Harry Potter movies are complete, but that of course does not mean that spinoffs cannot be made. The wizarding world, it seems, will see a return to the screen with a new trilogy based off J.K. Rowling’s book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It is being reported that the book will be adopted into a film trilogy.
These beautiful Harry Potter themed stilettos were made especially for a wedding, hand-painted by the bride’s sister-in-law. The Harry Potter and Hogwarts stilettos were made for the bride, while the house stilettos were used by the bridesmaids.
The phrases that make the headline happen to be the most used in three popular young-adult series, Hunger Games, Twilight and Harry Potter, in order. An analysis by Ben Blatt of Slate runs through the favorite adjectives, adverbs and the way to start off a sentence for each author. Me on the other hand, being a superficial idiot, find it hilarious to put their sentences together and laugh at the nonsense that ensues. Here’s more: “I don’t know. He sighed. Harry looked around.” and “I shake my head. I shrugged. Harry stared.” 10x points for visualizing the characters saying these lines in a very cheesy setting.
Playing up to the Harry Potter series, artist Jessica Martinez has created a set of animated gif images for all seven books of the series. The images focus on a primary event or object in the related book, and animate it for full effect. It would probably be more like how all images work in the Harry Potter world anyway.

Well, he’s just another dad on Instagram, and he’s also a celebrity.

In the animal kingdom world of Harry Potter, taxidermy creatures with funny names cast spells. This image shows the taxidermy collection of The Bloggess. She is still on the lookout for Draco Mouse-foy, Severus Snake, Hairy Otter and Dumble-Dormouse. We just hope the quest is successful and the set is updated soon.
In the illustrations of Christopher Ables, the classic bad guys from Disney and Harry Potter universe get to speak a few words of their wisdom. The odd one out is probably Severus Snape, who spent most of his career being the bad guy, only for us to later find out that he was the good guy all along! But that can wait because we’re too irritated to see Dolores Umbridge, though she should be probably killing “politeness,” rather than “kindness.”
