This big question leads to the next question. What happened to Harry's grandparents? Lily's parents and James's parents are both absent from the story and we never knew what happened to them. Most people just assume that they all died because why else would Dumbledore send Harry to live with thos...

Ok, this has been bothering me after watching episode 1 again... why didn't the Doctor know he was now a woman? I've googled this and there doesn't seem to be any reference to this answer. If being a man for 12 (13 including War Doctor) iteration, wouldn't you know that you don't have male parts ...

In Lord of the Rings The Two Towers Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas rests at night beside the forest of Fangorn. There they sees an old man in white.Afterwards there horses also left them. Gimli then highly suspects that it is Saruman. So who was he? I don't remember clearly but I think that Gandalf...

Please read this Wikia passage first: Dragon eggs are notoriously difficult to hatch, though they can maintain the spark of life inside of them for decades if not centuries. The secret key to hatching the eggs seems to involve some form of blood magic: as the House words of the Targar...

My understanding is that every Federation ship has a navigational deflector which is primarily used to deflect any objects that may collide with the ship while at warp or otherwise. From what I've seen of TNG and Enterprise, the deflector can be used for other means, including as a weapon to dama...

The assumption that Thranduil is more noble is conveyed in the movies by the fact that he has blonde hairs and more "lighty" demeanor. As far as I understood Thranduil inherited the Elven kingdom of Thingol. Thingol (earlier called Elwë) saw the Light of Valinor. However Thranduil is not a desce...

Being that Dothraki pride their voracity and skill in battle via their hair, Dothraki Warrior Dothraki warriors wear their hair in a long braid and only cut it when defeated, so the world may see their shame. Very capable warriors therefore often have a very long braid. So what would ...

Just curious as to why questions that point out plot holes are downvoted so much?

What are the nonverbal spells used in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald? For example, when the Auror protects himself ? Or the spell he used to enter within the wall and to appear near Nagini?

If an Animagus eats something that is harmful to the Animagus' form would it harm them? For example, if Sirius Black was in his Animagus form as a wolf, would he get sick if he ate chocolate? If he ate enough he could die? Would Sirius be affected by the chocolate in Animagus form?

I have been trying to remember the name of this series of books I read several years ago (might have been around 2010+-). Unfortunately, I don't remember too much or might be mixing things up. I believe it took place in some "dying world" fantasy setting where technology relics of the past where...

While the Horus Heresy books have not got there yet is there any information as to what happened when Mars was re-liberated after the Horus Heresy? I am assuming it didn't take place until after the traitor legions had been pushed out of sol. Or is this whole civil war on Mars new canon that has ...

Early in A Song of Ice and Fire book 1: A Game of Thrones, after Arya's direwolf Nymeria attacks Prince Joffrey we learn that As a result, when Cersei is looking for a Direwolf to "blame" for her son's injuries, Sansa's direwolf Lady is Later on in the novel shortly after Jon takes his vow...

I'm a student and am trying to do a study on the features of TVs, video players, or set-top boxes that people loved the most and came very handy. I am also thinking about nice-to-have features that we would love to have when watching movies on our players. I have a list of few items like this, wh...

I am aware that the Beta gate becomes the main gate (post replicators). I'm only a few episodes past that. I noticed in the groundhog day episode that the origin symbol isn't correct (assuming they still use the beta gate). Is there a reason behind this or is it just a goof that seems to keep hap...

I think I read this story online, probably in the 90's. Given that, it may have been posted to Usenet. The protagonist is a man with a form of amnesia where every time he goes to sleep, he forgets everything that's happened to him from a particular point forward. He copes with this by labeling t...

I have been trying (and failing) to identify a short story which I first read in a 1970s anthology. It was science fiction with a touch of horror and centred around the invention and abuse of a selective memory erasing device. At the end of the story everyone in Britain had been fitted with the ...

What 'uncommon skill or power' does Harry have? Is it just that he can love? Can't many people do that. Most of us. Most of us do not like to kill. Some of us find it outright abhorrent, some cannot actually go through with it like Draca Malfoy. But most of us wouldn't want to split our soul int...

I believe that this newest incarnation of the Doctor isn’t acting like his normal self, and yes I say his because I have a theory. Now I love Doctor Who, but season 11 isn’t good. There’s no overlaying plot, and just politics everywhere. I have no issue with politics in media, as long as you do i...

A friend lent me an interesting book in about 1985 that was a fictional history of spaceflight from 2000-2100. It was a largish book, with full-color full-page graphics, with only a couple paragraphs of explanitory notes per page. It covered our contact with Alpha Centauri, the development of v...
