Since the announcement trailer and poster were released on December 15th, Fantastic Beasts-related news has been coming at the fandom about a mile a minute. With limited time in my schedule lately, it’s been difficult to even keep up with reading everything, much less share the things that I’ve read on my own website. At this…
The Wizarding World you thought you knew is much larger than you imagined. History has many secrets. The official story is never the whole story. In classic myths and legends, we try to explain the unexplainable. In Prometheus the Fire-Bringer, Greeks explain how Prometheus disobeyed Zeus and gave the human race a way to light…
If this is your first time hearing about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you might be a “no-maj”. Fantastic Beasts is, of course, one of two schoolbooks of Harry’s that J.K. Rowling published in 2001 during the unbearably long wait between Goblet of Fire (published in 2000) and Order of the Phoenix (published in 2003). It’s…
Yesterday, I posted an article theorizing the answers to these questions: “Where is the American Wizarding school located? What is it called?” While writing that article, so many more questions floated to my mind’s surface, too many to include in the article I write yesterday.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort (spoiler alert!) kills Harry Potter. But not really. Voldemort really only killed the part of himself that resided within Harry, and Harry then came back to do away with the rest of him. I guess you really can’t keep that boy wizard down. After Deathly Hallows was published in…

Since then, I’ve read so many pleas posted on your Internet (while muggle technology cannot function within the Hogwarts castle walls, I have been known to use it from time to time…
In case you missed it, last Saturday Martin Freeman hosted Saturday Night Live, which brought about, among other great sketches, an epic mashup of his two best-known characters. As the entire world knows by now, Martin Freeman played Bilbo Baggins in the three Hobbit movies (the last of which was just released in theaters in this past…
Ever since the release of the Lord of the Rings fan films (Hunt for Gollum and Born of Hope), I’ve wondered why a Harry Potter fan film doesn’t exist (the fan musicals don’t count!) and wished that someone would create one! Well, now someone has. It’s called “The OMEn Chronicles”, and it is not a…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been an entire month since I boarded a plane to Portland, Oregon for LeakyCon 2013. While I was there, I attended several events, mostly at the main stage, and mostly because I was working during the events. However, despite my busyness, I can share some thoughts about the events…
