Avada Kedavra For Dummies

posted by vanillaicecream

By Niche Eenhoorn

This article will basically cover a few tips on how to cast the Killing Curse. It comes in very handy when muggles are being particularily noisy, specially after having been through the Cruciatus Curse. (both curses usually go hand in hand, unless you are in a hurry of course, then the Killing Curse is more efficient.)

Let's start with the three basic points: the Incantation, Power of Mind and Proper use of the Wand.

1) The Incantation
First of all and perhaps most important: THE SPELLING of the incantation. It is NOT "Aveda kabrada", "Abba Kabreda" or, as the muggles have utterly...

Accio (Summoning Charm) - Latin for "I summon."

Alohomora (Spell that opens locks) - Derived from the Hawaiian "Aloha" meaning "goodbye," and the Latin word "mora," meaning "obstacle."

Amortentia - "Amor" is the Latin word for "love," and "tentia" is derived from "tentare," which means "the handling of," "the making of an attempt," or "the attack on." Hence, "the handling of love," "making an attempt to love," or "the attack on love."

Anapneo (Spell that clears blocked airways) - In Greek, "anapneo" means "I breathe."

Aparecium (Spell that makes invisible ink appear) - From the Latin word...

Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight

posted by SarahRabbit16

I know that this article may rise controversy, but whatever. Harry Potter is better than twilight. Stephenie Meyer didn't become the first billionaire simply by writing books; J.K. Rowling did!!! Harry Potter is just more....just more in every sense. You see, I have read both series-the "twilight" saga as well as the "Harry Potter and..." series. I love them both. But I have read Harry Potter since I was in elementary school, so I'm sorry that Harry Potter rules in taking over my life and making me squeal with excitement. The twilight saga has made me squeal with delight as well, but not as...

Ways To Humiliate, Annoy or Infuriate Ronald Weasley.
(These work best if you are a Slytherin.)
1. “DAYWALKER!”
2. Give him Clearasil wipes for his birthday.
3. Paint his room maroon when he isn’t looking.
4. Tell him Emerson’s considering making a move on Hermione, then look sympathetic and explain that you understand why he’s threatened, Emerson’s so... so...*dreamy sigh*
5. Depending on how badly he takes it and how funny you think it is, repeat number 4 with Harry/Draco/Dean/Michael Corner/Lockhart/Crabbe/Goyle/Snape/Sirius/any random boy or girl from Hogwarts, every few hours.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe buys £3.76 million New York house

posted by e2mma2weasle3

The 20-year-old actor has spent £3.76 million on a building on West 12th Street that was built by a sea captain for one of his daughters in 1847.

It means he now owns a £10 million property empire in the Big Apple as well as a flat in Fulham, west London.

With five bedrooms, Radcliffe’s new town house measures 3,000sq ft and includes a 39ft long garden.

A Sotheby's brochure said: “The property is on one of New York's most picturesque tree-lined landmark cobblestone blocks.”

Radcliffe's first New York purchase was two years ago – a £3.2 million fifth-floor apartment in the SoHo district....

'Harry Potter' Director, Daniel Radcliffe Reveal 'Deathly Hallows' Secrets taken by popstar.com

posted by gossipgirlstar2

The Hogwarts kids aren't getting a summer vacation. Daniel Radcliffe and his crew of young wizards and witches have been jetting across the globe to promote "Harry Potter" film #6 — "The Half-Blood Prince" — and when they return to the U.K., they'll pick up filming the two-part franchise finale, "Deathly Hallows."
Away from the film set, though, and settled into their spree of red carpets and media interviews, the cast and crew were able to reflect on how they plan to bring a rewarding end to the decade-long film series and which "Deathly Hallows" scenes have them sweating under their...

J.K. Rowling reveals her favorite scene from 'Deathly Hallows' taken by veritaserum.com

posted by gossipgirlstar2

J.K. Rowling, author of the popular Harry Potter series, revealed her favorite scene from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel when she contributed to The Birthday Book, published to mark the 60th birthday of the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles.

An excerpt of the contribution is below:

I admit that, at first glance, the extract I've chosen for The Birthday Book might not seem particularly celebratory, given that it has for its subject my hero walking to what he believes will be certain death. But when Harry takes his last, long walk into the heart of the Dark Forest, he is choosing...

mistletoe rose and scorpius

Its Christmas Eve here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I am not happy. A stupid plant took me hostage! I am standing here, in some deserted hallway - alright, maybe its not deserted per say, but it sure as bloody hell looks like it from where I’m standing; and have been standing for the past hour - in a part of the school, I don’t even know where! Stupid Mistletoe. Yes, I, Rose Weasley, have had the misfortune of getting stuck under one of Hogwarts’ famous Mistletoe bunches.

Now I’m guessing your wondering ‘Why are they famous?’, and I’ll tell you. Every year...

Hermione let out a sputter of indignation.
"A pair of...what, excuse me?"
"Well -- you know," said Ron, shrugging. "I'd rather go alone than with -- with Eloise Midgen, say."
"Her acne's loads better lately -- and she's really nice!"
"Her nose is off-center," said Ron.
"Oh I see," Hermione said, bristling. "So basically, you're going to take the best-looking girl who'll have you, even if she's completely horrible?"

Harry Potter plot hole!

posted by Sydney

You always hear people saying there are discrepencies in the Harry Potter books, but I have truly found a plot hole.

It is a major plot hole, I have noticed, in the Harry Potter series...A very serious one.

Everyone's always talking about how much Harry looks like his father, even Hagrid in the first book.

Molly and Arthur were in the order with Harry's parents ie James.

Why didn't Molly recognise Harry at Kings Cross station?

He has the same black, sticking-up hair. And the scar!

And just look at the moment Fred and George told Molly that he was Harry Potter.

My Thoughts On The Fan Reaction To Dumbledore's "Outing"

posted by PotterGal

Ever since J.K.Rowling revealed that Dumbledore was gay on October 19th i've had to question the fact about why this piece of information became
front page news.
Firstly to put my own opinion out, i personally think that this was a very brave thing of JKR to say and whilst i support this statement of hers, it doesn't change my perception of the books. Dumbledore is still the wise, old Headmaster who can make mistakes just like any of us, whom i learned to love over the course of the books.
However, there are many fans who now think that they can "never read the books in the same way again"....

Why sorting quizzes are nonsense and everyone is Gryffindor

posted by Pinnipedi

*Disclaimer: Despite the explosive post title, I actually like the whole idea of the houses as different personalities (and real people as fitting into them) a lot and don't think it's invalid. I just wanted to present a different reading of the houses and what they represent, which I think is equally valid. I also don't actually hate Slytherin and Ravenclaw as houses- so if you are in one of those houses I apologise and hope you can still see what I'm coming at here.*

People seem to be quite fixated on the idea of houses as personality types and get quite hung up over representation/bias for...

Bellatrix X Voldemort WON'T work out

posted by elsafan1010

Bellatrix is so gorgeous, but Voldemort is so ugly :/

Hey! I'm back to writing after a small break. This time, I'm focusing on fandom shipping.

So the half of the articles that I wrote in this club are about shipping. I ship Hermione and Harry, like Hermione and Ron a bit, and find Ginny bad about relationships. I also remember I wrote about Albus X Minerva, and I said they won't work out. Okay, if you have noticed this is all about the hero shipping. What about the villains? They can have a love life too. If you know me, you know I mostly hate villains. But people ship Bella and Voldemort together so much, that I had to share my opinion on it....

Why I don't like Ginny Weasley

posted by elsafan1010

the only weasley I don't like

So I know I'm gonna receive a lot of hatred for this, but I actually dislike Ginny Weasley. I don't hate her, the series are full of characters I cannot relate to or just don't like for some particular reason, for example Cho is one of them.

When I tell someone I dislike Ginny, they start to answer me like this:

"Go read the books!"

This definitely was worse for me. I disliked book Ginny more, and I got it the moment I finished reading the Chamber Of Secrets. She didn't even do anything in the book. It was all Harry saving her and she trembling all the book.

But more, she is wildly overrated in...

All Deaths In Harry Potter Movies

posted by elsafan1010

First of all I should say this are the deaths of the movies, because more people died in the movies then books such as Lavender. I was so sad nearly about all characters! So I'm reviewing their sadnesses and remembering, listing them.

Hedwig

Hedwig is Harry's loyal owl which was a present from Hagrid to Harry for his birthday. He died in Harry Potter and the deathly hallows while everybody drank a potion to look like Harry. The death eaters kicked him out of the way and he fell down from all the meters, never be sawn again. He has a wildly underrated death and Harry shouted "Hedwig," but never...
