Re: Flash Fiction Round 4

As I unzipped my backpack, a mischievous fairy darted out, sprinkling glitter all over my desk. "Not again!" I groaned. She giggled, and then started giving a speech about how "magic fixes everything," before vanishing into thin air. "Now, where’s my duster?" I thought. (44 words)

Re: Flash Fiction Round 4

On a cold winter's night, Shanaya sat on a cosy rug , pulling on her woollen mittens . Suddenly, a velociraptor peeked through the window, its eyes filled with curiosity. She blinked in surprise, but smiled, thinking, "Just another day with my friendly, time-travelling, neighbourhood dinosaur." (44 ...

Re: Difficult Books

Wow, so many like-minded people here. I agree with Emily, February, Maeve and Galena, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit both were very slow, and I did get bored at different points of time. But after watching the movies, I was dedicated, and finished the whole series after reading them bit by bit...

Re: Wizarding World App

The new app and the website are pretty, and has fun quizzes and all. But I still miss the old Pottermore a lot. The Diagon Alley feature, the potion making mini-game, I don't know why they didn't add those into this new version. I think they could have added them in the app at least. Other than that...

Re: Potter Pronunciations

Okay, here's a fun one. I had watched the movies first and later read the books, since I did not really like reading books when I was young. So I always used to think that the Tickling Charm's incantation is "Rictu m sempra" instead of "Rictusempra" (Ric-tuh-sem-pra) . So when I actually read the bo...

Re: If the sorting hat sorted you into another house than your current one, what would it be?

I'll have to go with Ravenclaw, because I think I do have a lot of Ravenclaw qualities, for example, I like to solve riddles and other sorts of puzzles, I study a lot, etc.
