Hi,This is a...

Hi,

This is a thread for anyone and everyone who is Harry Potter obsessed. You are especially welcomed here if you have read all the books but if you haven't that is good too. 

Feel free to be a Potter nerd here!

Who is your favorite character? (just wondering)

I think it's so funny that when she was making Ilvermorny, JK Rowling thought that there would just be some random ancient castle in Massachussets somewhere. Like, I'm pretty sure that's just a European thing...

Anyway, do you all know about the other wizarding schools? There's one in Brazil in the side of a mountain. There's one in Russia where they play quidditch using uprooted trees instead of brooms. There's one in Africa where you get contacted via dreams and then you get to learn wANDLESS MAGIC. There's one in Japan where your robes change colors and it's a palace carved from jade or something like that, and it's located on a volcanic island. Apparently, the Japanese wizarding school also lets students come when they're like 7 years old and they get transported to the island via a flock of birds (this school is also super good at quidditch after they were accidentally taught the game by some rouge Hogwarts kids). These schools were all made by JK Rowling. Look it up. Guys, there's SO MUCH more out there than just Hogwarts, Ilvermorny, and the other two European ones. 

And the best thing is that JK rowling confirmed that there are like four or five unnamed ones. Go ahead and create your own wizarding school. Have fun with it. It's super cool, trust me. 

PS. I find this funny because the European countries were all like "VOLDMORT IS COMING WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" and I can just imagine a Japanese wizard talking to a Russian wizard and a Brazillian wizard and just being like "yeah, Europe's still having problems with the dark lord... should we help them?" and they're all just like, "nah, they can handle it. I heard they got a kid with a lightning scar, they're fine".

Oh wow I didn't know about all the other wizarding schools. Those sound really cool, especially the African one with wandless magic. Where'd you find those?

Oh my gosh that's so cool! I had never heard of those other schools. I will definetly have to check them out. I think Beauxbatons is probably my favorite though because I am a francophile and am obsessed with all things french XD

I think it is an awesome idea to create your own witch and wizard school! I will have to do that sometime I'm bored

TRIVIA TIME!!!

1) What is Dumbledoor's patronous?

2) What is the name of the Hufflepuff ghost?

3) What is the name of someone who is a muggle but has all wizard family?

I know these are easy, but we will do harder ones sometime soon!

@Hazel Magnolia, same! I would love to go to France one day and I would love to go to Beauxbatons because I'm actually learning French!

Also, do any of you know the Broadway Show "The Puffs"? It's a Harry Potter spin-off about the Hufflepuffs. (If you want to watch it then it's on Amazon Video but you do have to pay I think). Anyway, a homeschool program was putting it on (I'm homeschooled so I've never been in a school/any play) and so I auditioned (They weren't like having you audition for a certain role, you just had to say some lines and they decide with role is best for you.) and I got a small part! I got one of the Time-Traveling Hermiones and I only had two words ("Oh Honestly!") but I was so excited! 

But guess what? Yep, COVID hit. And I was really sad.  

Oh and in answer to the trivia...hmm...I don't know #1, but #2 is the Fat Friar right? And #3 is a Squib.

@ Cynthia Maple

Sorry this response is so late!

I am learning French too! I speak un peu right now but I'm learning a lot more! I will have to check out that Puffs thing!  Sorry about your play, that sounds like a lot of fun. I am a theater person and I was going to be the Dragon in Shrek the Musical and she has a whole song so I was really excited but yes, stupid COVID canceled it :(

The answers to the questions about Harry Potter are

#1: a Phoenix

#2: the Fat friar

#3: squib

If anyone wants more we should deifinetly so more!

Hi! Just wanted to say that I'm a total Harry Potter fan and I'm a Hufflepuff with a deer patronus (I can't remember if it was a stag or doe)!

Hello fellow Harry Potter nerds! I love all the characters (well, maybe not all of them...looking at you, Voldemort). I'm a proud ravenclaw, and my patronus is a bay stallion. I've read all the books, watched all the movies, and have various books outside the series that have to do with Harry Potter as well. I even made my CAPTCHA an owl. Sometimes I fantasize about living in the wizarding world and doing magic. If I could live there I would eat a lot of chocolate frogs.

My faverite charecter is hermione. I have read the harry potter books so many times and my faverite part is in harry potter and the deathly hollows, The battle of hogwarts. My faverite house is ravenclaw. I really like in the second book when the weasleys come to get harry in the flying car.
