On page 131 in the The Compleet Molesworth by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle, there is reference to a Latin play called 'The Hogwarts' by Marcus Plautus Molesworthus. Could J.K. Rowling have read this years ago and forgotten? Could you ask her?
I didn't read much before the translators dropped it but a brother and sister are transmigrated into the same world where the people they possessed are engaged to each other and now they have to figure out how to not be engaged. Also I think the fl ends up liking this dark haired (dark skinned?) ...
J.K. Rowling stated that Thestral tail hair, which is the core of the Elder Wand, can be mastered only by a witch or wizard capable of facing death. Does that mean that someone like Voldemort, who was obsessed with immortality and therefore unwilling to accept death, can never master the Elder Wa...
Has there ever been a mention of technology that can aid in sex? I was recently reading an article on Teledildonics and it occurred to me that I've never seen an example of this in Star Wars. I know about the Mind Evaporator and Mermeia but that was more self-pleasure...... I've checked Wookieepe...

In the 1997 Special Edition of Return of the Jedi, a musical number replaces Lapti Nek, known as "Jedi Rocks":
This is apparently its name both out of universe (it's listed as such on the Return of the Jedi official soundtrack) and in universe (per starwars.com). ...

A guy has recently gone through a bad break-up, and desperately misses the good times that came before. He is introduced to a drug that allows him to completely re-experience his memories, as though he wer...
