OBSESSED with harper and daphne (who cares if daphne didn’t vote she probably would’ve voted red anyway so if you really think about it she did society a favor)
Daphne mayyyyyy be talking about The White Lotus, but we know she’d also feel much the same about Beads of Paradise! I’ve heard a lot of people kvetch about having to leave earlier than they’d like, when they have to get to an appointment or meeting, because there’s SO much to see and explore in our little slice of Paradise. It’s like a little vacation in the city, so planes required, and certainly worth a visit if you’re here in NYC on your own trip from upstate, out of state, or abroad!
La vida no es tan dulce como parece… “The White Lotus · Temporada 2”
La sátira de esta temporada se desarrolla en un resort siciliano y sigue las hazañas de varios huéspedes y empleados a lo largo de una semana.
· Estreno: 30 de octubre de 2022 en HBO y HBO Max.

Ah, the Universal Monsters! Who doesn’t want to sit down with the classic Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man on any given Saturday afternoon? Many Monster Kids consider this episode’s film, House of Dracula (1945), the canonical end of the famous monsters’ original cinematic run; however, others will continue to include Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein (1948) into the mix, happily! Either way, director Erle C. Kenton’s third film featuring the Monster of Frankenstein is a fun, enjoyable romp regardless of how silly and overly convenient the plot remains. Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine, and Glenn Strange all return as the Wolf Man, Count Dracula, and Frankenstein’s Monster respectively, each providing the best performances possible given the circumstances. Onslow Stevens, along with co-stars Martha O’Driscoll and Jane Adams, wonderfully provide the strands that hold the storylines together. Throw in Lionel Atwill for good measure and it’s a tried-and-true Universal Monster “house” feature. Grab your popcorn and large soda and join the Grue-Crew as they catch up with the shenanigans.
At the time of this writing, House of Dracula is available to stream from the Classic Sci-Fi Movie Channel, the Classic Horror Movie Channel, and the Wicked Horror TV Channel, as well as a variety of PPV sites. In terms of physical media, the film is available in Blu-ray format as part of Dracula: Complete Legacy Collection, Frankenstein: Complete Legacy Collection, The Wolf Man: Complete Legacy Collection, and Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection.

To each of you from each of them, “Thank you so much for watching and listening!”
On behalf of the entire Witch Weekly family, and all of the Witch Weekly subsidiaries, we would like to apologize to the families of Fred Weasley and Cedric Diggory for the implications written by Ms. Patil in her last column. Please let it be known that Ms. Patil has been suspended without pay for the week and will be contacting you directly with her apologies.
In the meantime, her column will be taken over by our staff Sports Editor, Amanda Brocklehurst.
Again, our sincerest apologies.
Eugenia Corningstone
Editor in Chief
Witch Weekly
Apologies in advance to all of Parv’s loyal readers. For those of you who aren’t familiar with me, I’m the one you all send those howlers to for writing too much about quidditch in a magazine that should be about ‘fashion and gossip and nothing else!’. I sympathize, really, but Quidditch Weekly isn’t hiring at the moment, so you’ll have to forgive me for taking what I can get. At the very least, most of the gossip Parvati was set to print this week has a little to do with quidditch. Apparently our lovely publication, as well as some others, found it fit to send recording mosquitos to a remote cabin owned by Pansy Parkinson’s family to spy on an unofficial Slytherin House reunion where more than a few famous faces were present.
Let’s talk about Marcus Flint, world champion chaser for the Falmouth Falcons, and how he seemed a bit all over the place. I’m no Falcons fan (nor am I a Flint fan like the author of this column, so I have no problem telling you all most of the footage we received back showed that Flint was quite inebriated for the duration of the weekend), but if I was, I’d be a little worried about how much time he was spending with the new owner of the Wimbourne Wasps, Draco Malfoy, who quietly took control of the organization last Tuesday when longtime owner Patrick Babcock passed away in his sleep. Could this mean a future career change for Flint? He does seem to have a penchant for going wherever the Malfoy money takes him, after all.
I’m told I should also be telling you that Flint was seen flying naked after Daphne Greengrass, who was rumored to have been rekindling a relationship with ex-Hogwarts sweetheart and current star Puddlemere United Chaser Blaise Zabini. No word yet on how Zabini’s current assumed love interest, Harpies’ beater Millicent Bulstrode is taking it, but if you ask me, all of this gossip is bullshite and people reading far too much into friends just having genuine fun together. So what if Bulstrode was seen alone in the hot tub with former Falcons teammate Adrian Pucey one day and rumored to have been rolling around the forest with Zabini by night? They could have been sharing intimate details about mutual friend Theodore Nott, who, if you’ve been keeping up with Parv’s column, became boner buddies with Pucey during a particularly raunchy group hot tub game after watching Pansy Parkinson and Astoria Greengrass kiss.
Again, all of this is speculation. For all we know, Pansy could have been giving poor Astoria mouth to mouth. Temperatures were hot last weekend, and more than a few of our bugs reported Astoria fainting from likely dehydration. It seemed like most people in attendance tried to help her, but the youngest Greengrass chose Greg Goyle to be her knight in shining armor. Kind of makes you wonder why she was sleeping in a hammock with Draco Malfoy the next night, right? Honestly, I don’t care who the girl sleeps with, but Astoria, if you read this, please message me and let me know where you got that kayak!
Moving on from other people’s private vacations, it seems like my coworker’s twin, Padma Patil is behind the recent effort to get the book The Boy Who Lived to Love: Inter-House Relations, the fourth installment in the famous Boy Who Lived to Love series, off shelves.
We asked series author Maven Aildor for her take and have it exclusively for you:
“...while it does hurt that a former schoolmate, whose sister I consider a dear friend, would want to stifle my creativity like this, I do understand how the character of Ted McGorry coming back as a ghost to watch Gary **** his girlfriend could be very upsetting to those who knew the person Ted is…modeled… after, therefore, I’ve decided that I’ll be temporarily pulling that book from the shelves and replacing Ted’s character with a different one that nobody living has a direct connection to…”
This, I’m told, is in reference to a character modeled after former Hogwarts student and Triwizard Champion Cedric Diggory, depicted in the book as a “supernatural voyeur” without the consent of his estate.
Are you people insane? You pay money for these things? Congratulations Padma, though I’m judging you for even knowing what these books are in the first place.
Wizarding world savior Hermione Granger was spotted on a date with a mystery man in muggle Liverpool once again, but this time it was a different man. Not sure why this is news, but apparently it’s what you’d all love to read about.
The only other thing we have in the inbox aside from some questions for Parvati to answer is a notice that Cassius Warrington has been released from Azkaban and was seen in Diagon Alley getting ice cream with Millicent Bulstrode recently. Not sure why that’s relevant, but Bulstrode, maybe spend more time on the pitch instead of playing the field, yeah?

It was then that Babcock became aware, though not for the first time—he had known a momentary queasiness within the Ecce Homo Convent—that all was far from well with his own inside. A sharp pain gripped him, passed, then gripped him again. He began to sweat. He looked to right and left, but there was no means of extricating himself from the pilgrims who surrounded him. The chanting continued, the door of the church was before him, and despite his efforts to turn and go back the priests barred his way. He must go on and into the church, there was no other way.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre enveloped him. He was aware of darkness, scaffolding, steps, the smell of many bodies and much incense. What can I do, he asked himself in agony, where can I go, the lingering taste of last night's chicken ragout rising from his belly to confound him, and as he stumbled up the steps to the Chapel of Golgotha in the wake of the nuns, with altars to right and left of him, candles, lights, crosses, votive offerings in profusion all about him, he saw nothing, heard nothing, he could only feel the pressure within his body, the compelling summons of his bowels, which no prayer, no will-power, no divine mercy from on high could overcome.
