Why is their a lined field in quidditch


There are gun laws in the wizard world just like the UK

Why does Sirius mention that Snape should go play with his chemistry set?

Why did Michael Gambon shout "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire?"

Great thread. I have more ideas

That Pooh Bear. What the hell? There’s no such thing as a stuffed animal that can actually walk and talk! That’s some freaky Chucky shite when you think about it. And his friend is a Pig and Tiger? Ridiculous. Tigers and Bears are APEX predators man!

And what about that Fresh Prince? Guess he was just before his time playing basketball on that MINIATURE goal? Who do you think you’re fooling?

And what’s with that bullshite in LOTR? Everyone knows John Rhys Davies is 6’1” and Orlando Bloom is only 5’11”. Completely KILLS the suspension of disbelief. Get him a box?

Aaahhhh. So many more. Movies suck

The reason why there’s not a major issue with guys raping girls using magic spells is that wizards don’t think about sex the same way we do.



Or cause they have a room at Hogwarts where you can go to if you require a bunch of sexbots...

Honestly, I think this is an easy answer. After the final book and defeating Voldemort permanently, I would guess Harry wanted out of the spotlight as much as possible. It would be a magic media frenzy and the wizard who defeated Voldemort was playing for the World Quidditch Cup. He already hated when people recognized him.

I think it's simpler than that. The quidditch governing body realized how dumb the snitch was, and they abolished it. Fans around the wizarding world celebrated the elimination of the worst rule in sporting history. Harry simply had no ambition to play the other roles once seeker was eliminated.

The Law of Conservation of Mass really gets abused in the magic world. It might hold up in potions, but not spells. Spells should have an energy drain on the spellcaster. So fat wizards should be more powerful than skinny ones.

Winnie and his friends were all Christopher Robins‘ toys and were a part of his imagination, so no, not a flaw.

The stairs in the Gryffindor common room going to the girls dorms literally turns into a slide if boys try to go up it so they can’t get in and it doesn’t if girls go to the boys. Seems like the boys have the same horny arse problems to me.

shite gets super powerful too if left to mature, Ron’s brush with that potion when Ramilda was trying to frick Harry was batshit crazy.

Should’ve sent Dumbledore from the start to get him, just makes sense


Dumbledore wasn’t all there, his plans were pretty garbage, I mean his plan to beat Voldemort was hopefully Voldemort kills Harry after maybe all the horcruxes were found, then maybe someone will kill him hopefully.

Here’s another one. In the 7th book Harry uses three wands at once and makes an extra strong Stupefy curse with seemingly no side effects to him.

Why don’t other wizards battle with multiple wands if they can increase the strength of spells?

When you try to make sense of magic is why you are a muggle. Magic in the HP verse is not suppose to make sense. They stated that many time in the HP books. It was driving Hermonine up the wall.
