I mark myself a Slytherin. Yepp, I a dit it and I feel no shame.

After all, we can't say that all of them are bad. (Regulas Black, and Severus Snape being notable examples.) as well as Narcissa Malfoy and Horace Slughorn (the fun, jolly fellow he is)(As noted in comments)

Its just a house with a bad rap, because of a few bad people.

Saying all Slytherins are evil would be like saying Germany is an evil, and horrible country JUST because Adolf Hitler originated there.

My personal opinion is that, yes some Slytherins went as bad as toi could go, but others just got wrapped up in the "misconceptions."...

Mary Sues

posted by PiiXiiE

Ok, yesterday I answered a question in the "Answers" area asking "Do toi think Ginny is a Mary Sue?" and it got me thinking. Here is my answer.

No, I do not think Ginny Weasley is a Mary Sue. For one, I don't think she is "too ostentatious for the audience's taste, ou that the auteur seems to favor the character too highly." In my point of view, other than the fact that Ginny ends up with Harry, she really doesn't seem to be favoured. I don't know very much about J.K. Rowling as a person, but again, apart from the fact that they are both female, nothing jumps out at me that would indicate that...

peppermint toads

posted by dannylynn92

Ingredients
frog ou toad chocolat Candy mold
white chocolat Candy melts
peppermint Candy flavoring oil
(chocolate chips ou other chocolate)

Instructions
toi can use nourriture coloring to make the white Candy melts any color you'd like, since green would be appropriate. Since I had so much brown chocolat already, I decided my Peppermint Toads would be white.
Melt the white chocolat according to the instructions.
Use a toothpick to add peppermint oil drop par drop until toi have the desired taste. Be careful, since the peppermint oil is VERY strong!
Spoon the flavored chocolat mixture into the Candy mold and let harden in the refrigerator.
When solid, pop out your toads and add the eyes with a small paintbrush and melted chocolat chips.
These can be frozen, just thaw before serving.

Romione Fanfiction

posted by Hermione-Fan361

Guys, this is for those of toi who enjoy reading/support Ron&Hermione Pairing.

Sixth Year
Hermione's POV

Oh, I wanted to coup de poing her. Right then and there, and shove her to the floor for good measure. I'm talking about Lavender Brown, who had her lips pressed against the one person I loved enough to feel immediate hatred for her. Ron. I wanted to do horrible things to her. Instead, I stood there in shock, tears welling up in my eyes. Harry turned to face me, and I turned away, running towards my dormitory. I slammed the door, which made not even a dent in the sound that was coming from downstairs....

~Thank toi Harry Potter~

posted by Wolfdreamer9

Once upon a time there was a wonderful story called Harry Potter. The story was not thousands and thousands of hours long, it was not prejudice ou demanding, nor boastful ou self-righteous. In fact, it was a simple story. It was a tale of an orphaned boy who thought he was alone in the world, and destined to be so forever. He soon discovered that friendship, l’amour and family were waiting for him at an odd little place called Hogwarts. His Friends and his foes fought valiantly through seven years of school, discovering that weaknesses could be overcome and strength could be encouraged through...

Whenever my teacher used to say that we've to write an essay on our favori hobby, i used to get furious coz i never knew what my fav hobby was? I was not content with this and i always got low marks in écriture this essay. What's the thing that i always loved to do, i always thought about that.Until Harry Potter came into my life at the age of 13. i read about it jour n night. I always talked about it and was very proud of my hobby. Whenever a new student came to our classroom i never forgot to ask him/her if he/she read harry potter ou was a potter head.

films vs livres ( For ANNIK )

posted by emilykuru

this is for Annik who asked a question in the réponses forum. since it is too big, i'm posting it here.

here u go Annik. this is for your assignment. hope it helps you. if u like this, then vote for my short answer there in the place toi asked your question.

The choosing of actors in most films have been very apt and its very original in the harry potter movie especially. When toi look at harry in the movie toi can very well know that he is brave, determined and a guy who has faced many troubles.

Rupert clearly portrays Ron who is a very easy going friend of harry. Ron also is an innocent character...

Name Origins

posted by vanillaicecream

Characters

Aberforth - In Gaelic, it means "from the river." It is also the name of a small corporation in Edinburgh.
Ambrosius Flume - As the founder of Honeydukes, his first name most likely comes from the word "ambrosia," which is especially sweet and delicious. A "flume" is a "narrow tunnel" that usually has something flowing through it. Combining the names, he can be seen as a supplier of sweets. Coincidentally, there is also an underground tunnel that connects Hogwarts and Honeydukes.
Abraxas (Malfoy) - The supreme Gnostic Deity. Had the body of a man, the head of a cock, and serpents...

Boggart Snape

"So the boggart sitting in the darkness within has not yet assumed a form. He does not yet know what will frighten the person on the other side of the door. Nobody knows what a boggart looks like when he is alone, but when I let him out, he will immediately become whatever each of us most fears."
—Professor Lupin to his Third an class in 1993[src]

Boggarts are particularly fond of inhabiting certain places that are dark, such as in wardrobes, the gap beneath beds, and the cupboards under sinks and desks. On at least one occasion, a boggart was found hiding in a grandfather clock.

I heard Fred explaining the Ton-Tongue Toffees to Harry, so I went into the kitchen. MY two older brothers, Bill and Charlie, were sitting at the table, tableau with George and Ron.

"Awesome." I said, pointing to Bill's fang earring as I walked by.

"As always." He winked.

I heard a little 'pop' and Dad appeared, yelling at Fred for dropping the candy.

"That WASN'T funny, Fred!! What on EARTH did toi give that muggle boy?!?!"

A Call to Arms

posted by shieldmaiden

I knew it was coming, this day. This jour where the pilfered garbage known to much of the world as the Twilight saga would beat out all the other franchises, including Batman, Lord of the Rings, and, of course, our fandom of Harry Potter. According to a recently published Yahoo article, New Moon is accounting for 94% of Fandango and Movieticket.com's ticket sales as of now. This is highly disturbing, montrer that humanity cannot even recognize good literature and film even when its presented to them on a silver platter, these of course being Harry Potter, the Dark Knight, and The Lord of the...
