In Harry Potter, a "cool female voice" speaks in the visitors' telephone booth at the Ministry. Is the name of the person who speaks in the booth specified or confirmed?

I'm looking for the name of a novella I read in an anthology, I believe it was a collection of nebula award winning science fiction but I'm not entirely sure.

I am trying to identify two short movies I watched on YouTube years ago. Both took place in same universum, clearly inspired by Half Life series, I think even some sound effects from the game were used, first movie was filmed in first person, and was mainly about fighting enemies looking almost...

If you have glass windows like on the ISS, how large can they be without breaking due to the pressure imbalance with breathable air on the inside and vacuum on the outside? In many science fiction shows, there are huge windows on spaceships. Take Stargate or Star Trek for example. I'm always won...

First of all, I've not read the book I'm only going off the film.

I think it was Duras, because Duras was a backstabber, and he was capable of anything. Gowron, as hostile as he was to the High Council, doesn't seem like the type to kill in a cowardly way. He was openly a fighter. If he wanted to fight Kympec, no matter how suicidal that was, he would have done...

Philosopher's Stone/Sorcerer's Stone tells us Hogwarts has 142 staircases: “There were a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts: wide, sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that led somewhere different on a Friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up that you had to remember...

I'm new to this, so I'm sorry if I mess up formatting or something. I'm looking for help finding a book I read when I was really young. It was a thick paperback sci fi novel, and it seemed pretty old. I don't remember anything specific about the cover other than it was kind of a generic spacey sc...

I can clearly remember starting to read this manga online, but never finishing.
