Mahoutokoro


Mahoutokoro pronounced Mah - hoot - o - koh - ro, is a magical Japanese school made of jade located on an uninhabited island named Minami Iwo Jima.

Students start from the age of seven, and are transported every day back and forth in a flock of big storm petrels. Only students at the age of eleven or older can stay in Mahoutokoro as a boarding school.

Every student has a magical robe. The robe changes seize while you grow, and changes color depending on your magical knowledge. Every robe starts with a light pink color, and if you are an exceptional student it might even turn gold! However, if you turn to the Dark Arts or break the International Statue of Secrecy your robes will become white. This is the greatest shame. This will also get you expulse, and a trail with the Japanese Ministry of Magic.

Mahoutokoro also has a reputation for an incredible academical level, and an impressive Quidditch team! After learning it from some Hogwarts students, who were flying in the night sky while the Mahoutokoro students were stargazing. They quickly learned it well, and practiced it. And now they are a really good Quidditch team! They even have an official team which are current league winners named Toyohashi Tengu! They practice it, under some rough conditions. Above a dangerous sea, and keeping watch over bludgers, and Muggle airplanes.

The best HP ship

In this article, I will tell you about which Hp ship I prefer.

As for the saga, I prefer Harry and Ginny, because I find that they go well together, that they listen to each other. Ginny had been in love with Harry since the first two films. She knew Harry didn't love her, so she dated another boy, but deep down she still loved Harry.

For fanfiction, I prefer Drinny, which means Draco and Ginny. I know Drinny is not very popular, but I really like this fanfiction with Draco revealing his feelings to Ginny and Ginny who is afraid that other people will find out that she is dating Draco.

J.K. Rowling’s thoughts on familiars


First of all, what is a familiar?

The concept of ‘familiars’ has been around in British folklore for many hundreds of years. Familiars are animals (some say animal-shaped spirits) that serve a witch in various ways, whether as servants, messengers, or even spies. Historical accounts of witchcraft mention familiars. Such animals have been credited with supernatural gifts, and even believed to be demons (or the devil himself) in disguise.

Now, here is more into J.K. Rowling’s thoughts on familiars:

However, Rowling says that familiars, in the strictest sense, do not exist within the world of Harry Potter. Although Hogwarts students are allowed to bring animals to school with them, the cats and rats we see there are, generally speaking, just pets. Ironically, the animal that acts most like a traditional familiar in the entire series is Mrs. Norris, who belongs to the castle’s only non-magical inhabitant, Argus Filch. It’s true that owls are sent as messengers within the series, but this is in the context of a highly organized postal service, not unlike Muggle pigeon post.

So, even though familiars do not exist in the world of Harry Potter (they aren’t mentioned at all!), we see some things in Harry Potter that are similar to them.

Fun Fact

Two very important props that are used in the movies are Harry Potter’s glasses and his wand. Well it turns out that during the making of the 8 Harry Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe went through about 260 pairs of glasses and about 60 wands! That would fill a whole big room up!
