Suggestion Thread

We are going back to the old policy of allowing only staff to create new threads in Legilimency Studies. Threads in the moderation queue intended for this subforum will mysteriously vanish.

If you want to have a thread for a character we have missed, kindly post your suggestion here in this thread.

I can't find Ollivander anywhere, I searched a few times. Am I missing it or is there not one up yet?

~SS

i've noticed that the thread for all the children in the Epilogue have been deleted. perhaps we should make a global one for all six of them.

They weren't deleted, just moved to the Deathly Hallows Discussion main area since we haven't enough information about them to discuss their character developments in Legiliemency.

You might want to check out The Weasley Children (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108881&highlight=weasley) and Questions about Scorpius Malfoy (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108000&highlight=malfoy). :)

would it be possible to have a thread about Rowena Ravenclaw and her daughter perhaps. Not sure if this applies if she is not living but thought we could discuss it in the light of her being the witch of the month.

While we certainly can discuss what we know about her and her impact on Hogwarts in The Deathly Hallows Discussion (http://www.cosforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=131) I'm afraid we have not enough information about her charcter to go into the deep level of analysis we like to have for the Legilimency Studies.

Feel free to open a general thread about in her in the provided main area, though. :)

Could we please have a poll about when everybody started to think that Severus Snape isn't evil/ works for the good side? I'd so love to know!

Maybe with following choices (please allow more than one vote):

I started to think that Snape isn't evil/works for the good side when...

...he appeared for the first time, I did never think he was a bad guy.
...it was revealed in the end of PS that Snape had protected Harry.
...I read the second book,
but when I read PoA, I changed my mind and thought he was a bad guy.
...I read PoA.
...I saw Alan Rickman doing him in the first movie.
...Dumbledore said that Snape has been a spy against Voldemort in GoF.
...Snape shielded the children from the werewolf in the movie version of PoA.
...Sirius suddenly called him "Snivellus" in the kitchen scene in OotP.
...Snape tried so hard to teach Harry Occlumency and delivered that heart-on-the-sleeve speech.
...Snape's worst memory was revealed.
...Dumbledore claimed again that he trusts Snape in the end of OotP.
...Snape guarded Barty Crouch jr. in the movie version of GoF.
but I changed my mind when he killed Dumbledore in HBP.
...I figured out Dumbledore's plan while discussing HBP.
but I changed my mind when Snape cursed George's ear off in DH.
...the doe appeared, I figured out it could only be Snape's patronus.
...Harry looked at Snape's memories after his death.
Never. I still don't believe Snape was really working for the good side.

Hmmm... I'm loathed to take anything portrayed in the movies as a representation of the characters in the book...

I just think it should be a choice in this case, because it's well-known that Rowling informed Rickman about Snape's loyalities. So maybe some found the way he played Snape significant. If the polls gets done you can of course select other choices.

For the moment the number of Snape threads allowed is restricted to what we already have running. :)

I put the poll on another forum. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

I'd still like to see how people here experienced this matter, how long will it take till the poll can be done?

Was an ollivander thread ever developed? are there plans for one?

How about one for all the marauders put together?

Is it possible to start the poll about Snape in the "The Deathly Hallows Discussion"-forum here instead of "Legilimency"-forum or would you lock it if I started it there?

I still don't get the reason. Is this just a question of thread numbers or do you think this poll could make a flame war break out or something? Maybe if the poll is just a bit modified so it sounds more diplomaticly? I think it is an important question. JKR did reveal a lot about Snape in DH and I wonder how many people saw this comming and what did reveal Snape's true character to them earlier. I don't see why there couldn't be a civilisized discussion, the poll is not supposed to be about which fan got it earlier, but about which scenes in the prior books where the biggest hints and giveaways.
If I'm the only nerd interested in this topic, I don't have a problem to drop the idea, but I don't understand why there's a restricted number of Snape threads. This is so frustrating, if I would at least know the reason or when such a poll could be posted.

Only staff are allowed to start polls. But we'll discuss incorporating your ideas into the next version of the Snape thread. :)

As for the reason threads on Snape are restricted, the threads are so controversial that we have to read every post in both Snape!Lily and Snape!Analysis. Needless to say this uses a lot of staff resources. So having a limited number of threads eases this burden slightly.

Thanks, both for your explanation and for including it otherwise. :)

Can we have a thread for all the minor characters of the weasley clan put together? I would love to see a thread on aunt Muriel and Uncle Billius. I know we don't have enough canon about either of them. But we could draw comparisons of their personalities and analyze them in one thread....

I am fairly tired right now, so apologies if there is one... But is there a Snape/Dumbledore joint analysis? In light of revelation that the 2 characters had a similar experience with love - or lack of love/ unrequited love - which shaped their destiny and actions for the rest of their lives - I thought this might be an interesting discussion. The more I realize that they were alike yet so different. Just a thought & suggestion.
:)
Thanks!

I would second the idea of the Dumbledore/Snape joint analysis, because as DH makes clear, the two of them are such closely-bound allies for so long. The relationship they have is very interesting.

But I don't want to sound like I'm pestering anyone - I understand we have to let the level of tension die down first.

There is your answer :lol:

We are currently limiting the Snape discussion threads. You can create a suggested thread, along with discussion questions for staff to review, if you would like to have a particular topic started. That is how many of them get approved.

oh, if i'm getting this correctly, say if i wanted to a discusion thread about Malfoy, i would post a thread, and then a staff member would see it, and take it off and replace it?

Not that i have any good ideas yet....

I looked and did a search and did not see Bill or Charlie Weasley...

I know Charlie wasn't really seen too much, but it would still be nice to have a thread for both. I think Bill's role in DH most definitely warrants him a thread :D.

How funny! I was just coming in here to suggest this. The Snape/Dumbledore relationship fascinates me now more than ever, and I've been DYING to talk about it since DH. I believe there's just as much good juicy stuff to discuss there as there is with Harry/DD, Severus/Lily or GG/DD.

And - just to prove it ;) - some suggested discussion questions for Snape/Dumbledore:

1) Do you believe Dumbledore consciously saw the parallels between his own story and Snape's?
2) Do you believe Snape knew anything about Dumbledore's past? If he did, did he see the similar patterns of their lives?
3) Do you think Severus was jealous (in a sibling-type way) of Dumbledore's fondness for Harry?
4) When do you think Dumbledore stopped trusting Severus solely because of Lily and began trusting him based on his own actions and character (i.e., when did DD start believing "sometimes we sort too soon")?
5) How much do you think Dumbledore knew of the animosity between Snape and the Marauders? Why didn't he do anything about it?
6) How/why do you think Dumbledore got Severus to keep quiet about Lupin's affliction? And speaking of the "prank," in PoA Snape accuses DD of forgetting that Black once tried to kill him, and Dumbledore tells Severus, "My memory's as sharp as it ever was, Severus." What do you think he meant by this?
7) Was it Dumbledore who taught Snape Occlumency? Given what we saw of the early DD/SS relationship, how do you think those lessons would have compared with Harry's sessions with Snape?
8) Did Albus "assign" Severus to Harry's protection solely because he needed help with the task, or was he trying to give Snape a reason to live and a means of atonement?
9) Do you believe Dumbledore came to genuinely care for Snape? What about Snape for Dumbledore?
10) Do you think it's just a coincidence that Harry names the same son after both of these men, or do you believe that Albus and Severus are inexorably linked in Harry's mind? Does Harry see the similarities in them as well? Or is it simply that they both shaped and influenced his life - for good and bad - in so many ways?

(And that's just for starters, hee! :))

Thanks for the suggestion, guys. Hope this fits your expectations:

I've got a suggestion. How about a thread for all of the Dumbledores together? That way, we can discuss Albus' sister's death, as well as the various relationships within the family.

Hi,

I was wondering about two threads actually! By the way, the Snape/Dumbldore thread is awesome.

1. James and Harry

2. Lily and Hermione.

I don't have high hopes for the second, but I thought I will post the suggestion anyway, so that it can be taken on later, if mods feel okay with it.

Thanks,

Is there a thread on Blaise Zabini? He cropped up in our discussion on the Snape thread, and he's SUCH a cool kid.

He's one of the few black kids at Hogwarts - the school population is meant to be a fair representation of the ethnic makeup of the United Kingdom - and a pureblood Slytherin who has no time for half-blood traitors. But he doesn't have much time for potential Death Eaters either. So, he's a pureblood aristocrat, a snobbish one to boot, but also apparently isn't about to become a Voldemort groupie any time soon.

It's curious, how racism in the wizarding world is not based on the colour of one's skin ... and yet is no less malevolent in its intent.

Anyway, Blaise. Cool kid. :)

Unfortunately, the discussion of Ariana Dumbledore always ventured in non-family friendly territory and to be honest, we have too little to do a character analysis for her. We already have threads on Albus and Aberforth, both of which could do with some activity. :)

My apologizes if this is already on here or not, but I would like to see an analysis thread for Albus Serverus Potter to see what people's opinions of him and what he might become are. I'd also like to see a Teddy Lupin and James Potter (Harry's son) analysis threads for the same reason as I stated for Albus Potter. Thanks.

Apart from being DADA teachers these characters have nothing in common. Legilimency Studies is a place for in-depth character analyses and Joint Character Analysis threads only make sense if the characters have a very close relationship or have a lot in common. You're welcome to open a thread on the DADA teachers in the Stone or the Cloak, depending on the focus of the thread. :)

I understand. I couldnt help thinking though that they were possibly so inactive due to only being limited to one House-Elf. Still thought I might as well throw it out there. :)

I'd be interested to see a character analysis thread for the Sorting Hat.

It's rooted around in the brains of every student to pass through Hogwarts. That has to give it some kind of dramatic insights into human nature. For a magical item designed primarily to sort students, it seems rather torn about its artificially imposed destiny. It might also be a thread in which to question its motives for house assignments and the soundness of its judgements.

I like that suggestion. the hat is more of an object than a character, so i kind of think it would fit in the stone or cloak better :/

Due to the Snape character still supporting a rather heated discussion threads about him are limited. Snape Threads: Post DH (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108220). The current Snape Character Analysis thread has a strong focus on at least the teaching relation both had actually. :)

We don't allow threads that are created for the sole purpose of criticizing the characters.

I looked through the two pages of the Legilimency Studies and I couldn't find a Buckbeat charector analisis or a Mrs. Figg charector analisis. Even though they are small charectors I think that they should have analisises.

Unfortunately, we have nothing to go on for a character analysis on Buckbeak since hippogriffs do neither speak nor interact a lot with their own kind. Mrs Figg is indeed a minor character and I'm afraid we don't have enough to give her a thread in LS. You may want to check out The fate of the Squibs (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=110553) and Arabella Figg's Living Arrangements (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=109073) and, of course, you are welcome to discuss aspects of her that interest you in the Stone or the Wand. :)

Can we formally add James to the Lily and Snape thread? It is nearly impossible to speak about Snape and Lily without James and when we move posts over to James' thread when they get more James centric, the subject still concerns Snape and Lily.

In the alternative, maybe you could bring the Lily and James thread into LS so we can keep the cross refereces out of the individual threads as much as possible. Or create a James and Lily character thread here if you wish to keep the other one out in the stone.

We've got a draft of James/Lily that will likely go live soon. James/Lily/Snape is unlikely for the foreseeable future. Mostly because the LS staff is enjoying what little sanity we still have.

What is the status with the Lily and James thread? I thought it was going up any day like three weeks ago... We don't need a pole or questions, can't we just start it here? The one in the public Stone area is not character based and many casual posters simply express their love for the couple, :lol:. Starting a character topic gets shoved aside as that is not the basis of the thread. Can we please have this soon?

We won't have two threads on the same topic. If James/Lily needs a new version it will be opened here.

Jessica said we were having one here - she said it was drafted up and ready to go live soon - she said that like 2 weeks ago. Has that changed? If it has, are we supposed to do major character analysis for the couple out in the Stone, is that going to be all right? I have held off doing so because I thought it would not be appropriate out there.

The draft is still there, but it won't change anything into a James - Lily - Snape discussion when it goes to live. This still won't happen. :)

I didn't think the mods would be in to dealing with that :rotfl:. I was speaking just of the Lily/James thread. So if it is in draft form until the other finishes, then I assume it is fine to speak in terms of their characters in the thread that is in the Stone. Sometimes the conversation speaks of that a little, but I didn't know if it would be cool to do an all out analysis based on their characteristics we know of and how that caused them to mesh well as a couple. But I assume from what you and Moriath have said that it would be all right to do. Thanks :tu:

Ah, sorry - yes it it. :lol:

What about a Sirius and James charector analysis. That way we can talk about all their trouble making and their brother like friendship.

We have a Marauders: Group Character Analysis (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=112100) thread and one thread for each character. They are sufficiently covered. :)

Aw... buh but there can never be enough Sirius for us fan girls :lol: :rotfl:

Is there a Harry/Hermione friendship discussion thread somewhere on here that I haven't found? Using the search I discovered, Harry/Hermione: their friendship in DH (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108763&highlight=Hermione), but I was wondering if there was a thread that discussed their friendship over the years and how it's evolved and changed with everything they've been through together. If there isn't, could I suggest one?

We have this thread: The Trio - Group Character Analysis (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=112501&highlight=Trio) where you could discuss Harry and Hermione.

Is there a crabbe goyle character analysis thread?I have been rereading hallows and there are some aspects I would like to discuss but apparently they dont have a thread.

They have no thread yet, because Legilimency forums actually is about quite in-depth analysis, but we don't know much about their characters from the series.

Do you think it would be possible to put your thoughts in Slytherin House : Group Character Analysis (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=107835)?

Ok,I will ,thankyou.

I think there's a Merope character analysis thread, but I don't think we have a Gaunt family thread. Could we please have one discussing them as a group, like family relations, what they were like (how they lived together), possible living relatives to the Gaunts, etc?

There really isn't enough information about the Gaunt Family to generate the kind of in-depth character analysis found in the Legilimency Studies forum. You can start a thread about the Gaunt Family Dynamics, or whatever title you choose, in The Cloak forum. We have one there for the Black Family, for the same reasons.

I know it's caused some trouble in the past, but do you think we're ready to give a Snape and Harry thread another try?

We had a Snape and Harry thread?

There were a couple attempts. The one I remember most was talking about the similarities between the two of them. But no, there hasn't been one in LS.

I'm surprised there isn't a Ron and Hermione thread. You know, discussing their romantic relationship? Or is that already covered in The Trio thread?
I second ignisia, a Snape and Harry thread would be awesome.

There is a Ron and Hermione (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108077&highlight=Hermione)thread in The Stone forum.

We do not have any plans to have a Snape and Harry thread right now.

Wasn't there a Remus/Tonks character thread? I had a brainstorm related to their marriage, but I can't locate the thread...

Here you go:

The Malfoy Family Analysis (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=110503&highlight=Malfoy)

It is in The Stone forum, rather than in Legilimency Studies.

I have a question. Would it be possible to have a thread to compare and contrast two characters who bear some striking similarities to one another but never actually appear together in the series. The reason I ask is because I couldn't help picking up on a number of similarities between Draco and Regulus and I think it would be good to have a thread to compare the two of them.

Is it possible to create a Snape-Sirius joint character analysis thread? Or comparative analysis. I'd also fancy a Snape-Wormtail one. Things are always cropping up about their likeliness or differences, and we see quite a lot of them, and their relations, it would be nice to have threads dedicated to them.

I'm sorry, but the amount of active Snape threads is still limited. For reference: Snape Threads: Post DH (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108220). :)

Adding to what my Lord and Master said, most of the time we do not allow comparisons between Snape and the Marauders because it usually ends in a really scary death match and the rather circular discussion of which character was meaner and eviller and more deserving of eternal damnation. Er, yes. :yuhup:

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but is there a Regulus Black thread? I would really love to discuss him. I haven't found one yet.

So do you allow comparisons between other characters? Like Cissybellasaid there are lot of characters who have a lot of similarities, but for instance they are enemies or never get along with each other. Is it possible to have such threads. I think it would be interesting to have such discussions. :)

Depends on who you have in mind. You're welcome to owl me with suggestions.

A Bellatrix/Narcissa thread would be nice

Would a Harry/Luna thread be possible? I always thought these two had an interesting relationship which was very different from the others in the series

Sorry, forgot to reply right away.

As to Bella/Narcissa, I'd rather have a Black family thread, to be honest. I don't see a lot of potential here, since all sisters do have their own threads, all of which would allow for a discussion about their relationships to each other. Yet all of them are inactive.

The same goes for Harry/Luna. Both character analysis threads are in their first versions, which means that there is not enough interest in them, sadly. You're welcome to bring up their friendship in the existing threads. If this kicks off, we can talk about a new thread again. :)

Ok this might seem cheesy, and apologies if there is already a thread on this, but what about a thread where people talk about things that have happened in everyday life that they thought could have been caused my magic? I don't know if that really makes sense so I'll try and use an example; I was sitting on the lounge and holding the remote in my left hand, the phone rang to my right so I answered with my right hand, and when I hung up the phone, the remote was now sitting on the right hand side of the arm chair. It was a quick conversation so I know I didn't subconciously put the remote there.

LOL this sounds so lame I think I am just embarassing myself :yuhup:

I was almost sure we have such a thread already, but didn't find it now.

It's no problem, you can just go ahead and start such a thread. Perhaps in the Quidditch Pitch (if you want to share such events mostly) or the Cloak (if you want to discuss the possibilities of such events on a deeper level).

This suggestion thread only exists for the character analysis threads in Legilimency area which are quite restricted. :)

I wanted to start a thread about the similarities between the upbringings of Draco, Severus and Sirius. I don't think that has been discussed before... Right??

First of all, this would be a thread for the Stone, not Legilimency Studies, as we only have character analysis threads here and all of the characters you listed already have a thread. Second, we do still have special rules on new Snape threads: Snape Threads: Post DH (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=108220). Your proposed thread includes Snape and a Marauder. Unfortunately, experience taught us that the fans of both cannot compare these characters peacefully and respectfully without turning the discussion into a bashfest of one or the other. So I have to tell you that I would close such a thread, as interesting as the topic is. :)

Pitty... seemed like such a good idea. :shrug:

I know it's to some extend not as interesting, but sometimes the according social groups are a great place to discuss such ideas. It just unfortunately doesn't work in the main forums. :)

Could we have a Flitwick character analysis thread? I just noticed he doesn't have one.

No Flitwick thread. How can the champion duellist be neglected :no:

I think a thread can be arranged. If you have some ideas for questions you can send them to us :)

I didn't read all the rules, so my attempt did 'mysteriously vanish' :lol: sorry!

I wanted to do a thread on Phineas Nigellus Black!! Couldn't find one..

His portrait had a key role in DH. His snide comments also provided some comedic relief at otherwise grave times throughout the series. In truth... the portrait is only a replica of the real man, although he is still a sentient portrait-being that we should be able to analyse! And we can deduce some things from his family tree - simple names, dates, and burn marks might be very telling!

Possible discussion questions:

1. Phineas disowned his son, Phineas (jr), for supporting Muggle rights. What prejudices of Phineas' are displayed by his portrait? These are from 100 years ago - what do they tell us about the prejudices seen throughout the series?

2. Phineas seems to admire Snape as headmaster, though he appeared reluctant to help out when Dumbledore was in the position. Was this simply Slytherin favouritism?

3. Sirius calls him 'the least popular headmaster Hogwarts ever had'. Why do you think this is?

4. Phineas' brother Sirius died when they were very young; Phineas named his firstborn Sirius. How do you think Phineas (in the portrait) really felt towards the next Sirius, his great-great grandson? Was his upset at Sirius' death merely dynastic in nature?

5. Phineas' portrait was duty-bound to serve the headmasters of Hogwarts. Where do you think his true loyalties were? Did he sympathise with Tom Riddle / Voldemort?



Thanks!

Your suggestion is under review. :)

Maybe a thread about Remus Lupin and his relationship with the maraudeurs?

1. Remus was closer to James , Peter or Sirius?

2. According tou you , Remus was jealous of the friendship of Sirius and James?

3. Did Remus was jealous about James and Sirius popularity?

4. Peter was Remus s' best friend or just a boy who he let follow them?

sorry if my english is bad I'm speak french :)

Oh ok. Thank you for those links :)

Two suggestions:

The Gryffindor Chaser trio of Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell--together on the team for years, went from players on the same team to participants in the DA and finally to soldiers-in-arms during the Battle of Hogwarts. How does that change their group dynamic over the years? Angelina is an interesting individual as a love interest for the Weasley twins, and Katie had that frightful necklace episode in HBP. (Demelza Robins could be included in the thread since she was a Chaser, even though not in this traditional trio.)

The other suggestion is Oliver Wood, the most Quidditch-obsessed wizard probably in the world. I don't recall seeing a thread for him.

Alternatively, you could combine both of these into a general Gryffindor Quidditch team thread, but I think there's enough for these two entries on their own.

We'll look into it. :)

Hey, can we have an analysis thread on Walburga Black (Sirius's mom)? I was looking for one but couldn't find it. I know there are The Black Family Dynamics Revisited thread and maybe others? but i was hoping we could have one that was more specific to just Walburga (and maybe her husband too if we could include them together)? I would make discussion questions for it, if you'd like.

Hi,

The problem is that there isn't enough information on Walburga to allow for a thread that has to be based on canon facts. That's why I would like to direct you towards the The Black Family Dynamics Revisited thread. Don't take this personally. We have a lot of threads on minor characters that are barely ever used because there isn't much to discuss - and there's more canon on them than on Walburga. In other areas of the forum, speculation surrounding Walburga may be more feasible, but in LS and its emphasis on canon debate, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Do we have a thread on the Gaunt family? I couldn't find one on here (apart from Merope) but might have missed one elsewhere.

We have one thread about the family as a whole: The Gaunt Family (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=116953&highlight=gaunt*)

Thanks Hes - I thought there should be one somewhere!
