MEANINGS OF HARRY POTTER CHARACTER NAMES

posted by Thecharliejay

HOGWARTS STAFF
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...

Why I Don't Like Molly Weasley

posted by zanhar1

To start I would like to say that I am not posting this to be mean or start any fights. I'm posting this because a lot of people ask me why I don't like her or simply assume it's only because I like Bellatrix, and I want to clear this up. Plus I'd rather just post a link to this article rather than explain it every time someone asks.

Anyways, the first and biggest problem I have with Molly is (yes the obvious one lol, I'll get it out of the way first) that she killed Bellatrix. I do respect her motives, her kid's life was on the line. But I still don't like it. I also don't like how she called...

Why Harry Potter will never be Remade

posted by Persephone713

Okay, I seriously wasn't going to go here but I feel the need to express my opinion a little further. So I have heard some of you say " The Harry Potter series will be re-made to keep up with time, or keep the legend alive". That is fine that you have that opinion, but I only have one or two questions. You don't think the movie series will live on as a classic. Its the top earning movie series in the world, not counting inflation. It has the best British cast in the world. Besides I think Hollywood avoids remakes if they can unless they are trying to make quick money. And if they do remake...

Everything that was wrong with HP and the Half-Blood Prince!

posted by xilovemrmonkeyx

WARNING Total spoilers for lastest film. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT!!!

I just saw Half-Blood Prince and entertainment wise it's proberly the best so far - so go see it! It has one of the funniest HP scenes ever (Harry taking Felix potion).
BUT it was also the worst in terms of missing information and missing scenes. I'm holding out for DH though as i figured that they purposely missed out stuff in order to bulk up those two films. So here is my list of things that truly annoyed me about the film.

1. This one actually counts in at least the last 3 films. Dumbledore just isn't Dumbledore!...

My Thoughts On Bella's Pregnancy

posted by zanhar1

By now I feel like most people know about and have formed opinions on Delphi and the details surrounding her birth. I know I definitely have and I thought I'd share them.

I'll just put it right out there; hell yeah I'm glad it happened! I know that there are a lot of people who hated the fact that Bellatrix had a kid--and believe me I do understand why, I'll get to that in a bit. But I personally was really excited. I saw the leaked script back in June (or so) and I hoped quite feverishly that it wasn't a hoax. Because the Lord knows that I'm happy that Bellatrix's legacy will live on through...

Prisoner of Azkaban Fan-Fic Chapters 3-5

posted by ScarOfTheWind

Sorry About this I actually published the whole thing so far previously but removed it because it was too long so I will be putting up 3 chapters at a time from now on.

This is only temporary and the beginnings of a MASSIVE fan fic. So can you just tell me if you like it? That would be great! :)

DISCLAIMER - I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I do own Alex, though.

Note - It’s based on a sort of mixture between the book and the movie, but the characters’ appearances and personalities are more like the adaptions in the movie.

J.K. Rowling goes Beyond the Epilogue

posted by Thecharliejay

J.K. Rowling goes Beyond the Epilogue
[info from various sources including MSNBC and USA Today]

J.K. Rowling has announced in new interviews with the Today show on NBC TV today (July 26) that the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was vague on purpose.

She said it was her desire for it to be "nebulous," something "poetic," and that she wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9 3/4 through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not.

She admitted her original epilogue was "a lot more detailed," including the name of every child born to...

Loving The Enemy Ch.1

Dropping The Babies Off
The darkness fell over the old city as another day has passed. In the distance,beyond where no one could see,an old man in robes w talked down the crooked street. He seemed very busy and concentrated. When he was in the middle of the path,he took a silver machine about the size of a baseball. He clicked it several times,making the street lights disappear.
Once he finished,he heard a small meow from a tabby cat that sat at his feet. "I should have expected you to be here. Professor McGonagall.",He smiled. The tabby c as t suddenly transformed into an old woman. About the...

Harry Potter & Twilight are not comparable

posted by thenovelguy

What is it with all of the comparison typed content all over the internet between Twilight and Harry Potter?

Well I suppose they can be compared by their levels of success--but not really--harry potter is on another level.

And as a story, it's like comparing a coloring book to a good novel. Apples and oranges people.

In Harry Potter JK Rowling creates a whole other universe for readers to lose themselves in. Stephanie Meyer on the other hand has just slapped together a barely readable teenage fantasy.

RL. Stines Goosebumps books are more engagnig that Twilight for Pete's sake.

I have watched one of the Twilight movies and didn't find it enjoyable at all. What is so enjoyable about watching an ungrateful teenage protagonist that does little more than moan and complain? Nothing.

5th Year, Not-So-Perfect Chapter 2 (Or the sequel to *Untitled*)

posted by peppergirl30

I wish it could stay like this forever. But sadly, it can't. In two days, I'm going to go to school and leave behind my parents, all my relatives, really. I always hated going back to school, but not for the reason most kids did. I actually liked to learn, the thing that upset me was being away from family. And now that James was close to ending his education, there would be even fewer of us.
The Weasley/Potter kids were slowly leaving Hogwarts, and I didn't like it. But, what could I do? Force my cousins to stay forever? Bring my parents with me? No, I couldn't. I have to suck it up and live...

Am I the only one who was deeply disappointed in the films characterization of Ginny Weasley?

posted by abitmoremyself

I absolutely love book Ginny (GoF, HBP, DH). JK makes her a bright, fierce person but in the films, she doesn't seem to be anything like that. She's still reserved like she was in the first few films (which she was supposed to be) but they haven't made much of an effort to show the change in Ginny as she matures.This (pardon my french) really damn well pisses me off.

They make an effort to show the change in Neville and I think they done a really good job with him but I just don't see how they couldn't have put in the same amount of effort with Ginny.

I also love the Ginny/Harry pairing in the...

Harry Potter and the Deathly hallowse part 2 vs twilight saga breaking dawn part 1

posted by kat_777

First of all I have to admit that I initially liked the twilight. The first movie I mean, it was pretty entertaining. Then I saw new moon and eclipse, hated both these films. The character I started to like initially were spoiled in thFor example ever since Edward’s suicide attempt in new moon and Jacob’s begging for Bella’s love, I despised both those characters.
Okay here is the deal.
Breaking was a hope that there will be some improvement in the saga, especially in terms of direction and acting. My friends told me that the movie breaking dawn was great and that they felt like crying...

"I'll help you get him back."
I sighed heavily.
"How?"
"Leave it up to me."
There's nothing you can do. It's the end.
I poured coffee into cups. I wondered if Kate would want pancakes or scrambled eggs. I poured two teaspoons of sugar into Kate's cup and one into mine cup. I decided to make pancakes. I pulled the wand from my back pocket and waved it towards the oven. I put the pan on the gas and took out the bowl. I took the milk and eggs from the refrigerator .
"I helped a couple while ago," Sirius said.
I looked at him with raised eyebrows. He rolled his eyes when he saw my face.

Why Rose Weasley is my favorite character in Harry Potter

posted by peppergirl30

~Before I start, I just want to give some credit to LifesGoodx3 for giving me the idea for this article.~

Now, if you know me you probably know that Rose Weasley is my favorite character of all-time. Now, I know that's HIGHLY uncommon because no one knows about Rose or any of the New Generation kids until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So, in this article, I'd like to show you why Rose is my favorite character. Well, first off, we never see Rose do much because she only comes in the bitter end of Deathly Hallows and we don't see her in any scenarios and how she would react. But, I think...
