What was your favorite prop or costume from the “Harry Potter” films?

Quote 14 May 53 notes
In my experience, longer wands might suit taller wizards, but they tend to be drawn to bigger personalities, and those of a more spacious and dramatic style of magic. Neater wands favour more elegant and refined spell-casting. However, no single aspect of wand composition should be considered in isolation of all the others, and the type of wood, the core and the flexibility may either counterbalance or enhance the attributes of the wand’s length.

Text 13 May 4 notes Standingonasoapbox’s Brief, Hole-Filled Guide to Finding Good Fanfiction

standingonasoapbox:

…especially if you’ve never read fanfiction before; in which case good luck to you :P check out this article if you want to know why people would even read or write fanfiction in the first place. It’s a crazy-fun world out there, and hopefully these few suggestions will enable you to enjoy it without getting put off by atrocious stories!

Ok, so this post is taken directly from a conversation I had with neverendingfouettes, who made the mistake of asking “Can you please link me to some good fan fictions?”
Dangerous question, as you may have guessed; I ended up spamming his messages with links and suggestions and tips for finding stories to the extent that he actually fell asleep while waiting for me to stop typing (sorry again!).

Please keep in mind when reading that the fics I suggest may not be ones you’ll like, especially since they were originally recommended and catered to one specific person. As with anything, the best way to discover what you enjoy reading is to actually go and see for yourself, but with luck this post will give you a good place to start from :)

[Based off of well over 3 years of reading, scrolling, and procrastinating… without a single story of my own to show for it.]

Chat 4 May 13,268 notes The moment when Harry takes Draco's wand
  • J. K. Rowling: I said to Arthur, my American editor - we had an interesting conversation during the editing of seven - the moment when Harry takes Draco's wand, Arthur said, God, that's the moment when the ownership of the Elder wand is actually transferred? And I said, that's right. He said, shouldn't that be a bit more dramatic? And I said, no, not at all, the reverse. I said to Arthur, I think it really puts the elaborate, grandiose plans of Dumbledore and Voldemort in their place. That actually the history of the wizarding world hinged on two teenage boys wrestling with each other. They weren't even using magic. It became an ugly little corner tussle for the possession of wands. And I really liked that - that very human moment, as opposed to these two wizards who were twitching strings and manipulating and implanting information and husbanding information and guarding information, you know? Ultimately it just came down to that, a little scuffle and fistfight in the corner and pulling a wand away.
  • Melissa Anelli: It says a lot about the world at large, I think, about conflict in the world, it's these little things -
  • J. K. Rowing: And the difference one individual can make. Always, the difference one individual can make.

Summary: Of course he should be dead by rights; he should have suffered a gruesome and final demise at my hands. But if I have to be trapped in another’s body once more, none could be more fitting for me - and more torturous for him - than his.
