I have no idea why, but for some reason people seem to think that Godric's Hollow is in Wales. And since the Potters lived there they decide that Harry is Welsh. I'm pretty sure it's just pure fanon.

 

Having Godric's Hollow in Cornwall makes much more sense to me. The West country seems to have a much higher concentration of magical people then any other part of England. You have Ottery St. Catchpole, Shell Cottage, and most of the quidditch teams in Britain, all located in and around that area. So it makes sense that Godric's Hollow, as a village with a large magical populatin would be in that area.

 

So there is some logic to it. Cool. I was thinking that one of the more well read fics had made that up and people jumped on the bandwagon.

 

FUCK YEAH WOLLONGONG

 

Always thought that Harry was Welsh or Cornish-descended, either from Lily or James. (shrugs)

Then again, the 'canon' in HBP and DH did more harm than good.

Ron and Parseltongue, anyone?

 

I need some help from those who are more knowledgable about the DC Universe.

I'm currently writing some omakes (yes, permission was granted ) for Power of Oa, and one of them involves the testing of a brand new version of the Javelin space/aircraft.

Now, in the DC U and DC AU, I'm aware that there have been several models, with each being more technologically superior than the last. (E.g. Javelin mark I from pre-Thanagarian invasion, Javelin mark II from post-Thanagarian invasion, etc).

The only ones I have been able to find are from the DC:AU, so unless anyone knows of any information/shots from the 'greater' DC U, like the comics/books/games, I'll reference them as the base of the new version.

Which one of these is the Mark I and Mark II? The article I sourced from was not clear on the matter.

My current plan is to take the latest version of the Javelin design (actually, in the time-frame of Power of Oa, a third version came out, so I'd really be basing my Mark IV on that, but since there's no information on the Mark III in PoA, I've got free reign, creativity-wise) and the design features of many 'new' 21st century aircraft, such as holographic controls/heads-up-display (as seen on the development concept of China's new fighter) and integrate them into my Mark IV.

Also, if anyone knows of any notable features (such as the retractable landing 'claws'), weapons, abilities, or information about the Javelins seen in comics or any other DC U material, could you let me know, please? I really don't want to make a major goof-up with it.

 

Other fandoms is in this direction.

 

Power of Oa is a crossover story with HP, no?

Mk-I is the top image, and Mk-II the bottom one.

 

When exactly did Peter Pettigrew join Voldemort? Right after finishing school? During the last years of school? Just before Lily and James died? Weeks before their death? Months?

 

IIRC, he'd been passing information to Voldemort for 'over a year before Lily and James died'.

 

Thank you! That's what I needed to know.

 

So That'd be about a year or two after they left school. Makes sense, after the enforced company of school, the comparative distance of adult life probably left Pettigrew feeling alone and insecure. In my mind Pettigrew wasn't ever the stereotype the movies portrayed him to be so much as a tragic figure. I dont know why but I never hated him like the films told me I should.

 

I've been wondering why exactly did Percy denounce his family once he got into the Ministry, would you say it was to further his personal ambition or was he doing what he thought would be right for the weasley family in the long run, trying to get them some political clout and by extension turn the Weasley family into an influential family?

 

I think it was just resentment of the Weasleys' position in society, to be honest. That would have led to his personal ambition in that he was trying to distance himself from his family's reputation. So yeah, I reckon it was mainly for his own benefit.

 

Yeah agree with his resentment of the family societal position but for some reason I think that his distancing himself was for the sake of the family's name in the future.

Him just suddenly going all personal ambition overriding family just doesn't add up, considering how close knit the family is and how from what we know the kids had been raised to treasure family.

 

Except that Percy seemed to be the odd one out in the family. Bill and Charlie were doing their own things with dragons, and cursed tombs and shit; off living their own lives. Fred and George were each others best friend. Ron became friends with the Boy-Who-Lived (who, I might add, was treated better than Percy was by his brothers), and Ginny was the littlest of the family.

So yeah, my way of thinking about it is that Percy didn't really think of himself as fitting in with the family, and after his warnings about Harry were ignored in OotP, he felt that the others had chosen Harry over him. Of course this is all wrapped up in his personal ambition, but I think his resentment over being the odd one out contributed a lot too.

 

Huh I didn't think about it like that, it actually makes sense, there was no one in the family he could bond with and on top of that a stranger comes along and he is more to his family than he ever thinks he was.

Heh, poor guy

 

I'm having a discussion with an author about the use of Polyjuice Potion. The question? Can you use Polyjuice to replicate a living image of someone that is dead?

I argue no, saying that because congenital birth defects and injuries sustained by the sample-provider are transferred to the drinker, a state of death would logically also be transferred, killing the drinker instantly.

He argues that if the sample was taken before the sample-provider's death, the potion would still work.

We can both be right I suppose, but what do you peeps think?

 

I'm saying that it won't work after death. Because otherwise Barty Crouch Jr would have just killed Moody, rather than going to the trouble of keeping him alive.
