I found that there's a rather clear mention of Vampires before the Slug club. Hagrid explains how he had to shake off the Ministry people watching him and Madamde Maxime before they could safely travel to the land of the giants in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix chapter 20, and it has ...
Filch seems to hate students, dirty messes of Hogwarts, and pretty much magic in general. I know he is aspiring to overcome his Squibness, but there must be many better jobs than a janitor at a Middle-High school.
Why does Filch feel obligated to be a janitor at Hogwarts?
The ship was crewed by an AI and carried the "hero" thru time to battle Orbs of energy that turned out to be what Man had evolved into.
How much is 3 gigajoules per second? In the first movie he made a small reactor and said that's how much energy it produces. What I want to know is the science behind that kind of power. What it would be equivalent to if it's possible to make maybe not that small but anything at all that can make...
A few days ago a friend was bloating that one can learn a lot of science from watching movies and tv series like West world and Interstellar and that it's comparable to watching documentaries and reading books. And they were referring so much to this article and they were saying that 800TB simula...
The fact the bronze badges like Scholar or Commentator not appearing in the dropdown isn't a bug, but a feature - many bronze badges are considered insignficant (fair enough - do you think Student is a signficant achievement), and not included in the dropdown except the very first time you get th...
In the Potterverse we see house elves speak broken English. Winky is the best example
House elves does what they is told. I is not liking heights at all, Harry Potter...but my master sends me to the top and I comes, sir.
But in fact they all speak oddly. Given the fact that most of them see...
I recall reading a story when I was younger about a group of people who found themselves on the run, being pursued by "shadowy figures". In the end it was revealed that they had all shared the same consciousness or "dream" while unconscious, and the shadowy figures were the doctors trying to hel...
Recently launched trailer of Fantastic Beast 2: Crimes of Grindelwald has proved that being Animagus (I don't have proper word) was Nagini's inherent quality, not something assisted by Voldemort when she had became Bathilda Bagshot.
Which kind of snake Nagini re...
From memory, Voldemort's pet snake doesn't make an appearance in the Harry Potter series until book 4, Goblet of Fire. When Nagini attacks Mr. Weasley, nobody really makes the connection between a giant snake and Voldemort. This implies that Voldemort didn't have Nagini when he was powerful the f...
“Where is Nagini?” said the cold voice.
“I I don’t know, my Lord,” said the first voice nervously. “She set out to explore the house, I think. . . .”
“You will milk her before we retire, Wormtail,” said the second voice. “I will need feeding in the night. The journey has tired me g...
The story is about a military agent with an incident in his military record (Something about a hostage situation if i remember correctly) that indicates he's soft and is not fine with mindlessly spending other lives in the name of collateral damage.
This soldier is sent behind enemy lines to ret...
I seem to recall a story about some teens or kids who discover an alien space craft in a mountain who explodes killing everyone in threat by town. The main character goes in to become an expert in this explosion and eventually goes to
Kill himself by laying down in bed with his parents who died a...
In Rick and Morty, Rick is an alcoholic who always has a hip-flask form which he regularly drinks.
Although he's ben shown to consume other beverages (like champagne during Birdman's wedding for instance), is it ever revealed which alcoholic beverage is in Rick's personal hip-flask?
I read this story/novel in the 1970s. My recollections are :
A man wakes up thousands of years in the future, on a planet which turns out to be Earth (maybe). The man had been somehow petrified, and awakened, due to electricity or lightening.
The planet has beings which are feline-like and also...
Why would a secretly evil company choose an "official" evil-sounding name?
corporations names
Upon reviewing a post at SFF.SE, I learned that The Maze Runner featured an organization called WICKED. Having never read the books nor seen the movies, I reckoned that it was one of those tropey well-...
I asked James Gunn, the director of Volumes 1 and 2, on Twitter and it turns out Rocket didn’t invent the device. In fact, he stole it (because it was expensive).
Gunn also gave some insight to how it works.
@CarrotLethal: Hello! Did Rocket create the repair tool he uses on the Milano or was...
I was able to contact David Forman ("Hong Kong Businessman") himself:
I showed this to several people fluent in Mandarin and they were unable to comprehend what he said, so it looks like this was overdubbed.
After watching for the nth time Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, it looks to me that Obi-Wan-Kenobi, just before he sacrifices himself in the lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, assumes the same pose of the giant fallen Jedi statue in the desert planet of Jedha in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story....
As Koloss grow, their skin goes from super loose to stretching and breaking.
It was a creature of smaller size—perhaps six feet tall. It was man-shaped, with two arms and legs, though its neck was hard to distinguish. It was completely bald. The oddest feature, however, was its blue skin, whi...
This is a question I have for those trained in the classics and have read the novel, 1984.
One of the minor characters in the novel is a man called Syme, who works on Newspeak. He waxes eloquently about the beauty of destroying words and how that will fundamentally change the way people will ...
