So Harry Potter lived under the stairs of some relatives of his. Alright?
That's how this *** starts, from what I can tell--they were not nice to him
Maybe parents died tragically? That sounds like maybe? or along-whatever
He gets an invitation at some point to go to Hogwarts, that wizard school there
I know there's a train platform with a fraction in it. Trouble seems to follow him, from what I can tell.
"Just the time that you happen to be here happens to be when this great evil is here and, what's that? You're the one who can save it? OK."
He does something and gets a lightning bolt scar on his head.
He, I dunno, I guess maybe like did a spell and it was like too much--too much for him?
It must have been an electrically-derived spell, cause there's lightning. Right? Gotta be right.
A friend specifically mentioned that there is a room in this magical wizard school
Whatever you need when you pass by it or find it is what's in the room.
He remembered bedchambers and passed it on to me but I didn't...
Yeah, they play Quidditch-or Kidditch, as I would guess to pronounce it based on how I've seen it
People in our school play it and our friend plays the Golden Snitch--more of an object than a person
but, for the purpose of playing the game in real life, has to be a person and I know that he runs across campus
Which is a really silly name--Snitch
I remember hearing something about a basilisk.
I feel like that's an, an enemy that's already been bested so I don't think I'm gonna see it again.
Yeah, he's got friends, I know one of them's a ginger. Everyone's more or less human, from what I can tell.
There's some boys and girls, I'm sure there's romantic interests--there has to be cause they're adolescents.
I've heard the name Malfoy tossed around and it's got "mal" in it so it's gotta be a bad guy.
Although Captain Mal is not bad. Hold on, no, there's another bad guy name that I know I've heard
and I've seen pictures of the guy and he doesn't have a nose and there's no way he's good--no, it'll come to me.
I saw a couple of those, the Harry Potter Puppet Pal things, though, and they all say names.
Harry Potter, Snape-Severous Snape. Dumbledore, Ron Weasley--that sounds familiar
Hermione, I remember that cause I had a computer programming teacher who always used that for the names in his variables
It was real weird. "what is it with this guy and this name Hermione-the ***? that's not even a name. no one has that name!"
I guess Snape has to be somewhat evil because I've heard people screaming "Snape kills Dumbledore" as spoilers to people.
And I remember people being super upset so I assume Dumbledore was good.
It's just a very friendly-sounding name, kind of a dumbly, fat and happy name.
I know there's another evil name there!
The way my old school had different colleges, based on sort of what sort of person they thought you were.
They organized you and different colleges lived together. I think there's something like that in the Harry Potter universe
Gryffindor sounds familiar.
Oh, yeah, they're wizards so they have wands-no monocles from what I can tell, which-pff
-Still can't remember the bad guy's name? No, I've thought about it too much so now it's just on the tip of my brain
It will not come out. I'll think about it at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning.
I'll even leave a spot. Oh yeah, I just remembered the guy's name, it's _____
-Move your mouth, so you can...
It's gotta take place kind of in the past cause no one's shootin the bad guys
I dunno, there's trains, though, so it can't be too far in the past
I know there's a weird little hobbly creature. -What was your adjective?
Hobbly? A hobbly little creature that I've seen hobbling around.
I feel like I've seen a short video clip of someone holding him up dead
-What's his name? Do you know?
Uhhhh, ya know what? I feel like it sounds like hobbly
Oh, the plot?! Is that what you guys wanted?
There's gotta be some kind of evil wizard. Maybe a haunted house involved there somewhere.
I dunno maybe it's the same evil wizard throughout all the books, the whole story
or maybe new ones come up each time, James Bond style.
I'm sure that Harry Potter and his friends are all developing as wizards and using their powers for good,
and occasionally making mistakes and learning life lessons.
and maybe they kill off a couple of the side characters from time to time.
I mean, they'd better be good wizards cause otherwise, ya know, they don't know how to balance a checkbook or anything
Like, I wonder how many of the things they're doing, they think are magic but it's actually just science that they don't understand.
"I put this seed in this dirt and then I waved the wand over it and a couple weeks later there was a tree!"
I'm sure they must learn, like, "these are the dark arts, never practice them"
and then some kids are like "ohhh, we're doin the *** out of this. we're doin this every day!"
I remember them sounding like fake Latin. Expeliarmis? Somethin?
Luna... Somethin? Lovegood? Is that it?
I'm good with names, except for that one evil guy. He's not important, though, right? He's a pretty minor character?
They fly around on brooms, I guess. Wizard-style--isn't that what witches do? That's cheating.
Draco? That's an evil--his whole name is evil-sounding. -Do you know if it's Draco Malfoy or Malfoy Draco?
I'm gonna guess Draco Malfoy. Draco, it's a very draconian name.
-Really? Yeah.
I've tried to watch people play it once. I feel like there were three hoops that they were trying to throw *** through?
I feel like they were throwing kickballs.
He's got glasses and probably wears a robe. Do they wear the hats? The pointed Sorcerer's Apprentice ***?
I know there's a big dude with a big beard
That guy who was in Love Actually is in it somewhere. He played the voice of God in Dogma.
-He played the tentacly? Not the rockstar in Love Actually, the guy who cheats on his wife,
or is about to cheat on his wife--spoilers. Yes, Alan Rickman.
I just want to talk to hi-I don't want to talk to him, I just want him to talk at me.
I'm sure they must have other nutty teachers, potentially evil, teaching them the dark arts
"Don't use this but I-pff-totally do."
I dunno, I'm sure there's mistaken identities and disappearing people and potions.
Animals! There's gotta be owls in there. Wizards love owls.
Dobby! Is Dobby the name of that hobbly little thing? That's kind of like an animal.
Um ... No?
Is it like a deformed human and I just crossed a major line? I'm sorry.
um ... that got, that got tense.
Probably some salamanders in there.
With a name like Gryffindor, if a Gryffin doesn't show up eventually, that's gonna be a pretty huge disappointment for everyone involved.
Is there a House Unicorn? A Sorcerer's Stone. A quest where they have to go and get a sorcerer's stone
and I'm sure it solves some problem and starts a new one.
Chamber of Secrets? A room with things that people generally don't know.
Prisoner of Azkaban. I remember that one cause I remember thinking it's a very kind of Middle Eastern-sounding thing
and I was like "this, is this book ... political?"
So either this person has to be killed or rescued I'm sure. Or maybe both!
Did one of the titles have Phoenix in it? That's all I got.
How many books are there? -Seven
Jeez. Harry Potter and the ... huuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
I know the author was homeless when she wrote them. JK Rowling.
Does one of them have "death" in it? Oh yeah, Death, Deathly Hallows? Now I won't walk into the wrong movie on accident. Again!
Wizards, I dunno. Do they work in unions or guilds? Are they solving the world's problems? Are they like NASA scientists?
I dunno whether these wizard people live in like the real world and just no one knows there's wizards
or maybe they do know there're wizards and it's just an alternate universe where it's like "yeah wizards."
Hufflepuff, that's a thing! Is it one of the houses? Awww, yeah.
Muggles. Muggles are people who aren't wizards. Slang term for Muggles?
That sounds like a pretty slangy term already. "Wandless Wonders?"
Don't worry, I'll be homeless soon and then I'll write the crap out of a wizard book. Each one of the books is gonna be II
"Harry Potter and whatever the first one's called II." "Harry Potter and whatever the second one's called II."
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II II!"
Are they all British pretty much? British people like Initial Initial Last Name. JK Rowling, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis. Clive Staples, great name.
I'm sure there's lots of houses in there but they're covered very briefly in the beginning then they only get into detail about four or five
cause that's how I'd write a book, cause I'm lazy.
Hufflepuff sounds silly, I know that. So I feel like they're goofy people. Gryffindor sounds pretty epic.
Like the Ender's Game where they all have the different armies. You know who the leaders are,
each army kind of has a few characteristics but mainly it's Dragon Army and all the other armies.
-So you remember the bad guy's name? I dunno, snake noises are coming to mind but I got nothin
Does this place have electricity or do they use candles?
Let's see, Harry Potter is played by that guy who ended up being in that play where he got naked.
Daniel Radcliffe. I got naked before his name.
Hermione is Emma Somethin. But really, is there anything other than Alan Rickman? HET.
I dunno whether they eat normal food?
I do know that people wear the *** out of Harry Potter scarves.
So I dunno if scarves are a big thing in this movie or if that's just a marketing thing that just got out of hand.
Is it Watson, her last name? Emma Watson? Alright.
Is Slytherin a thing? Is that another one of the houses? That's gotta be a bad one--that's, come on, it's got "slither" in it.
See that's, I knew there was something about snake noises. If that one's not evil, I'll make a hat out of something edible and I will eat my hat.
Goblet of Fire. Maybe it's like Indiana Jones where the goblet itself is important or maybe it's what's in the goblet.
I wouldn't guess that it's a goblet made of fire, perhaps a goblet that's in fire or has fire in it, uhhh, flaming shot-style.
-Flaming shot style?
A quest item that they've gotta go and find and maybe drinking from it gives them superpowers, wizard-style.
Voldemort.
