8-bit Harry Potter


Though it's not technically a game, the creators sure went out of their way to make it feel like one, right down to the amazing retro music. You can watch Harry Potter in his summer school adventures and pick his path in this choose your own adventure video. Best part is you don't have to blow any cartridges to enjoy. Though if you have a Wiimote handy you can still work on your blowing skills.

Hogwarts Hotline

It's late at night...You're home alone, sitting there, polishing your broomstick, and you're looking for a good time. Thinking about some cute little witch and her chamber of secrets. You've got a major case of petrificus totalus and these muggles just aren't getting your wands at the ready. You're feeling like a filthy little mudblood and want to whisper sweet nothings in parseltongue in someone's ear, who do you call? Why the Hogwarts Hotline of course you dirty little whorecrux!

Pick up your phone and dial: 267-436-5109


Unfortunately it isn't a Harry Potter sexline, but it does have some fun little information about Hogwarts. And you can always use it as a decoy number to give out to ugly squibs.

Maru is infamous for being a fat asian cat with an insatiable curiosity and ability to look consistently cute. Watch his escapades as he tries to fit into boxes that get decreasingly smaller, while he remains delightfully plump. Silly kitteh, you cannot haz fit!

Speilberg almost ruined Harry Potter

Two words: Animated Movie.


Thank god we dodged that bludger. Speilberg is a great man no doubt, but his recent movies certainly haven't packed quite as much of bite as his older swansongs like Jurassic Park or JAWS. It's a huge relief to hear that this never panned out, because his take on the franchise was to combine a couple of the books and make it animated. Silly muggle...

I can just imagine the crammed incoherent CGI mess it would have been, mostly liked voiced by Shia Lebeouf. He instead passed on the project in favor of making the mess Artificial Intelligence.
