Your right, its got to be a small community of wizards when there are only 40 or so kids in each graduating class. In that context it makes some sense, but its not like they are limited by geographical or religious constraints to marry “Their own kind.” Although I guess having special powers you would naturally want…

I’m in NJ. My husband’s (as an Infectious Disease Physician) schedule and the conditions in the hospital returned to pre-pandemic in the summer. They had reduced office hours by half to put more ID docs in the hospital and they doubled up for on call weekends from February to July. They returned to normal schedules in…

The wave terminology has never made sense to me. Perhaps it’s because I live in America, where we’re always seeing egregious numbers. I sort of figured coronavirus won’t “go away” until there’s a vaccine or we all isolate for like two months. When people follow restrictions, numbers go down. When they don’t, they go…

I honestly thought we were still in the middle of the first wave because asking Americans to wear a mask, stay home, and socially distance made the Statue of Liberty cry and if we complied, martial law was imminent.

When did America come out of the first wave?

Tips I give all people who are moving:

I am so so exhausted. My uncle passed away last week and it has been such a long week and now today we had all the services in one day so I have been awake and surrounded by people since basically 8:30 this morning. Wakes and funerals are already awful occasions but the masks really top off the awful.

There’s so much I loved to hate about this show, including: Paris has a huge multi-cultural and multi-ethnic population, and yet we were purposefully served the whitest Paris imaginable (a la Darren Starr) - Paris, as Emily’s friend says “is really a small town” when you show disdain to going to any part outside a…

I survived my second week at my new job. And appraisal came back on the house I am buying just above my offer.

I feel like the third option is that they knew he had COVID before last Thursday and that he’s actually been sick a lot longer. If he tests negative now, it’s super suspicious because that means they were lying about the timeline this whole time.

The only possible reasons to lie about this now is that he knowingly went out infecting other people after a positive test, or he was barely being tested at all (which means they’ve been lying about that too).

I always thought it was weird that it seemed everyone left Hogwarts and immediately went into their chosen career and married someone else from Hogwarts. There’s never any discussion of wizard university. Maybe they all get apprenticeships? And what do wizards that don’t work for the ministry or Gringott’s do?

Wait, one of these gun-humping pro-sky wizard GOP figures is a hypocrite?!

Slughorn, Umbridge, Hagrid, Malfoy Sr, McGonagall were all 100s for the casting department.

His age also made his bullying of Harry, etc., so much creepier than it probably was supposed to be. You can see a man in his thirties still smarting from the wounds and being that level of inappropriate but someone in his fifties? CREEPY. It was only due to Rickman being  charisma in the shape of a man that it didn’t…

I still think that Slughorn in the 6th movie was probably some of the best casting of the entire film franchise.

I always thought that the relationships felt forced, especially the epilogue. For so many characters to get married to the equivalent of their high school sweet-heart is so far fetched.

To this day I don’t know what I think about Oldman’s Sirius.

I always questioned Harry ending up with anyone after the amount of PTSD he would have come out of the books with. He actually died ffs. That has got to mess you up.

“They have real-life meetings where they take turns channeling the spirit of Snape so they can have wedding ceremonies with him.”
