  • An Ode To Luna Lovegood

    Poem dedicated to Luna Lovegood, one of my favourite characters in the Potterverse.

    This post concludes my blog on Severus Snape. To refresh yourselves, read the first 3 parts: https://ashwinkumar19892021.wordpress.com/2017/06/28/the-enigma-of-the-half-blood-prince-part-1/, https://ashwinkumar19892021.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/the-enigma-of-the-half-blood-prince-part-2/ and https://ashwinkumar19892021.wordpress.com/2017/07/02/the-enigma-of-the-half-blood-prince-part-3/.

  • The enigma of the Half-Blood Prince: Part 3

    This is the third part of my monologue on Severus Snape, continuing from https://ashwinkumar19892021.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/the-enigma-of-the-half-blood-prince-part-2/, and starting from https://ashwinkumar19892021.wordpress.com/2017/06/28/the-enigma-of-the-half-blood-prince-part-1/.

He was very openly biased towards his own house (Slytherin) and generally gave the Gryffindors a…

So, Snape was a thoroughly complicated character; in my opinion the best character in the series – not according to the moral compass, but in the way he was structured and built up right till the grand surprise…

  • The enigma of the Half-Blood Prince: Part 1

    Firstly, let us take a moment to celebrate 20 years since the first copy of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was released in the UK. To call it just a “series of fantasy books” would be a collossal understatement. Joanne Rowling took us to a new world; full of love and hatred, good and…
