This thread is so much fun!
Can I be Draco? I know I’m already Luna but Draco is my favorite character(aside from Luna and the golden trio)
yekke2: Ironically enough, ZeesKite was named Snape before the whole thingy. (See my original post on this thread, first link).
ZeesKite: As everyone involved is being rather cryptic about the whole affair, I don’t really have an opinion as to whether you are guilty or innocent. And though I can only speak for myself, I wouldn’t say the entire CR has been “swayed” against you – just that they don’t really know what to think.
Pas nisht – lo al halechem l’vado yichye ho’odom…
just my hapence-
?
======================
As the self-appointed occasional mashgiach and scold, I’ll be Percy.
I would like to be kreacher.
Oh, and I would like to be Septimus Weasley (Ron’s grandfather), just coz no-one really knows who am I (even the ones that know who I am don’t really know who I am) and I like chess.
I think I can be compared to Stan Shunpike.
ICOT – Thanks!
PBA: That’s actually totally you, except the house-elf part. I think of Kreacher as the house elf equivalent of Snape.
Fluffy the Multiple-headed dog must be Joseph
I think Joseph is more like the Hydra (I’m sure there’s one of them in HP mythology).
and I still say Peeves.
I think I’d like to be Nearly Headless Nick, or maybe Hagrid…
42, and to the uneducated, that is…?
42 – so subtle! v’hamayvin yavin.
Actually as I wrote before I’m not mayvining. I truly hope you’re not insinuating another sludge.
Did I really irk you so much with my presence?
ZK: You can’t really expect him to explain all of Harry Potter al regel achas (lehavdil) do you? 😛

Expelliarmus. ????? ??????
(Feel free to add your own answers to this question. This was just the first I thought of, but I may change it.)
Well, while you’re explaining things, explain me this – why is Harry Potter so much more well-known than Discworld, when Discworld is CLEARLY A BILLION KAJILLION FRILLION TIMES MORE AWESOME THAN ANYTHING JK WILL EVER WRITE ARGGHHHHHH
Oom, why are you ranting? HP appeals to the masses. TP only to the elite. QED
bahhhhh
PBA: I hate Ron The Death Eater stories.
Love is magic. ????? ??????

Rowling wrote for children, Pratchett writes for adults. Getting a child to read anything in the electronic age is a Neis Nigleh.

It is if you show them that attitude. All my siblings and I were prolific readers from a young age, mostly because of our parents’ positive influence.
OOM: Genetics play a role as well.
bah, negligible

i wana be him!! i luv how he talks!!!!
I think I have found a contradiction in the books:
In book 6 we are told (twice) of the exceptions to Gamps Law of Elemental Transfiguration, one of them being Food. However in book 4, Mrs Weasley “slammed a large copper saucepan down on the kitchen table and began to wave her wand around inside it. A creamy sauce poured from the wand tip as she stirred”.
In Book 6, we see the “Aguamenti” Charm to create water. We also (4) see Olivander (when examining Harry’s wand) “made a fountain of wine shoot out of it”.
Dumbledore also manages to conjure “a dusty bottle and five glasses appear in midair. The bottle tipped and apoured a generous measure of honey-coloured liquid into each of the glasses… “Madam Rosmertas finest oak-matured mead”” (Although it could be he somehow summoned the mead from somewhere else, because he himself said it is Madam Rosmertas finest…)
In the Pensieve as well, in book 6, we see a younger Dumbledore having a meeting with “Mrs Cole”, and “her eyes fell upon a bottle of gin and two glasses that had certainly not been present a few seconds before”? (which sounds like Dumbledore conjured them)
I’ve actually wondered about the first two examples…but the two with Dumbledore were probably some type of Summon, not elemental transfiguration.
Bigger question – how on earth could Quirrell have been teaching at Hogwarts before Harry came (and it’s mashma he’s been there a few years) given that in book 6 we discover the DADA job is cursed and no-one can have it for more than a year?
Another contradiction – In book 5, when the Inquisitional Squad are introduced, Malfoy docks points from Ernie McMillan, who protests that prefects cannot dock house points.
However, in Book 2, when Percy catches Ron in Myrtles Bathroom, he docks a point from Gryffindor. How does that work out?
(two possible answers – prefects can only dock points from their own house, which has a shtickle svara; could also be that prefects cannot dock points from other prefects, but can from regular students)
Wasn’t Percy head boy? Is that later?
Maybe there’s another girsa?
42 – he is introduced to Harry in the Leaky Cauldron as the current DADA teacher and Fred and George clearly refer to him as having taught the subject the previous year. Mareh mokom will be provided when I can get hold of a copy.
Trei amorai aliba d’Rowlings?
Poppa – Percy only becomes Head Boy in the beginning of Book 3. He was only a prefect in book 2.
In The Deathly Hallows, Hermione accidentaly leads Yaxley into 12 Grimmauld Place. After this, the trio abandon the house, knowing that after Dumbledore’s death they were all secret keepers, and now Hermione had revealed it to Yaxley — “Even now, he could be bringing other Death Eaters in there by apparition.”
However, in Book 3 when Professor Flitwick explains the Fidelius Charm (secret keeper) he says it is “an immensly complex spell involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul. The information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret-Keeper, and is henceforth imnpossible to find – unless, of course, teh secret-keeper chooses to divulge it. As long as the Secret-Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search the village where Lily and James were staying for years…”
— Apparently, it is only if the secret-keeper divulges it that one can know; even somebody to whom the secret keeper revealed it to cannot divulge. How, then, would Yaxley be able to show the other Death Eaters if he himself was not a Secret Keeper?
DaasYochid – unless there’s a chilfei girso’os between the English and American versions I’m not sure how we get two dei’os in whether or not Quirrell was already the DADA teacher or not…
Book 1 has a contradiction within itself… On the acceptance letter it says that students are allowed a cat, owl, or toad. On the train we’re introduced to Scabbers, a rat.
