Reading Journal #6
Hey, guys! I’ve been mulling over that crtypid reading we had a few weeks ago! I thought it was really interesting, cryptids and conspiracies are my two greatest loves. Cryptids In the Harry Potter-verse Would there be room for cryptids in the Wizarding World? I don’t believe so. As we see with Newt Scamander in […]
Reading Journal #6 Draft
Harry Potter and the Selfish Pseudospirituals I stumbled onto a quote from Jerry Bowyer while looking into the occult controversy surrounding the HP books.

Re-Mix Ideas

Remix Idea
