It\u2019s a gift from Ron Weasley\u2019s prank-loving brothers, and it helps Harry see where everyone is in Hogwarts at all times. Mechanically, this helps Harry sneak around whenever he needs to, and he can hide the map\u2019s magical abilities with two simple words: \u201cmischief managed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Weirdly enough, the movies never detail who created the map in the first place. The Marauders in question (identified in the films only as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs) were actually Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and James Potter. Lupin was a werewolf, and the others transformed themselves into animals to keep him company when he was transformed. The adorable names on the map were actually loving references to their animal forms.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Neville Longbottom, Chosen One?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/pyqJKDD5tB9QZaHb1pKmEg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/16ab55a512b164cd8df7709b9399ee5c\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the movies, Neville Longbottom is mostly treated as a walking punchline. While he\u2019s still a very comical figure in the books, those texts eventually revealed a startling secret. It turns out that Neville came insanely close to being the Chosen One who was destined to defeat Voldemort once and for all!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Professor Trelawney\u2019s prophecy about the Chosen One doesn\u2019t specifically name Harry: instead, she foretells that this person of destiny will be born near the end of July to parents who had defied Voldemort three times. Harry fit the bill, but so did Neville, and young Potter ironically only became the Chosen One after Voldemort tried to kill him; this left Harry with his iconic scar, and another aspect of the prophecy is that the boy will be marked as the bad guy\u2019s equal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In this way, Voldemort effectively chose who would ultimately destroy him. But if he had chosen differently, Neville Longbottom might have become the boy who saved the world.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Rita Skeeter\u2019s Big Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/4jh_q801aW1HVt4ytMsHPw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/b3990da61378e7509ef61ab0a1803e5f\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rita Skeeter is an annoying snoop of a journalist, and the Harry Potter movies effectively portray just how weird and annoying she really is. One thing the films left out, though, is exactly how she got the scoop on every dirty little detail around Hogwarts. As it turns out, she could (as her name implies) transform herself into a mosquito because of her powers as an animagus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it would be neat to see this transformation in the TV show, what I\u2019d really like to see is how she gets her comeuppance. In the books, Hermione actually captures Rita in mosquito form, trapping her in an unbreakable jar and promising only to release her if she keeps her awful opinions to herself for one whole year. It\u2019s always fun to see the bad guys get what\u2019s coming to them (ask the legion of Dolores Umbridge haters), but it\u2019s even more fun when it\u2019s Harry\u2019s friends helping to take out the trash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I am only a casual fan of the franchise, I have found myself weirdly excited at the prospect of a Harry Potter TV show.
