Now that's a name!

Fantasy and sci-fi movies aren't known for having small budgets. As series go, the film adaptations of Harry Potter were not cheap. In fact, if we include the Fantastic Beasts films, the Harry Potter film franchise has cost well over $1 billion dollars. It's also made well over $1 billion, at least 8 billion on top of the film budgets. Numbers like this are a bit overwhelming for our little brains. So when we heard Cracked took a stab at Harry Potter f or their latest $20 Movies installment, yo…

I dare you, Warner Bros

Mostly politics-free

To say that we are not fans of JK Rowling would be an understatement, but even if she stopped being a TERF, there's plenty to admonish her for. Today, we learned of another reason. While people have been discussing the subject of JK Rowling's sorta kinda racist map of the Wizarding schools for some time, the controversy (and later, hilarity) came to our attention via the @TerribleMaps Twitter account. The @TerribleMaps post features a fan's geographic depiction of Rowling's schools (the origina…

Gilderoy Lockhart is one of the funniest characters in the entire Wizarding World. He's one of those goofy, incompetent, largely unimportant fake-out villains that could've only come out of the first couple of books. It is such a wonder how this man even got hired at this school. Professor Quirrell, I get it. He's a socially awkward guy who happens to have Voldemort on the back of his head, but at least he knows the basic tenants of magic! Lockhart is worse at magic than 12-year-old kids who ha…

Being sorted into your Harry Potter house is one of the most important moments of a young Potterhead's life. There are so many ways to do it. If you're one of the lucky ones, you can do it in person, like my friend who was sorted into Hufflepuff at a bookstore the night of the Deathly Hallows book release. Imagine how much fun it is to have a real sorting hat plopped on your head as an eight-year-old? Lucky dog. If you were sorted in the pre-Pottermore era, you likely had to fill out a question…

Being a Harry Potter fan isn't the easiest these days. It's true that I have fond memories of blasting through ever long book, waiting in line for releasees at Barnes & Noble, and even joining a sorting community on LiveJournal. Even as a proud Ravenclaw, I take great issue with JK Rowling's incredibly vocal stance on trans women. Instead of abstaining from the series altogether, we prefer to enjoy Harry Potter-related content that comes from other sources - namely, meme makers and Twitter user…
