100 degrees Celsius is defined as the boiling point at exactly _1.0 atmospheric pressure _

It says it’s so massive they orbit a common point outside the sun. Smaller planets don’t have their common point outside the sun.

The trick is to have a canned sound to use to respond to something that can be interpreted as that’s good, that’s bad, that’s interesting, etc.

fyi - unless you completely dry it, it will likely die from corrosion in the near future.

By your definition, there have never been any genocides. Jewish people still exist.

Isn’t that the point tho? The author created a purposefully imperfect world where the children could recognize the injustices and stand up against them. That’s role modeling the right behavior. Our world is certainly not perfect and we have to stand up against bigotry and injustice (like transphobia). And the heros in the hp stories make mistakes but they learn and improve themselves - Rowling could learn from her own books!

Right. The vague concept existed before in many different forms. She put hircruxes in her books and made them a thing that people understood. I’m not saying she’s a great writer, but she clearly appealed to a lot of people with her writing, and not just kids. Her stories at least had decent morals. I’m not defending any of her anti-trans crap, but her Harry Potter fiction is a separate thing.

Um, where else did you get your original definition of a horcrux?
