I've read all the books. I was still a kid when they came out. I've seen the movies 2-3 times each. The Mrs is also a fan. We've seen/read the spinoffs. Point is, I thought I qualified as a fan, but I haven't a hope of solving these.
I agree, the category should be more broad. I would say Harry Potter is big enough in itself and well enough recognised in pop culture to count as a theme, even if not every one has read it.

I only mentioned the specifications of the spells yesterday to show my intended theme, I didn't mean to set the week's theme to them. Besides as I said yesterday any of the spells could be used from books to, HP and FB movies, HP games, even the notorious cursed child (such a disappointment BTW!).

Yes, you are! I'm British and am far more familiar with the (infinitely more literate) works of Dr. Seuss.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told musefan.
Quote: This is very bad... you should read Harry Potter. Anyone who asks me for book recommendation (or doesn't) gets recomended Harry Potter. After that The Secret Adversary from Agatha Christie, I could go on, but you get the gist!

I did try to read the first Potter but I couldn't get on with it. I liked many of the ideas but just couldn't get on with her prose style. It's quite rare that I don't finish a book, but I abandoned it about a third of the way through.
I did read all of Agatha Christie's output many, many years ago and was quite fond of them at the time.
My own literary recommendation to anyone would be Wodehouse with a side of Wodehouse, washed down with an extra splash of Wodehouse.

The whole hype about ML/AI made me realize again what an incredible thing a human being is.

What happened to the times when we enjoyed being idiots and script kiddies ourselves?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Did you ever win any of them? Or did it just get more acrimonious until someone just stopped responding?

There may have been times when I was (am?) an idiot, but never a script kiddie!

I never was a script kiddie in the narrow sense. They were not invented yet. But what do you think the guys at the first newly opened computer stores thought when some kid walked in and told them to throw away their BASIC and get a good assembler.

When I was a young idiot I had no chance to hide behind anonymity - embarrassment was public and face-to-face...
Now, that I'm an old idiot I behave myself (probably because of the experience)...
