'arry Pottah

19 Hilarious Harry Potter Quotes More Magical Than Laughing Potion

'arry Pottah

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. And as a dedicated Potter fan, chances are you’ve read many inspiring Harry Potter quotes, such as, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” But, while there are many wise Harry Potter quotes, many of our favorite Harry Potter memories are filled with laughter.

Turns Out I’m A Hufflepuff. Thanks A Lot, Sorting Hat!

'arry Pottah

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 >>>

7 Hogwarts Teachers You Probably Had IRL

'arry Pottah

How many of these teachers did you have growing up? At the time, we probably thought many of them were nastier than they actually were and didn’t give them full credit for all of their efforts to teach us all of the valuable lessons that we needed to learn (sometimes the hard way). Teaching is a tough job, even if you have a magic wand! For all of you Muggles out there who never received your owl from Hogwarts, don’t feel bad. Your own education may have been more magical than you gave it credit for! See if you can recognize some of the Hogwarts faculty among the familiar faces of your own Keep Reading >>>

To Me, Snape Will Always Be A Hero…RIP Alan Rickman

'arry Pottah

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

'arry Pottah

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 >>>
