Why does Slughorn even know anything about Horcruxes, never mind something super-advanced like having more than one? They seem to be a fairly-unadvertised deep dark magic, and he's neither a Dark Magic adept, nor specializes in DADA or Necromancy - he's a Potions guy.

Why does Tom Riddle ask Slughorn about Horcruxes, at all? The benefits are slim to none (see How did Slughorn's information on horcruxes actually help Voldemort?). Tom already knows about them and how to make them from actual reliable sources, and Slughorn tells him absolutely nothing new or use...

Very similar to my second question. I recall that one of the middle episodes of "Space: Above and Beyond" (1995–1996) starts with the quote similar to this one: It is year 21XX. We can cure every disease except for a broken heart Which exactly episode it is and what is the exact text of that ph...

Very similar to my previous question. I recall that one of the episodes of "Space: Above and Beyond" (1995–1996) includes quote similar to this one: -- The Regulator... -- Yes? -- Who controls the birds? -- I do... I control the birds! -- Who controls you? Which exactly episode it is and what ...

I remember reading it in the 90s. The main story happens on an alien spaceship where human explorers find a relic. I can't remember exactly what it was but what I do remember is that it offered great technological advancement but the characters were worried it might be a trap created to find and ...

Which episode does Sam say this in? I believe he yells it after being locked out of a building, possibly a castle. I was reasonably sure it was Sahara Hare but I don't see any reference to this line on the wikipedia page for that episode. Here is the audio clip, without reference to the episode n...

i forgot the name of a manwha i was reading. Basically, the MC is a saintess really powerful and loved by some followers, but she eventually dies after healing a guy and her soul gets reborn as a noble woman that is married and has a son. If i remember correctly one of the guys that knew her as a...

admittedly i dont remember much. i read maybe the first chapter of the book, years ago, not even sure if it's part of a series or a standalone, but if someone can find it, it's you people. it's written from a POV of a young lady, living in london. she attended some kind of institution for young l...

I was watching Ben and Holly's little kingdom (with my grandson) and the king got his vehicle trapped so he phoned for Elf Rescue. Suddenly I sat up in delight, it transpires Elf Rescue is a parody of International Rescue and they turned up in their equivalent of Thunderbirds 1&2. Thunderbird 2 t...

Did the city of Ankh-Morpork have city walls? And a military force? How would it defend itself from invasions?

Ive been searching for a book series I read a few years ago. The first book followed a group expedition through a dangerous wasteland with monsters. They are saved by people riding giant lion type creatures the people wear masks hiding the fact that they have several. They act like they are peac...

I have heard in the Marvel Comics that The Collector and The Grandmaster are brothers. I have not read these comics so I do not know the exact sources of the information, but I wonder if this relationship (or similar) has been brought into the MCU? Jeff Goldblum, who plays the The Grandmaster in ...

I think its about 18 chapter long i could be wrong but the gist was that hermione got pregnant during the war and was waiting to tell harry after they've defeated voldemort cause she didnt want to preasure him. Anyways fast forward t o after the war she was coming around to tell him when he saw h...

We see Mal smitten with the Serenity in "Out of Gas". Clearly he has an eye for her, even as the used spaceship salesman tries to get him to buy a newer and marginally less crappy-looking ship. Presumably even in used condition a spacegoing(ish) vessel isn't going to be inexpensive. Where did Mal...

Wandless magic exists. Draco knows this and can safely assume that Dumbledore is good at it. It seems safe to assume that Dumbledore, even wandless, can best a 6th year Hogwarts student. It follows that Draco, if he intends to duel Dumbledore, has no reason to disarm him. What have I missed in ...

So this anime takes place on a floating island powered by a sleeping girl. The mc whent there i think and his grandma/mom is sick. There the kids get special powers and they lern how to use them, and they use the powers to protect the city. And i think the boy got a job as a bkdyguard of an actre...
