I'm confused because Harry potter is a half blood even though he was born from a muggle born and a pure blood. Does a muggle born count as a muggle when giving birth or what?

Is there any evidence to prove that Frodo mourned for Boromir ? Did he forgive Boromir ?

Years ago I read a fantasy trilogy, which I’ve since loaned to someone and never got back. It was about a man who was developing a VR game which was entered via a sensory deprivation tank. Something happened and he got stuck in the game, where if you died you would also die in real life. It was ...

I read this book in the mid 80's in Australia. I'm pretty sure it was American in origin and about a teenage girl of colour. She was suddenly transported to another world, a desert world... and had to fight to survive. She returned to normality after a while but would be returned to that alternat...

I remember watching VHS tapes at my grandparents' house around 1990-1995 so would guess it was made some time between 1985 and 1992. It may have been an over dubbed Japanese cartoon. I can only remember that it was in pseudo medieval setting with castles but also dragons. I think a pack of 10 dra...

I first read Watchers back in the early nineties and last month I re-read it. The ending differed a lot from my recollection,in the new version they settle down with a baby and the special dog and a tranquil life....the end. This left me somewhat nonplussed, in my memory of the book there was a...

In The Rise of Skywalker, we see a massive fleet of Star Destroyers, which, for all intents and purposes, I will call the Exegol Fleet, due to the fact that they are seen on Exegol. One shot near the beginning of the movie shows hundreds of these ships, called 'Xyston-class Star Destroyers', acco...

The website for The Ickabog by JK Rowling has color coding for various chapters. The color schemes repeat as well: Do we know what's the color scheme here?

I think something sort of like this happened in the Mary Poppins Returns movie. There was a day where everybody flew by holding onto a balloon string but the grownups all forgot about it by the next day but the children didn't. Why was the story made that way? Was it actually because of the scien...

I suspect that my memory is failing me, but when reading through Prisoner of Azkaban I couldn't recall any reason that she has given for staying in school over Christmas in any prior year other than the second. Have I forgotten something? Note: I'm not asking for any inferences from the text or ...
