My Harry Potter Wish List
A muggle’s musings on the Harry Potter series
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Directed by Mike Newell Shown: Daniel Radcliffe (as Harry Potter) — Photo by: Warner Bros./Photofest

There’s parseltongue: the language of snakes. And Dementors: those dark shrouds that suck the positive out of you killing your soul. I bet some of us know someone like that in real life! And who can forget the howler—that angry letter from a parent that screams at you when you open it? Alyne has these thoughts on how the books and films have expanded our imaginations.
