CALLUM TURNER as THESEUS SCAMANDER in FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE 2022 | dir. David Yates
Two identical infants lay in the cradle. “One you bore, the other is a Changeling. Choose wisely,” the Fae’s voice echoed from the shadows. “I’m taking both my children,” the mother said defiantly.
Once upon a time there was a peasant woman who was unhappy because she had no children. She was happy in all other things – her husband was kind and loving, and they owned their farm and had food and money enough. But she longed for children.
She went to church and prayed for a child every Sunday, but no child came. She went to every midwife and wise woman for miles around, and followed all their advice, but no child came.
So at last, though she knew of the dangers, she drew her brown woolen shawl over her head and on Midsummer’s Eve she went out to the forest, to a certain clearing, and dropped a copper penny and a lock of her hair into the old well there, and she wished for a child.
“You know,” a voice said behind her, a low and cunning voice, a voice that had a coax and a wheedle and a sly laugh all mixed up in it together, “that there will be a price to pay later.”
She did not turn to look at the creature. She knew better. “I know it,” she said, still staring into the well. “And I also know that I may set conditions.”
“That is true,” the creature said, after a moment, and there was less laugh in its voice now. It wasn’t pleased that she knew that. “What condition do you set? A boy child? A lucky one?”
“That the child will come to no harm,” she said, lifting her head to stare into the woods. “Whether I succeed in paying your price, or passing your test, or not, the child will not suffer. It will not die, or be hurt, or cursed with ill luck or any other thing. No harm of any kind.”
“Ahhhhh.” The sound was long and low, between a sigh and a hum. “Yes. That is a fair condition. Whatever price there is, whatever test there is, it will be for you and you alone.” A long, slender hand extended into her sight, almost human save for the skin, as pale a green as a new leaf. The hand held a pear, ripe and sweet, though the pears were nowhere ripe yet. “Eat this,” the voice said, and she trembled with the effort of keeping her eyes straight ahead. “All of it, on your way home. Before you enter your own gate, plant the core of it beside the gate, where the ground is soft and rich. You will have what you ask for.”
GANDALF FUCKED UP AND EVIL MOMENT!? WHY DID HE FEEL THE NEED TO SCARE HIM LIKE THAT!?

Announcement!!
Hello, our dear loyal followers,
We are extremely thankful for your extreme love and attention to this blog. But we have decided to make some changes.
First of all, We are no longer doing wand readings. There are more than fifty different wand woods, along with different combinations of cores and houses, and along with other responsibilities, it has become overwhelming.
But, though we are no longer taking wand readings, you CAN ask simple questions, such as…
ex: “I have a laurel wood wand, which according to Pottermore is loyal and cannot perform a dishonorable act, how does this correlate with my house, Ravenclaw?”
Next, we are now currently taking requests for house and character playlists, sortings for movies, tv shows, video games, books and more, aesthetics for yourself and characters. As well as ANY questions or fun ideas you may have.
We also have our Patronus analysis materialists.. you can look for your own here!
Ravenclaw // Gryffindor // Slytherin // Hufflepuff
Again, we REALLY REALLY appreciate all of you, and we should have another announcement coming soon!
Love,
The Mods

"Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?"

concept-playlist-horde
gryffindor; loud conversations, terrible singing, the buzz of a few too many butterbeers, the cold biting your nose in the quidditch stands, too free for your own good, tearful laughter, honor and mischief to spare, saying hello to strangers
hufflepuff; rays of sun through windows, shy blushes, toothy grins, the feeling of grass on bare feet, hugs that last too long, the warm view of black lake from your favorite classroom, the taste of chamomile tea, the grip of your best friend’s hand
ravenclaw; re-reading favorite novels, knowing glances, the night sky from the top of the astronomy tower, the comfort of an old sweater, the crisp pages of a new journal, quiet midnight chats, appreciation for the little things, anxious anticipation
slytherin; the smell of upcoming rain, the comfort of your favorite nook in the hogwarts dungeons, sharp laughter, the smugness of acing a test, telling a secret to your closest friend, mumbled witty remarks, preferring coffee to tea, the glow of candles

the hufflepuff basement
“[…] our overstuffed sofas and chairs are upholstered in yellow and black, and our dormitories are reached through round doors in the walls of the common room. copper lamps cast a warm light over our four-posters, all of which are covered in patchwork quilts, and copper bed warmers hang on the walls, should you have cold feet.”
“You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil.”
