Gilderoy Lockhart confessed the reality only in front of Harry and Co. Did the media ever learn the truth? The trio couldn't be credible sources to media, but they could at least tell the truth to Dumbledore (if Dumbledore already didn't know) or others who could spread the word.
Did the Wizardi...
I watched this movie a quite long time ago. I think it's around 2000 - 2010. It's in color and I think it's a low budget movie. This is the scene I remember:
There are sphere drones attacking a city. It has a laser gun that disintegrate people.
There is this man try to attacking the drones usin...
Plot Details/Summary
As stated in the prompt, this particular film was made up of a number of short stories with science fiction and/or horror elements. It's not one of the Creepshow films or the Tales From The Darkside movie. I do not recall exactly how many stories there were, but I do recall...
I remember an 80's cartoon movie that had a scene with blue aliens/mutants, one of which had no head but a face on his torso, walking through a forest, did not speak in present tense (Everything was/will be fine) I think because the present was too painful for them to contemplate? This may have ...
This review, for example, should certainly be flagged for spam. But to do so, I have to click the question title below and find the answer. Why can't there be a Flag button next to the Recommend Deletion button?
I just spotted a spam answer in the VLQ review queue on Travel. I wanted to flag but there was no link. So I clicked Delete and then used the history to get to the question and flagged it as spam. But why wasn't that an option in the Review?
Spam deserves its own special place in hell.
And the sooner it gets there, the better. It should always be possible to flag a post as spam — when reading it, from a review queue, preferably even from the post feed in a chat room.
But at the very least there should be an option to flag a post as...
Why did Thanos slaughter half the population of the asgardian survivors at the beginning of infinity war? I understand that he believes half the population of the universe needs to be sacrificed in order to ensure there are enough resources to go round but the asgardians have just had their home...
The warp 5 threshold was merely a plot device. In real life, just like the jet engine and supersonic travel, there were impediments to travel speeds. At the time humanity didn't possess the technologies needed to push warp 5, the NX was the first to surpass that, on paper.
Since yesterday I've noticed that all of the small icons used in the "Hot Network Questions" pane, as well as some of the community nav menu (the SE icon at top-right) are all mixed up. This seems to be localized to the SF&F and SF&F Meta boards.
I've tried clearing my cache to no avail. Is anyo...
We know that Harry himself didn't have to destroy the Horcruxes:
"Ron - ?"
The sword flashed, plunged: Harry threw himself out of the way, there was a clang of metal and a long, drawn-out scream. Harry whirled around, slipping in the snow, wand held ready to defend himself: but there was no...
I recently ended reading the dark tower series, and I got a doubt. Warning for spoilers of several books:
It is stated that the one that die in the key world is permanently dead and cannot wake up in another reality.
Jake Chambers, the boy companion of Roland in the first book arrive in the...
It is known that Capt. Marvel takes place in the 90s. Given the release of the first trailer for Capt. Marvel, we now know that
Given that these characters need to appear around 25 years younger than today, How much CG de-aging technology (similar to that applied to Rober Downey Jr and Micahe...
I noticed there are quite a few questions about the Populist badge. Some people are confused about its purpose, or upset about its existence, yet others simply wonder why they didn't get theirs.
I just want to change the Populist Badge's description from:
Highest scoring answer that outscore...There are lots of muggle technologies in existence which can find and map hidden structures precisely. e.g. ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography), BOTDR (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry), Underground Radar, Seismic Imaging - MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) etc.
Talkin...
It's a movie about a boy who is the typical little genius. I watched it in Italy in the early 80s.
The things I remember about the protagonist:
his chamber was full of electrical devices
he weared glasses and seemed to be about 12-13 years old and was a bit socially awkward
at one poin...
In the Shrek 1 alternate opening Fiona’s Prologue, there is a witch/fortune teller named Dama Fortuna.
However, some sources describing the opening give her the name BIB Fortuna, which apparently is a reference to the Star Wars character of the same name. I believed that until I actually saw the...
There's a short story I read when I was a young kid.
In it, a man meets a demon who grants his wish for immortality. The man quickly tires of his new state and tries to kill himself, but his first few attempts fail - I can't recall if he healed from them, or just caused him pain but didn't kil...
I am not well versed, but it seems like every sci-fi book/movie which takes place in what first appears as a utopia almost always devolves into revealing itself as a dystopia.
Are there any stories I should take a look at where the plot takes place in the context of an actual utopia? I would al...
As part of implementing the new unified themes across the network, we're gradually rolling out updated site themes for each site. As of today, we have enabled your updated site theme for testing.
If you can't see it right now, that's by design! This is a very early test implementation of your d...
The Memory Alpha Wiki says:
At this rank ... [officers] had begun to prove their ability to perform acceptably in Starfleet, and typically began to take on more senior roles in command situations.
But what actually qualifies an ensign (or an enlisted person etc.) to be appointed/promoted t...
I'm looking for a movie title but I don't have a lot to go on. This is what I have:
An alien has crashed on Earth, and as the only survivor of his team, continues with plans to use a bomb to send Earth out of orbit and allow the orbit of his home planet to take its place, because the aliens wa...
I'm looking for a book I've read couple years ago. The plot was similar to sound of thunder and time safari. The difference was that there were invisible dinosaurs that at the end of the book somehow managed to get to the future (from where the protagonists have come). I remember that one of the ...
Near the end of “Herbert West, Reanimator,” the title character receives a sealed box from a series of reanimated men and body parts who seek vengeance. West and the narrator incinerate the box without opening it. The monsters soon returned and haul West away.
What’s in the box? I feel as thoug...
