do you think it’s strange that the uk monarchy is, as far as i remember, never mentioned in the books? it seems so weird to me since, for better or worse, it’s such an integral part of the concept of “britishness” - even if wizarding society seems pretty removed from muggle society, the monarchy has such a long history that it seems weird for the two societies to not intermingle in it. has wizarding society cut ties with it after the issue of the statute of secrecy? how many of the crown jewels are actually magical items? how *noble* is the house of black, really? were there ever kings or queens who were wizards?
there’s so many questions i have about this! such a world building plot hole!
Ok, so there are a lot of questions here and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability. I will note there are a bunch of my own headcanons in this post. They are based on what we know about Wizarding History and what I know about irl UK history but they are still headcanons.
So, we know the Ministry of Magic was founded in 1707 after the Statue of Secrecy was enacted in 1692. The ministry was an immediate response to said statute since wizards needed a more uniform government to enforce their secrecy and cover up any slip ups. This means that before the Statue of Secrecy, the muggle government or monarchy earlier was the governing force for wizards as well as muggles. Yes, the Wizengamot already existed, but it seemed to behave differently from how it does in the modern ministry.
I wrote about the Wizengamot and how I believe it works along with some of its history here although I learned more UK history since, so this post is more accurate on the history front.
Now, I hope you won't mind me going into some medieval history of the UK in general, since the monarchy has changed over time, and in the early Middle Ages, the UK was comprised of multiple smaller kingdoms. Wales had 3 big kingdoms, but also a bunch of smaller ones (there were also warlords that took over abandoned Roman fortresses after the Romans left Britain in eastern Wales), England had the Anglo-Saxons settling in after the Romans left and creating multiple Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (like Wessex and Marcia). Scotland and Ireland were similarly divided. There were the biking invasions and a whole Viking kingdom in north-east England that's referred to as "The Dane Law". England did unite under King Aethelstan eventually, but with all these fractured kingdoms and warlords, I'm sure there were some wizards among them. Then, of course, there is the Norman monarchy and nobility established after the Norman conquests, which officially settled in 1066.
My point with all of this history is that like muggle society, wizarding society changed and evolved and that the monarchy in Britain wasn't the same throughout the entirety of history. So, the status of wizards and wizard nobility changed based on the specific time period we are discussing. But let's look at post-normans pre-Statue of Secrecy wizarding high society, and for that the Pottermore article about the Malfoy family is incredibly helpful:
Like many other progenitors of noble English families, the wizard Armand Malfoy arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror as part of the invading Norman army. Having rendered unknown, shady (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries.
(from Pottermore)
Most nobility in England after the conquest were normans close to William who arrived with him and were given muggle noble titles, lands, and status. irl, the first Peverell in England, William Peverell was similarly given lands as he was said to be a son of William the Conqueror. That being said, some Anglo-Saxon nobility (mostly from the south of England since the northern Anglo-Saxon nobility were mostly killed after their rebellion) were kept in place by William as long as they swore fealty to him. Families like the Blacks and Longbottoms (both having Anglo-Saxon surnames) are likely among this leftover Anglo-Saxon nobility.
Now besides the muggle nobility, which is very much aware of wizards and even includes wizards (like the Malfoys, Peverells, Lestranges, and the Gaunts) we have the Wizangamot. The Wizaengamot, which I wrote more about in the post I linked, have likely been around and acted as a council of wizard nobility alongside the muggle one before the Norman invasion since around when Hogwarts was founded (around 990). The Blacks and Longbottoms (and the Notts who also have a Germanic name dating to the Dane Law I referenced earlier and King Knut who ruled that portion of England) were probably in this council.
We also know the Malfoys aren't in the Wizengamot in the books, meaning the circles of nobility for each council were different. This is easily explained by the Wizengamot being there earlier and being Anglo-Saxon rather than Norman. The name Wizangamot is, in itself, from old English which supports this speculation.
Since the Wizengamot continued existing after the conquest, I assume William the Conquerer left it as it is, wanting to ally himself with the local wizarding community rather than going to war with them. Wizards are, after all, really fucking useful, and irl he did keep some of the Anglo-Saxon nobility, so that's in character.
I think, after the conquest the Wizengamot either grew in the number of families there or that the families that opposed William were replaced with Norman wizard nobles that William trusted to represent him in the magical community.
The same Pottermore article about the Malfoy family also notes:
Historically, the Malfoys drew a sharp distinction between poor Muggles and those with wealth and authority. Until the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoy family was active within high-born Muggle circles, and it is said that their fervent opposition to the imposition of the Statute was due, in part, to the fact that they would have to withdraw from this enjoyable sphere of social life. Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queen’s subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy.
(from Pottermore)
This means the monarchy throughout history was well aware of wizards and that the magical nobility was also muggle nobility and allowed in the same circles, but not vice versa. It seems to me, that the Malfoys had a muggle noble title from William I, and once the Statue of Secrecy was enacted they lost their title since they weren't also Wizarding nobility (Wizengamot members). (The Malfoys did keep all their money though).
Considering what Pottermore implies, it seems to me, there is a high chance of some crown jewels being magical. I mean, Lucius Malfoy I proposed to Queen Elizabeth I, and in my headcanon the aforementioned Willaim Peverell is the father of the three brothers of the Deathly Hallows, and in this headcanon, William Peverell is a half-blood wizard. Point is, yeah, the monarchy was well aware of wizards and seemed to have been in an alliance with the Wizengamot and the magical community. Although, I'm sure attitudes changed over time and differed from monarch to monarch with some being closer to the Wizarding community than others, but in general the Wizengamot and the wizarding community as a whole were under the governance of the muggle monarch.
It's actually possible there were a few wizards who ruled the UK (or any of the earlier kingdoms that eventually united) across the Isles's history. I think it's even likely if we're being honest. Egbert the Egregious, for example, might've been a king of Kent or Wessex (two of the older kingdoms before England united) as kings of the same name are recorded in both.
Once the Statue of Secrecy was enacted the wizards drew away from muggle society and wizards who held muggle noble titles likely lost them. But we know some muggles are aware of wizards' existence. We see at the beginning of HBP that the muggle Prime Minister is informed of wizards' existence and obliviated when they leave office. If I had to bet, the monarch (and perhaps more in the royal family) are similarly aware that wizards exist but aren't really involved. Like, the monarch probably knows but is only informed when something in the Wizarding World spills out to the muggle one. So, the monarch knows wizards exist, but not much more than that.
As for how noble the House of Black really was, I mentioned I believe they were nobles of the Wizengamot and Anglo-Saxon nobility before the Normans. I think all magical families in the Wizengamot that were around before the Normans would be considered: "Noble and Ancient". We see the Blacks being referred to as "The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black" compared to the Gaunts who are just: "House of Gaunt" which is how wizard nobility from after the conquest would be titled in my headcanon.
The name Gaunt is one that arrived in Britain with the Normans as stated in a survey of England's land done by William after the conquest (this survey is known as the "Doomsday Book" and it essentially details which land belongs to which lord. The book names both Norman lords and Anglo-Saxon ones and is a super useful historical document. It occasionally even mentions which Anglo-Saxon lord was deposed for the sake of a new Norman one). Gilbert de Ghent (standardized spelling wasn't a thing yet), named in said survey was the nephew of King William I's wife and as such received lands. A lot of them, actually:
"Few among the Conqueror's companions of arms were so splendidly rewarded as Gilbert de Ghent, who held one hundred and seventy-two English manors."
(Manors refers to actual manors, but also the land surrounding them. Basically, it refers to a family seat)
As the Gaunts were so favored, it's likely William I placed his nephew's family (who I headcanon at least some are wizards) in the Wizengamot. I believe the Slytherins married into the Gaunt family around the same time to add legitimacy to the Gaunts' status in the wizarding community.
The Malfoy Family that doesn't have a magical noble title and lost their muggle one is just referred to as: "Malfoy Family" and never "House of Malfoy" which again, to me, suggests this is how these titles work.
The aforementioned Doomsday Book does mention a William Black with 5 manors in Devon. William Peverell, as a son of King William I is mentioned to have 153 manors given to him and another 75 to Ranulf Peverell (not sure of the familial relationship). Reginald Cnut (older spelling of Nott) is also mentioned in the Doomsday Book to have 26 manors. Malfoy is a name JKR made up and isn't mentioned in the Doomsday Book or any other survey of UK landowners done in the Middle Ages. I did read a legend about one Guy Le Strange who participated in a tournament at Castle Peverell around 1083 and won the hand of Mellette, the niece of William Peverell. Although the Lestranges are not mentioned in the Doomsday Book and this legend likely dates from the 13th century a good 200 years after the supposed events it details.
So, to summarise, wizards don't seem to have or ever had a royal family of their own but there were most likely wizard royals throughout the various kingdoms that existed in history. Some wizards do have a noble status that I headcanon/speculate is connected to their status as members of the Wizengamot. These Wizengamot titles were also muggle titles and there were wizards with muggle titles that weren't part of the Wizengamot. These wizards probably interacted very closely with the muggle nobility and even shared family trees and were all probably considered half-blooded if you asked a Death Eater. After the Statue of Secrecy, the muggle titles became irrelevant and stopped being used leaving only the Wizarding titles behind (I headcanon "Ancient and Noble houses" refers to Anglo-Saxon nobility, and just "noble houses" refers to Norman nobility among wizards). The UK monarch likely is informed about the wizarding world to a similar degree as we see the muggle prime minister is informed. Blood purity probably only became relevant after the Statue of Secrecy as before that we see intermarriages with muggle royalty and nobility being practiced (I talked a bit about the timing of the witch hunts and the Statue of Secrecy here).
Sorry for the nerdy history talk, but, I answered this after a few weeks of medieval UK research and I have so many thoughts about medieval wizarding society in Britain.

The Riff Raff Element (1993) was one of the last pieces of Con's filmography I watched last year, because I had to buy it on DVD from the UK. But it was SO worth it. I'm gonna upload his scenes somewhere soon, but for now here is a sampling of screencaps.
His character is Jed, a typical sleazy fence for a couple of the protagonists, who rob empty houses, lift wallets, etc.
Tumblr media
He spends all his screentime menacing the female thief who owes him money, doing normal Con O'Neill character things like:
Ripping the heads off dolls.
Tumblr media
Breaking into her room dramatically dressed in all black with leather gloves, then sitting on the frou-frou children's bed because he blends right in.
Tumblr media
Literally crawling over to her and getting all up in her space once it's her turn to sit on the bed.
Tumblr media
Standing like this for some reason after he closes the door?
Tumblr media
Holding her face in his still-gloved hand.
Tumblr media
Hugging her after she attacks him (he really looks like he's into it, too.)
Tumblr media
Slowwwly removing his gloves ...
Tumblr media
... So he can cuddle a stuffed bunny with his bare hands. (He does not rip its head off.)
Tumblr media
He apparently sticks around all night (they're clear nothing sexual occurs between them), but the gloves are back on in the morning when he threatens her while checking his eyebrows in a spoon. (That reflection would be upside down, which just makes it funnier.)
Tumblr media
Then he leaves! And apparently that's where his character arc ends because he's not in any other episodes. A shame, because Jed was so ridiculously camp yet somehow still sexy. Because that's the magic of Con O'Neill!

HP FESTS: Dramione Month (Part 1)
Dramione Month 2023:
Forced Alliances by writes_and_wrongs - E, WIP - “You no longer belong to a house,” Lupin said. “You belong to your quad. You and your three counterparts will become reliant and dependent on each other. Your success is their success. But your failures will also mean their failures.” Hermione tensed as Ginny squeezed her hand. “You will earn points for your quad. Quad points eventually result in special privileges. This will mean balls, Hogsmeade, trips to Diagon Alley, and trips home on long weekends and holidays,” Snape said. “Without points, you don’t leave.” Hermione’s eyes widened. They’d keep them from going home on breaks? Could they do that? “You can earn points just like you used to,” Lupin said. “Academic achievement, cooperation, and selflessness. You cannot lose points, though.” Hermione watched as the tense room seemed to exhale. “Points earned cannot be removed,” Lupin continued. “It will be your quad’s responsibility to devise a punishment fitting of the crime,” Snape announced.
The Serpent's Den by ourswordsmeandeath - M, one-shot - Harry’s body drops in a heap on the shattered cobblestone. There is a distinct crack as his head collides with a large slab. Hermione doesn’t so much as flinch at the sound. She leans against the ruins of the castle wall, numb. Laughter bubbles from the Death Eaters that loiter about. Some cheer. ... Escape is futile.
Hold Onto Me by JessicaLovejoyAO3 - E, 6 chapters - Hermione Granger, an intelligence analyst working in the Muggle Australian Department of Defence, is tapped to help the Department of Magical Law Enforcement capture serial killer and Dark Wizard, Antonin Dolohov who is torturing and killing Muggleborns, After years away from the UK Magical society, she comes face-to-face with a War that she thought she left behind and Auror Draco Malfoy, who seems to know more about her secret designation than she does.
I Would've Walked Through Hell by Midnight_shooting_Star - E, WIP - She had put her hair back up in a bun and placed a metal clip to keep it in place. She wore a light grey pullover sweater and blue jeans. When she turned into the kitchen carrying her books she stopped dead in her tracks, her books slipping from her grasp. Malfoy turned to face her as he stood near the kitchen window drinking coffee from a white teacup. He wore dark black slacks and a white button-down shirt with a green tie. "I think you dropped something Granger." He smirked as he walked towards the sink to wash out his cup. She leaned down and gathered her books back into her arms. How could they place him with her? If Ron and Harry knew they would freak. She watched him closely, a little unsure. "You chose to come back?" "Hmm?" Malfoy focused on the cup he was washing. "Yes, just like you did, I have classes I want to finish so I can get a certain position in the Ministry." She lifted her left brow. Would they seriously let him work for the Ministry? After everything he had done during the war. What his family did during the war. She pulled on her sleeve that held the scar his left had burned into her flesh. "I guess everyone deserves another chance." She spoke softly.
Dramione Month Ficlets by belladeexx - T, 8 chapters - A short collection of other prompts I fulfilled for Dramione Month 2023. Prompts included: Head Boy/Girl, Class Partners, Professors, Prefects Bath, Firsts, Birthday, Beauxbatons/Durmstrang AU, College/Uni AU Each chapter is titled based on the prompt for the day it coincides with. Tags will be stated at the start of each chapter.
Share My Throne by belladeexx - M, one-shot - "Share my throne." She thinks he's joking. He must be. He's gone mad. He swallows, and Hermione's eyes drop to follow the ripple down his throat. She watches as a tiny droplet of blood moves with him. His hips tilt upward, bringing her eyes back to his. "Is that a proposal?" "Is that a yes?" A wisp of a smirk makes its way back to his face.
Draco Malfoy and the Timeline-Turner by anxiousm3ss - T, one-shot - "He was going to fix the Time-Turner, he decided. He was going to fix everything. It was his only chance." Or the one where Draco is so eager to change the past that he rips apart the fabric of reality.
Crookshanks, Pawns, and the Perfect Snog by violently_verbose - E, WIP - Advertising himself as the purveyor of the perfect snog, Malfoy lures in the anxious and inexperienced with the promise of teaching them his technique—but only for a price. An outrageously exorbitant fee that Hermione has decided to pay.
Assumptions and Misconceptions by art_emissss - T, one-shot - Malfoy, undeterred by her icy disposition, took a couple of steps closer. "Can't I inquire about the well-being of my former classmate? It has been a long time since we last saw each other." "As if you missed me." "And what if I did?" Or: the one where they are Headmasters of competing schools.
The Idiots Guide to Traveling Time by Biirdiee_Rose - E, one-shot - “Alright, you win. Cast the containment charm so we can put it under the glass.” Draco says, quickly relenting from his previous petty argument, no longer feeling playful in the slightest. Granger just stands blinking, quiet in a way she never is that starts to set off alarm bells in his head. “Granger?” He asks. “Malfoy…we’re not in the department anymore.” - Curse-breakers Draco and Hermione accidently set off their time-turner assignment and get hurdled into the not so distant future. Imagine their surprise to find that they're married with children. It's only twenty four hours...surely nothing too crazy will happen. Right?
An Exchange of Pretty Faces by MarinaJune - T, one-shot - What would happen if Hermione had a magical ancestor who enrolled her in Durmstrang, alongside Viktor Krum? How might her first meeting with Beauxbatons' exchange student, Draco Malfoy, go differently this time around?

The snowball fight
Tumblr media
Written for @flashfictionfridayofficial with the prompt #FFF235 Little Pink Houses
Fandom: Kamonohashi Ron no kindan suiri / Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions
* Saw two men playing on the street throwing snowballs at each other and suddenly I had the urge to write a RonToto fic situated in London after they visited the Scotland Yard’s Crime Museum. They looked like they were having fun these two… then the taller one attacked the other and they vanished. Got carried away as the word count surged to 995!!! (Beware of the spoilers if you don’t or haven’t read the manga.)
Tumblr media
There are six different ways to describe snow in Japanese, thought Toto. Of all those six, the sight of snow-covered streets reminded him of the untouched yuki-boshi. He grabbed a handful of lily-white snow from someone’s hood of a car and like a ritual began to mould it in a way Toto knew by heart as a small child in Tokyo.
The reminiscences brought a smile to his face, but right now he couldn’t be much happier spending New Year’s Eve in London with none other than Ron. It was not on Toto’s bucket list more than a year ago, yet here he was in the UK capital enjoying the sights with his friend, discovering its nooks and crannies away from the touristic places.
Accompanying the forbidden detective had been natural now for the Tokyo police officer after all what they had been through. To witness his friend donning a toga to officially graduate from the BLUE Academy was already a privilege.
The gruelling events in the late October at the cruise ship and the murders that followed were enough to be a good excuse to stay away from Japan at the moment, to give them the chance to heal from physical wounds and mental exhaustion, thus, to be alone together far away from his hometown.
Toto couldn’t help asking himself the real score between the two of them, but somehow there was something that was hindering him to take action.
Tumblr media
It was only 4:45 pm, but already dark when they left the New Scotland Yard’s Black Museum. The snow on his black gloves started to melt. Ron looked at him fondly and was still shaking from excitement of meeting some of the Scotland Yard staff members that he learned to know as a student at the BLUE.
The immaculate white flakes blanketing the whole city still fascinated Toto even if he was already in his early 30s. The streets that they walked turned magical. Strange that the weather stopped the outpouring of a crowd where they were. They were almost alone except from one or two bystanders.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think it is more different than in Tokyo. My grandmother sent me pics from their balcony. The whole landing was full of snow as well,” Toto showed several pictures taken by his grandma.
“Whoah those!” Ron just exclaimed.
Toto wondered what made his friend astounded.
The image of little pink houses emerged from his view that he himself was dumbfounded seeing the landscape.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Toto said. The images were taken during the sunset. The reflection of the sun’s weird angle against the fresh snow decked on the roofs rendered the whole scenery with a pinkish hue.
Tumblr media
Ron happily glanced at it again only to smack Toto’s face with snow. It took the police officer by surprise, but he was ready to avenge himself.
“You devil!” Toto scooped more snow from the parked cars and threw them nonstop at his friend who did the same thing.
Soon enough there was a barrage of flying snowballs in the air to and fro. The two behaved like children and the almost empty streets of London became their oyster.
Ron then got a hold of Toto’s coat collar and without further ado kissed him full on the lips as he poured bits of snow inside his shirt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stunned both from the amorous action and the cold temperature that engulfed Toto, removing his gloves, he then gripped Ron’s face to ultimately kiss him back. To hell with the melting ice running down his spine. The world stopped as Toto sucked Ron’s tongue and licked the insides of his mouth.
Laughing, Ron struggled to let go as he dragged Toto to an alley where no one could see them at all. Leaning on the abandoned store window, he then proceeded to kiss Toto again whilst taking off his scarf then lifted Toto’s shirt wiping away the wetness on his friend’s back.
After the initial contact, the younger man caressed his friend’s cheeks and kissed his forehead, nose, ears, the top of his head and back to his lips again.
“Apologies, Isshiki-san, it is taking you so long to get your act together.” Ron whispered, his voice two octaves lower than usual. His long hands travelled from Toto’s neck down to his lower back that made Toto shiver.
“Cunning devil…” Toto could only say as he smiled and gave in to Ron’s tender hands.
“So that settles the score, ne?”
Toto nodded and placed his head on Ron’s chest. With the forbidden detective’s fingers behind Toto’s back, Toto wished they could stay like that forever away from the madness of the M Family and gruesome crimes in Japan. But he knew that it would make his now lover sad and useless. Ron loved and lived for sleuthing, puzzles and crimes.
His phone beeped, a message incoming.
Toto searched for his left pocket where his iPhone was.
“Not yet, Toto…”
The messenger was insistent. Ron loosened up his hold on Toto so the latter could maneuver his hand.
“Oh shit! It is Spitz! He and his companion are already at the pub,” Toto couldn’t stand it when he forgot something, but on the other hand, he couldn’t pass up this moment with Ron.
“Ack! Oh well, we must take our leave, I guess…” Ron didn’t give any sign of moving at all.
“It is Spitz, Ron. He promised us to give more information concerning the M Family,” Toto looked at his friend-lover, who reached for his nose to stroke gently.
“Ron, we have to go now.”
“All right. But remember, we aren’t done here yet,” Ron seized Toto’s hand and placed it on his crotch. It made Toto’s eyes bulge.
“Oh my god, I created a monster…”
“Heh,” Ron showed Toto his winning smile.
Ron and Toto then tread the path leading them to Soho holding hands to meet up with their friend.

Made a little graphic of how I imagine the Ministry of Magic working in terms of structure.
This works slightly differently to how I’ve seen some fanfics do it – specifically around the Wizengamot, but I definitely drew influence from them. See below cut for more explanation!
(If anyone has ideas on how a Mugwump is chosen, please comment them)
At the top of everything is the ICW, which Dumbledore is the leader of as the Supreme Mugwump. The ICW makes international wizarding laws in the form of Decrees and Statutes. Examples are: the Statute of Secrecy and Decree for Justifiable Confiscation.
The Ministry of Magic upholds these laws in Britain + makes their own regulations. As we all know, the Minister of Magic is the head of the Ministry.
There is no set term for a Minister. They can leave office in three ways: death, resignation, or removal. In the third case, it is the Wizengamot that removes the Minister. This comes from the court’s roots as an elite, advisory body to the Council Chief (of the Wizards’ Council). The Wizengamot gathers for a vote of no-confidence and if it succeeds, the Minister is deposed.
The members of the Wizengamot are either high ranking members of the Ministry or they are recipients of the Order of Merlin. In part, this is why you get so many posthumous recipients – to limit the number of members. I opted for 2nd Class being the threshold because that ribbon’s colour is purple, the same colour members of the Wizengamot wear. This leaves the 3rd Class as a purely honorary award. While attending the court, Order awardees are known as “Elders”.
The Wizengamot is not part of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but that Department does have a subdivision that handles its administration – such as providing a Court Scribe to record the proceedings (an occupation Percy Weasley fills at one point).
Now, the Wizengamot votes on those who receive an Order of Merlin, which runs the risk of corruption. However, certain criteria must be met before issuing the award (I imagine there is some ancient magic involved). Corruption does seep into the court when it comes to deciding the Class the recipient has earned (which was a later invention). Those who, perhaps, only did enough to be awarded with a Third Class ribbon, might use their wealth and power to lift that to Second or even First Class (such as the case with Arcturus Black). Overall, the Wizengamot does avoid becoming a total Old Boys’ Club, though it is not without its biases.
You might have noticed the Wizards’ Council on this graphic. In the old days, before the Ministry, this was an aristocratic council which met whenever important decisions needed to be made for all wizards in the UK. When not meeting, they carried out the will of the Council Chief.
Not so anymore. With the establishment of the Ministry of Magic, the Wizards’ Council was mostly disbanded. It’s only duty now is to choose a new Minister of Magic. Whenever a Minister dies, resigns, or is removed, the Council is called to meet.
When the Ministry was first established, the 100 or so members of the Council retained their seats. These were set to be inherited by their heirs. Thus, the Council was occupied entirely by pure-bloods who used their influence to control the Ministry.
However, not all of these old families cared much about blood purity and several would eventually become half-bloods. Furthermore, the fact that the Council cannot remove a wizard they have elected from office did have the new Ministers some wriggle room. Thus, over time, the Council was expanded – reducing the influence of the Old Families.
These days, there are 300 seats and the vast majority are held by half-bloods or so-called blood-traitors. Some Old Families hold several seats inherited from the original 100 while others have only managed to cling to one. The unluckiest of all, such as the Weasleys, have lost them entirely. It’s important to note that a single person cannot hold more than one seat, so pure-blood families with only a few members will find it difficult to retain much influence.

Possible HL sequel themes?
with the possible rumour of a hogwarts legacy sequel, i thought i'd join in on the fun of speculating on some possible themes/questlines we might get in mc's sixth year! because for now, speculation is all we have and i am clinging to it
Keeper Resposibilities
starting with the most obvious one, the main character is now a keeper of the repositories, on top of wielding their ancient magic. seeing what this means for them, learning more about using this ability, while carrying the burdensome responsibilities on their shoulders would be something we'd expect to at least be a constant undertone of any sequel games
whether we choose to bring in companions to help us (something professor fig encouraged, but the mc may have felt reluctant towards) is something that may be explored, or another key theme for the overall game
Chamber of Secrets
in the original game script, the gaunt family home was going to be included in the story (we were ROBBED). considering this, on top of the recurrent mentioning of basilisks, and the note we find in salazar slytherin's scriptorium, i don't think it would be illogical to suggest we might get a chamber of secrets questline in the sequel- or, at bare minimum, something to do with the gaunt bloodline/salazar slytherin (we still don't know why isadora's triptych was in the undercroft, nor how salazar slytherin had ancient magic-related runes in his spellbook that sebastian found in the scriptorium)
Triwizard Tournament
i mention this mainly as it's a popular theory. officially, the triwizard tournament was ended in 1792 due to a high death toll, however there were unsuccessful attempts made to bring it back especially considering that we'd be nearing the 100 year anniversary of its outlaw, i could see the ministry/black trying to bring it back. either in mc's sixth year (1891-1892) or seventh year (1892-1893)
so, it's not impossible for us to have a triwizard tournament in the sequel/s- but, if we do get it, then the tournament would have to fail for some reason, to make it compliant with the canon
Enemy Aftermath
removing rookwood and harlow from the ashwinder organisation may have created something of a power vacuum, even if you did the side quests to remove other notable high-ranking members. rookwood had aspirations to make the ashwinders the most prolific underground crime gang in all of europe, no way his gang just occupied the hogwarts highlands the rookwood family is- by the late 1800s- a crime family, we know from rookwood's father, and we might assume the ashwinders organisation is spread across areas of at least the uk- someone is going to gun for top spot in rookwoods absense. or, another underground gang is going to try and replace the ashwinders.
also we can't be ignorant to the fact that ashwinders/poaches recognise the main character for their 'powerful/mysterious/dark' magic, it's entirely possible that has repercussions in and of itself
Continued Companion Questlines
another given, especially for sebastian- since there's a lot of loose ends where his questline ended, and as some of the themes of the 'In the Shadows' storyline were tied to the themes of the game, continuing Seb's story seems only natural, although devs will have to make a canon MC choice on whether we send him to azkaban or not
on top of that, like the aforementioned scrapped 'Gaunt' quest, there's definitely a possibility we'd get more relationship questlines for current and new companions, building on the scrapped companion feature we were supposed to get. (ominis, amit, imelda, everett)
'Scrapped' Game Mechanics
not quite a 'theme' as much as a feature, but provided the feedback Hogwarts Legacy has received (read: common criticisms), it's entirely likely that game mechanics the devs had planned for- 'your choices matter', 'romanceable characters', 'proper companion features' etc., might be implemented.
my understanding is that the main reason these features weren't included ended up being due to time constraints and funding limits (Avalanche is a small studio compared to its competitors). given that a lot of the legwork for HL2 will already be outlined, like the hogwarts map and other mechanics, it wouldn't be outlandish to think that they may have the freedom to add some more elements to the game now. especially as hogwarts legacy exceeded sales predictions, so they can probably invest more into its sequel than they did the first game, in the hopes it will sell equally as well- especially if they add features people are asking for/complaining about not having.
this said, I don't understand the first thing about coding, so I could be wrong, but equally it's a smart business strategy to make if Avalanche Studios want a sequel to succeed- so fingers crossed!

Do you have any headcanons for what music in the wizarding world is like?
I know we see a couple musicians in the books but I know we hear fairly little about Wizarding world music beyond that. And with electronics not working in the wizarding world, harder to bring in a boombox or ipod to show off muggle music to 'em
I mean, I don't really know anything about music, so it's not really my area of expertise. That being said, it's implied there is muggle music influence on wizarding music.
It's seen in the descriptions of some of the musicians we encounter. The Wierd Sisters are described as:
they were all extremely hairy and dressed in black robes that had been artfully ripped and torn.
(GoF)
Which is clearly meant to be a rock band, specifically a metal band. This is a musical style that definitely didn't exist before the Statue of Secrecy. And, we know wizards copied the concept of radio from muggles as well. It's also canon that muggle radios can pick up magical channels:
The Ministry conceded that Muggles frequently catch snippets of advice on, for instance, how to prune a Venomous Tentacula, or how best to remove gnomes from a cabbage bed
(From Pottermore)
So it stands to reason wizards could listen to muggle channels and therefore have access to muggle music.
In terms of like, wizarding society's approach to music, we see there aren't a lot of musicians in the UK (which makes sense, as their society is tiny) but there are enough of them, and enough older magical music that blood purists probably only listen to wizard musicians. There are also probably international musicians and such.
But I don't really have many headcanons besides them being very influenced by muggle music, with, perhaps 5-10 years of delay in trends. Like, even the music blood purists consider 100% magical, is actually heavily influenced by muggle trends, because their society isn't as separated as they like to think.
But I do think wizard music has some older influences that are uniquely their own. It's a mix of influences that gets the variations of musical styles they have.

The fabled blue UK passport is 3 years old today
So this is the perfect time to do a proper, page-by-page comparison of both the old and the new passports, to see how much better the new one is.
Let's start with the front cover
Tumblr media
Although neither of them says anything about the EU anymore, the new one contains the words "BRITISH" and is also (a very dark shade of) blue. 0-1 so far to the blue one
Opening up the pages you can start to see some changes.
Tumblr media
The first thing you'll notice that the second page is now in HARD plastic, hard as the Brexit that allowed this passport to become blue.
Since EU rules don't apply anymore so you could also remove all of those 22 extra pesky translations of our great country, only leaving English, Welsh, Gaelic, Irish, French and Spanish freeing up the space to include your face not just once, but two times!
We also got rid of the map of Cardiff in the background, and the references to seafaring. The latter was recently banned anyway.
2 points to the blue one so far
Tumblr media
Not much change on the next page, apart from the use of hard plastic on the photo page, and the fact that I gained weight. Getting rid of the map of the UK was also a nice change as it was showing Scotland too prominently. They don't deserve this.
In any case this is a tie, so 1-3 points so far
Tumblr media
Next one up some notes and some security notes on the old passport, while the translations of the previous page on the new one. There is a watermark of Shakespeare on the old old one, and a map of Edinburgh, both which were replaced with a watermark of the floral emblem. This at least contains reference to all four countries, so that's definitely a nice addition, but so far this is also a tie. 2-4 points so far
Tumblr media
Next up on the old design we had to fill up two whole pages with translations. Completely superflous, we could have just used up the same space to allow for extra visas to be added to the passport. With the abolishment of the Freedom of Movement having two extra pages for visas is definitely a worthy addition, so 1 point extra for the blue passport. 2-5 so far.
(We also got rid of the map of London and Belfast. Who needs them)
Tumblr media
Page 8 and 9 shows John Harrison and his invention of the marine chronometer that revolutioned sea travel. On the other hand sea travel is dangerous and we just recently banned it, so it's good that this has been removed in favour of a much more stylized clock-like image. Note that it's hand aligns nicely with the page number, showing 8 and 9 respectively. This is definitely a nice touch, much more self-referential than the image of John Harrison, so a win to the blue one. 2-6 so far.
Tumblr media
On the old passport the next two pages show John Constable, someone who pursued a lesser career like painting instead of becoming a much more important member of society, like banker or a CEO. There is no need for this kind of vice in our society, so thank this has been removed.
On the new design you can see that the hand of the clock jumped to the 1 position, instead of pointing at 11 and 12 respectively! And it remained in the same position on both pages. This choice must have saved the artist designing the passport some work, so extra points for keeping the design cheap and affordable. 2-7 so far
Tumblr media
Next two pages show references to the Royal Mail including the iconic post box, and the first adhesive stamp, the Penny Black. On the other hand spending two pages on this archaic institution is just a waste of paper, especially as they do nothing just strike all the time nowadays.
On the new design? Look, there are now TWO HANDS on the clock! What a lovely addition, it definitely took me by surprise, 2-8 so far.
Tumblr media
Next up on the old one are trains, you know that things that are always late, if not cancelled. They are also expensive as hell compared to car ownership, so no need to promote them anymore.
Look a magical line of UNITED KINGDOM has appeared in the background. Hats off to yet another surprise change in design, 2-9!
Tumblr media
Next two pages feature Sir Giles and his architectural designs. Unfortunately for him he designed too many well known things and therefore now the page simply looks too cramped for the average viewer.
Unlike the new design, which is still clear, spacious and easy to understand. 2-10
Tumblr media
Next two pages feature the London Underground, which will definitely give PTSD to anyone who ever used it during peak hours. London was already featured in the passport with Greewinch and Battersea already anyway, while we haven't seen anything from Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland yet.
No such issue from the new passport, clean and clear with no surprises, and representation from all corners of the UK inside the watermark. 2-11 of course
Tumblr media
Architecture yet again, this time from a woman. Also England again, Triple boring.
Seall! The design on page 21 is the same as the one on page 12 albeit the colour difference. This duplication hopefully has yet again driven down the design costs! 2-12!
Tumblr media
Antony Gormley. Yet another useless artist who could have become something great during his lifeteime, like I don't know, a Conservative MP, but has chosen not to.
On the other hand we have yet another page where we have design reuse - with page 20 and 22, but this time the colours match as well! Must have been some great savings, 2-13
Tumblr media
Come on, didn't we have enough artists so far? And featuring one of the most hated artist of all time? And he is also an immigrant? Yuck!
Thank god we got rid of all of this perversion! 2-14
Tumblr media
Arts, Architecture, Shakespeare and London, all on the same page. Everything we have seen so far. Space could have been used for something much more important.
Like this nice and plain design we can see on the new passport. 2-15
Tumblr media
Edinburgh Castle? Bagpipes? Who allowed Scotland to be present in the design, we definitely need to fire them and never let them design passports anymore. Also the dragon on the corner looking at the girl like that? That is definitely sexual harassement, let's get rid of this carnality!
On the other hand we can see another clean and nice design, a perfect place to put your last remaining few visas before you need to get another one for £82.50 + shipping fees. 2-16
Tumblr media
Finally no more arts or achitecture but something useful: Computers! Internet! The stuff bankers use to do important stuff! No idea why they had to put a women on this page though, but let's just disregard that.
Watch that elements from new design can be seen on the computer screen in the old one. This must have been some great foreknowledge. Let's make this one a tie! 3-17
Tumblr media
Buildings? Again? And why so many? Ah, yeah we forgot to include Wales and Northern Ireland in the designs yet, so let's quickly sort them out, before the nationalists notice! Let's still make sure the London eye is centre and front, not to give them too much credit though.
The new one? Same old same old. You can see some art reuse on page 33 (vs page 30) as usual.
However since both designs feature all 4 countries, let's make this one a tie as well: 4-18
Tumblr media
Final page! Yet again, only Scotland and Northern Ireland above, but the whole of the UK on the new one. Blue one is a clear winner here: 4-19
Tumblr media
And finally the back page. Plain burgundy on the old one, a nice embossed floral design on the blue one. The winner is clear.
So this takes our total to 4-20! A clear and massive victory to the new passport, an exquisite masterpiece, perdectly designed and ideal to the new place of Global Britain in the world, far away from the woke dictatorship of the European Union, and the best Brexit dividend so far (apart from being able to buy cheep booze at airports again)

All you wanted to know about Obeah
Obeah is a religious activity premised on a fusion of various religions. It is an art form – in fact, it would be more appropriate to call it an art of "resistance". This activity is widespread in the Caribbean and African countries. Over there, people use "Obeah" to ward off evil entities and the negativity inflicted on people's lives. As such, this is a practice somewhat connected to spirituality. 
There are plenty of Obeah practitioners today who know the power that this particular practice possesses and hence come forward to help people. There are two paths to Obeah. 
The first path involves summoning supernatural entities, and the second involves using plants and animal products. 
Obeah practices around the world 
If you want to practice Obeah, it would imply that you learn how to control and channel negative energy and spiritual forces. It comprises a wide range of practices and beliefs. The main aim of this activity is the well-being of the intended beneficiaries and society in general. It is supposed to bring good fortune, protect people from negative energies, and prevent illnesses. However, at times, Obeah is used to harm people. 
During the period when slavery was legal, Europeans practiced it for positive reasons. In the colonial era, this practice helped minimize the adverse effects of negativity in one's life.
The meaning of Obeah 
The word Obeah derived from an African term with a strong and significant meaning. There are many ways the meaning of the word "Obeah" could be perceived. Still today, in some parts of Africa, it is referred to as Obey. Some people practice this as a source of strength. In other cases, people practice it to harm others by summoning supernatural forces. History says that this particular practice originated in Africa. No matter what he does – bad or good – the Obeah man is always treated with respect.
The rituals of Obeah
Obeah is a spiritual practice often sought when someone wants to remove negative energy, especially when they feel stuck in witchcraft practices, and to remove the curse. As we have said already, this ritual is beneficial to remove negative energy from one’s life. As such, it can deal with negative forces such as jinn, Voodoo, black magic, and evil spirit. 
There are many instances when you may feel nothing is going well in your life and strange things are happening repeatedly thus affecting your life. This is when you can consider a consultation with an Obeah man. An Obeah man can play a central role in the life of any individual surrounded by evil and supernatural effects. You can be sure that no matter what, an Obeah man will always help you come out free from the spells inflicted by any other people or person to cause harm.
How can an Obeah man help you?
There are so many services that Exuma the Obeah Man can provide as enumerated below:
Obeah removal
witchcraft removal
curse removal
negative energy remedy
jinn removal
Voodoo removal
evil spirit removal
black magic remedy 
 Obeah rituals are followed extensively in Caribbean countries such as Jamaica and other African countries for centuries. It also includes casting love spells and other magic apart from what we have said here. These practitioners are efficient and can provide a permanent remedy for all kinds of Obeah evils. 
 Conclusion
Apart from the regions that we have mentioned so far, Obeah is even practiced in the USA (United States of America), the UK (United Kingdom), Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Some so many people have had such good things to say about the positive way in which they have been affected by Obeah. Some people say that Obeah has helped them turn around the bad luck in their lives and the financial problems they were facing.
