Is Voldemort a virgin?

[OhShutUpThomas]

And any other Harry Potter mysteries!

Can anyone answer mine?
Is Voldemort a virgin?
What happened to Rodolphus Lestrange?
Why do some spells take weeks and hours of homework to learn, yet Harry can imperious people by just saying it?

Anyone else? I've got more, can't think just now. Just finished re-reading!

My burning question - and I adore HP - is about Hagrid.

Why doesn't the poor bastard get an important ceremony to reinstate his wand when it is proved that the Chamber of Secrets was Voldy all along?

I feel v.sorry for him having to use the umbrella for the rest of his life. :(

Coz the wizarding world is properly harsh.

Everyone knows your blood-status - this is a caste society. Oh... you're a squib? Ostracising is the only option, clearly. Basically, if you're disabled, you're shoved away and forgotten about.

the MoM controls everything with no apparent elections for it's leaders, they employ most of the witches and wizards it seems and keep tabs on everyone.

Snape might not have had relationships after Lily's murder by Voldemort, but he would have refused to pine for Lily between his argument with Lily and her death. I expect he had a few relationships then, trying to prove to himself he was over her.

Roaring with laughter at shagging Nagini.

I also think they would have had dirty talk in parseltongue in front of the Death Eaters. They'd think he was giving her commands or something, when he's actually saying 'just you wait till tonight you slinky fucker, I'm gonna do you in every room of Malfoy Manor' etc etc.

I reckon Voldemort had loads of sex. Snape probably had a few shags over the years but his heart wouldn't have been in it.
My question is how are there so many pupils in Hogwarts that Harry doesn't know. Regularly throughout the books students are referred to as "a tall Rawenclaw boy that Harry didn't know or a red faced Hufflepuff girl that Harry didn't recognise
JKR says that Hogwarts has 1000 pupils but even so, my school had 1000 pupils in it and after a while I got to know a large portion of them, even by first name or that they were someone's brother plus I didn't live with them 24/7 either.
And if there were 1000 pupils that means that 250 were jockying for comfy seats in the common room every night, imagine the noise.
No I think there were much fewer pupils, which means it would have been even easier for Harry to get to know them all. He must have been very self involved.
Also imagine Hermoine's poor parents. They get this letter out of the and off their only child goes to boarding school only to return for a few Christmas and a few weeks during the summer and after a few years she stops going home for Christmas and starts spending most of the summer holidays with the Weasleys. I feel sorry for them. They're probably better off having their memories wiped.

There were about 700 pupils in my secondary school, yet I only knew about half from my own year group, never mind the rest! And don't forget, as they were seperated by houses and house tables, they probably didn't get the chance to mingle much.

I always think that about Hermiones parents. They can't have seen her for a full 6 weeks altogether since she was 11

The films were bullshit, all of them, DP used to heave a big sigh when we left before going

" Go on then, get it off your chest, what was wrong this time?"

Me - "Well I'm glad you fucking asked, take a seat, this will take a while..."

I would slay an interview on HP for a job, I would skip to work with glee in my eyes every morning. I am so jealous of the person who worked at the studio tours.

I have the Sword of Gryffindor on my Harry Potter wall, I would put an embarrassed face but I'm not ashamed! I bloody love my merch, when I unwrapped my sword I nearly wept, it means more than an engagement ring would from DP. I doubt the kids will bring any friends home when they're older!

Thanks to this thread I've just googled snake sex.

Did Harry shag Ginny in book 6? Did she loose her virginity to Dean Thomas? It said something about the particularly enjoyable afternoon he spent outside with Ginny. Or was it just some heavy petting? He also said about Ginny cropping up in his dreams in ways which made him glad Ron was not a legilimens so he obviously thought about it a lot.

Ginny did talk about all the snogging though (joy I'm actually reading these to DS) so it sounds like that's all it was. Hermoine was 14 when she snogged Victor Krum who was 18!

LOL there is definitely a train of thought that Voldemort wouldn't be have as full of hate and anger if he'd just got laid. As he was incapable of feeling love he certainly wouldn't ever have an emotional relationship, but if he ever had urges it would be quite true to his character to use a female Death Eater to satisfy himself, after all other people only mattered in terms of how useful they were to him. Bellatrix would definitely be willing. Hell Rodolphus would probably even be fine with it because the Lestranges seemed to really worship him THAT much.

The big question I have is how come nobody shot Voldemort at any stage. Not saying it would be as easy as walking up to him randomly and doing it because he can chose to read people's minds but surely a well thought out operation, attacking from multiple positions would work, as I think even if Protego can stop a bullet, you need a split second to cast it AND it (at least in the films) only seems to project a shield in the direction you cast it, it doesn't surround you in a bubble.

In the final film when they cast that big "force field" spell around Hogwarts which Voldemort later single handedly destroys, why don't they cast the spell again? I know that the plot requires the Death Eaters to overrun the castle but they should at least have given the audience a canon explanation for why they can't do that instead of letting us make our own explanation. I'd be happy with a quick 10 second throwaway line about how it's such a powerful spell that casting it again so quickly after the first time severely injures the wizard/destroys their wand.

I always thought it was funny how everybody would have the same teachers. For years and years in some cases - being taught by your parents' teachers would be fairly common (given the age most seem to be having their children!). I wonder if anybody ever wanted to teach, or you just had to accept you'd do something else until a job came up.

No see I do think think Alab Rickman was well cast. He'said a great actor but Snape was meant to be about 32, skinny, dry sallow etc. Rickman just didn't get that for me.

I want to know how there appears to be no radios at Hogwarts for he kids to listen to music.

Oh, and are there special wizarding supermarkets? The Weasleys were rubbish with muggle money, but people don't seem to go to Diagon Alley for everything - they always picked a day to go for school shopping.

Wondering I think I read somewhere that JK was trying to imply that Ginny was attempting to have sex with Harry on his 17th birthday to give him something to remember her by, before they were interrupted by Ron. So I think it must have been after the war when they finally did their thang.

Fabulous thread!

A PP mentioned Quidditch being the only (and sedentary) sport - I've always wondered about cultural life in the wizarding world. Hardly any mention of art, music (except Molly's favourite crooner on the radio), all the books are non-fiction etc. What are the kids actually into???

Bellatrix would definitely be willing. Hell Rodolphus would probably even be fine with it because the Lestranges seemed to really worship him THAT much.

Rodolphus would be sat in the corner watching, wanking furiously.

In the final film when....

I'll stop you there
The films are shit and make no sense. End of.

" He was probably shagging Nagini for most of books 5-7, if we're honest." 😂😂😂😂😂

Love this thread! We went to the studio tour last month. Loved it! If I'm honest I need to go without the DCs so I can spend more time (because 5 hours wasn't enough) reading all the stuff anfnatlking to all the staff who know extra bits.

DS often asks questions about the films (because half doesn't seem to make sense), DH just sighs "ask your mother, she'll know" then I'll give a long and exact answer, punctuated with exasperatedness at the shortcomings of the films (in particular 3 and 4).

I really should be cleaning my house but I can't stop reading

Thanks mavis, I feel happier knowing that. Just some fingering/wanking going on in the Hogwarts grounds then.

What were Fleur and Roger Davis doing in the bushes then?

I reckon Voldy and Snape were both virgins. Snape never got over Lily (because he really didn't) and Voldy was more interested in being an overlord to bother with something like sex.

Can you imagine the mundane parts of Voldy, shuffling to the loo in his slippers, magicking some breakfast and munching on piece of toast whilst reading the Daily Prophet, snapping his fingers at Wormtail to bring him tea, because he can't function properly without it.
Hahaha I love the thought of Voldy having slippers. Fluffy ones preferably.

I LOVE this thread!

I always wondered if any shenanigans went on at the school, were they all virgins or was there any fumbles in the broom cupboard? With them all being teenagers surely .. The oldest being 17? would have happened in our school
And also were all the teachers single and did they all actually live at Hogwarts?

"I want to know how there appears to be no radios at Hogwarts for he kids to listen to music."
There are radios at Hogwarts. I'm sure it's mentioned in the books in passing that they listen to it in the common room.

I always thought that sex before marriage was probably frowned upon in the wizarding world, hence people marrying and having kids young. The only evidence is Bill and Fleur and their enforced separate rooms at the Weasleys though!

I think Riddle probably got some action in his younger days though, as well as Snape (although he's portrayed as being very unattractive).

I think Ian McKellen as Dumbledore would have been too similar to his Gandalf, and at around the same time. I didn't personally think that either Richard Harris or Michael Gambon matched up to the Dumbledore in my head though!!
