1- It will be interesting to see directly influenced JK movies. I think we all want to see the Grindelwald X Dumbledore fight.
2- I totally forgot about Harry acting out the various creatures. Very funny to think about.
3- It is amazing that Lockhart has gotten away with his scam for so long. I guess no one ever fact-checked him.
4- Higher Education in the magical world is clearly on the job training apprenticeship. And yes, being a Hogwarts teacher seems to require NO extra training.
5- As to casual reading in the HP Universe, check out this reddit thread:

6- The scene of Harry losing the bones in his arm makes me squirm as well. And the thought of regrowing the bones is awful.
Martha’s story of how her younger self would have envied Harry playing out those roles.
For some good Lockhart fanon, check out everything that Fernwithy wrote about him. She had the sweetest head canon that Gilderoy, Andromeda and Ted were a trio of friends at Hogwarts and wrote fanfics about them.
I liked Alice’s librarian insights.
Nine jab about how the Lockhart books were fiction masquerading as non-fiction. Oh, wasn’t there Ron’s Muggle comic book series?
‘Scarhead’ made me chuckle.
House elf magic is scary. If they weren’t subordinate to wizards, they could do some serious damage to the world.
P.S.: I took the Pottermore sorting quiz. I was really hoping for Hufflepuff, but I didn’t complain when I got Gryfindore!
