 | Anonymous Hiya! I'm psyched for the follower appreciation weekend coming up, but I have a question. You said we could submit graphics which I'm interest in doing but how would that work? Would people still be able to tell who made the graphic or if we submit are we basically giving the rights to you guys? Sorry just kinda confused lol! (: have a good night! |
Well in the past people have expressed interest in submitting their fanart and such to us and it’s not something we’ve done for various reasons but this weekend seems like a good time to open that window, even if just briefly. We would definitely ask that anything submitted be made by the submitter to avoid a bad situation and we would give full credit in the caption.
 | Some of the fanfic OTPs confuse me. I don't understand why a true Potterhead would want one that's not canon. The only one I can understand in Nuna because it's kinda pushed in DH2. But I really don't get Wolfstar. What character combination is Wolfstar? I've been trying to figure it out for months and I still don't know! |
Why is a true Potterhead defined by what they ship, though? I ship Draco x Hermione to the moon and back and I don’t feel like it in any way invalidates my love for the series or my respect for what Jo wrote. I love the books as is but I also love them so much that I want to explore other options because the characters in them are worth looking at from several different angles, whether that be through a canon or non-canon lens. I really draw the line at people wanting to define for others what’s a true fan and what isn’t. Everyone experienced and continues to experience the series differently. That’s not a bad thing.
And Wolfstar is Sirius x Remus.

| Anonymous I bet you anything Emma only turned up for that little boy because it was good press for her. |
I heavily disagree with this notion, but even if that is true, look at his face. He’s clearly very happy to have met the girl who he sees as “Hermione”. I’m not really sure why a celebrity’s good deed all of a sudden falls to rot to some people because they might have done it for the publicity. If it made any sort of difference in someone’s life or even just their day, who cares? I think that matters way more.

It looks like Grimmauld Place is going up at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando as part of the expansion! And, according to a permit filed by Universal, we may also see The Fountain of Fair Fortune somewhere near Florean Fortescue’s (I’m positively screaming over the seemingly definite inclusion of the latter, I LOVE Florean Flortescue)!
I’m ready to start planning my next vacation to Florida after the Grand Opening of this expansion, everything looks and sounds magical so far. Who’s going with me?
