Spoiler: show
For context, a "Patronus" is essentially the embodiment of a happy memory that wizards use to either fight Dementors (who feed off negative energy, fear, sadness, bad memories, etc) or sometimes they can be used to send messages or w/e. They usually take the form of an animal. Anyway...

So a few years (Like 8 or 9) ago I had this dog, some of you might remember from IRC chats or w/e. Fat Beagle that we got literally on a whim outside some gym or family/fitness center where they had a bunch of dogs they were looking to get adopted. This dumbass literally walks right up to me. I walk him up the sidewalk for a bit and then we both get tired and I sit down to pet him but he lays his head on my lap like a jerk. Hoo do I not love this guy and take him home lol.

Anyway he'd sleep with me every night and like, right up on my legs he'd curl up like a puzzle piece and fit right in there. Every night.

Then when he passed 4-5 years ago I got all torn up about it. And I dunno when the Pottermore site added the Patronus thing where you can go on there and answer some questions and it'll show you your Patronus with a little animation and let you play with it and watch it move on the screen or w/e but I remember thinking "You know what fuck it" after seeing everyone posting about it on Twitter so I go and answer the questions and I remember distinctly thinking "If this fucking website tells me my Patronus is a beagle I'm going to cry my face off" and sure enough the site said my Patronus was not just a dog (there were several types of dogs I saw other people have on Twitter so I know its not just "Dog" or "cat" or "bird") but I got a beagle.
Anyway that's why I believe in magic.

...

Ok that's awesome.

I remember that dog DH and how sad it was for you and your family and then for us on IRC when it passed. And how ironic that your patronus was a beagle. Now there is Storm and I hope he is doing well and I'm sure he is loved by the whole family, though I know he can't replace the one thats passed. Good story.

Oh Storm's great. And he's doing really well. We may even get him a friend coming up here soon which will be funny because he's so protective and such an attention hog but he's not got a mean bone in his body

Oh I just realized I didn't say anything but in case it's not obvious:

Day 0 does not award House points. THis is just for checking in.

harry potter and the goblet is the best book but the worst movie and if you disagree im killing you first

#66

My patronus is apparently a tortoiseshell cat? I'm a cat person, but why that type?

Pretty good tho.

linki: I disagree.

#67

Could be the worst movie though.

#68

Movie 4 is poop but might not be the worst because 3 and 6 fight really hard for that title.

I came here to express this exact opinion.

#70

Movie 4 is probably the worst in a more global sense.

But 3 casually forgets to explain the main plot and 6 casually skips the main battle of the book.

Ugh these films.

Best ones are 5 and 7. They are the only ones I'd call really good adaptions.

8 was pretty bad. If by 7 you mean DH part 1, then okay.

#73

Yeah part 1. It does a good job at capturing the whole dark atmosphere of the first half of the book.

As for 5 it captures the empire of Umbridge and the DA thing perfectly, and that's satisfying for me.

God the sixth movie was so bad though ugh they skipped all the good parts of the book and instead spent 90% of the film on the stupid parts

But yeah DH part 1 was great. That tale of the three brothers animation..... damnn

lol, I didn't realize there was a color associated with the house. I was just trying to make it a different color than Yunqui -

#81

Huh, it's weird to see everyone hating on all the films, I assumed they were well regarded. Or maybe that was just the case for my my super obsessed college roommate, who had horrible taste in movies anyway.

The fourth movie eliminated too many plot elements and came off as just a compilation of monster battles with Voldemort as the final boss.

Plus it's always bothered me to no end that they completely eliminated Ludo Bagman. Without him there's no reason for Harry to give his prize money to Fred and George, thus there's no explanation later as to why they're able to open and operate their shop. What, are we supposed to just believe that did it by magic?

It's been too long since I've seen any of the others to have specific gripes. I just remember being especially disappointed by Goblet of Fire because it was my favorite book.

The movies really shined in some places, but having read the books first, the movies ended up subpar. Great aesthetic and a few good moments, perfect casting for preteen Harry Potter and for Snape, the feeling of the movies was perfect. There were a lot of things left out of movies that they needed, and the overall story was mutilated in some places. The final Harry vs Voldemort battle was awful, for one.

Decent movies if it weren't for the books though

the book made the point that voldemort was no more than a man in death

and yet the movie decided to complete disregard that

shame

because I didn't know!!

but I'm mostly kidding because I can't expect to play a game called Hogwarts and not be spoiled.

And yes I know you put it in spoiler tags - I just automatically clicked on it thinking it wasn't really a spoiler, it was more likely a joke, lol.

There's gotta be a statute of limitations on spoilers lol these books are like 20 years old. Juliets were you saving Harry Potter for some special occasion? :o

TFW I'm late to Quidditch practice

Starting early I see, I wonder if that will make you a friend or a foe. Pottermore has put me in Gryffindor or Slytherin in the past, but I Googled Hufflepuff. I might be a Hufflepuff in actuality, but I'm really unsure. I personally enjoy the Prisoner of Azkaban PC game.
