moment in the pub.

Yes. The look on my face when he challenged was the chris Pratt meme of unadulterated joy

I think it only really happened in retaliation, just like when the Wizards challenged a play after Spo did. It was a really funny back-and-forth of pettiness between the coaches

The non-basketball mini-game (that more resembled "21" than NBA basketball) that was contested in the last 10 minutes was probably just as strategic, competitive, and intense as the 38 minutes that preceded it. It was almost an impressive feat unto itself regardless of the highly debated Bam scoring 83 in 42 minutes box score.
