No franchise is better suited for adapting into a theme park than Harry Potter . Star Wars Land at Disney has been a bit of a flop, and it's not hard to see why: Star Wars is not about buying things. When you're on a planet fighting wookies or whatever, you're not thinking about buying a t-shirt to commemorate the experience. That's where Harry Potter differs. Huge plot points of the books and the movies involve Harry going to shops to buy tools and food that are specific to the wizarding world…

The "Forbidden" Forest

The Harry Potter fandom was different before the movies came out. There was a unique stretch of time between 1997 and 2001 where nobody, and I mean nobody, knew how to pronounce Hermione's name. In hindsight, it's kind of difficult to believe that so few kids asked their parents how to pronounce the name of a main character from their favorite book series. She's a Shakespearean character, for crying out loud! The movies and the books have become so intertwined throughout the years it's hard to…

Not the worst living situation

Harry Potter fans love to praise the worldbuilding of the Wizarding World, and I understand why. Harry Potter is often the first prolonged series of books young readers will consume that takes place in a complex alternate universe. Because of this nostalgia, the worldbuilding gets a bit overhyped by fans who don't wish to see any of the series' flaws. The piece of worldbuilding that most befuddled me when I first read Harry Potter was the “genetic blood protection spell” that Lily allegedly cas…

"Forbidden Forest"

Well, it's official. A Harry Potter TV reboot is in the works at HBO. Apparently, each season is going to cover one book from the series. Like many Potterheads, I think this is a horrible idea. First of all, the last Harry Potter movie came out only 12 years ago . That is way too soon to do a full-blown reboot of the series. I also think it's a miracle that the Harry Potter movies were made as well as they were, and I doubt an HBO series is going to be able to strike gold twice with the same st…

Today marks three years since March 13th, 2020 , and we all know what that means. It has been three years since it all began. I remember I was in Missouri at my best friend's house, eating KFC and watching Unfriended . The guy who delivered the KFC said this was his first delivery. It was the beginning of one memorable year. Why did I mention this traumatic and terrifying time during a Harry Potter meme list , you may ask? If it weren't for March 13th and the events that followed it, I probably…
