I was at this small book fair and I randomly found these. These were the only three sadly, but still stoked I have them :D

> Reportedly, there is a new Lego Harry Potter game in the works as an image promoting it was spotted on the Warner Bros. South Africa Instagram account.

> Per Video Games Chronicle, this now-deleted post showed a Lego Minifigure of Harry Potter with the logo for TT Games and a date of August 25. TT Games is the British developer and publisher behind the Lego games and this date overlaps with Gamescom, one of the industry’s largest trade fairs, which will be hosted over August 23 to August 27 in Cologne, Germany.

> Rumours that there is a Lego Harry Potter game that would mimic the structure of 2022’s Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga popped up in March of this year. Nintendo Life‘s source said that the game was “sucking up the studio’s resources” and that a Lego Guardians of the Galaxy game was cancelled at the same time.

Just wanted to post a beautiful peice of art that I saw some time ago that needed sharing. I love the style, textures and emotion too.

There are about seven more images that you can go and see at the link above.

I once regretted not being able to post my own copies' covers, so I decided to look up and share how they combine when on the shelf in order. Also, Ukrainian translation was really good, as I was able to confirm once I learned English enough to read these in it

But man, I remember that party at the bookstore being so fun. I'm a little late for the 16 year exact, but I found the sticker today.

The actor – now 35-years-old – said via LadBible: “I was told in no uncertain terms by Alan Rickman, ‘don’t step on my fucking cloak’. I sort of giggled, the Death Eaters and I looked at each other [like] ‘is he joking?’ It quickly became apparent that he was definitely not joking.

> “The next take, the director was very keen for me to walk as close as I can to Alan, and we got about half way down the Great Hall before [mimes getting choked around the neck]. You have to bear in mind that his cloak was attached around his neck. [I] nearly killed the poor man. Then he turned around again and gave me a look that you never ever want to see.”

> “Very luckily, the next take someone else stepped on his cloak, so that kind of took the heat away from me. ***

The upcoming television reboot of the fantasy franchise was confirmed by HBO earlier this year, and will be the first-ever series based on the iconic books.

Are you guys doing the same?

I tend to rewatch the movies around Christmas personally tbh.

I'd make 3 Horcruxes. One I'd place in a stone or seashell and chuck it into the ocean. I'll put another in a NOKIA 😂. Since living beings can also be made into Horcruxes, my third pick may be a Phoenix.

> The wizarding family of Potters descends from the twelfth-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, ...whose nickname, ‘the Potterer’, became corrupted in time to ‘Potter’... His reputation as a well-meaning eccentric served Linfred well, for behind closed doors he was able to continue the series of experiments that laid the foundation of the Potter family’s fortune ...as the originator of a number of remedies ...including Skele-gro and Pepperup Potion. His sales of such cures to fellow witches and wizards enabled him to leave a significant pile of gold to each of his seven children upon his death.

So that's how the Potter family initially get their wealth. Fanfiction writers often attribute it to 'Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion' which is also fact but more recent.

> Linfred’s eldest son, Hardwin, married a beautiful young witch by the name of Iolanthe Peverell, who came from the village of Godric’s Hollow. She was the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell.

Incidentally or otherwise knowing Rowling, Stinchcombe happens to lie 'west of Dursley'.

I found a rare cool resource in the form of a comment from the old place about the various accents of the characters of Harry Potter, in the films. This is not my post or comment. Credit to Travy911

***

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe): Contemporary RP accent

Ron (Rupert Grint): Speaks with more of a Cockney accent in the earlier movies but transitions into a less posh sounding contemporary RP accent than Radcliffe and Watson. Grint has commented himself on how surprised he is by how Cockney he sounds in the earlier films.

Hermione (Emma Watson): Contemporary to classic RP. Watson sounds the most posh out of the trio.

Most of the cast speak with contemporary or classic RP. Many of the older actors especially would use classic RP as that would have been the go-to accent in the earlier days of British film industry. The following exceptions are below however.

From the remaining Weasleys, Ginny (Bonnie Wright) has a contemporary RP accent. Percy (Chris Rankin) has what approaches classic RP which would reflect the character's social climbing ambitions. Mark Williams, Julie Walters, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps (Arthur, Molly, Fred and George) are all from the West Midlands which has its own distinct accent(s). This can be heard very faintly in their accents with Williams probably having the strongest accent. But Brummie (Birmingham accent, Birmingham the biggest city in the West Midlands) and Black Country accents (the surrounding area) can be much stronger. Domhnall Gleeson (Bill) is Irish but adopts a sort of Cockney-ish accent in the few lines he has as Bill.

Seamus (Devon Murray) and Luna (Evanna Lynch) have Irish accents. Murray and Lynch both grew up close to Dublin but Murray's accent is closer to a working class Dublin accent. Lynch's accent is more faint, neutral sounding and difficult to place in an exact region, heard in a lot of young Irish people. Rhys Ifans (Xenophilius) is Welsh but adopts a similarly neutral Irish accent. Xenophilius and Luna's nationality is never confirmed in the books.

Brendan Gleeson (Moody) is Irish and uses his natural Dublin accent in the role. Moody's nationality is never given in the books so not sure where you got Scottish from.

Richard Harris (Dumbledore in the first two movies) uses his natural Irish accent. Harris was a classically trained actor and spent much of his adulthood in Britain so it is mostly a soft Irish accent with the tiniest English lilt. Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in the later films) has a more pronounced English accent but has an Irish lilt to certain words to honour Harris' portrayal. Gambon was born in Ireland but primarily raised in England.

Katie Leung (Cho) and Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) are both from Glasgow and have typical Glaswegian accents. Katie Leung's accent is less strong and she acknowleded her Glasgow accent is stronger when around family on James and Oliver Phelps' podcast. Cho and Oliver's nationalities are never confirmed in the books.

Maggie Smith (McGonagall) is English but adopts a Scottish accent for the role, more like an Edinburgh accent. McGonagall was always implied to be Scottish in the books and Rowling confirmed she was from Caithness which is in rural northern Scotland. The Edinburgh accent is considered the "posh" accent in Scotland so makes sense that McGonagall might speak with this accent so she's more understood by students.

Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) is Scottish but adopts a West Country accent for role of Hagrid, which makes sense as Rowling writes his dialogue in a West Country accent.

Matthew Lewis (Neville) maintains his strong Northern Yorkshire accent in the role.

Shefali Chowdhury (Parvati) is from Birmingham and has the accent. Afshan Azad (Padma) who is from Manchester and has a Manchester accent confirmed in a YouTube video that she was asked to adopt Chowdhury's Birmingham accent for Padma as she states she's quite good at accents.

David Tennant is Scottish but like many of his famous roles has adopted a contemporary RP English accent as Barty Crouch Jr. Fiona Shaw (Petunia) is Irish but mostly has a classic RP accent as Petunia. Her Irish accent is more pronounced in the deleted Deathly Hallows scene where she acknowledges death of her sister. Shirley Henderson (Myrtle) and Kelly Macdonald (Helena Ravenclaw) are also Scottish but adopt RP English accents for their roles. Ian Hart (Quirrel) has a Liverpool accent but sounds more RP in the movie.

The international cast featured in Goblet of Fire are all cast appropriately based on their nationalities in the book and have the natural accents that go with it. Clémence de Poesy (Fleur) is French and Stanislav Ivaneski (Viktor Krum) is Bulgarian like their characters. Frances de la Tour (Madame Maxime) is English but with French ancestry and seems to adopt a decent French accent. Predrag Bjelac (Karkarofff) is Czech-Serbian. Karkaroff's nationality is never confirmed in the books but his name is Slavic in origin, which is the language group both Czech and Serbian belong too (although Slavic is large language family so someone with more knowledge could probably talk more about this).

Lee Ingleby (Stan Shunpike) has a strong Cockney accent in role, as Rowling wrote Stan's dialogue in this accent. Nick Moran (Scabior) also has a Cockney accent as Scabior.

Hopefully that covers all the accents! 😁

This is a fan made audiobook and is as described. The immersive soundscape experience involves background sounds, chatter, music and more. It's genuinely a great piece of work especially for an enthusiast's effort.

It may be removed by youtube soon, so here is an alternative link: https://castbox.fm/channel/Harry-Potter-|-Immersive-Soundscape-id5488497

It was printed as a non-profit project and I was lucky to be able to get a copy. In case you haven't heard about HPMOR, do check it out here, it's amazing.

P. S. I wish I could post a picture of Ukrainian translation of the main Harry Potter series - the covers were absolutely stunning, but those books were left in a different town :(

My favourite part is when the prophecy could have applied to Neville or Harry. This meant that Voldemort had the option to kill either one of them. Ultimately, he chose Harry. However, there was a possibility that Neville could have been The Boy Who Lived. It's a shame this plotline didn't make it into the movies.

It's fun to speculate how the story would have proceeded if it was Neville Longbottom & The Philosopher's Stone 😂.

Although I do like The Deathly hallows, Half Blood Prince takes the cake. The tale of Tom Riddle's past, Slughorn, Felix Felicis, Draco's reluctance to join the dark side and Dumbledore's ultimate demise is very enthralling. Prisoner of Azkaban takes a sweet third place.

I recently unlocked (lol) Alohomora and the broom so my exploration opportunities have greatly increased. Wow this world is big and exciting! I stumbled upon a couple of river trolls the other day. The combat is unique from any other game and very fun.

A shame they never had this kind of creativity in the latter movies. They basically became blasters from Star Wars where their lethality was dependent on the plot.

I’m a gryffindor!

Everynow and then I carve pine wands to give away to my sons friends.

I know there's candies and whatnot, but what if you're hungry at 3pm? If you go into the great hall and sit down, would food appear? How would I get a snack at 9am? Do they have like... Wizard Goldfish crackers? Like maybe giant squid crackers, lol. I'm rarely hungry at "meal times" so Hogwarts might be a problem for me.

I thought I'd start this community off with a classic post:

What are your favourite lines from the books that were not in the movies?
