Finally, the Democrats Have Found Trump’s Achilles’ Heel: Ridicule Him by [[Michael Tomasky]]

confirming my thesis that Donald J. Trump is a Boggart and can be banished using some of the same techniques as taught in Harry Potter

"Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?" Dumbledore asked calmly. Reference: book.

And, the transition to the scene 😂

03:30 theory: Voldemort tatooing Taboo Curse on death eaters

01:00 saying Voldemort his name as worry in First Wizarding War: he, and death eaters, might hunt you?

Also, he “Taboo Curse” placed upon himself (see above). Members of the Order of the Phoenix say his name, so people can find him.

In last movie, Harry said Voldemort, and they were caught by snatchers. (and other examples)

10:00 hero’s journey as non-deterministic, growing possibility of horizons for individuals

seeing day as potential horizons, facing the dragons of the day

Bought a yard of this yesterday to reupholster two Steelcase chairs. It's just enough to cover them both.

I quite like the idea of analogizing a zettelkasten with a pensieve in the mode of Harry Potter.

Ideas fill their spaces.

When writing it can be daunting to see a long blank screen and feel like you've got to fill it up with ideas de novo.

From the other perspective if you're starting with a smaller space like a Twitter input box or index card you may find that you write too much and require the ability to edit things down to fit the sparse space.

I do quite like the small space provided by Hypothes.is which has the ability to expand and scroll as you write so that it has the Goldilocks feel of not too small, not too big, but "just right".

Micro.blog has a feature that starts with a box that can grow with the content. Once going past 280 characters it also adds an optional input box to give the post a title if one wants it to be an article rather than a simple note.

Link to idea of Occamy from the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that can grow or shrink to fit the available space: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Occamy

Description of the mandrake from Herball, Generall Historie of Plants by John Gerard, 1597

God curses the serpent after deceiving Eve in the garden, and creates "enmity between [the serpent] and the woman." In the "Harry Potter" series by JK Rowling, the serpent is a symbol of evil, and near the end of the books, is the only piece of evil left to destroy before good can truly be restored.

A well known popular culture version of this appears in the title of the book and film Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince as well as a primary plot point in which Potter actively eschews a beaten up copy of a potions textbook, but to his pleasant surprise find a heavily annotated text that helps him significantly in his studies.

I thought The Verge would be critical. I've paraphrased some paragraphs from Shoshana Zuboff about the matter in this blog post.

A case in point is the spin-off series "Fear the Walking Dead" which looks at the "Walking Dead" universe form a different perspective and has recently had a character crossover (Morgan)- see here for more details: http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Morgan_Jones_(Fear_The_Walking_Dead)

The "Walking Dead" franchise began with graphic novels. "Harry Potter" much surely mark one of the most successful transmedia franchises, books, films, computer games, lego characters, costumes, and extended fanclubs (UCC Harry Potter Society uses a sorting hat, and the quasi-gothic architecture of UCC as a backdrop).

Already, at just the start of this narration, blood-lines and "purity" are being highlighted as an important detail. The HP stories are fascinated with genealogies, which is so ironic since we never hear about Harry's grandparents.

Could JK Rowling sue for royalties?

"Imperio!" anyone? Regards from the-one-who-should-not-be-named, otherwise known as "Tom Riddle" or "Voldie"...

Okay, ha ha, to the journalist that put this line in!
