Creatures, Jobs and States of Being
es
A
Abraxan (Powerful flying horse, mentioned in Fantastic Beasts) - Abraxus was the name of a flying horse that pulled Helios, the sun god's chariot through the sky in Greco-Roman mythology.
Animagus - Combination of the Latin words "animal" and "magus," meaning "animal wizard."
Auror - Perhaps derived from "aurora," meaning "the dawn." The Aurors may be seen as those who bring the light, vanquishing the darkness.
B
Basilisk - The history and evolution of the myth of the basilisk is detailed in this article. The Greek basiliskos means "little king" or "petty tyrant." Some myths describe the basilisk as a cockatrice, a giant bird with a serpent's tail that could breathe apoy and kill with its stare. Others call it the king of all serpents and consider it as powerful as the gods.
Boggart - From Wikipedia, in Celtic mythology, a boggart (or bogart, bogan, bogle or boggle) is a household spirit, sometimes mischievous, sometimes helpful. In Northern England, at least, there was the belief that the boggart should never be named, for when it was ibingiay a name, it would not be reasoned with or persuaded and would become uncontrollable and destructive.
Buckbeak - To "buck" is the "action of a horse when it leaps upward and arches its back." A "beak" is the "mouth of a bird." Very suiting considering Buckbeak is a Hippogriff.

Hippogriff - Derived from the Greek word "hippos" meaning "horse" and the magical creature known as the griffin. In this case, it has the body of a horse as opposed to a lion, but keeps the head of an eagle.
I
Inferi - In Latin, means "those down below; the dead."
K
Kappa - A water demon that attacks humans. It is described in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. To prevent it from attacking a certain person, one gives it a cucumber engraved with the person's name. This is fitting, considering "kappa" means "water spirit" in Japanese and they feed themselves on blood and cucumbers. Japanese villagers used to write their names on cucumbers and throw them into a river, believing that this would keep the kappas from harming their families.
L
M
Metamorphmagus - In Greek, "meta" means "change," "morph" means "shape," and "magus" means "magic or wizard." Hence, a wizard that can change shape.
Muggle - Comes from English slang. A "mug" is somebody who is easily fooled.
Mugwump - One who sits on both sides of an issue. Referring to the "Supreme Mugwump." Originally an Algonquian word "mugquomp," meaning "chief," it became the word for a political party who wouldn't make up their mind about something in the early to mid 1800s.
N
O
P
Parselmouth - An old word for an individual who has problems with their mouth.
Q
R
S
Squib - Johnson's Dictionary defines as "any petty fellow". The term has fallen out of use. Epithet for somebody who wrote insulting artikulo and pamphlets. A quote from the Vicar of Wakefield sa pamamagitan ng Oliver Smith (1766): "I am too old now to be frightened with squibs." A "squib" is also "a small firework that fizzes out rather than doing anything exciting." "Damp squib" is "an expression for something that turns out to be a disappointment."

V
Veela - Perhaps comes from the "Vilia," a wild woodland sprite mentioned in Franz Lehar's A Merry Widow. The Vilia transfixed the huntsman so that he fell in pag-ibig with her and as a result, he wanted her to pag-ibig him, or he would die. The Veelas seem to make boys and men mesmerized. In Bulgarian myths, "villa" are mythological female creatures (also called samovilla and samodiva) that are very beautiful. They live near rivers and enchant every man with their dancing and singing. Interesting how it was the Bulgarian Quidditch team that brough the Veelas to the Quidditch World Cup.
W
Wizengamot - Perhaps from "Witenagemot," which was "a council of wise elders (called witans) during the Anglo-Saxon period."

In these articles, I'll be taking you back in time, to when the pelikula began. I'll ipakita you how they did it and why.
First up, a quick look at the immaturity of a twelve-year-old boy.
The following is a direct quote.
"We did a lot of pranks. Once Daniel Radcliffe brought in a remote-controlled whoopee cushion. He tried it on me, but it didn't quite work. Then he tried it on someone else who was going to sit down on a massive sofa. When it went off, Chris Columbus said, 'Cut! What is that thing?' and everyone burst into laughter. Dan pulled other pranks too--like making little labels that sinabi 'Kick me' or 'Punch me.' He would stick them on the backs of everyone who came into sight. It was really good."
Emma Watson, 2002
Classic. Who knew that people still fall for the "Kick me" signs? I sure didn't. I'm a bit scared to think of the pranks pulled in the later years.

This is my first story here I hope you like it.
What would happen if just one madami person, just one, was in the popular seires Harry Potter? Would the story change altogether? would some people live that died in the movie? would harry find out things that he found out to late? Would voldemort be weaker, stronger, or his streangth would be the same? Well I'm here to tell you sa pamamagitan ng giving draco a sister named amila. sa pamamagitan ng doing this I hope to continue the story of harry potter a little bit longer because as J.K. Rowling sinabi no story lives unless somone wants to here it. But hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home. I hope you enjoy and plz comment on this idea.

I just discovered that there is an iPhone application for Harry Potter style moving portraits. You can find it here: link
Now I just have to ligtas some money to go to Florida.
On their web site (link) they have an example how to embed it into any web page. I was surprised how simple it is. The app can actually upload it to YouTube for you.
I pag-ibig the app it is really easy to use!
