Superbone Wingardium leviosa is a hover/flying spell from Harry Potter. If I remember correctly, it was the first actual magic the main characters got to practice after starting with all sorts of theory in the applicable class. 

From the character development angle, Hermione got it to work first and made Ron feel bad about not getting his to work right away, despite him growing up in a magical family in contrast to her muggle heritage. Of course, this just played into the drama of the 11 year olds.  

I wonder if rereading the series again will make me feel younger, or if it will just seem rather immature...

The Artist Formerly Known As I've read the series 7 times forwards and twice backwards.  As I got older, the drama and interaction between the characters got a bit annoying, but I chalked that up to the characters being children/teens while I was realizing there are better (more mature) ways to interact with other people.  Maybe since I've gone past that stage of my life, it won't be as annoying. I've heard it said that one's faults, as seen in others, rankle the most. The rationale being that you're trying to purge them from yourself and don't like being so obviously reminded that they're affecting you by seeing them in others. We'll see how much I've grown up. I'm pretty sure I don't feel like throwing angst tantrums now. 😋 

However, the fantastical setting and the struggle between good and evil is... timeless. I do think it was played out well in the series.

I am personally hoping for a LOTR reference in the loading screen. Bonus points if it's from the Silmarilion. 

I like a lot of the phrases used, but of course I'm not familiar with some. I think the premise is great, though!

(And I can't remember some of my favorite ones from the past years, sorry!)

Ah, thanks! I think I started reading the first book to my kids many years ago but that's as far as I got. I've seen all the movies though. Once. 🙂

Move Light Sound Life there is a Harry Potter website where each chapter of the first book is read by different actors (mainly stage but some film including first chapter read by Daniel Radcliffe). I enjoyed it very much. Plus if you have kids there are lots of learning activities too. I think the site is www.wizardingworld.com.

MXMOM My 'kids' are long out of the house, making a living, and living with their girlfriends. 😆

Superbone I have one gone that way ( although he was back and forth this year between in class apprenticeship classes and covid19 kicked out from girlfriends parents basement). I needed Harry Potter to escape!

Superbone PS good job!

MXMOM Ha ha! I loved the series too. And thanks, same to you! 😄

Turquoise Major Please remind me of where in Star Wars this comes from. Is it in the trench battle in the original?
