Dear Hogwarts students,

The Yule Ball is fast approaching and I encourage you all to pluck up some courage and ask your beloved to be your date!

So, which Harry Potter character are you going to ask this year, fellow wizards and witches?

Don't be like Ronald Weasley, claim them in this thread before someone else does!

__________

Make A Name For Yourself!

Invent a suitable wizarding name or create one using the HP name generator: http://www.harrypotter.bloomsbury.com/uk/fun-stuff/name-generator/

__________

Sort Yourself Out!

The final two digits of your initial post in these threads dictates which house you belong to:

0 - 2: Gryffindor
3 - 5: Ravenclaw
6 - 7: Hufflepuff
8 - 9: Slytherin

Add this to your namefield on all posts, e.g. Harry Potter (Gryffindor)

I must admit that mathematics was always the subject I did worst in back when I attended muggle school!

The previous sorting format allowed for a fair distribution of odds though with a handful of unlucky fellows being sorted as a Squib (!). Since nobody wants that I removed it so that all posters may have a chance to attend Hogwarts.

But, please, if you would care to recommend a more evenly distributed system of sorting then suggest it and I will update it immediately!

Well you Ravenclaw's certainly can't be faulted for your assertiveness, however Hermione has received your offer and is currently in Hogwarts tower thinking it over. The rather crass tone of your invitation, not to mention the fact that you admit she is your second choice for a date, must certainly have shaken her confidence!

We Hufflepuffs are known for the kindness we give to the elderly and less able members of our community, and while Rolanda is not in a position for amorous relationships with her students, she has consented (blushingly) to accompanying you to the Ball!

Should any other students who may not be able to secure dates within their cohort wish to attend the Ball with a teacher, then do let me know and I will ask which members of staff are willing!

Assuming this is supposed to be happening during the 4th book when the Yule ball canonically happened while the main cast were at Hogwarts, which it seems to be, Bellatrix would still be in prison as she and the other death eaters in Azkaban only broke out in the 5th book.

I doubt anyone courageous enough to ask some QT to the Yule Ball could stomach reading one of the dullest franchises in the

history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has

been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never

be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody-just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but its certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder,

beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Why are Durmstrang students such Chads? Durmstrang is objectively better than Hogwarts in every way. Even the villains are products of this. Just look at Voldemort vs Grindelwald, you could easily make a "The virgin halfblood vs the Chad conqueror" meme about them. I want a spin-off series about Durmstrang.
