Dobby is such a weird character. I understand why Harry Potter needed its own version of Gollum, but Dobby feels more like an annoying obstacle than a character that could actually have a really interesting backstory. I feel like the Harry Potter fandom is pretty split down the middle on whether Dobby is a stupid …

Tomorrow is Halloween, which we all know is a bittersweet day in Harry Potter’s life. On that very day in 1981, the first wizarding war ended, Harry got his iconic lightning scar by surviving the killing curse, and Voldemort killed his parents. Based on his history with the holiday, I’m pretty certain Harry wasn’t looking …

This week, we lost an absolute legend. Actress Maggie Smith, best known for her roles in Downtown Abbey and Harry Potter, died on September 27th at the age of 89. Any Potterhead worth their salt knows that the series wouldn’t have been what it was without her involvement. She and Richard Harris were both incredibly …

It’s wild how many times Voldemort could’ve unalived Harry but didn’t. I know it’s a little 2007 to point out plot holes in Harry Potter books, but I’m still shook about so many of them. He couldn’t have done him much harm in the first book, considering he was a parasite who had to attach …

It’s difficult to overstate the good that the character Hermione Granger did for the young girls who read about her. She made being a total nerd cool for so many kids. There have been nerd characters in books and movies forever, but what makes her exceptional is that she wasn’t a born genius. Hermione had …

It seems like they’re actually going through with it, and I am intrigued and compelled to see how it turns out. No matter what …
