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!

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?

Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman starred in the Harry Potter movie series as Sirius Black, and the actor credits the role with making him a better father. But Oldman didn't love everything about the Harry Potter series. On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Oldman said his performance in the films was "mediocre."

"I think my work is mediocre in it," Oldman said. "No, I do. Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what's coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently."

"It's like anything, if I sat and watched myself in something and said, 'My god, I'm amazing,' that would be a very sad day, because you want to make the next thing better," he said.

Also during the interview, Oldman revealed what he thought was the hardest scene to film in the Harry Potter series. He said this was the scene in Prisoner of Azkaban when he's lying by a frozen lake, with his soul leaving his body. Oldman said this took about a week to film, and all the time, he was just lying down and getting very cold and uncomfortable. "The hardest thing I had to do was lie next to a frozen lake," he said.

I've never seen these before or perhaps my eyes glossed over the 'notice me not' charms on them, but they look amazing.

I think its AI...

I've heard some people place a lot of the responsibility for Harry Potter becoming popular at the altar of the US Christian Right. Considering their wealth, reach and influence it seems plausible to me!

What's your recollection of that era?
