Fake Half Blood Prince Movie Poster

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley Tight Hug

The Lucky Potion - Felix Felicis

Until the effects wear off, all the drinker's endeavours will tend to succeed. Once consumed, felix felicis gives the drinker an exhilarating sense of confidence and a tremendous sense of opportunity

If taken in excess the potion causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence, and it is highly toxic in large quantities

The potion is a banned substance in organized competitions such as sporting events, examinations etc

Desperately tricky to make and disastrous to get wrong!

Horcruxes

A Horcrux is a Dark Magic device created for the purposes of attaining immortality; although the notion of staving off death by hiding one's soul, or a portion thereof, within an inanimate object is a recurring theme in the legends and fairy tales of several cultures, Rowling is apparently the first to provide such an object with a name. The concept is introduced in the sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

    oh rowling is unputdownable...i ,never in my life, have read novels like harry potter whose every word grip my attention.moreover,wat makes the series fantastic are the charms that they cast..likewise,the romance,tensions and fights portrayed everything's so beautifully written..i wish i could have enough skill...the genuineness and embellishment of elder characters like hagrids,dumbledore,mgonogal etc is also expressed so optimistically that i have fallen in love with the saga...
    cheers potter
