For in important ways that make the Potter books different from the chronicles Prydain or Narnia, Hogwarts feels like it could be happening adjacent to this life; who among us waited for The Letter when we turned eleven? When she invited us to sort ourselves, and when the internet followed suit with its many bastard quiz replicas—well, this meant something.
It was almost like my favorite fiction believed in me right back. I remember where I was when I first took The Quiz: on a family vacation, idling around a porch full of my relatives.
People were guessing their houses and, in the process, confirming hunches about their magical alter-egos back to themselves. Math-minded sister Jamie was a Ravenclaw. Bold brother Ben was a Gryff. I would have even been okay with Hufflepuff, I think now.
My friends had always joked that those goofs would have had the best parties, and the Puffs seemed to spend the least amount of time in their formative years fighting to the death with racists. Still, a part of me must have feared the worst. In an echo of the alchemy that only N. Flammel understood so well, a strange thing began to happen as I answered those questions. What of that formative magic had lingered in me?
I was, then as now: dreamy, prone to wordiness, and loyal only to a small set of other malcontents. It was easier then to make a self out of such borders. And maybe the reason so many of us are attracted to The Quiz or the Hat, initially is because it reminds us of those days when a short list of characteristics could nestle you into a group, that safe, familiar nook where you were seen and known.
The house of those cunning, ambitious, and have a thirst to prove themselves. Try to make this OC as the description on why they went there and sort them in the right house!
I would just avoid making a pureblood altogether. I agree with these points. Being related to a canon character like Voldemort or Harry is a really bad idea.
Well it would make more sense just to have them coming from the UK. There seem to be other wizarding schools in the other European countries. My god. Harry is not a Gary Stu. I lost the password to this blog and the password to the email associated with it. So I abandoned the blog without a word, Until one of the old mods, Gabe, finally motivated me to recover the passwords and regain access to the blog.
It only took 6 years. But Gabe and Cherry are super excited to get back into it after all this time! I want to change up the main way it operates. I want to move away from OC critiques and more towards OC advice. Less clowning on people and more trying to help people. Titles are very important to stories. They can make a story stand out, set the tone, and catch the interest of any reader who is skimming titles. Think about some good movie or book titles.
Again, go big or go home. In America they practice a similar game called Quodpot. This is likely a playful jab at the whole football and American football thing. Every single wand is unique and will depend for its character on the particular tree and magical creature from which it derives its materials.
Moreover, each wand, from the moment it finds its ideal owner, will begin to learn from and teach its human partner. Therefore, the following must be seen as general notes on each of the wood types I like to work with best, and ought not to be taken to describe any individual wand. Only a minority of trees can produce wand quality wood just as a minority of humans can produce magic.
It takes years of experience to tell which ones have the gift, although the job is made easier if Bowtruckles are found nesting in the leaves, as they never inhabit mundane trees.
The following notes on various wand woods should be regarded very much as a starting point, for this is the study of a lifetime, and I continue to learn with every wand I make and match.
Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair, I conceived the ambition to discover the finest cores and to work only with those when my time came to take over the family business. This I have done. After much experimentation and research, I concluded that only three substances produce wands of the quality to which I am happy to give the illustrious name of Ollivander: unicorn hair, dragon heartstring and phoenix feather.
Each of these costly and rare materials has its own distinct properties. The following represents a short summary of my researches into each of the three Supreme Cores. Readers should bear in mind that each wand is the composite of its wood, its core and the experience and nature of its owner; that tendencies of each may counterbalance or outweigh the other; so this can only be a very general overview of an immensely complex subject. Many wandmakers simply match the wand length to the size of the witch or wizard who will use it, but this is a crude measure, and fails to take into account many other, important considerations.
In my experience, longer wands might suit taller wizards, but they tend to be drawn to bigger personalities, and those of a more spacious and dramatic style of magic. Neater wands favour more elegant and refined spell-casting.
Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. While I have sold extremely short wands eight inches and under and very long wands over fifteen inches , these are exceptionally rare.
In the latter case, a physical peculiarity demanded the excessive wand length. However, abnormally short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than because they are physically undersized many small witches and wizards are chosen by longer wands.
There are other more exotic woods and cores like Leprechaun hair, but Mr. Ollivander does not work with them. So it seems Hogwarts allows animals that are small, domestic, non-dangerous, and easy to care for. This may include Pigmy Puffs, rodents hamsters, mice, etc , small snakes, fish, Puffskein, hermit crabs, rabbits, hedgehogs, etc.
All those last names XD. Year in Hogwarts: She's ten right now but was so smart they let her skip until seventh year. Then, they realized that she was still too smart for that so they just let her be Headmaster.
Dumbledore resigned the utter minute he saw her. Hogwarts House: The Sorting Hat was shocked by her greatness and couldn't make up it's mind. Since she has all of the house's best qualities, and none of the bad ones, they just let her have a bed in every dorm.
Appearance: She can change her hair and eye color to whatever she wants. However, she usually goes with the most beautiful blue orbs and dark brown locks that she puts in a messy bun. Don't know her. She is literally the most beautiful person you could ever imagine. No seriously. They have to put a spell on her to make her slightly more ugly so that people can look at her without their eyes melting. She's still absolutely drop-dead gorgeous though. Personality: She super nice to everyone, not matter their blood-status.
She's the most popular person at Hogwarts now, but she hates the attention, since she doesn't want to make anyone jealous. Clothes: Everything looks amazing on her, but she doesn't care about material things like clothes.
Best Subject: All of them. I mean she has to be since she teaches all of the classes. Oh I didn't mention that earlier? Well, she teaches every class at Hogwarts. She doesn't even need a Time turner. She just kindly asks time to move back so she can teach the classes. Well wouldn't the kids she taught previously not remember since the timeline changed? No, actually. See, she just asks the timeline not to get messed up and it listens to her.
Special skills: Metamorphmagus, Seer, has Occlumency, Legilimens, has infinite Animagi forms, can talk to animals, can change time, doesn't actually need a broom, Parseltongue.
Pets: She has many pets. Hogwarts actually changed their rules just for her!
