  The Harry Potter Stars Who Have Asked Fans to “Grow Up” and Move On

  By Dumbledore September 4

  There’s something quite funny about being a Harry Potter fan in 2026. The original films are celebrating 25 years, a brand new HBO series is about to begin, and Harry Potter is everywhere again. Yet some of the actors who actually made those films have spent years trying to explain that, lovely as the experience was, they really have moved on. And when you think about it, you can hardly blame them.   For us, Harry Potter might be something we watched growing up, something we still rewa

  The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened… HBO Has Found Its Dobby, Tom Riddle and Ginny Weasley

  By Dumbledore September 4

  Well, HBO has just opened the door to the Chamber of Secrets, and we’ve got three very interesting new additions to the Harry Potter cast. Lenny Rush has been cast as Dobby, Billy Barratt will play the young Tom Riddle, and Bonnie Hill will take over the role of Ginny Weasley for Season 2.     I think Dobby is probably the announcement that will get the biggest reaction from fans. He is such an important part of Chamber of Secrets, and after Toby Jones gave us that wonderful

  Mark Addy as Hagrid Could Have Been Brilliant… Was HBO’s Casting a Missed Opportunity?

  By Dumbledore September 3

  There’s one piece of HBO’s new Harry Potter casting that I keep coming back to, and the more I think about it, the more it feels like a missed opportunity. Mark Addy was reportedly considered for Hagrid before Nick Frost was cast in the role, and honestly, I can see exactly why fans have started wondering what might have been.     Addy is one of those actors who can bring warmth and humour to a character without making them feel silly. He has that slightly gruff, instantly l

  Harry Potter Fans Have Spotted a Big Problem With HBO’s New Series… and It Could Be Hard to Fix

  By Dumbledore September 3

  The new Harry Potter trailer has barely had time to settle in, and fans are already having a very familiar argument about the HBO series. This time, the criticism isn't really about the new cast, the acting or even the special effects. It is about something much bigger. The new series is supposed to be a fresh adaptation of the books, but some viewers are looking at the trailer and wondering whether it actually looks fresh at all.     The Tab picked up on exactly this reacti

  Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Is Changing in London… and the New Version Will Be Under Three Hours

  By Dumbledore September 3

  There’s a pretty big change coming to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London, and it’s probably going to divide fans. After ten years at the Palace Theatre, the West End production is being reworked into a completely new one part show that will run for under three hours, meaning audiences will be able to experience the entire story in a single visit rather than having to see two separate parts.     The change is being introduced as part of the play’s tenth anniversary c

Food Network announced the news on September 1, with the new season planned for its fourth quarter holiday programming lineup later this year. There isn’t an exact premiere date yet, but the return is particularly fitting because 2026

• What are forums and how do they work?

  ---

  An Internet forum is a discussion area on a website. Website members can post discussions and read and respond to posts by other forum members. A forum can be focused on nearly any subject and a sense of an online community, or virtual community, tends to develop among forum members.

  This type of forum may also be called a message board, discussion group, bulletin board, or web forum, but it differs from a blog, the name for a web log, as a blog is usually written by one user and usually only allows for the responses of others to the blog material. A forum usually allows all members to make posts and start new topics.

  An Internet forum is also different from a chat room. Members in a chat room usually all chat or communicate at the same time, while members in a discussion group post messages to be read by others whenever they happen to log on. Forums also tend to be more topic-focused than chat rooms.

  The separate conversations in a forum are called threads, and they are made up of member-written posts. Members can usually edit their own posts, start new topics, post in their choice of threads, and edit their profile. A profile usually lists optional information about each forum member, such as the city they are located in and their interests.

  We believe this sort of community with a message board is far superior to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Your posts will never be lost, and everyone can join in our conversations.

• The difference between reading the book vs watching the movie

  By Martha Stuart September 14

  So, there's some backstory on why I'm thinking about this. When the Harry Potter books were originally released, I was the target age group, but for complicated personal reasons I didn't read the books. When the movies came out I watched them, and I didn't really connect with them much. Goblet of Fire is one I remember being confused about because the drama stuff comes out of nowhere. So based on that, I didn't understand why people were so drawn in.   Fast forward to recently, I decid

• Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Should Go On Tour

  By Sean Bassett April 11

  Is anyone else surprised there isn't a UK tour of Cursed Child yet?   Currently, if you want to see it, you have to travel to London. A tour seems a no-brainer, as they would make so much money it they visited different venues across the UK.

• Why did Harry consent to Umbridge's detention?

  By unbelievable April 3

  It makes zero sense to me why Harry consented to the detention given by Umbridge. I would have taken the issue up with the Ministry of Magic. As far as I understand, the wizarding judicial system, just like the muggle one, functions on the premise of innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. There was no way for the Ministry to prove that Harry was lying about the graveyard incident, but Harry did have ways of proving that he was telling the truth: truth serum and mind reading

  The Slug Club

  Private Club  ·  5 members  ·  Last active November 19, 2019

  The Slug Club is made up of Horace Slughorn's most well-liked and sometimes famous students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Slughorn, who taught Potions at Hogwarts from the 1920s-1981 and again from 1996-pre 2016, he sought students who were well connected, held fame, and/or showed true promise in some field(s) of magic. These select students were invited to parties (such as the particularly lavish one held on the 20th of December, 1996) where Professor Slughorn would then weed them out further. He was sure to keep in touch with those who "made the cut", even after they had graduated, as they would often provide him with useful information and/or various luxuries.[1]
