The Planet’s magical effects on Earth
When some planets of our solar system appear on Earth, they predict something, or have a magical effect on something. In this article we are going to see what they mean. Remember that the brighter a planet appears in the sky, the stronger it’s magic is. This is very useful for both divination, and magical astronomy. If two or more planets appear in the same time in the sky, that means their effects are combined. Here are the planets magical effects on Earth!
Mercury, is the planet of problem solving, sudden creativity, and inspiration.
Venus, foretells the importance of emotions. Every emotion. It also foretells the importance of meditation and tries to center your thoughts.
Mars represents danger, battle, and blood. When it appears in the sky it foretells battle, powerful wills, and stubbornness.
Jupiter foretells the appearance of unstoppable forces. Like a pandemic.
Saturn represents, slow very thoughtful consideration, perspective, and empathy.
Uranus means the opposite of Saturn. It means importance of individual thoughts, like what is best for you rather than others. It also means a change, usually in thought, but it can be in action as well.
Neptune makes stronger the divinatory abilities. It means sacrifice. But not a sacrifice like letting your friend use your favorite pen, life changing sacrifice.
Pluto means cycles. Life cycles or things that are going to repeat itself.
When you see what the planets foretell, you can use that to your advantage. Like you could start a story you’ve been wanting to do, when Mercury appears, since Mercury represents sudden creativity, and inspiration. However, don’t expect the planets, to solve every problem you have.
I hope you liked this little introduction to the planets magical effect on the Earth!

My tribute to Remus Lupin
Remus Lupin was one of few who was a fatherhood image for Harry. But who was he?
Remus Lupin was the first werewolf to come to Hogwarts. He was bitten by Fenrir Greyback, another werewolf, so he became one himself. To come to Hogwarts he had to have some special circumstances. Whenever he turned into a werewolf on the full moon he would go to the Shrieking Shack alone, that is however until his friends found out and went with him in an Animagus form. His friends were called the Marauders.
As time grew on none of the Marauders were left. Voldemort killed James Potter, Bellatrix killed Sirious Black,, Peter Pettigrew committed suicide, and he was the last one alive. Eventually, he died at the battle of Hogwarts by Antonin Dolohov along with his wife, meaning that their son was about to become an orphan.
Every year on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts JK Rowling tweets about how sorry she is for killing someone. This is what she wrote for Lupin. Once again, it's the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts so, as promised, I shall apologise for a death. This year: Remus Lupin.
“Lupin especially holds a place in our hearts as he was Harry’s DADA Professor in the Prisoner of Azkaban. He taught him how to cast a Patronus, and overall was really nice. In the Half-Blood Prince when Bellatrix comes to the Burrow, Remus shouts "Harry! No!" and attempts to run after him. He had a place in his heart for Harry, so we have a place in our heart for him.”

Grindyllows
Grindylows are small water demons. If you want to find one, which I do not recommend, go to some of the weed beds in the lakes of Great Britain and Ireland. These beasts (XX, as classified by the Ministry), are aggressive to wizards, witches, and muggles alike, and have only been successfully tamed by merpeople. They tend to feast on fish and algae, but if they have the chance they will eat a human. Their skin is a sickly green color, with small horns on the skull. Average adult grindylows will grow to be up to five feet in length. They use their strong hands to grip prey. If you ever find yourself in this situation, like young Harry Potter during the second Triwizard Tournament task, the Revulsion Jinx is the best way to escape.

Recipe: Explosive Lemonade
This was a recipe that I learned to make at a Harry Potter annual event in my country and that made me fall in love with it. It is super easy and almost anyone can do it at home! I hope you also love it!
Ingredients:
Lemons
Ginger
Water
Sugar
Ice
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Squeeze the juice out of the lemons into a small recipient (I usually use 2 lemons, but you can add more or less according to the size of the lemons and your taste for normal lemonade).
2. Strain the lemon juice and pass it into a big jar.
3. Remove the ginger peel (I usually use a ginger bit of about 5 centimeters, because, if we add more, it can have a very strong taste).
4. Slice the ginger into very small pieces (the smaller, the better, and the quicker you will get your lemonade done).
5. Put the sliced ginger into the jar and mix it with the lemon juice.
6. Add water and sugar (according to your taste, but not very much sugar, not only it will be bad for you, but it will also taste bad with the ginger).
7. Mix the Explosive Lemonade and add ice (the ginger taste is better with ice, I don’t know why, but trust me in this one ;-) .
8. Strain the drink before serving it (so the ginger pieces won’t go into one of the cups and give a big unpleasant surprise to your friends and family).

The Biography of Ginny Weasley-Potter
Ginevra Molly Weasley, also known as Ginny Weasley, is the youngest sibling of the seven Weasley brothers and only daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley. She is a pure-blood witch and she was born on the 11th of August, 1981. She grew up in the Burrow, the famous Weasley home, and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1992 to 1999, where she was sorted into Gryffindor house. She has flaming red hair, like most of the Weasley family and a freckled complexion.
While at Hogwarts, she had an incident that led to her almost dying in the Chamber of Secrets. After that, she was part of Dumbledore’s Army and participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, and the Battle of Hogwarts. She also was a very good Quidditch player and usually played as chaser and occasionally as seeker. Since, she first met Harry Potter, her brother’s friend, she had a crush on him, but since he didn’t like her back, she started dating other boys, like Michael Corner and Dean Thomas. She ended up dating Harry in her fifth year.
After the Battle of Hogwarts, she married Harry and became a member of the Holly Harpies Quidditch team. She and Harry had three children, James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna. After her Quidditch career, she worked for the sports section of the Daily Prophet newspaper.
She is an incredible and courageous girl, that is impossible to describe in only one article. So for those who are interested in getting to know this red-haired fierce Weasley, please go see the source of this article!

Fun Fact
Ever wondered why James hated Snape??
James Potter always suspected that Snape loved Lily, and it was one of the reasons for his behaviour towards Snape. If Snape hadn’t been so interested in the Dark Arts, Lily probably would have ended up marrying him instead of James.
Kinda tough to imagine, that Snape may have been Harry’s father, but Lily was destined for James!
Hope you all enjoyed today’s issue!
