Marauders quotes as conversations I’ve had

Sirius: *Incoherent mumbling in French*

Remus: What??

Regulus: He’s basically saying fuck you in French

Remus: *Turns to Sirius* Well, fuck you- in English!

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende Review

Dates Read: January 8 —January 10, 2025

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Genre: Fantasy

2025 Reading Goal: 4/100

My book club decided to read this book because some of us recalled being traumatized by the horse scene in the movie as a child (iykyk) but did not remember much else about the story. I’ve never really been a fantasy reader, but wow I have not been this engrossed in a fantasy story since I read Harry Potter as a child. The Neverending Story is a masterfully crafted hero’s journey tale that features a large cast of interesting mythical creatures but manages to not get confusing and hard to follow. I was also very impressed with the intelligent (and at times, dark) themes that are presented in a way that is suitable for all ages. I will say that the first and second halves of the book have very different tones, with the second half taking a darker turn. They almost feel like two separate books (the 1984 film adaptation only follows the first half of the book). I have seen conflicting opinions on the second half, but I thought the route it took made the book very fascinating and provides the reader with a lot to think about. Overall, this was such a fun read.

Oh yes I love Pörsi Jäkson, Ännabäf Tschäjs, Häjsel Levesk, Kätnis Erverdien, Häri Potter (also known as Harald Töpfer), Stefan Gränt, Änäkin Skeiwolker and Billi Bätsen, why?

can someone draw regulus, in a oversized hoodie, drinking a juice box, with Sirius as Padfoot next to him sitting and getting stroked on the head by him?

I had this epiphany over breakfast. So Gellert Grindelwald is German, right?

But like what region? Is it the middle of nowhere Sachsen, maybe out of left field Saarland or from up north Schleswig Holstein?

My personal fave is Bayern.

Imagine him strutting up all important to Dumbledore and then breaks off for a cursing session in Bairisch, thick accent and all.

To the point where even his German followers have a problem keeping up with what the fuck he's talking about.

On another note for the German people: imagine Grindelwald but Markus Söder style

Goodest Gryffindor boy.

I’m not sure who this will reach or if it’ll help at all but I’m trying everything I can think of to get the word out. I’m also putting my faith in the kindness of strangers because I’ve seen how kind they can be. Please share this if you’re able to, every dollar and share helps. He’s my best friend and the only thing that’s kept me sane and happy since being on my own. I’m trying to do as much as I can to afford this surgery. I’m selling off almost my entire library of beloved books that mean close to nothing to me in comparison to my dog. I’m selling clothes, furniture, took on a second job and am babysitting when I can squeeze it in while also trying to be home with him so he’s not alone and scared while we wait for his surgery. So please, share this if you can. If you can spare even a dollar or two, I would forever be grateful. Thank you 🩷

Two days ago I remembered Krabat existed and now I remember how this book had me hooked as a teen in school. The story just sucks you in and I remember being amazed, enchanted and horrified at the same time. I'm amazed that a book like this exists. The analysis options are seemingly endless. There's so much symbolism to umpack. And Wikipedia said Otfried Preußler was processing his time in the Hitler Youth in Krabat and every word I'm thinking how and where? Like what does the magic stand for? What is Lyschko's role and meaning as a snitch ? What's with the war against sweden? Also it's only men in this story and I'm thinking about how that is also important somehow? It's almost like a fraternity kind of situation, with all the rituals involved and I never thought about this but working in manual labor kinda does this to you? Also the dualism between women only communities and men only communities and the dualism between christianity and black magic? Also thinking about work and work communities, the themes of fair work conditions, but also how working closely together can give you a sense of belonging...also the benefits and detriments of strict hierarchy in work communities/organizations. As a person who worked in a kitchen as an apprentice in the hundreds year old german apprenticeship system I appreciate the vague villinification of the boss and the weird emotional dynamics at play. Also how his trauma with the death of his friend resulted in pain and suffering for his apprentices? This book can be interpreted in a socialist way and in a non socialist way, it has so much to say about morals, culture, colonialism, society etc. It has so much to say about emotions, relationship and life, how to handle emotions as a man in a men only setting and how NOT to. It's just not brainy at all you just kinda get it? And it's literally just the german Harry Potter??? And I don't understand why just because of it's simple writing we only read it once in seventh grade and not later because the analysis options are fruitful and endless. I'm literally so impressed by the depth and sheer viceral quality of this book.
