Mmh, fair point ... I'm still sticking to spells, I believe in the flexibility of language.

Definitely the wizard. Spells can be used in a variety of ways, while with the force its JUST a matter of mental strength.

No idea ... maybe J.K. got inspired by it somehow? ;)

youth language is turning weirded every year

I would add that curses in society also often point to bigger problems/issues in society. For example, in Germany, people say shit all the time (and fuck only rarely), maybe because people here have a kind of neurotic relationship to cleaning and stuff. In great brittan its bloody bastard I think, in america its fuck.

Same :)

Mad eye moody is adorable :D

Then Dumbledores were pretty laid back :)

Thanks for keeping the community active in the meantime btw

Yeah, was it really that long ...? Oops. Glad to be back.

(I did check in once in a while to see that no one set up some death eaters ring or something ;))

And then showed him that you cannot buy a single car there but million of rubber ducks ...

Dark reading but fair point. I mean yeah, the fact that the goblins hold a money monolopy in the first place is really weird.

Apparantly in the books, wizards shy away from banking because of the bad image and so no one except goblins wants to do it, so a bad societal dynamic is hinted there. But then again, goblins ARE depicted as greedy and evil.
