What would happen if someone rejected their Hogwarts Invitation Letter? Would the same thing that happened to Harry occur? With thousands of letters flying into his/her house?

So I'm curious on what the community thinks about the latest hot question being edited From Have there ever been 25 or more stars on Wonder Woman's panties? To Have there ever been 25 or more stars on Wonder Woman's satin tights? The edit really doesn't make sense. Wonder Woman has a...

In Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2, We know that. But what are the horns of freedom?

He takes their bodies as his last one wears out. As the story goes on he feels anxious. He's not sure, he might be the only alien of his kind left on earth. He begins to feel divided somehow. Then, a major duel with someone who knows what he is. He wins the duel -- but as the story ends he re...

I am looking for a story which I read probably two decades ago, in the 90s, but which was probably already old at that point. I think I read it in some kind of anthology, in English, and in the USA. A substantial number of children are the result of some kind of virus which caused infected women...

It seems, that in The Hobbit movie (Battle of Five Armies), Thranduil leads a impressive force of Mirkwood elves to reclaim his treasure in Lonely Mountain: Also Dain's army is featured: (The Men of Dale probably didn't have an impressive force as compared to Mirkwood and the Iron Hills then...

This is something that was never clear to me when reading this (my absolute favorite) book. Can rabbits understand what the humans are saying? They can communicate alright with other animals (mice, seagull, cat, apparently not with a dog, though). What about humans? Fiver has a dream where he ...

From what I saw in Age of Ultron and Civil War, Vision accepts his view on what is right and what is wrong might be incorrect, if his current beliefs cause putting innocent people in harm's way. So, he does the best he can in order to protect others. And in the first Thor movie, Thor also realize...

Sliders 2x08 Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome at the end we see 2 Prof. Maximilian Arturo's fighting it out for who was going to slide, When one of them is able to jump leaving the other behind. The one left behind says "Oh My God" in shock implying that the one who jumped is very likely not in fac...

When Myrcella was sent to Dorne she took a ship and royal family went to docks to see her off. Similarly when Jaime came back from Dorne he came back in a ship and took a boat to come to docks. When Doran Martell was supposed to arrive at Kings landing Tyrion was waiting for him and his entourag...

I was reading this story 8-15 years ago and i was reading it in german. Im not sure but i think the book had 2 short, totally different stories in it. The story was about a man who was sent(i think kinda forced) to go to a planet where he should play a game everyone on that planet plays. I think...

If you get into somebody's house/keep/castle based on false pretence (claiming to be someone else than you are), or by sneaking in and then mingling with a crowd of visitors; then you eat from the food on the hosts' table; then you are discovered - do you have Guest Right? Or is it invalidated? A...

I'm asking due to this question: When were replicas of Green Lantern's Power Battery and Power Ring first produced? Is it considered on-topic to ask merchandising questions about an on-topic work?

Did they have all the actors lined up for Wonder Woman at the time? Is the photo identical or was it subtly modified between the two movies? Was the scene meticulously recreated for Wonder Woman, or was set already constructed at the earlier time, or were the props and scenery stored and reused?

First, a preface: I’m not at all familiar with any of the previous Wonder Woman continuities. I’ve never read or seen anything from that franchise at all. In the new Wonder Woman movie, an explicit, humoristic point is made of the fact that Diana and the Amazons are excellent polyglots (though...

After reading about the hubbub over this question, I started to wonder what the stars on Wonder Woman's outfit even stand for. Out if universe I'm assuming they have something to do with her being an American-made hero, but I want the in-universe explanation. I think I read somewhere that she cra...

It's set that Jedi are not allowed to have children, but can they be considered godparents to someone else's child? True that this isn't a legal binding, but they're not allowed to have romantic relationships even outside of a legal marriage (which they also cannot do), so emotional and spiritual...

In Rogue One, the infiltration squad of the same name used the stolen Zeta-class cargo shuttle, identified as SW-0608, to land on the planet Scarif. While they approached the Shield Gate station, the wing configuration of the ship was changed in landing mode. Once the ship passed through the s...

Shortly before the Legends canon ended, Tahiri Veila was put on trial for her time as Jacen Solo's - er, Darth Caedus' - apprentice, and specifically for the murder of Gilad Pellaeon. During the trial, when she is being questioned by the prosecutor, we have the following exchange: [...] "plea...

In Artemis Fowl, The Last Guardian, and is cloned back to life, and his spirit remains, but he has not retained his memories. Why? Is it just because humans are not as "magical" as the Berserkers?

I've been looking for a pulpy sci-fi book for literally 20 years with no luck. Maybe now is the time? I only read part of the book, but the part I remember goes something like: A man wakes up the morning after a comet has passed near Earth. His entire neighborhood and the city of Los Angeles (I ...

Can the pirates cursed by the Aztec gold feel pain? In this video, the creator claims that they cannot feel pain, : POC Genius The video mostly references combat scenes where the "bad guys" scream in pain. Barbossa claims to Elizabeth that "He feel's nothing" but I thought that was more of a...

I think this is probably a golden age short story by a notable author that I read in the 1970's in an anthology. Set on an alien planet colonized by earth men. A man is walking alone on a road at dusk or night. I can't remember if he set out on foot or his vehicle broke down. The road winds t...

I know it's not a story I'm trying to identify, but it's the closest place I can find to ask. I'm trying to remember the name of a toy I had as a kid (in the late 1980s or early 1990s), and have never heard from since (and lost somewhere along the line). It seemed to be a Transformers/GoBots/Etc...

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate stackexchange to post this on, if not let me know and I will move it. I'm designing a prototype machine (entirely theoretical for now) where when you press a button on a small device you wear, it injects chemical and hormones into your bloodstream. The ai...

Help me find a name of the 80's-90's sci-fi movie. Action takes place somewhere at factory in the desert. Then something happened and people have to smoke cigarette after alert (I know it sounds weird). The only thing i know is that main character who's working on this factory is fighting with so...

There has been so recent debate regarding stars on Wonder Woman's outfit: Have there ever been 25 or more stars on Wonder Woman's "panties"? There has also been some buzz that "Wonderwoman is not American enough" from certain unsurprising sources. So, were there actually any stars or allusions...
