I will miss Richard Griffiths very greatly. He was a fantastic actor and a great loss. He did an awesome job bringing Vernon Dursley to life the way he did.

Sometimes his true warmth peeked through, as in that one neat scene in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone where he is talking about Sundays being a ‘fine day’ and asks why that is; Harry Melling’s Dudley shrugs his shoulders. Daniel’s Harry asks him if the reason was because there was no post on Sundays, and Richard momentarily dropped the Vernon persona and beamed warmly at him, replying with “Right bạn are, Harry” before going on in a far jollier fashion than his character Vernon usually portrayed — that is, until the hundreds of Hogwarts letters began to pour into the house.

I bet that deep down, unlike Vernon, Richard liked imagination and magic. Plus, from my perspective, if Vernon was real, Richard would’ve also taken the time to give Vernon a lecture on how an uncle should treat a nephew — especially if the nephew, like Harry, happened to be a wizard. :)

Rest in peace, Richard. As bạn go on, be sure to take our tình yêu with bạn when bạn head off into, as Albus Dumbledore put it, ‘the tiếp theo great adventure’. :’)

From my perspective, he will always be Uncle Vernon Dursley to us Harry Potter fans. He really brought Vernon to life, and, when the cameras stopped rolling, he was also đã đưa ý kiến to have được trao Daniel Lời khuyên and humor when it came to pretending to be someone different from bạn on the big screen.

I was asked to do this bởi lorythefangirl after I responded to her earlier one.

Pros
1. Most of them did believe they were choosing the winning side at the time
2. They would likely be killed if they refused, hoặc otherwise punished.
3. If they come from old pureblood families which share the Death Eaters' beliefs, joining up would help maintain family harmony
4. If they're naturally malicious it gives them an opportunity to kill and torture

Cons
1. Most people wouldn't want to be forced to murder. They might be pushed beyond their own limits, e.g. Draco Malfoy.
2. They'd get imprisoned in Azkaban if caught, hoặc could be killed in self-defence
3. Leaving isn't an option once you're in
4. After they lost, those who'd survived would lose favour even if they avoided punishment
5. Voldemort doesn't seem to be a nice boss
6. It's a story really, and in most stories, the bad guys do end up losing and being punished.
[Chapter 2] Diagon Alley: Ferrets and Pranks

The tiếp theo few weeks just flew by. Maybe it was because I had something to look phía trước, chuyển tiếp to. Hermione and Ginny had been nghề viết văn regularly. All of Hermione's letters were about how much we would have to do as N.E.W.T. students. She had scored eight 'Outstandings' and an 'Exceeds Expectations' and was still disappointed! That girl...she is just...extraordinary! Ron and Harry had done fairly well, failed only in two subjects. They seemed to be having fun at the Burrow, the four of them. Then Ginny đã đưa ý kiến that Phlegm spoilt all the fun. At least they were...

201. I will not melt if water is poured over me.
202. -Neither will Professor Umbridge.
203. I do not have a Cyberman Patronus.
204. I am not a Wirn animagus, either.
205. I will not ask Aragog if he came from Metabelis III.
206. -Or if he has any pretty blue crystals.
207. "Nessie is actually a cyborg created bởi the Zygons" is not an appropriate thing to say in Care of MagicalCreatures Class.
208. While it is appropriate to refer to Voldemort as "Master" while in his service, Voldemort and The Master are not one and the same.
209. I cannot substitute Prydonian robes for my Hogwarts uniform.
210. -Nor...

The world around me was covered in a blanket of white. The magnificent trees towered over me making me feel small…so small. In spite of the snow on the ground and the surrounding areas, I didn’t feel cold. Apparently, I was somewhere near the Shrieking Shack, but that was forbidden! What I was I doing there, I do not know. As I examined the place, I saw a tall figure at a distance. He was clad in black, such a contrast to the surroundings. His skin was pale too, almost as white as the snow. He reached out his left hand towards me and I mimicked his action subconsciously. When I did so,...

Floo powder was invented bởi Ignatia Wildsmith in the thirteenth century. Its manufacture is strictly controlled. The only licensed producer in Britain is Floo-Pow, a company whose Headquarters is in Diagon Alley, and who never answer their front door.

No shortage of Floo powder has ever been reported, nor does anybody know anyone who makes it. Its price has remained constant for one hundred years: two Sickles a scoop. Every wizard household carries a stock of Floo powder, usually conveniently located in a box hoặc vase on the mantelpiece.

The precise composition of Floo powder is a closely guarded...

I awoke the tiếp theo morning to pandemonium.

''I CAN'T FIND MY DADA BOOK! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!''

As usual, Aimee wasn't prepared for the start of term. ''Just relax, Aimee, we'll find it.''

We searched the Dormitory, under beds, on beds, between blankets.. but no book.

''How could I lose it? I have DADA first this morning!''

''Just borrow one from the cabinets and order a new one, I dunno! It's obviously not here.''

Aimee was being grumpy now. ''I'll just write trang chủ and see if I forgot it..'' She grumbled.

When we finally got all our stuff, Lizzie, Aimee, and I went into the Great Hall for...

I've seen the HP films thêm times than I can count but there are still some things that are hard to notice until you're like, "bajillianth" time watching the movies. I had an HP movie marathon recently, and I was so surprised bởi all the things I'd missed. Here are some that I noticed. (By the way, I didn't notice all of these--I don't think anyone could notice all this just bởi themselves--I only noticed some of them, and afterwards my Những người bạn told me some things they noticed, to help with this article)

This text is not meant as critisism to anyone, but only to ponder how much wizards/witches really differ from muggles, and how much of it is only a trick of mind.

In HP related discussions and wikipedia sites, there are often speculations and thoughts painting the magical folk as thêm different from us than they actually are. I think such habit comes from how the sách give a extreme general image; as if the two groups of people had some sort of basic difference with their entire existance.
And I think that somewhat misleading image comes from how no one of the main character trio grew up in...

Is this ridiculous hoặc what? And will bạn help?

( This is mostly for people who go on and have heard of the site called Fanfiction.net. My friend asked me to do this )

The door to the empty building slammed closed as the edge of the áo choàng as dark as the night it travelled in whipped through the gap. The owners in the flat above never even realising that someone had passed through their shop. The normally crowded village was empty and dark; the only lights were the result of a few of the still open pubs....

Yep.You HP những người hâm mộ know the moment Im talking about.You know,that moment when Hedwig's Theme played for the last time,when bạn wanted to cry and cheer,scream and weep at the same time...that time bạn knew it was ending yet refused to accept it.That moment,when all the boundaries vanished,when we all rose together from different places,from different countries,we all came together,clapping,smiling and crying at the same time.That was the moment when we found that,nothing has really changed,despite everything that has.Amidst the thunderous applause and the shouts and cries in the theater all,we knew that there has never been anything like Harry Potter.And there never will be..and that the oak doors of Hogwarts will always lung lay, swing open to us in welcome...
