Have any Hogwarts students been killed by their house animal? For example, a Hufflepuff goes walking in the forest, and gets killed by a badger.

I would like to actually make another argument. That they are considered sentient beings. Many consider those fan fictions where a human and trainer are in love as "pokephilia" now, I'm not a supporter of bestiality obviously, however I believe if at minimum, some Pokémon can be considered intell...

Today I suddenly remembered a moment from a story where a character described that people only close their eyelids but not their eyes and thus see only absence of light and not the darkness. After that another character closed their eyes and was able to see the darkness and the story progressed. ...

In "Human Nature" Timothy Latimer opens the fob watch and starts to have visions, one of them is after Martha tells the doctor they have been found and he thinks that she is crazy and kicks her out. After that happens she is running and she bumps into Timothy and he has a vision of her running in...

What happened to the masters blue lazer powers and why doesnt he have them in the peter capaldi episode with missy?

It's a British 50/60s scifi short story where this rich marketing guy meets this rich gal who gets much richer with inheritance $$$, then dumps him when she gets access to futuristic tech. What's the story called and did the author guy write anything else worth reading? I recall it fairly well ...

I've been trying to find this book for some time now, I read it some 10-15 years ago in a library so it could be a bit older.. It's more so a fairy tale than actual fantasy but still. It's the well know story of Hansel and Gretel but told from the perspective of the witch, which is good. The de...

I had just watched Iron Man 3 recently, and I was puzzled a bit in the ending, when the suits had killed a few enhanced humans; how was it possible that they could do that? If they're enhanced and then they suddenly get defeated by the Iron Man suits from those beams? If he could do that with en...

The story was written before 1972 and probably in the 1960s or 1950s. A werewolf is confined to wheelchair lived with his mother who helped him find/subdue victims. Possibly written by Ira Levin, definitely not by Steven King. I know there are similar stories by King and others but I am looking f...

I've read all of the available books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and I am now watching Game of Thrones until Season 3 Episode 2. No spoilers if you can help it. One thing I don't understand is that after Joffrey beheaded Ned Stark and proves himself to be a terrible king (and his mothe...

I recently watched the first episode of For All Mankind. A friend of mine who recommended it said that one of the leading characters among the historical ones is Margaret Hamilton, the leading NASA computer scientist, credited for, among other things, being the co-creator of the term software eng...

The "Han Shot First" scene has been changed again in the version of Star Wars streaming on Disney+. Are there any other differences between the Disney+ versions of the Star Wars movies and the most recent Blu-ray release?

Considering the scope Dr. Manhattan has been given in the current DC continuity, he seems to be comparable to other energy beings and multi-dimensional entities, especially given the fact that he is basically immortal, has a level of cosmic awareness and is not bound by time and space as most bei...

There have been a few comics and TV shows showing Batman wielding a Green Lantern power ring; this makes sense, considering the green rings are powered by will, and Batman is shown to have one of the most powerful human wills on Earth. He was also "given" a Black Lantern ring in the "Darkest Nigh...

The original Ian Flemming spy hero was meant to be a singular man; he was given a backstory and origin. However, as a franchise that has gone on for over 50 years and with new incarnations of Bond being shown with each new actor that portrays him, its been theorized that the very name "James Bond...

This is in the comic continuity, not the TV show, but at one point, Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil. I know he turned down an invitation to the Avengers because of it, recommending Ronin to serve in his place. This was from The New Avengers a few years back... I failed to keep up with the ...

What is the book based on an alien planet that is controlled and mutated by thoughts and beliefs? The more people believe something, the more the planet changes.

In Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi, when the High Command briefs Rebel commanders aboard the ship Home One, we can see a 2-1B droid sitting among them. I understand the presence of other droids like R2-D2 and C-3PO that were directly involved in the tactical and strategic war scenario, but is t...

Between all the dialog in A Phantom Menace and A New Hope, the various animated series (where I understand the Hutts figured prominently in some story lines) and now The Mandalorian, there has been quite a lot of Huttese on screen, much of it subtitled. (Related: Why does Greedo say "Maclunkey" ...

Newbie question. I am looking for thrillers to read about any of the following subjects: scientific research phd students professors and labs mathematics contemporary, or in the near future ( this or next century ). definitely NOT: anything Space Opera-ish I have read all books from Michael...

This was a movie I saw a few times on British TV during the 80's, but I don't think it was much older than that. English language, almost certainly American-produced. I think it was an action movie, driven by a multiple murder plot. The main scene I remember (I really want to say it was the open...

I was never sure if the Deathly Hallows story of the Three Brothers was to be taken literally or figuratively. Recently, I came across a theory video which offers an alternative explanation of how the Deathly Hallows were created. You could see it here: J.K. R...

Across Episode 1 and 2 of "The Mandalorian", it seems that there are 3 planets visited: Planet 1: The planet where Dyn Jarren (The Mandalorian) captures Mythrol Planet 2: The planet where he meets with Greef Karg to get the new bounty Planet 3: The planet where he recovers the asset (answered...

There seems some inconsistency with starwars shields. Personal/Planetary shields seems to be globe like as seen on CIS Droidika and the shield on the Death Star II or Scarif having shields that are projected in a globe around the object. However starship shields seem to be skin tight, for example...
