19 Hilarious Harry Potter Quotes More Magical Than Laughing Potion
What does Voldemort use Twitter and not Facebook? Because he only has followers, not friends. If you rate that joke a 9 ¾ out of 10, you can count yourself as a dedicated Harry Potter fan.

Turns Out I’m A Hufflepuff. Thanks A Lot, Sorting Hat!
So, I was at a conference (sort of) recently and seated for dinner with other writer/reader types—who are also good friends I get to see not often enough—when the conversation turned, as it does, to Hogwarts’ houses. Look, don’t even pretend you haven’t had the “what house would you be in” conversation, or secretly sorted all your friends and enemies into their appropriate common rooms. Maybe not for a while, but Harry Potter hasn’t ever dimmed on the public consciousness, not with the theme parks and now a new movie. And there’s Pottermore sort of like a fansite, but official. Now, the Keep Reading >>>

To Me, Snape Will Always Be A Hero…RIP Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman is (and always will be) one of my favorite actors ever. The first time I ever saw him was as he played Hans Gruber in Die Hard. At the time I was too young to really know much about him, but I knew I hated him. My dad told me that was a good thing...that meant he was a good actor. Over the years I've watched him play hated character after hated character and somehow I fell in love with him. I don't know if it was his voice, or his eyes. Maybe the way he carried himself on screen, or the truly kind way he talked to his fans, but I fell in love. I think maybe it was Galaxy Quest. Keep Reading >>>
Madam Rosmerta’s Butterbeer Fudge
It should be noted that despite it's name, butterbeer has only a very slight alcohol content. It's been known to get house elves drunk, but only because their bodies are so tiny and they have no tolerance whatsoever on account they rarely drink the stuff. For wizards and muggles, butterbeer merely has a delicious flavor and though it will help lower inhibitions, it's on account of its magical qualities rather than any afore suggested ingredient hi-jinx. That being said, because of it's 'slightly' questionable name, Madam Rosmerta decided to create a less questionable Butterbeer Fudge. While Keep Reading >>>
