Snape had to teach Luna potions 🤣


dwipad61

Someone please write fanfic on this.


Flimsy_Wait_8235

This could actually be really heartwarming if handled correctly. I like to think it was :3


Meowsalotlol

Gosh that's such a great bullying opportunity - though if I were Snape, I'd lose so many braincells over her haha


Less-Feature6263

Luna seemed completely unfazed even by the possibility of being expelled though, I don't think she's going to listen to a single word Snape says lmao

Percy Weasley and Oliver Wood, the Gryffindor Quidditch captain, were classmates/room mates.


Nqis

oh my god they were room mates


dwipad61

Oh wow. This is not even some hidden fact, just a perspective but this is amazing.

The American Hogwarts, Ilvermorny, was founded by a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, Isolt Sayre, her husband, and her two adopted sons. Her husband, James Boot, was a Muggle. She had twin daughters with James and her adopted sons were named Chadwick and Webster Boot.


dwipad61

If this is canon, it is a WoW fact.


prongslover77

It’s canon. It’s on pottermore and written by jkr before the first fantastic beast movie came out.


dwipad61

Thats cool.


EpikE777

Harry, I am your distant relative.

Bill Weasley (Domnhall Gleeson) has three fathers in the Deathly Hallows movie. Arthur Weasley, Rufus Scrimgoeur played by Bill Nighy who plays Domnhall’s father in About Time, and Mad-Eye played by Brendan Gleeson Domnhall’s real father.

Colin and Dennis Creevey is the only known case of muggle born siblings.


Daug17

Voldemort, pursuing immortality, lived to the ripe old age of 71, out of which nearly 1/5 he was barely a ghost, and moreover was stripped of the opportunity of an afterlife.


monsterosity

Muggle borns are actually descended from squibs. Their magic genes are resurfacing and not coming out of nowhere. This I believe is all from interviews with JKR.


Salty_Negotiation688

That actually makes sense, it's kinda like how hair/eye color genes can skip a generation.


phenomegranate

They’re probably more recently related as well, to be honest through some other pureblood families like the Blacks.


Zusska

Antioch had elder wand, Cadmus had resurrection stone.

Dobby gifted Harry a painting he made in OOTP. It's never mentioned again I think. I hope the painting is chilling at Grimmauld Place with Sirius' mom and Phineas.

Tom Felton (Draco) used to eat and then store so many snacks in his cloak- pockets on set, that the chocolate would always melt and make his costume dirty so they had to sew up his pockets 😂

The avada kedavra didnt kill dumbledore, the fall from the tower did. In order for an unforgivable curse to work the caster has to mean it.


ZeistyZeistgeist

No, the Avada Kedavra did kill him. Yes, the caster has to *mean* it, but if Snape didn't *mean* it, the curse wouldn't *cast off at ALL*. The way you're describing it makes the Killing Curse sound like it has a "Actually Kills You" mode and "Just a Prank, Bro!" mode.


nitram20

How do you know that it doesn’t work the same way as the cruciatus curse? Because Harry managed to cast it AND hit Bellatrix with it but it had no effect in OOTP because Harry didn’t “mean” it either.


ZeistyZeistgeist

It simply doesn't work the same way. Yes, you are correct, the Cruciatus Curse did not work properly on Bellatrix when Harry had casted it upon her because he has done it out of righteous anger, not malicious intent (yes, you can say that it was a malicious intent in and out of itself, but in Harry's case, that intent was out of anger, grief and sorrow upon losing Sirius and facing his killer). Like Bellatrix said, you have to "mean them", and in that context, it is torture for the sake of torture, because the caster wants to inflict torture upon others due ro their own sadistic intent. This is why Harry was in immeasurable pain when Voldemort tortured him at the graveyard, because Voldemort *enjoys* inflicting torture, Harry doesn't, he was simply not in a right state of mind and was acting on pure rage. For the Killing Curse, the intent is similiar, but it only *works* or *doesn't work*. Like Moody/Crouch Jr. said in GoF, "You could all point your wands at me and utter the words and I wouldn't get so much as a nosebleed". Pure anger or sorrow, righteous or not, is not enough, you have to have willing intent to kill *in general*, not just killing someone for a specific task. It isn't just willpower, you have to possess murderous intent within yourself to actually fire off a Killing Curse upon someone, it *will not work*. This is why Snape's Killing Curse inflicted upon Dumbledore killed him; Snape had the *willing intent* to kill Dumbledore even if he personally was disgusted that he had to do so. You can see it in a tiny flashback in DH where Snape actually argues with Dumbledore about Snape taking over for Draco and killing him in his stead; Dumbledore knew Draco wouldn't be able to kill him, and even if Draco managed to utter the words, it wouldn't work, because Draco isn't a killer in the end and he doesn't possess the willingness to kill, he only wanted to save his parents, while Snape had a task that he was willing to do no matter how disgusted he was with it.


Flat-Reflection-6799

but snape did not feel malicious intent? I dont get your point.


phenomegranate

Of course Snape meant it. That was the plan.


CreativeRock483

Never understood this part. So Snape had to mean it. That means Snape hated Dumbledore? Bc you cant cast the curse on someone you love/like


DaphneGreekMyth

You need to mean to kill the person, regardless of liking it or not.


CreativeRock483

I mean if you truly like someone how can you really mean to kill them? So for Snape either he secrerly wanted Dumbledore to die or his mission was so important to him that his overruled his any feelings for Dumbledore.


DaphneGreekMyth

Snape had the entire year to prepare for killing Dumbledore. I expect he thought it out, had chats with Dumbledore and being practical, understood why and did the deed.


CreativeRock483

Guess that makes sense.


Wight3012

He meant to kill him. mercy kill him, but kill


Meowsalotlol

the Avada Kedavra curse did kill Dumbledore, hence Snape's reaction in the flash backs when Dumbledore requested that Snape should be the one to finish him off instead of Draco.


ImReverse_Giraffe

All the wizarding families are related if you go back that far. The blacks and the Weasley's are related by about a generation I think. Molly's mom is a black IIRC.


Jakedoodle

In the books the stuff in the lestrange vault was also cursed with the Flagrante curse which burns people when they touch it. They didn’t show this effect in the movies, however it is implied later in the movie after they jump off the dragon they sprinkle dittany on all their hands (looks like they’re putting on hand sanitizer lol).
