People always hype up Snape’s occlumency skills in the face of lord Voldemort, yet no one brings up how Slughorn is implied to be masterful enough in occlumency to the point Albus Dumbledore himself admitted he couldn’t use occlumency to get info from him.

Voldemort is Neville's toad Trevor (and your childhood theory)
The very first time I read Harry Potter was in my native language Icelandic. As you're all probably aware Tom Riddle's name is changed in each language to fit the word-jumble to spell out "I am Lord Voldemort". Well in Icelandic it's "Ég er Voldemort" so the translator cleverly had his name be Trevor Delgome, you see where I'm going with this?
Because Trevor, the frog, featured so heavily in the first two books, and names give so many clues about the person, I cooked up a theory as a little kid that Voldemort and the frog were actually the same entity. I mean, McGonnagle could turn into a cat after all, and Trevor was always getting "lost" but then turning up.
You would have thought that I'd have Scabbers pegged from the start but nah, didn't even occur to me that he wasn't just a dopey little rat.
So this made me wonder, did you have any childhood theories based on something silly, tangential, or inconsequential?

What’s the story behind your first HP novel?
I read my first HP novel house sitting. In a neighbourhood called Oak Bay, in Victoria BC.
The home was a 1900’s heritage home, grand and full of character, the type of home that makes you want to read.
In my room was just a bed, night stand and some old paintings. On that night stand was a book, it was titled The Philosopher’s stone, peculiar because I remembered the name being Sorcerer’s stone growing up.
I read that book every night before bed, while the 3 story Victorian home above me creaked and settled.
I still have the book, and it’s crazy to be able to trace my whole love for Harry Potter back to one paper book copy of the Philosopher’s Stone.

A series about the 4 founders of Hogwarts would’ve been much more interesting to me than a remake. What backstory would you like to see fleshed out on screen?

Is there such a thing as too many re-reads?
So, I am approaching 30 and I've lost count of how many times I've read the Harry Potter series... It's twice this year alone.. Would it be weird if I started again (again again)? Do I seek therapy?

What Are Your Harry Potter Hot Takes?
Simple premise: Share an opinion about anything Harry Potter related that most people might disagree with.
My hot take is that Michael Gambon is the better Dumbledore. I don't know; I just like his take on the character more.

Goblet of Fire is my favourite book and least favourite movie. Anyone with similar discrepancies between books and movies?

I feel like Hugh Grant MUST have been approached for Lockhart right? It was that era and he would have been PERECT.
I can see it sooo clearly! He’d have been incredible.

Is Wormtail underrated? He spied for Voldemort right under Dumbledore's nose without anyone suspecting anything, successfully framed Sirius for his crimes and played a major in the revival of Voldemort.

They're awful to Harry, but... The Dursleys actually have a solid marriage?
I just reread the books and I have to say, I was touched by the supportive relationship Vernon and Petunia have. Vernon would go to great lengths to keep his wife happy (and not confronted with her deceased sister and her "abnormalities"). It's weird but I feel like this is real, unconditional love 😅 ofc they are horrible to Harry, but I feel like they have a very healthy relationship!

Never cheated
Why did Hermione get mad at Harry for using the half blood Prince’s potions book in potions class? He didn’t cheat. All Harry did was use instructions that worked. Hermione did the same thing. And also wasn’t she a hypocrite for getting mad at Harry for pretending to give Ron liquid luck even though she actually had confounded Mclaggen? I’m not saying Harry was right to use unknown spells but the potions instructions were useful. Doesn’t it seem like Hermione can do whatever she want but when other people do something wrong she judges them?

Lucius' punishment
Lucius Malfoy got punished by Voldemort for failing to collecting the prophecy for him. Draco had to kill Dumbledore and the whole stuff.
But what about the diary? He put it back to hogwarts even though Voldemort didn't tell him to and it got destroyed there. It's Lucius fault that his first Horcrux got destroyed and that Dumbledore knows about Voldemort's horcruxes that early. Yes, Lucius didn't know it was a horcrux, but I can't believe that Voldemort didn't kill Lucius or at least demote him in his ranks. Voldemort was already back a year before he sent people to get the prohecy. Surely he would've known til then, what Lucius had done.
Why didn't Lucius get punished? Did Voldemort just not ask about the diary again? Did Lucius actually get punished and I just missed/forgot it?

Why isn’t the horcrux inside Harry destroyed when he is poisoned by the basilisk in chamber of secrets ?
