From Wikipedia: "Tripe is a type of edible lining from the stomachs of various farm animals. Most tripe is from cattle and sheep."

(Haggis actually contains tripe: it's essentially oatmeal cooked in the lining of a sheep's stomach)

I actually don't mind liver, so I think I'd try that flavour!

I'm thinking this question about immortality might have to do with Ollivanders going back to 382 B.C. Garrick Ollivander himself didn't start the business; it was a family-run business, through many generations.

I like the "Restricted Section" scene, especially because it's what leads to Harry coming across the Mirror of Erised!

@SebxtraordinairilyStormy I'd say you hit the nail on the head with that last sentence!

(Puns/wordplay is another kind of humour that I love!)

I...can actually kind of see Draco possibly having some kind of feelings for Hermione. It does seem like he was always fixated on her, and singling her out quite often (certainly, bullies will do that with their targets, and Draco was a bully towards her, but maybe there was a bit more to his fixation on her than may have been obvious?)

The things he said to her and his behaviour is certainly not defensible, and I'm not trying to make excuses for it, but he may have been in conflict with and possibly troubled by the fact he had feelings for a "m**b***d" (using this word in the context of Draco and his family's viewpoint) (and a member of Gryffindor House, at that!), and some of his behaviour was at least partly a cover-up, of sorts. (I think there is still a good chance there wasn't anything there, and he was just being a jerky bully, but the theory he did experience feelings for Hermione is one I don't feel like I can entirely dismiss, either)

I certainly don't ship "Dramione", and don't think there was any kind of reciprocal feelings from Hermione towards Draco, if he indeed had feelings.

I agree as well. I also like the scene where Harry is with Hedwig, and he asks her, "Who am I, Hedwig?" It's a sad scene, but it shows how much he was struggling with not knowing his background, and what, if anything, his connection was to Salazar Slytherin and Slytherin House, and also, how isolated he was, with so much of the school suspicious of and scared of him. We do see in the movie the way he's being judged and shunned by a lot of students, as well as the self doubt and concerns Harry had, but this extra part with Hedwig just brings all of these negative things together, I feel (and it's touching to see him bonding with Hedwig, who, as his loyal pet, doesn't judge or think badly of him; along with Ron and Hermione, Hedwig was probably one of the only friends Harry felt like he had and could really count on in that specific moment)

Hedwig's death is probably the saddest death for me in the books, but I admit that dark, twisted humour (like this) often has an appeal to me!

Question 1

A: Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone

Question 2

C. Alan Rickman

Question 3

C. Voldemort

That looks amazing!

My favourite is Order of the Phoenix (Although Chamber of Secrets comes closely behind, and in some ways, I feel COS is the movie that was the best adaptation from book to screen, and therefore, might be the BEST movie)

I don't like either of them, but I guess I prefer Augustus Rookwood (since I dislike Dolohov even more)

Mine's a wildcat.

(This post will likely be locked, because there's an official one, like @SebxtraordinairilyStormy said. Don't worry; you won't be in trouble; it just makes things easier for the mods here to have specific threads for certain topics)

He was great! It's so sad how he and many other cast members have passed away 😔

Happy Birthday, Imelda! The way she made Umbridge so loathsome is a testament, I think, to how great an actress she is (she herself was disgusted by her character's actions, but portrayed the part perfectly!)

Books: Prisoner of Azkaban

Movies: Chamber of Secrets

It sounds like you might be a Slytherdor (primarily Slytherin, with Gryffindor traits)!

(This is only of course if you like the concept of having a hybrid house; I consider myself a Ravenpuff- Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff traits

If you just like to be considered a Slytherin, that's perfectly fine :) )
