Hufflepuff is definitely the house that would be most distressed by J K Rowling’s behaviour on social media these days. It truly is the noblest of the houses.

The King abandons the traditional Balmoral summer for a pleasure cruise of the Balkans. The world media goes crazy for pictures of the King and Mrs Simpson. The pressure begins to get too much for Wallis.

The Twelve is an interesting event because it is 90% absolute nonsense, and then like 80% of the way through, Cable #76 shows up and sledgehammers you straight in the feels, and the event doesn't STOP being nonsense, but it starts feeling like nonsense with stakes.

Richard III and Henry VII were both ruthless. But we don’t get the impression that they enjoyed spilling blood.
But Richard II and Henry VIII seemed to enjoy striking out at enemies, masterminding plans to maximise humiliation.
That’s the difference between ruthless and cruel

Language matters.
Today we’re talking about a close relative of James Tyrell’s possessing an object of Edward V’s.
When we say it belonged to Tyrell’s brother-in-law it raises eye brows.
When we say it belonged to Tyrell’s wife’s sister’s husband, it all sounds quite remote
