We see that the Elder Wand is able to perform magic that would not normally be possible with a regular wand. For example, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry fixes his broken wand with it: (emphasis mine)
He laid the broken wand upon the headmaster’s desk, touched it with the very ...
There was a short story I read as a kid (between 2007 and 2009) about a world where people were raised from a young age with a microchip implanted in their skull which was trained over time to simulate the brain.

‘Because [the Room of Requirement] is a room that a person can only enter,’ said Dobby seriously, ‘when they have real need of it’

During the final battle in Avengers: Endgame,
Amidst the battle, Captain America,
At this moment, they have a short exchange of sorts (following up to the one in Avengers: Infinity War) where Thor says to Cap:

I watched this movie at a friends house, and thought it was freaky/original/cool. In it,
What happens that causes the fate of those passengers? I don't fly much, so I'm a little confused on what exactly happened.
When I played an MMORPG as a child, the game had many items and constantly made new items. Eventually someone asked the administrators what was the demarcation of the type of objects they would add to the game. They gave a definite answer: anything prior to the invention of the television would b...
Szeth says in The Way of Kings that, as he is Truthless, he doesn’t go by Szeth-son-Neturo, so as not to insult his father. Instead he goes by Szeth-son-son-Vallano. Why is it alright, in his mind, to go by his grandfather’s name instead?

In the Stormlight Archive series, most plants in the East freak out if you step near them: grass retreats into stone as you step on it, rockbuds pull their vines into their shells if you are close, etc. Are plants on Roshar ever shown to be sensitive enough to react to vibrations in the air, or d...

It is stated tha Mr. Filch cannot open the Room because he cannot guess what are the students doing there.
But we know that Mr. Filch is a Squib, i.e. his magical abilities are next to non-existent. Of course, they do not have to be skilled Wizards, as first year Harr...
I know in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry and Hermione go back in time, save Buckbeak and free Sirius Black. However, in the actual movie before this event, Harry sees - according to what's figured out later - himself casting the Patronus. (Harry sees his future self casting the P...
