Being racist and slaughtering other people or fighting for peace. What are you sympatetic to?

 

I adhere more to the Pureblood faction. They have charm, depth and tradition, the side of Dumbledore cannot provide.

 

What tradition? Before the Wizarding world went into hiding they lived pretty much like Muggles, at least that's what I think.
Purge yourself of bad fan-fiction, my son.

 

Except the part where they had things like gender equality, free education, and proper hygiene. Also that they've had those things for at least a thousand years. Sure, exactly the same as muggles in the sixteen hundreds and before.

 

If I was a pureblood, I'd support Voldemort. If I was a muggleborn, I'd support Dumbledore.

Since they're both fictional, I don't support either though I like Voldemort better.

 

Purebloods, as far as I can recall, had no distinctly differing traditions from Muggles. The Malfoys lived like wealthy Muggle aristocrats and the Weasleys lived like a normal, broke Muggle family.
Apparently, thousands of years of free education, gender equality and proper hygiene didn't really change anything.

 

Having those things in the first place means they're culturally different than muggles and lived differently to them. Nobody descended from on high and made them live a certain way.

In terms of the idea I was responding to and quoted "Before the Wizarding world went into hiding they lived pretty much like Muggles", you are factually wrong.

 

Fixed that for you. Now asking a question, do we have any ideia of any other magical beings, except those who appear in the books? i.e. Vampires, Leprechauns, Goblins, Veela, Centaur and Mermaids. Are there any more in other canons or semi-canons sources?

 

Well, all those in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, obviously, but I'm not sure if you were counting that as "the books".

 

When do you stop editing your work and let it stand as-is? Every time I read a chapter I've written, I want to add something, change something, remove something, reword something, etc.

At some point, I need to be finished with it, read for errors, and then post it. Anyone have a limit for rewriting while editing?

 

Actually, that is helpful, since that seems to be the way I'm going. I was just wondering if I was over analyzing everything.

 

The 7 books and the 3 spin-off. Weel, whe I said beings, I meant those with sentience. They, according to Fantastic Beasts won't be listed there, since they aren't beasts. Well, except Centaurs and Mermaids. But they asked the classification.

Sorry then, just joking.

 

Seamus mentions hags a few times.

 

Dwarves were mentioned in CoS, delivering valentines. They never reappear and are not mentioned elsewhere.

Oh, and don't forget the noble High Elves, hidden immortal kin to the lowly house-elf. And the dragons, who are actually intelligent and fully sapient and also somehow willing to serve as steeds for squishy wizards. And orcs, because if you're going to rip off Tolkien, you might as well go whole hog.

 

Don't forget the Dementors, the Nazgûl’s bastard sons.

 

Agree with Oz about the dwarves. In the elfic department I only remeber those child-eating bavarian ones from Fantastic Beasts. I think I rember hags and the Knockturn Alley, but it might have been in some fic. The dementors is one, are they really sentient? I would classify them like an evil immortal shadow ghoul, eviiil but not fully sentient.

 

Harry saw a Hag in The Leaky Cauldron in PoS, and I think that one of the Lockhart books was about them.
