Now that IS sad. tsk tsk tsk. ;)

Some great ideas here, but if you want a little more "serious weird" rather than "silly weird" give it a power that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it's cheese. This was one of the things I liked about the mini-series The Lost Room. The "objects" in that story had these huge...

Pure conjecture on my part, but I think it was to make it harder for Harry to accept his death. In real life, of course, people often go through a denial phase when someone close to them dies. By having Sirius die in this weird, ambiguous way, JKR makes it easier for us to sympathize with...

I never really game with people I don't already know, so it's not an issue.

*heavy sigh* I'd love to take a shot at that Roaring-20's, but I just don't have the time. I'll be paying close attention, though. :)

But that food was prepared by house elves ahead of time. Dumbledore just conjured it to a new location. A neat trick in itself, and not something the kids were ever taught in the series as far as I remember...

Bah. Will Smith isn't a legend. He's a god! :) I'm a big Will Smith fan. I look forward to this, though I hate to see Hollywood doing yet another big remake rather than something original.

"Human" :) Seriously, everything you're describing sounds like flavor text to me. They could easily just be an ethnic/social group rather than a separate race.

-Never mind, others beat me to it. :)

It doesn't even have to be a spell. In the fairy tale as Hermione read it, the original owner had his throat cut in his sleep. No magic involved at all.

And if they'd spend time actually listening to the "regular people" in their lives, it would get a whole lot bigger again. :)

Well one thing it did was repair Harry's wand, which Ollivander said couldn't be done.

Good point. Somehow I was thinking quite a bit of time had passed, but really Snape must have become headmaster pretty quickly after Dumbledore's death.

A good question. If it's still there, why haven't Death Eaters been using it to come and go from Hogwarts at will? Isn't the other one still at Borgin and Burke's (or wherever they had it)?

Remember the sequence in which Neville is praised for his ability to get the room to do what he wants. Apparently you have to be something of a Rules Lawyer. I wonder if Neville posts on EN World? ;)

It didn't say. Since the series is new to BBC America, I assume it's series 1.

Sweet googly moogly! I just saw an ad on BBC America. Torchwood premieres in September. Yay! :D

The one thing all those feats have in common is that they have a cost to use in addition to the feat itself (Attack penalty, money and iterative attacks, respectively) while this simply lets you take further advantage of something you're presumably using already (a high Int). I can see the...

Good stuff, all! Hmm. How about stepping stones or a thin causeway over the water? With the obligatory dangerous fish or other critters (or the afrementioned undead) in the water? I'm gettin' fired up! :)

That would be cool. I'm working on a new digital format for adventures (if I can get some time in the next week or so, the Collaborative Cave that der_kluge organized will be the first one). If I get it working correctly, I'd be glad to do a conversion of your adventure for you.
