Felix Felicis (Luck Potion) - "Felix" is Latin for "lucky, fortunate, অথবা happy." "Felicis" is derived from two Latin adjectives, one for "lucky" and one for "of the lucky."

Horcrux - "Horcrux" when broken down in many languages means "outside the cross."

"Crucis" means "pain অথবা torture," and "hor" is a shortened form of the noun "horreum," which means "storehouse." Thus, "tormenting storehouse." A Horcrux is effectively a "storehouse" for the part of the soul that an individual destroys when killing someone. "Hor" can also remind readers of the words "horrible" and "horrid." The English meaning for "crux" is "the critical feature অথবা essence," like the crux of an argument. Similar to the Latin translation, it then becomes understood as "essence storehouse." Many consider the soul to be the essence of an individual. A "crux" is also defined as a "difficult puzzle," so Horcruxes can then be seen as "horrible" অথবা "tormenting puzzles." In Egyptian mythology, Horus was the son of the god Osiris, who became the God of the Dead. Crux is also Latin for "cross." If আপনি combine these two words, আপনি get the "cross of Horus," also known as the "ankh" (a ক্রুশ with a loop at the top). The ankh was the symbol of life. Thus, a Horcrux would ensure life.

There are many, many reasons to প্রণয় Hermione Granger. She is a wonderfully written character and a great role model. However, lately I've been seeing a lot of people say things to the extent of "i প্রণয় hermione because she's sooooo pretty!!!!! she's the most beautiful girl in hogwarts and i প্রণয় her!!!!!" It seems harmless, and it probably is. But I have a problem with it.

People tend to obsess over her appearances, when Hermione herself would probably scoff at such things. Hermione was never one to care all that much about physical appearances; she was far আরো concerned over আরো important...

Bellatrix Lestrange
I have been on the Harry Potter spot for a while now and I constantly find myself getting asked "why do আপনি like Bellatrix?" So I decided to type up this article. Thank আপনি lifeisgoodx3 for inspiring me to do so.

So why would some one like a person who killed Sirius, Dobby, Tonks, and tortured Hermione and the Longbottms?

So after পাঠ করা Cursed Child I was beyond excited for this character and I thought I'd share why. That ব্যক্ত there are probably gonna be spoilers in here.

First and foremost, right off the bat I figured I'd like her because Bellatrix is her mom. To be honest out of all of my পছন্দ characters I figured that Bella would be the least likely to have a baby but here she is lol. So she gets points just for being Bellatrix's daughter. xP Carry on her legacy well Delphi. :'D

Secondly I প্রণয় her name. My friend and I, in the last 24 hours have made so many jokes about Bellatrix going 'derp, this is...
