In the 5th book, Voldemort creates a big flame that acted like a snake. In Grindelwalds Crimes, Grindelwald used Protego Diabolica to create those monster creatures nearly destroying Paris. Is that the same spell Crabbe used?

Note: This is neither a "rant" nor a review. I'm trying to give some context for my question. I first read the books in the later part of the 1990s, beginning as a pre-teen who had no idea what LOTR was. I just saw and picked out the first book from the bookshelf at home and was instantly hooked,...

Since he doesn't suspect that they are going to destroy it, just like the Dark Lord doesn't suspect this, what did he think? Why else would these mysterious hobbits be traveling to such a place, with the Preciousss, if not to destroy it? Gollum is very anxious about Sauron getting it back, but do...

I’m searching for current human colonization science fiction stories which do not involve any alien species at all - including vegetation - and the colony is not magically linked to earth or another support system such as “the Federation”. If “Space: 1999” had not introduced alien encounters, tha...

Not really sure where to start. But this sort of shut in gamer received a game from an unknown package. He later started the game and found out he saw like a god figure to the people. He can only give one prophecy to the people inside the game per day and can preform miracles by spending some kin...

In Frederik Pohl's fourth novel of the Heechee saga, Robin Broadhead encounters Gelle-Klara Moynlin together with Dane Mechnikov. It is mentioned that he was on the same expedition as Klara when they got stuck in the black hole. I remember from an earlier book that Wan and his companion rescued ...

In 1997 I read a paperback adventure romance where a Knight of the Round Table, or an aspiring one maybe, fails in his quest to find the Grail because he is waylaid and bewitched by probably Morgan/Morgana. I think his name was Sir Drian/Dryn, which would make him a minor blip of a character in M...

I just realized that the order the Horcruxes were destroyed was the same as how they were created: The diary, the ring, the locket, the cup, the diadem, Harry, the snake, and Voldemort himself. Does this have a significance? The chances for this happening are very small. It's not hard to imagine ...

I'm trying to find a manga where mc is researching magic in a cave. He has a familiar and can't die because both of them drink something so he can research magic for longer... His familiar didn't want to drink it but the potion fell into his/her drink. After years have passed he finally goes outs...

In the original Dune by Frank Herbert there is a scene where Jessica is analyzing everyone seated at the table, looking through their words and seeing what they truly want. Is there any way Villeneuve can accurately describe this scene? I've watched his previous movies and he seems to avoid inter...

Inspired by this thread - I remember watching a cartoon in my childhood (mid 90s)about a group of people who battled some baddies (I think) in a very mountainous terrain. Their main gimmick was backpacks that could shoot harpoons simultaneously to the front and rear, stretching a rope across the ...

As it seems there are quite different numbers in terms of what number of losses really hurts starfleet and also the fleets of the other empires. In the reboot it sounded like the klingon force that got destroyed was very huge, the same as with the fleet from starfleet that was also destroyed by t...

With the slingshot theory around the sun, any spaceship with warp speed 8 can travel backward or foward in time. So, ok, it's broken and it's what happens when writers have no clue to end an episode, but it's canon now... so why has it never been used after?

Hardback, in English. Author was male & probably American. Published late '80s - Early '90s. Plot (as best I can remember): Earth loses contact with first Mars expedition. Second expedition discovers members of first mission have become vampires (can't remember how). Very gory & downbeat - death ...

So MC's sister wrote a novel because she recieved some kind of massage telling her what is going to happen in two years. She had to let the world know, but in an indirect way. Everyone became ~2.0 cm tall, in return for their height loss, everyone gained an ability. MC had the title "Prince" and...

In chapter twelve of the fifth book, Snape assigns the following: "Homework: twelve inches of parchment on the properties of moonstone and its uses in potion-making, to be handed in on Thursday." To memory, the next chapter shows Harry and Ron complaining about both this and the obviously trivi...
