I'm a little lost about Prisoner of Azkaban's timeline. Did Scabbers disappear prior to Harry losing the Marauder's Map? What chapters should I be looking at?

The Seeker is key to winning a game of Quidditch. If your team doesn't have a Seeker and the opposing team does, then the opposing team can only ever lose by surrendering. Unless there's a huge skill difference between the two playing teams, this is as good as an automatic win. It follows that if...

Most Federation starships have a deflector dish below the saucer section to protect the ship from hitting pebbles at high speeds. But not the Oberth class vessels. Nor the Soyuz class ships. Nor the Miranda class ships. If deflector dishes are necessary for safe warp speed travel, the...

Why didn't tiny nanites fix scars on Bloodshot's shoulder?

One of the answers to this question says The visible dish itself is a bit unique to the Federation. Is that true? Do any non-Federation ships have deflector dishes?

In the Movie (DH1), George walks in one Harry and Ginny kissing . The intriguing thing is that he has a toothbrush stuck in his ear: Why?

I'm trying to identify this cartoon, I must have seen it around the early 2000s, maybe late 90s (it was in English and I'm from the US). I remember seeing it a few times, so I probably had it on VHS. It was likely a standalone thing, not part of a series, and it wasn't quite movie-length, perhaps...

I remember watching a (possibly Japanese) TV show in which a group of people come together (as the series progresses) and fight evil people coming from so called "Dark Dimension". The show started from one guy, and progressively 4 more people join in as the show progressed. Each person represent...

In Peter F. Hamilton's "Salvation" Saga he uses the word "trollez" a lot: Like most London streets, Plough Lane had a perpetual swarm of bugez and trollez trundling after their owners, and more of the little vehicles chasing down the central clear path on delivery routes, both legitimate and ...

In the Architect scene, on the monitors, when The Architect mentions that Neo loves Trinity and the screens starts showing her, you can see scenes that will be shown within next 2 min - Trinity is fighting Agent. This can't be previous versions of the Matrix as the previous ones didn't have Tri...

I read this ~4 years ago, and the title was shortish. Basically, Obi-Wan gets sent back in time by the force, and starts changing history. He saves Siri's life, and starts a relationship with her. He trains really hard, and eventually gets to the point of being able to beat Yoda in a fight. I ...
