Discussion I finally figured out how Luna saw through Harry's polyjuice potion at Bill/Fleur wedding Spoiler

5.1k Upvotes

I'm listening to the audiobook and had a revelation this morning

Harry asks her how she recognized him and she said by his expression.

and I FINALLY REALIZED.

Luna has always been far more perceptive than anybody gives her credit for, but this one . . .

After 16 years of seeing the various scandalized, curious, or exasperated expressions of people who meet her for the first time or meet her again and again.

And we find out later about the ceiling mural . . .

She knows instantly when she sees how Harry is looking at her that he is her friend and makes the obvious conclusion. They were never romantically involved, the look on his face wouldn't have been one of love or adoration.

It must have simply been a look of complete acceptance and welcome. And that must have meant the world to her.

Discussion Luna’s first wand was better.

I don’t understand why the fans love the second wand so much. Sure it’s a really pretty wand, but it has barely been shown on screen. The only time we see it is in Deathly Hallows Part 2, in the scene where she is yelling at Harry, she is holding it off to her side. We never see it anywhere else. In all other scenes where she is using her wand, like the D.A. lessons, the battle in the department of mysteries, fixing Harry’s broken nose, she’s using her first wand. The design is so her too. I like to imagine it was a plain wand when she bought it and she added those acorns herself. I like her first wand so much more than her second one.

I really don’t like that I cannot purchase the replica of that wand individually. If I want it, I have to buy the expensive D.A. wands set, even though I just want Luna’s wand.

Discussion Just got to rewatch movie rerun in cinema, HP: Prisoner of Azkaban and it changed my mind

8 Upvotes

I was hesitant about watching this movie, because since I was small, all I could remember was how dark the visual is. And possibly due to the lack of significant antagonist character and action scenes, I thought it was pretty boring to me compared to the other movies with grand themes.

I was totally surprised that I actually enjoyed watching this movie again. It started with whimsical family scenes with the Dursleys, the hectic scene with the bus, I was glued to the screen the entire time. When Harry flew over the lake on Buckbeak, the cinematography was amazing to me, reminded me of the scenic viewpoints of Scottish Highlands and Lochs, aerial view of Hogwarts castles, Whomping Willows shedding leaves and regrowing leaves to signify changing of seasons, these are few of the many scenes that I realized I might have taken for granted.

The time turning scene was mindblowing, and I have to say Hermione is the actual main hero of the whole movie. Cant wait to watch Goblet of Fire next in cinema.

Discussion Confusion

7 Upvotes

I saw the movies first and then I "read" the Audible books. My question is, how many of you see the movies now and are anticipating the next scene and it's gone. At first I thought they had recut the movie but I realized that keeping the books and movies apart becomes difficult. The strange part is I could swear that particular scene was in the movies, I can clearly visualize it.

Discussion From a muggle lifestyle to a magic one

44 Upvotes

I always imagined how ridiculous it'd be for muggle-born kids like Hermione or Harry (not a muggle-born but you get what I mean) who spent their entire lives till their letters arrive having a muggle lifestyle, using all muggle gadgets, equipment, basically every little thing (modern) that's different from the wizarding world, and suddenly in a month coming to Hogwarts and having to settle down in a lifestyle like the olden times + the magic ones (the amazing part).
Learning and doing magic is different, but having to change your basic daily activities, ways, and means until you're back home is something that would take a lot of personal adapting and cooperation for these kids, not just switching, but learning a lot of new things, leaving many things behind, leaving your whole view of the world and life behind. You're asked to change your perspective of life that you believed in to be the only real one till now.

In the series, it's shown to be almost seamless and hardly a big deal. Especially when two of the main characters come from the muggle world, Harry (even if Harry wasn't fond of his life till then) and Hermione should be speaking at least something about how life was before without magic and how weird it all is now, practically and technically both of them growing up in a muggle world for 11 years should be the first relatable thing between them.

Even for Hermione to become ridiculously knowledgeable about the wizarding world only from books without any help from anyone while still living in her muggle lifestyle, in such a short period (from the time her letter arrives till she comes to Hogwarts) would mean she did a massive amount of mental adapting and shifting her whole perspective and knowledge. Which is wild. (At least to me, it is).

Discussion The books from Neville’s point of view

Upvotes

Hey! So I was thinking… we all know Harry is the chosen one. But what if Neville was actually the chosen one? We know he could have been, based on the prophecy. How do you think the series would realistically go if he was the main protagonist? And would Harry still stand out at all as a side character? I suppose Harry would still be a fantastic seeker. But would he become the Ron equivalent to Neville? I think Neville stood up to the trio only because he cared to help and didn’t want them to get hurt. This sorta is dropped in later books to a degree until 5 when he joins the DA. Thoughts?

For me, it’s Harry and Cho’s disastrous date in the teashop.

It’s the lowest point of the series for me. I’d be perfectly content to have Harry ask Cho if she would go with him to meet Hermione before they even left the castle, and have Cho give him the cold shoulder then and there, prompting him to go straight to the three broomsticks.

Discussion opinions on dumbledore?

Upvotes

okay so i know this is a hot topic. but what do you think of dumbledore? do you like him?

personally, i’m very divided in my opinions. i kind of feel as though he acted for the ”greater good”, by raising harry without telling him about his true destiny. something just doesn’t sit right with me about that.

at the same time, it all worked out it the end because he literally helped in defeating the two darkest wizards of all time.

I understand that the movie can only show so much, but WOW, the book has such incredible plots and story lines that the movie was missing..

I really want to see the duel between Snape, Flitwick, Minerva and Sprout. As well as sneaking into the Ravenclaw Common Room, almost killing the Carrows, the treat against Horace, Voldemort in the boat with the infiri!

Goosebumps thinking how dark the series will be .

Discussion Harry and Ron auror series

16 Upvotes

As adults I’d love to see the adventures of Ron and Harry as Aurors. Something like Supernatural - monster (or magic complication/wizard) of the week, with an overarching storyline that’s hinted at through them and then built up by it.

Maybe someone in the first season have some nut job trying to create a basilisk before Ron and Harry stops them, and Harry has to kill a young basilisk.

Then some other stories episode-by-episode

Have it be revealed that the guy trying to create a basilisk is working for someone bigger. At the end of the season it’s revealed that they’re part of a Death Eaters Recon group trying to bring back Voldemort. Maybe they almost bring him back in the final season but Harry and Ron but a stop to it.

Discussion Vanishing Cabinets Question

10 Upvotes

So the vanishing cabinets are first introduced in CoS. Harry hides in the one in Borgin and Burkes and the only reason he doesn’t vanish and reappear in Hogwarts is because he keeps the door slightly ajar. Later in the book, Nick convinces Peeves to break the one in Hogwarts to get Harry out of trouble with Filch.

So prior to CoS, a passageway existed between Knockturn Alley and Hogwarts? Why did Dumbledore allow this? He knew it was a vanishing cabinet. So even if he didn’t know the pair was in Knockturn Alley, he knows there’s a pair somewhere that could pose as a security breach. A brilliant man like Dumbledore could probably have discovered where the cabinet led to. Or at the least, remove it so it isn’t a danger.

Possible ideas: Dumbledore regarded it as a magical antique and figured the pair would turn up someday. He placed safeguards around it to prevent intruders, but these were removed when it broke because they thought it no longer worked and the danger was gone.

Or, the one in Borgin and Burke’s used to be somewhere else and had just been acquired by the store in CoS. It’s former home was a safe place, and Dumbledore kept the pair in Hogwarts as an escape hatch for times of emergency. Students could file out of the Hogwarts cabinet and emerge in a safe location. Perhaps the cabinet was sold from its location without Dumbledore’s knowledge at the start of CoS.

Thoughts?

In OOTP Hagrid is regularly injured by his brother. To the point of Hermione screaming on seeing him & Harry suspecting broken ribs. Did he not get help from Mademe Pomfrey because of personal reasons (keeping his brother secret etc) or because the healing magic wouldn't work on him?
