While Snape did all of that, he still bullied children. He teased a girl for having big teeth, he was absolutely horrible to Neville :sad:


I think that it was all part of the act. He was head of house slytherin after all and did secretly like Lilly so he decided from an early age to protect Harry. Sure, he went overboard but no one would have ever suspected Dumbledore and Snape working together

I really want to go to the Harry Potter studio tour in London :frown:

If only I were rich and didn't hate crowds :daydreaming:


I want to go too, I've not been in London in 15 years, it's on my to-do list.

Hmm, overboard or not, it was cruel. And I guess he hated Neville because Neville could have been the Chosen One, but to terrify the kid so much that his Boggart is Professor Snape? Honestly, that's cruel af

Neville was a bit of a snowflake though. I think he really needed to show that he is evil. Because then, if people didnt vision him as such an evil person, no one would believe that he killed dumbledore. He was surrounded by rich slytherin families like the Malfoys who were loyal to voldemort
My favourite book was the Goblet of Fire, mainly due to Bulgarian almost winning the QWC :ahee:
House: Ravenclaw
Patronus: Black and white cat
Ilvermoney House: Pukwudgie
Wand: Alder wood with a dragon heartstring core, 11 ¾" and slightly springy flexibility

Neville a snowflake? Neville has the biggest character development in the entire series! :redface: He goes from a wimp who is unsure of himself, in his parents' Auror skill shadow, into a brave, loyal, fierce badass who survives the Sorting Hat burning him and kills Nagini. He also ran Dumbledore's Army during his seventh year, and he stood up for himself, to his friends. He is so not a special snowflake :laugh:

Goblet of Fire is hands down the best in my opinion. I can understand if Order of the Phoenix was anyones favourite too.

At the start, yeah, but he was bullied by staff, by his grandmother, of course that knocks your confidence!

What I would've wanted is for Harry and Luna to get together for some reason. They seemed prefect together in half blood Prince!!

Prisoner of Azkaban, followed by Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince (but not HBP movie plot. Absolutely stunning movie to look at though). Personally find GoF my least favourite.

Wow fair enough, I found the level of depth was really taken to another level in Goblet of Fire so I really enjoyed it. It's been over 10 years but Order Of The Phoenix was also great. Dumbledore dying was one of the few times I've cried reading a book but the end was the only really solid part of HBP for me.

GoF dragged out a little for me, sadly. Although I do enjoy the detail. :yep: What I like about HBP is how dark the series suddenly turns. Like it is before, but it becomes rather serious. And the full introduction to Horcruxes is great
House: Hufflepuff
Patronus: Bat
Wand- Chestnut wood, Phoenix feather, 10 ¾" ,Unyielding flexibility


Favourite Book- Order of the Phoenix (not bothering with films as they were ****)
Favourite Character- Dumbledore

Ilvermorny is the American wizarding shool, and there's four houses much like Hogwarts. Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird and Wampus. Horned Serpent represents the mind and favours scholars, Pukwudgie the heart and favours healers, Thunderbird the soul and adventurers, and Wampus the body and warriors. Although they do no correspond with the Hogwarts houses I think Horned Serpent is closest to Ravenclaw, Pukwudgie Hufflepuff, Thunderbird Gryffindor and Wampus Slytherin.

I don't ever recall reading about those? Or was it in a seperate book.
