The Order of the Phoenix were a group of people who fought against Lord Voldemort and his villainous Death Eaters during the first and wizarding wars.

In the Harry Potter universe, there are millions of potions that we have probably never even learned about. From the most popular ones that we’ve seen in the movies, like the transformation recipe for Polyjuice Potion to the quick-fix solution Skele-Gro that grows bones in places you’ve broken them, Harry Potter potions are magic on their own. Between generations of wizards and magic passed down, there are so many different kinds of sorcery that happen when you mix different magical liquids to create a manipulative, love-struck, or even deadly concoction to use against your enemy....

On the surface, Crookshanks is just like any other kitty. He likes to curl up on his favorite chair or sleep in someone’s lap, eat spiders, run after gnomes in the Weasley garden, chase rats in their animagus form… Huh, maybe Crookshanks isn’t a typical cat after all? There is definitely more to him than meets the eye. In fact, he’s actually pretty magical. Being half-kneazle, Hermione Granger’s ginger pet is a very intelligent and suspicious creature....

It’s weird how Draco Malfoy has scores of fangirls on his side when he was really just a big brat who kept on getting lucky due to his father’s influence or because of dumb luck.

There are many moments where Malfoy should’ve been sent to Azkaban or, at the very least, been expelled....

New, interesting, but loyal adaptations come around once in a blue moon, but with the first season of Harley Quinn coming to an end on DC Universe, it’s safe to say that the show has presented its own comedic and self-referential take on the titular character and the wider DC universe with great success. Every episode of the first season has its fair share of laugh-out-loud jokes, well-constructed character moments, and a drive for the overarching plot and the emotional arc of it’s cast kept well in mind....

Fans have a way of taking what the canon of a novel, film, or television show presents them with and creating something of their own out of it.

The smallest of moments become the source for the most popular headcanons and fanfictions. The wizarding world of Harry Potter includes a vast list of characters, creatures, and settings....

Creating a house-points system at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is bad enough, but when we consider the logic behind Slytherin or Gryffindor always winning at everything in the Harry Potter world, it makes even less sense.

Some fans speculate that the two houses simply don’t care as much as the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses, which are home to wizards who crave fame and glory....
