Personally, I don't. I just don't see it happening. I think Voldemort would have used something to take away his "lust," because honestly he was too skeptical to have sex with anyone, he would be too afraid of someone creeping up on him to destroy him during "the act" of sex. IDK, I always kinda saw him as Asexual. Too paranoid and untrusting, even to have sex with a follower. He just seems, imo, that he would be disgusted with the whole thing, and that giving into lust, would be a weakness just like love, which he despised.

..and sorry if this has been asked a lot. Why would Voldemort choose significant and powerful artifacts at Hogwarts as his horcruxes? The guy could have just used a few ordinary pebbles, tossed them deep into the ocean or jungle and actually lived forever, do you think Harry would have still found them otherwise? p.s I'm excited to get into the books. I'm about to order the collection

I’m listening to the full cast audio books (amazing) and, although I’ve read the books numerous times, I’m just now coming to realization that all the Hogwarts professors are unattached and there’s no mention of their children. I’m on the HBP so maybe I’m missing it somewhere. Is it just coincidence they’re all seemingly single and childless? Is it a prerequisite to teach at the school? Or is it simply plot convenience? Apologies if this question has already been discussed.

The four Hogwarts Houses each value different things, and occasionally, someone comes along and you genuinely don't understand why they were there. So here's my pick for the worst member of each house. Now to be clear, I'm basing this on the books.

Gryffindor, values bravery, daring and nerve. The student who exemplifies those the least is Peter Pettigrew. Cowardly, self serving, his actions directly lead to the deaths of his supposed friends.

Slytherin, values ambition and cunning. Gregory Goyle seems really disinterested in being anything other than a follower, which is really the opposite of ambition.

Ravenclaw, values knowledge above all. So it begs the question how Gilderoy Lockhart, who was so comically inept at basically everything got sorted into this house?

Hufflepuff, values honesty, fairness and loyalty as their main traits. So I personally feel confident saying Zacharias Smith is the worst Hufflepuff, as he abandoned the D.A during the battle of Hogwarts to save his own skin even pushing first years out of the way.

So these are just some random thoughts I had. Do you agree, disagree? Let me know.

Saw this theory on tik tok and cannot unthink it.

1. Santa is a wizard
2. He connects every household to the floo network for one night.
3. He uses an undetectable extension charm on his sack for the toys and sleigh.
4. He owns loads of house elves, likely breeding them etc. (hopefully taking in free elves who still wish to work)
5. Ministry and other nations magical governments spread propaganda about Santa to hide the wizarding world.
6. EDIT: Likely uses time turners to accomplish the job in one night (Thanks u/sir_scribble_lot for adding to the theory)

That sounds like way too many people right? I know harrys year was affected by the war, but i would assume the years older than them had been too. Hard to imagine slytherin gets twice the amount of people sorted in

I just finished the Harry Potter series for the first time about a week ago, (long overdue but worth it, not Cursed Child yet, seven original books), and have a hard time ranking them because all seven books are great. But here's mine based on my experience:

1. Order of the Phoenix

And from here it gets very hard,

1. Deathly Hallows

2. Philosopher's Stone

3. Chamber of Secrets

4. Prisoner of Azkaban

5. Half-Blood Prince

6. Goblet of Fire

In the books there are creatures and tasks to defeat, wizards need to use magic and logic in order to advance.

In the movies theres nothing, if krum wasnt bewitched literally nothing would have happened, it was just luck to find the cup and theres no magic needed.

GoF is my favourite book and movie but that never made any sense, i guess directors wanted a more scary environment and blast ended skrewts wouldnt have done that.

(This is a hypothetical discussion, considering that the books don't provide a definitive answer.)

Under Polyjuice, Harry didn't need his glasses when he turned into Goyle, Hermione mentioned that she could experience Harry’s poor eyesight, and Crouch Jr. also assumed Moody’s physical (the lost leg) and sensory (the lost eye) disabilities – meaning only the drinker’s cognitive and mental abilities are preserved in the transformation. So, does that mean that a person with congenital blindness or deafness would be able to see and hear by drinking Polyjuice that contained a sample of a person with perfect sight and hearing? (The same goes for other sorts of physical impairments.)

I also wonder how this line can be drawn. If the person you're turning into has, let's say, terminal cancer, would the drinker's new body experience the physical symptoms? Or the other way around: would the curse that was bound to kill Dumbledore within the year not move as fast if he drank Polijuice every hour to turn into a healthy subject? If so, could healers buy their patients more time (like Mr. Weasley after Nagini attacking) by administering Polyjuice?

I don't see any mentions of the Phelps twins' Fantastic Friends travel show on the CW yet in this sub so sharing the link. There are two seasons:

I want to talk about my fave scene in the whole series because I think it’s kind of an unpopular one to have it as a fave. So it’s the scene in the order of the phoenix when Voldemort possesses Harry in front of all his friends.

The reason why I love that scene so much is because his friends finally get to see first hand how much he is hurting. How being the chosen one took so much from him. It took away a normal teenagehood that all the other kids get to have. And the way at one point Harry is looking at them all longingly and in pain almost wishing that he could be like them.

When I mean rebellious, I mean things like smoking, vaping, drinking etc that alot of teenagers do to be classed as "cool". What would be the equivalent to these stuff in the Wizarding World?

I read the chapter The Ghoul in the Attic, and I thought “that was a stupid chapter name” since it only mentioned the ghoul in the last three pages. So I wonder if you guys think there are other badly named chapters

So I was just now reading chapter 26 The Cave in The Half Blood Prince book and i wondered two things

1. Why didn't harry and Dumbledore just throw the potion on the ground? I understand that there could have been enchantments to make it impossible but there are lines that say that Harry supported Dumbledore so that the goblet wouldn't spill its contents which makes it seem to me that it was possible. But even if that was the case why didn't they just summon 12 goblets ( there was about 12 gobletfulls in the basin) and just put them on the ground?

2. Why didn't Harry just summon water into Dumbledore's mouth itself? Why was he insistent to make Dumbledore drink water from the goblet?

What do you guys think? Is it possible there was some magic preventing these things?

Once I make my move, the Queen will take me. Then you're free to check the King!

Are there 1 boy & girl per 5th 6th and 7th year per house (24 total) or just 2 per house (8 total)

I'm asking because I believe all the prefect were 5th years during order of the Phoenix, meaning every previous prefect got demoted which is crazy

I (35F) love many of them. Below are some of the reasons.

Hagrid

• Had a good friendship with Harry, Ron, and Hermione
• Was passionate about his subject and loved all magical creatures
• Was loyal to Dumbledore

Lupin

• Was fatherly towards Harry
• Had faith in Neville from the start

Impostor Moody

• Taught his students a lot

What do you guys think?

I’m on the part where Harry is learning how to fight against a dementor by casting the patronus and this quote confused me.
“But he’d never be able to produce a proper Patronus if he half wanted to hear his parents again…”

My 13 year old niece just read the books and is really into it, I'm looking for gift suggestions for Christmas for her. The more unusual & unique the better!

If Lord Voldemort won then presumably he would go after muggles. However, I never quite understand if the muggles fight back? Surely 60 million muggles in the UK could fight back against Lord Voldemort and his twenty people...

Would anyone else be interested in that or is it just me? I’d love a whole new adventure in Durmstrang

Like genuinely, can you imagine having parents and siblings who can do magic and you’re just unable? It feels significantly worse than if you’re like Tom Brady’s unathletic brother. I feel bad for all the squibs out there

Like Colin Creevey, Oliver Wood, Moaning Myrtle etc.

Why do the Death Eaters want to rule over the Muggles?
There is nothing the Muggles could do that would benefit the wizards in any way (nothing that the wizards are aware of anyways). What could they do for Voldemort that he can't do with a flick of his wrist? I get that he is all about having the power but power for the sake of power is an equally weak motivation as evil for the sake of evil (in my oppinion). Is he, an adult man, aiming to enslave the planet just because life at the orphanage sucked?

I always thought it would be cool if everyone had some Magic in them but only the wizards had enough to "channel" it. Not only could little readers keep the dream alive beyond their 11th birthday but also Voldemort could aim to somehow harvest this magic to gain even more powerful magical abilities to truly go where no wizard had gone before.

Or is it just that this is a childrens book at it's root and you shouldn't look into these things too deeply?

Also completely unrelated, does the third Horcrux contain a third of a soul or a quarter (half of a half)?
