Today I thought I’d analyze something that has puzzled me for quite some time: the mystery of wands. We know from PS/SS that the wand chooses the wizard, which has lead to much discussion and speculation on just what kind of wand different people in the HP series carry and what that means in terms of the plot.
by Sam Barre We all know that a wand is the most important thing in the wizarding world. Harry himself has been noted countless times to feel very exposed without his wand, which is...
by Antariksh Bothale We all hate Professor Umbridge. We love to hate her; we would kick her anytime. She is cruel, she is evil, and she is hate worthy; she is short, plump, and...

Today, I thought I’d continue to comment the Changeling Hypothesis, which I started on last week. I’ve received loads of owls on the subject, and most point out the same things; so I thought I’d start with that the most common questions.

Today, I thought I’d comment one of the theories there, called the “Changeling Hypothesis,” because 1) I find it fascinating and 2) it gives another perspective on the whole Harry-Voldemort issue which I wrote about in NT 19.
Now, let’s go on with today’s article: Why Ron is probably gonna get the axe before it’s all over.
Let’s start with killing off one myth: the Ollivander’s anagram. Sure, it spells out “Ronald lives” if rearranged. It also spells out “Ronald’s evil” though, so I don’t think that’s any guarantee our little redhead is going to make it through…
One of the most fascinating and enigmatic characters in HP is a man with many names. Voldemort, He-who-must-not-be-named, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the Dark Lord and You-know-who, to mention some. “Where did he come from? Who is he? Why is he evil?
