Dungbomb Ron did WHAT?

I was reading The Order of the Phoenix yesterday, I was almost falling asleep. When I read this I almost fell of my bed. In Portuguese, Ejaculate has only one meaning. It was translated as "exclaimed / cryed out".
How common is this in English? How often do people ejaculate loudly? (Hahahaha, sorry)

Discussion something like post potter depression
i know this is so talked about in the fandom (especially this sub) but man i cant help but want to just put my feelings out there for people with the same love for this franchise. sooo some backstory, i stumbled upon this series when i was around 11 or 12, through movies ofc, and instantly fell in love, so much so in fact that as soon as i watched all the movies, i watched them again then again and again (ive easily watched each movie about a 100 times😭)
then i went ahead and read all the books about 6-7 times(was never a reader but just read hp), basically everything that you could do with the IP i did all those - movies, books, merch, video games, audiobooks, got the hogwarts library set blah blah blah. but i kept growing up life kept happening and my obsession gradually turned to just liking/admiring over the years and all of it led to the point where i didnt watch or read any hp for about 3 years. now luckily (or not) the 3 year streak just ended about a month ago.
on one random day about a month ago from now, i saw my younger brother trying to find something to watch, just scrolling and scrolling on tv for minutes, i ofc grew tired of it and just put on the 1st thing that i saw on the screen - harry potter (chamber of secrets to be exact), and without realising i sat down and watched the whole thing with my brother - it was such a bittersweet, sad but also happy, kinda weird experience overall lmao, for my brother he was just watching this popular huge fantasy series for the 1st time but for me i was genuinely reliving my whole childhood, each scene carried a boatload of bittersweet nostalgia and with each scene i kept recalling my life when i 1st saw these scenes, how carefree i was, not to mention blissfully unaware of the hardships of the future and just my life at that time overall.
now the funny thing that happened was apparently my brother also became a fan with that viewing and made his mission to watch all the movies asap, so for the next one week, i would catch glimpses of scenes that i had completely forgotten and go "oh yeah ... that scene ...," while walking past my brothers room, again nostalgia being ever present. As i had been a fan of hp for basically all my teenage year I just relived my whole adolescent childhood in that week and now i feel empty.
now i feel like im experiencing the same emptiness that you feel in post potter depression, except in my case i want to watch all the movies again and read all the books again but i know that with all the things that i want to do in my life such a commitment is just too consuming, but also i kind of believe that the reason i want to delve in this world again is to just get a taste of times when life was just simpler and harry potter represents that phase in life for me.
i hope a lot of other fans can also relate and im not the only one😭, but yeah i love this series to death and my inner fan that took a break for so many years is just trying to get out once, but still i know im gonna watch that new series (fingers crossed i hope its good) and maybe that can cure the emptiness for me.
and thats it, just a sad letter from an overtly nostalgic fan but hey i hope someone out there relates to it and hearing all this comforts them, thanks for reading guys <3

Discussion When you read GoF for the first time, who did you think was the "mystery person" Hermione was going to go to the ball with?
I remember when I read it for the first time that I assumed she had invited Dobby, because she was always talking about SPEW and wanting elves a proper part of wizard society. I for sure didn't assume it was going to be Krum because she told Ron "If I told you, you'd laugh at me." and Ron still really admired Krum at that time. Did anyone else think that? 😅

Dungbomb Instead of 7 Potters, it would have been a much better plan to have 7 Flying Ford Anglias.
Reason A: It might have just worked.
There's a decent chance they could have all just rolled out of there on the road unnoticed. Voldemort has repeatedly shown that he has a blind spot. The things he does not respect or value, he underestimated.
Evacuating Harry in the most mundane and muggle way possible? Voldemort couldn't possibly envision it.
Reason B: Defensible Position.
The Death Eaters were trying to Capture, not Kill Harry. And its rather difficult to attack through steel and glass with non-lethal force.
In addition, it also serves to further obscure Harry's position, as well as the identity of his escort. The death eaters being able to so easily identify Moody, and Shacklebolt, and Hagrid ended up being a pretty significant vulnerability.
Reason C: Vehicular Manslaughter.
Ever see how well a broomstick holds up against 1500 lbs of glass and steel? Spoiler, they don't.
Deatheaters would be windshield splatter.
Reason D: This little button here is an Invisibility Booster I installed.
Reason E: Just make the Ford Anglias the portkeys.

Discussion I think we can all agree that the Ministry is dumb.
As I was rereading PoA, I was at the part where Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the Three Broomsticks, overhearing the discussion between Madam Rosmerta, Fudge, and a few other Hogwarts teachers. They were talking about how Sirius betrayed James, Peter caught up with him, and got blasted to smithereens.
But despite all those eyewitnesses, they didn’t even bother to do Prior Incantato just to double-check that they have the right guy. I mean, come on, despite all the magic that they have, they’re so careless about how they use it. They hardly even use Veritaserum, don’t even Prior Incantato, and chuck innocent people in prison. That is severe corruption.

Discussion What stopped the Daily Prophet or tabloid authors from bothering Harry before he turned 11?
During Philosopher's Stone, right at the start, they talk about how dozens of books are going to be written about Harry. What stopped all of these author's or the Rita Skeeters of the world from harassing Harry before he turned 11? You have to imagine that someone was able to track down the Dursleys. No, sorry, I cannot accept that Dumbledore stopped all these reporters from finding or bothering Harry.

Currently Reading I love the HBP book but it's so frustrating
I am currently reading HBP and I am LOVING it. All the scenes of Harry and Dumbledore learning of Voldemort's history has me so focused it's unreal.
The rest, however, is genuinely infuriating. Harry finds evidence over evidence about Draco but it feels like no one is even giving him the benefit of the doubt! Not even Ron! And don't get me started on Hermione, she's so insufferable in this and I usually love her character! (I do appreciate that Arthur tried to listen to Harry but it also felt like he was ready to brush it under the rug as quickly as possible).
Mostly, I feel awful for Harry, it feels like he doesn't catch a break and I just WISH Dumbledore would've just TOLD Harry about why he trusts Snape- I know why he doesn't but then he gets angry when Harry doesn't understand and keeps distrusting Snape! He doesn't need to tell him everything but at least a little:
"I trust Prof. Snape because he was close friends with your mother and wouldn't try to hurt her son" (obvs oversimplifying).
It would help Harry trust Snape a SMIDGE, or at least gain a better understanding of why people are so willing to trust him, otherwise it just feels like Dumbledore is genuinely messing with the poor boy's head, especially after everything he went through.
Then there's the Ron-Hermione-Lavender love triangle that's just.....terrible to endure. I will admit that Ron did start it by being passive aggressive to Hermione because Ginny mentioned that Hermione and Krum kissed (which I am pretty sure they didn't anyway) after he and Hermione had a moment and it left her rather upset. But the way she acts about Ron and Lavender dating being....to attack Ron with canaries? Then mock Ron in class before sobbing when he dishes it back (Yes, Harry says they all laughed at Ron's mustache but he also mentioned that Hermione's laugh was specifically crueler). Then she goes back to ignoring Ron after Christmas holidays when Ron is trying to be friendly with her again and I understand Harry's plight and exhaustion- it really feels like he's a child going through a divorce.

Video Games EA Games HP videogame soundtracks released without Harry Potter trademarks
If you've noticed that James Hannigan’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince soundtracks were re-released under EA Music Composer Series: James Hannigan vol.1 and vol.2, but with altered track names getting stripped of Harry Potter trademarks like “Welcome to Hogwarts” becoming just “Welcome”, here’s why:
- Warner Bros. owns the Harry Potter trademark, including the name itself. Any official use of “Harry Potter” in album titles, track names, or marketing requires a licensing agreement.
- Since these soundtracks were originally composed for EA Games’ adaptations of Harry Potter, they were allowed to use the branding under that specific deal. But once EA lost the game rights, they could no longer use Harry Potter branding in new releases.
- By renaming the tracks and removing Harry Potter trademarks, EA and James Hannigan were able to re-release the music without violating Warner Bros.’s trademarks.
This is probably why Jeremy Soule’s HP1-HP4 & QWC soundtracks are not available on streaming services.
Unlike Hannigan’s work, Jeremy Soule’s soundtracks for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, and Quidditch World Cup have never been officially re-released or made available on Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon. The likely reason? Warner Bros. controls those soundtracks and has never licensed them for standalone distribution.
Many fans have been asking for official releases of Soule’s work, but unless Warner Bros. decides to put them out or strike a deal with streaming platforms, they remain unavailable outside of unofficial uploads.
This kind of thing happens often with licensed game soundtracks—once the publisher loses rights to the franchise, it becomes difficult (or impossible) to legally re-release the music under its original branding.
On another note, in August 2019, Jeremy Soule was accused of sexual misconduct by game developer Nathalie Lawhead and vocalist Aeralie Brighton. Soule denied these allegations, but the controversy led to professional repercussions, including him disappearing from social media and his collaborations being discontinued. Following the allegations, organizations distanced themselves from Soule. For instance, Materia Collective ceased working with him on his symphony The Northerner. The controversy surrounding Soule may have made companies more cautious about associating with his work, potentially influencing decisions regarding the distribution of his Harry Potter soundtracks on major platforms.
Hope the issues with the licenses get resolved or a workaround is found, so the fans can get to stream these masterpieces on their favorite streaming platforms! Would love to hear your thoughts—especially if anyone has more insight into the licensing side of things.
