So after reading Cursed Child I was beyond excited for this character and I thought I'd share why. That said there are probably gonna be spoilers in here.

First and foremost, right off the bat I figured I'd like her because Bellatrix is her mom. To be honest out of all of my favorite characters I figured that Bella would be the least likely to have a baby but here she is lol. So she gets points just for being Bellatrix's daughter. xP Carry on her legacy well Delphi. :'D

Secondly I love her name. My friend and I, in the last 24 hours have made so many jokes about Bellatrix going 'derp, this is dolphin*. "Time to carry on the Black tradition, shame my mother, and ruin my kid's social life all at once." In all seriousness, as it has been pointed out, Delphi's name really refers to the oracle and I love her name's deeper more symbolic meaning. That alone is already setting up for a cool character.

I also really love her edgy af character design lol. The wing tattoo is badass and I adore her hair. Not because I had my hair dyed the same way for a while or anything... 0:D

Getting into her personality, I think that she's really cute and funny too. At least in the beginning when she was pretending to be a good guy. No less I loved how the first thing she did was jokingly try to mug Albus. It was one of those moments where I was like 'yup she's Bella's alright.' And (even though it was fake) I thought her mini-Albus crush was cute in that 'kid who has a crush on his babysitter' kind of way.

Of course I loved her more cunning personality towards the end too.She actually proved to be really smart if I do say so; I thought it was really clever of her to try to stop Voldy from killing Harry rather than trying to actually kill Harry herself. And the fact that she was able to play Albus and Scorpius so well was impressive. Like she ended up being so badass. Especially when she started flinging around Crucios then I was really like, 'yup, totally Bella's, just like her mum :'D'

I also think that she (given only one book of development) is a deep and compelling character. I mean she, like her mom, isn't exactly all there either but in a more subtle way. It's her delusions of grandeur that had me intrigued; when she stated that she was the past and present and was the future this world needed. That really struck me as interesting. Combine that with the above paragraph and I just think she's a really fascinating character.
In other words, despite my jokes about her being like Ebony from My Immortal, she's not a Mary Sue. And despite what the leak made it sound like (and more jokes) she isn't some edge lord, OC-like character. She was written just as well as all of the others.

Finally I have a lot of sympathy for her as well. Though she may have played it up a bit I do feel bad that she missed out on Hogwarts because of her heritage. And I do feel bad that (despite my love of Bellatrix) that her parents just abandoned her and then died. Because at the end of the day even though she had secondary motives, I do think that she just wanted to be with her father and wanted his love even though he'd never be able to love her. Again she's just like her mom except she longed for familial love where Bellatrix desired romantic love.

In conclusion, 10/10; Bellatrix spawned a great child. Though I would love to know how no one noticed that she was pregnant in the first place lol. Oh well, Dolphin is a great character so kudos to Rowling for impressing me again and satisfying my needs as a Bella fan and a Bellamort fan. And by all means extra kudos because Dolphin is still alive!

Dear Friend,

Firstly, let me say that although this is a form response, there is a very good chance I read your letter; I always look through the mail, but I receive so much these days that unfournately it is not possible to answer everything individually. Nevertheless, it means the world to me that Harry Potter fans take the time and trouble to write and share their thoughts, feelings and life experiences, their favourite characters and parts of the books, not to mention my involvement with the films, Harry has been, and continues to be, one of the most important things in my life.

If you have...

On a frosty night, in the dungeon of Hogwarts castle dwelled a sarcastic, bat-like potions master by the name of Severus Snape.

Most of us here love him, or at the very least, like him. Though I know I liked him from the very beginning when his sarcasm began to show, I also know many of his dedicated fans hated him at that time - for bullying Harry.
But, we ask ourselves, why did his fans forgive and love him? This question is rather simple and the answer is without a doubt. Because of his unconditional love for Lily. And, we also ask ourselves, why do we find his love for Lily touching? Because...

Favorite Quotes by Hermione Granger


"Oh Harry, don't you see? If she could have done one thing to make absolutely sure that every single person in this school will read your interview, it was banning it!"

--------------------------------------------------

Hermione drew herself to her full height; her eyes were narrowed and her hair seemed to crackle with electricity.
"No," she said, her voice quivering with anger, "but I will write to your mother."

--------------------------------------------------

They were so busy that Hermione had stopped knitting elf hats and was fretting that she was down...

Here's some fan fiction i just thought of this morning. Thought I'd share it with you guys. Please tell me if you like or dislike it! Thanks!

It was cold and dark. I couldn't see a thing. I looked around me trying to make out anything I could in the meek moonlight. Anything at all. No. Nothing. An abyss of darkness. Suddenly, I heard a shriek. I glanced around trying to figure out which way it was coming from. I took out my wand (I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of this before) and whispered "Lumos." Nothing happened. Then, I heard the shriek again. I started running forward. The shriek....

I've been thinking about this for a while.You see the first time I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I was confused.Peter Pettigrew was sorted in Gryffindor - the house of bravery and loyalty.Peter was ready to forget about his friendship so easily.But now I feel that he was a real Gryffindor.He was loyal to He-who-must-not-be-named , he was brave enough to cut his own hand , lived as a rat so many years...
I'm not mad at him.He was just a boy and he was afraid.


It annoys a bit when people say he didn't diserve to be a Gryffindor.

Dudley: They stuff people's heads down the toilet the first day at Stonewall. Want to come upstairs and practice?
Harry: No, thanks. The poor toilet's never had anything as horrible as your head down it -- it might be sick.

1st Weasley Twin: Oh, are you a prefect, Percy? You should have said something, we had no idea.
2nd Weasley Twin: Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it. Once --
