Just saw this today, thought you guys might think it was funny.

Is the consensus that the tribunal did in fact conspire to murder Nerevar and make use of the tools?

In game, Vivec claims only to have broken his promise with regard to the latter.

But the sermons of Vivec and much of the commentary I see within the community on the subject seem to indicate a general belief otherwise (that the tribunal did in fact commit 'foul murder').

I also think the mutual 'guilt' both he and Sotha Sil speak of seems a bit too intense for just a broken promise. That looks like they regret killing the dude to me.

What do you guys think?

Forgot to mention - the reason I ask is because I'm trying to decide whether to kill Vivec after Dagoth Ur in my current playth

Does Hagrid no-diff simply by having giant blood?

This is after all a competition where both participants are still magical.

We also know that Hagrid, despite his size, has lost to other legendary drinkers, namely Slughorn.

Trelawney, for all her lack of actual divination skill, does seem to be an undeniably talented drinker. And also more talented when drinking, if the whiffs of sherry in PoA / HBP when she drops her Wormtail and Lightning Struck tower prophecies or the location of her original prophecy are anything to go by.

So these two sit down at the Hog's Head.

Can the savant of sherry slay the goliath of guiness??

Who is the last one standing?

It's the only thing from the mod I want, but I can't seem to find a mod for the teleportation circles etc outside of rebirth, which is a total overhaul (and I only want the one part).

In HBP we see an attempt from Slughorn to edit his memory and hide something from Dumbledore. His efforts are obvious.

I think it is often assumed that this is because Slughorn himself somehow messed up or did this sloppily.

However, we see rather a lot of evidence as the last two books progress that Slughorn is no slouch. If anything, he is rather impressive. We see his skill with transfiguration early on in HBP, learn that he was the former head of Slytherin house, and that he held the position while Tom was at Hogwarts.

Tom himself is said by Dumbledore to have been the most brilliant student ever to pass through Hogwarts. Having shunned Tom himself due to suspicion (perhaps) or preocc

I know that a mother's love is one of the central themes tying all the books together. But here I think is one instance of it where I find it a bit hard to understand.

I imagine that, in a book where priori incantatem was so consequential and relevant to the final outcome, it was one of the things used to determine the guilt of Barty Jr for the prolonged torture of the Longbottoms. They must have more or less known for a fact that he had done what he was accused of doing, horrible as it was. And though it isn't mentioned and Harry doesn't think it, I can see this being one of the reasons Crouch Sr was so cold and immune to his son's cries of terror. He knew. Knew how fake and pathetic it t

Trying to keep this as non-controversial as possible, not making any ethical or value judgements, but merely trying to discuss my thoughts on why wizards might celebrate Christmas or other holidays of that nature, and the presence of quotes from the Bible or uses of God as an interjection or in every day speech, etc.

So here is what I came up with:

I feel like it's important to remember JKRs approach to the convergence of wizarding and muggle culture.

It wouldnt be that wizards were also Christian, or were doing something that Muggles also do in the sense of copying them or being influenced by them.

That isn't how JK writes it. It always goes the other way round.

If and when muggles a

We know Bill was a 'curse breaker' and often sent to work in locations like Egypt etc. prior to being retained by Gringotts (presumably as someone sent to acquire and break any curses remaining on new assets? Do we ever get clarification on that?).

I suppose the rules about destroying them remain the same (fiendfyre, basilisk venom, etc.), but could Bill for instance have helped perhaps with things like finding and entering the cave, or perhaps even neutralized the envious curse magic on the locket, or the ring of Gaunt if Dumbledore had come to him?

If not, just what does a curse breaker do? Am I missing some crucial WoG?

Thoughts on curse breaking as a profession?

We've all seen black dragon Harry or white phoenix Harry or god forbid, the multiform druid Harry with seven different animals.

But what do you think are the most realistic or believable, canon compliant and therefore nonoffensive, animagus forms for Harry?

I kind of like when he just turns out to be a black house cat.

EDIT: Okay so after all the really great answers in this thread I wouldn't mind a good druid!Harry fic where he had multiple forms.

And not just education.

We all know the story of Tom Riddle orphan extraordinaire. And indeed of Harry himself.

But how many abused, neglected wizard children must there be in the world? Hungry, beaten, or worse, and possessed of powers to control, to induce agony or injury, to punish and even kill.

Methinks Harry was something of an anomaly. And we saw the kinds of things young Tom got up to without very much provocation other than want and minor aggressions from other orphans.

So how often must it happen that some muggleborn or orphaned half or pureblood wizard decides to use their magic in this way, with nefarious intent and devastating consequences?

And why would Hogwarts, without h

Return of the Bellatrix?

Snape reincarnated? He finds out Harry named his kid Albus Severus and vows eternal vengeance.

First point here, I love Hermione, she's literally my favorite behind only Harry and Dumbledore.

But I was just thinking about that encounter with Neville where he tries to stop them, and it just seems terrible lol.

Granted, he was trying to stop them. Granted that the spell technically is not harmful.

But...how long did Neville lie there, on the ground, totally paralyzed and unable to do anything but wait to be freed? Hours? The entire night?

No physical injuries, but imagine spending a night lying stiff as a board and completely not able to move even a bit, out on the hard floor of what, basically a huge empty living room?

If not traumatic, at least a very horrible memory.

If I wer

Also: Is it at all associated with the post of potions master?

Is the transfiguration professor, for instance, always head of Gryffindor, or vice versa?

First post had an awful title lol

Reposted:

Harry's parents live through the war...but Ron's do not. And maybe not even any of his brothers? Instead, Dumbledore places him with his hateful aunt Muriel, who while giving him the bare minimum he needs to live and not abusing him too badly, constantly disparages his parents and tells him things like how poor they were, how they had too many kids, etc.

But he finally gets his letter, and when he is dropped off at the platform by his cruel aunt without any instructions about how to actually get through the barrier, it is Lily and James (?) Potter wandering around with Harry and his sister(??) who find him and help him get to Hogwarts.

Harry is
