A Horcrux is an object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality. Horcruxes can only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil.

How does this work with a witch hunt? rofl:

It's just not the same on line



'Mutiny on the Bounty"

"Men at Sea"

"Pitcairn's Island"

They should "highly encourage" young people to read these.

Especially liked Men Against the Sea. I thought Pitcairn's Island was dreadfully tedious though and couldn't finish it.

If you love her and her world and don't know about her feelings on transgender people, you'll just be depressed when you find out.

Pure magic.

and he voiced Bellatrix with a French accent. Aw, hell, no!

Currently I am trying to get hold of the series read by Stephen Fry. I heard about 10 minutes worth of The Philosopher's Stone and it was delightful. I'm seriously considering signing up for Audible because it seems that they have them. Can anyone verify that for me?

I've also made it to the Wizarding World at Universal Orlando (and now I may have to go again, the Hagrid ride looks amazing!) and I went to "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" in New York. - It was how my friend & I celebrated our 65th birthdays.

Harry, Hermoine, and Ron had to go to different places to get the Horcruxes, destroy them and when the last one was destroyed/killed, which was the snake, Voldemort completely died.

I had to look it up too
