If you’ve see the “Very Potter” musicals (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), then this short film, written and directed by Yulin Kuang, is one for you. A quirky, romantic comedy, influenced by “Harry Potter” and starring Joey Richter, “I Ship It” is uniquely brilliant, and it sets a precedent for how all geeky romances should unfold.
It’s that time of year again! MuggleNet looks back at all the ups and downs of “Potter” fandom in 2014 with our annual Year in Review.
It’s almost time for “AudioFictions” to say farewell. Before the MerMuggles gather for a final live episode next week, hear one last story from each of them, along with the staff’s reflections on the series.
In a thoughtful article for the January 2015 issue of “Elle UK”, Bonnie Wright talks confidence issues and how she overcomes them. She discusses how she has learned to retain her self-confidence, beginning from her time as a child on the “Harry Potter” set, to her current struggles in an industry that constantly causes self-doubt.
Whenever you ask a Potterhead who their favorite characters are, there is always a Weasley on the list, and that Weasley is never ever Percy. As a young fan, I would more quickly name Ron and Ginny among my favorite gingers, but as I’ve gotten older and reread the books, I find myself becoming more interested in, and sympathetic toward, Percy. Hear me out before you call him a prat. Okay, even I can admit he’s a total prat, but he’s my favorite prat. Here’s why.
“AudioFictions” is ringing in the holiday season with TWO new episodes! Hermione and Ginny are looking for a change of pace as the MerMuggles share new tales of unexpected romance in Episode 196, “Under the Misletoe,” and Episode 197, “A New Direction.”
WOULD YOU RATHER… have a pet Pygmy Puff or an owl? Before you answer, consider the following…
Jo has written about a lot of strong women in her work, but fans typically only cite Hermione (and maybe Ginny, if they’re feeling charitable) as her feminist characters. Love Ginny and Hermione as I do, there are so many fantastic women in the series who don’t get enough credit for being brave, smart, and strong. Do you really think Jo would only write a couple of characters to be feminist icons? In my opinion, every woman in the series has something to teach us about being independent, courageous, and wise. In Jo’s world, feminism isn’t just for the bold young warriors: Mothers and professors and fangirls can be feminists, too.
