Power ranking my childhood Halloween costumes

Aidan O'Malley | Thursday, October 15, 2020

Dessi Gomez | Friday, April 17, 2020

I hope you all are doing well in quarantine, and for all you Potterheads out there, now is the chance. I hope you take advantage of this downtime to refresh your memory of the beloved wizarding world with a well-deserved movie marathon — or, even better — a complete reread of the entire series J.K.

Course explores medievalism, Harry Potter

Anna Hurt | Tuesday, February 18, 2020

When Susan Ohmer, professor of film and television, was approached about teaching a new course titled “Harry Potter, Medievalism and Transmedia Narratives,” she said “it didn’t take me more than five seconds to think about it before I said ‘yes.’” The class, which focuses on author J.K. Rowling’s popular fantasy book series and subsequent film

The quad

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, February 5, 2020

Basically, I live in a quad in Le Mans Hall with my three best friends. They are all very involved with The Observer, and we have their best articles and inside columns pinned up on our door. Unfortunately, the only thing I have is a photo poll I was asked to be in. While I

A magical tradition

Courtney Becker | Monday, August 28, 2017

For the past 10 years I’ve had the same summer tradition. Every year, as soon as July rolls around, I pick up “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” and make my way steadily through the seven books that still amaze me even after reading them so many times. It all started in 2007, when I

Rowling takes us back with a contemporary perspective

Erin McAuliffe | Thursday, December 1, 2016

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” begins with a scan of The Daily Prophet and articles that warn of a “dark wizard terror threat,” setting the film’s tone of fear mongering, bigotry and social unrest in a darkly detailed 1920s New York City that poignantly translates to today’s climate. The film is a continuation

Why you should write

Erin Thomassen | Thursday, August 25, 2016

Many students at Notre Dame can hold a conversation—a long conversation. If you have any doubt, steal a booth in the O’Shag café. Perch on a bench in Debart. Open the doors of the dining hall at 6 p.m., and you will be bombarded with crisscrossing sound waves, originating from the voice boxes of your

Summer reading

Catherine Owers | Tuesday, April 26, 2016

  Finding a copy of Tana French’s first novel on the bottom shelf of my library’s fiction collection was one of the best days of summer. So I’m eagerly anticipating the sixth book in her “Dublin Murder Squad” series, due out in November. Until then, I’ll have to content myself with other titles. For many

Wizard or Jedi?

Megan Uekert | Friday, February 19, 2016

When I was a young child, I fell deeply in love with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, just like many children in my generation. I read every single book thrice and counted down the days until the next movie premiere. I would wish for poor eyesight so I would need glasses, and sometimes I
