“Harry Potter” Mystery: Are Wizards Immune to Hypothermia?
Anyone who has read the Harry Potter books and/or have seen the films must notice the lack of safety in the wizarding world.

The goblet of fire is an enchanted object where students from three different European magic schools, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Hogwarts, submit their names to enter the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

“Harry Potter” Mystery: Are Wizards Not as Concerned About Safety as Muggles?
One thing I noticed about the Harry Potter series is that wizards and witches don’t seem as concerned about safety as muggles do. It is constantly said that Hogwarts is one of the safest wizarding schools in the world. However, like many, I kind of have to disagree. People have pointed out the numerous dangersContinue reading ““Harry Potter” Mystery: Are Wizards Not as Concerned About Safety as Muggles?”
My Favorite “Potter Puppet Pals” Videos
Unlike the canon Harry Potter series, Potter Puppet Pals used slapstick humor throughout. Some videos were live and others were animated, including the ones other people have made, using the Potter Puppet Pals scene creator (I don’t know if it exists anymore). You could thank the creators, Neil and Emmy Cicierega, for this, especially sinceContinue reading “My Favorite “Potter Puppet Pals” Videos”

Whether you’re a die-hard Harry Potter fan or just know a little bit about the series, like if you’re just starting to read the books or watch the films, you might notice how different wizards and witches are from muggles (non-magical people).

Everyone who is familiar with “Harry Potter” knows that a young wizard or witch can start Hogwarts when he or she is 11 and is expected to attend 7 years there.

Many discuss the “missing day” in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone between the night Lily and James died and the next evening when Hagrid delivers Baby Harry to his aunt and uncle. But fewer talk about the “missing month” in the film, known as the “skipped month of August.” If you remember in theContinue reading ““Harry Potter” Mystery: The Skipped Month of August in the First Film of the Franchise (2001)”
“Harry Potter” Mystery: Are Godparent Roles Different for Wizards?
We’ve heard of godparents in the Harry Potter series. One obvious example is Sirius Black being Harry’s godfather, who spent much of his time in Azkaban. Harry is also named Remus’s son, Teddy’s, godfather. Ron and Hermione are godparents to Harry’s oldest son, James, in the seventh book’s epilogue, as well as his aunt andContinue reading ““Harry Potter” Mystery: Are Godparent Roles Different for Wizards?”
