Through out the entire series (both in books and films), we never have seen any of the Hogwarts ghosts at the Quidditch pitch. At least the House Ghosts should be at the match to cheer the teams, right? (I mean, even dementors went there to see Quidditch.)
What do you think?
P.S. And Peeves would be definitely delightful at the cheerful pitch during the match. So why did we never see him there, do you think he was banned from the pitch for some reason? (that actually makes sense lol)
...if a ghost passed through the veil?
When a wizard or witch die, their soul "pass on". However their conscious may reject death and return as a ghost at the consequence of a permanent impoverish existence for eternity. I do not know if the ghost is merely an unliving imprint of who they were while the soul passes on, or maybe the soul does not contain the consciousness while ghosts are the consciousness without soul? I dunno. But ghosts often regret not accepting their death when given to them.
So are ghosts the manifestation of souls forever trapped on Earth and if so, would the veil be a viable way for them to "pass on"?
Or could ghosts and souls be separate, that ghosts are an imprint that "belong" on our (wizarding world) side of the veil which if that's the case what would happen if they pass the veil?
1: Ghosts are souls which remain in the mortal world after the death of the body.
2: Dementors are able to consume souls.
So, could a dementor "eat" a ghost?
Recently I watched a video which touched on the idea that Aurelius Dumbledore was actually the son of Aberforth Dumbledore. While they didn't go into a great deal of detail- it did get me thinking about how that might tie in with what little know about who might be the mother.
Aberforth was born somewhere around 1883- 1884 which puts him at an appropriate age in 1900 for Aurelius to be born in 1901, but what do we know about his relationships during his youth? The only reference we have is that there was a scandal regards inappropriate charms on a goat.. which always struck me as an odd and perhaps inappropriate detail for Rowling to include..
I took that small detail as a possible clue to something a little more magical and a little less twisted. I started to look at possible magical explanations, and was rewarded (hopefully) with something that may go some way to explaining the "Secrets of (Aberforth) Dumbledore"
I stumbled upon the Scottish myth of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaistig ,sometimes refered to "The Green lady". It refers to a ghost which can sometimes appear as a beautiful woman frequently with the lower half of a goat, or even appearing fully as a goat.
The fact that she's a ghost ties in nicely with HP lore that only wizards can come back as ghosts, and that these particular ghosts haunt castles..
I theorize that Aberforth fell for a fellow student at Hogwarts and that this student gave birth to his son- but perhaps died in childbirth- becoming a Glaistig. This would perhaps explain not only why we never see Aberforth with a wife, why he's now living in the village just outside Hogwarts and why his Patronus is a goat. It wasn't that Aberforth was casting inappropriate charms on a goat- he was perhaps only spending time with his dearly departed love. It might also explain why Aurelius was in the care on an Aunt. The aunt in question would be the sister of the departed girl (It couldn't be Ariana for example..)- but makes sense in terms of why the child wasn't with the mother.
I'm particularly fond of the idea as it casts Aberforth in a far better light than the previous goat reference had placed on him, explains his patronus, his bitter nature, reluctance to stray to far from Hogwarts, and how there could be another Dumbldore without twisting the timeline for Kendra or Percival..
Thoughts?

Could ghosts be able to move on to the afterlife once they have resolved all their unfinished business?
This is a fanfic I have about my OC, Marie. Marie becomes a ghost, because that's how things go sometimes. But just HOW did she become a ghost? That's what you're going to find out.
Hi. My name is Marie. Marie McKorn. You probably know me as the Hufflepuff ghost. Others call me the Girl Who Died Too Young. That gets a bit frustrating now and then. You’re probably wondering, ‘Well, Marie, how did you become a ghost?’ Well, I’ll tell you.
It was a regular old Hogsmeade weekend. I was up in my dorm getting ready for my date with my boyfriend, William Carson. Will and I were celebrating our two-year anniversary and I was the most excited person ever. My wavy light blonde hair was down my back, covering the lace back of my dress. It had a white lace top over a mint green bodice and skirt. I had only put a little bit of makeup on because I despise putting on so much makeup that it looks tacky.
I opened the door and walked out of my dorm and into my common room. I grabbed my favorite white leather jacket that complimented my outfit and smiled at myself in the mirror. I had a feeling it was going to be a great day. I did not know how wrong I was.
I walked through the halls, humming to myself and got to the second floor, fifth corridor. Then I heard shouting. I ran down the hallways to find two boys, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin, with their wands pointed at each other.
“Why don’t you shut up, you insufferable toerag,” the Gryffindor shouted.
“You do so, you bothersome numbskull,” the Slytherin roared. They also uttered more not-so-nice words that I am not going to repeat.
I rushed between then and screamed, “Stop!” They didn’t listen, or maybe they just didn’t have time to.
The Gryffindor shouted, “Stupefy!” and before I knew it, the Slytherin yelled, “Flipendo!”
I was thrown back and I felt something hit my head. I drifted into unconsciousness then I woke up.
I was still in the same place I had been when I was knocked out, yet there were people standing over me. Madam Pompfrey, the school nurse, Headmistress McGonagall, and my boyfriend, Will. I did a mental check on myself. All of my limbs? Check. All of my five senses? Check. I seemed to be fine except for the fact that I had a splitting headache.
I tried to stand up and realized that I could stand up. Quite easily, in fact. It was like I was floating. Then I looked down. Lo, and behold, I actually was floating.
I looked up and stared at Will. “I’m dead, aren’t I?”
Will looked at me, his eyes holding back tears. “Yeah.” I tried not to cry. Things were never going to be the same.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed! I am debating writing a sequel, so let me know what you think!
Just a random idea I got XD

Why couldn't the ghosts at the battle of Hogwarts participate in fighting? isn't this the best method? they cannot die or get hurt but I'm pretty sure they can harm.
-all the Hogwarts ghosts
-Fat Lady
-Crookshanks
Can the ghosts (from the Wizarding World) affect the Muggle world? Are they allowed to roam around the Muggle world? Can they be seen by Muggles?

When someone dies in the Harry Potter books, they often have a funeral, but what happens when that person is a ghost? Per say, Professor Binns died, but he was still there in ghost form, so would they really have any reason for a funeral?
Snape: "Let us ask potter how we would tell the difference between an inferius and a ghost"
Potter: "Er- well- ghosts are transparent"
Snape: "Oh very good...Yes it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education has not been wasted on you, Potter. Ghosts are transparent"
😂😂😂😂
This definitely isn't my best one so far, the colors are a bit--eh. but if you have an idea for tomorrow, tell me and ill put it into consideration :))

If you can, you live forever, right? And you, like come back from ghost-ship? IDK. Put your thoughts in the comments. Badger out!
Why weren’t the hogwarts founders ghosts in the castle when they died? My theory is that they might take all the attention and all the other ghosts would be pointless
