It's been quite a long while since I've seen the film. So, what if the younger Tom Riddle was successful of coming back to life, wouldn't he become a dangerous threat to the real Voldemort?

Surely he would be as selfish, evil, scheming, and ambitious. He would attempt to eliminate his frail counterpart in Goblet of Fire, a seemingly loose end.

And why didn't the other Horcruxes have the same Tom Riddle manifestation?

HBO defended J.K. Rowling's involvement in its upcoming "Harry Potter" TV series, emphasizing her creative contributions and her right to express personal views despite controversy over her anti-trans statements.

Rowling's outspoken gender-related beliefs have deeply divided the Harry Potter fanbase, with some advocating for boycotts and others finding ways to reconcile their love for the franchise while opposing her views.

Despite fan backlash and fractured enthusiasm, the "Wizarding World" franchise remains commercially strong, and Rowling appears unfazed by criticism, continuing to focus on her advocacy and involvement in the new series.

Just found it at a gas station in the middle of nowhere out in the country lol now I just need Professor Trelawney and Luna Lovegood to finish the set!

I still have yet to find a Trelawney, Cho Chang, or Luna Lovegood and I'm beginning to think I never will 😢

Come hang out while we fight a giant snake

Nowhere in my town has these anymore but I recently had to go out of town a few times and found more Harry Potter Kinder Eggs in a few stores way out in the country lol!

The only ones I don't have yet are Professor Trelawny, Luna Lovegood, and Cho Chang! I'm starting to think they don't actually exist lol

This puts me at 7 out of 12 figures! It looks like a lot of places near me are running out of the Harry Potter Kinder eggs now, so I'm not sure how many more I'll be able to get lol

I've found 5 so far, only 7 left to go!

"From a first-time appearance of the Divination classroom to surprise Boggarts and the Monster Book of Monsters, the Studio Tour is celebrating 20 years of Prisoner of Azkaban in the most fantastic of ways this summer - with plenty of new additions to look forward to.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is inviting us all to "Return to Azkaban" from 1st May, promising a fresh selection of props, costumes and sets all dedicated to the beloved third instalment of the Harry Potter series.

The biggest addition will be a first-time instalment of Professor Trelawney's Divination classroom, complete with velvet pouffes, patterned rugs and a tower made of 500 vintage teacups. (Well, we know Sybill loves her tea leaves!)

Beyond the Divination classroom, fans will be able to discover the interior of the famous triple-decker Knight Bus, as a full cross-section of the set will be displayed. Be amazed at the Knight Bus in action as the set rattles the beds, just as they did when bus driver Ernie made his bumpy ride with Harry through London.

Of course, the third Harry Potter story also gave us our favourite Defence Against the Dark Arts professor (not that it was a tough contest) in Professor Lupin. To pay homage, the Studio Tour will reveal a new section of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on display, complete with the Art Nouveau-style Boggart wardrobe and that sinister Boggart jack-in-the-box. We hope you've been practising "Riddikulus"! WBSTL-return-to-azkaban-2024-key-art-landscape

Other highlights of Return to Azkaban include stepping foot into the magnificent Great Hall under an enchanted ceiling filled with over 100 floating candles, before being regaled by the Hogwarts Frog Choir and seeing The Monster Book of Monsters go on a rampage in Harry’s room at the Leaky Cauldron. Sounds like a perfect day out!

New for 2024, Return to Azkaban will run from 1st May – 4th September and all new features are included in the ticket price. Check the official website for all the details you need and to book your tickets.

It looks fun. PoA is my favourite film of the lot.

It's one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:

1. The fandom/books are not the author
2. Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
3. In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
4. We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility

Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?
