Luna Lovegood is a Ravenclaw student in Ginny's year, and on great terms with most of the Gryffindor protagonists – though she often butts heads with Hermione. Luna isn't a prodigy student, but she does have some talents of her own.

10.Luna Lovegood Could Make Corporeal Patronus

Ginny Weasley is the sole daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley. At first, she was a terribly shy and unassertive witch until she learned to stand up for herself. Ginny's skills shone by the time she was a fourth-year student. According to Fred and George, she can cast a mean Bat-Bogey hex. Overall, Ginny is a highly capable young witch who fears no enemy, and like her friend Luna, she gladly joined Dumbledore's Army to help take the fight to evil. She can also cast a corporeal Patronus shaped like a horse.

9.Ginny Weasley Cast The Bat-Bogey Hex

Fleur is clearly an ace student from France's top magical school, since only the very best witches and wizards can earn a spot in this legendary tournament. Not much else is known of her magic, but she seems quite good at Charms to say the least. She put a dragon to sleep with ease.

8.Fleur Delacour Represented Beauxbatons In The Triwizard 

Molly didn't often get into fights during the story, nor did she seem very fond of violence anyway. But if she must, she will roll up her sleeves and cast whatever magic she must to protect her children from <a href="https://www.cbr.com/voldemort-most-dangerous-death-eaters-ranked/">the vicious Death Eaters </a>. Molly also has extensive knowledge of domestic magic, and keeps her house clean despite her children's antics.

7.Molly Weasley Took Down Bellatrix

Hermione Jean Granger is part of the legendary trio. She, Harry and Ron became friends after they survived a few brushes with death in their first year at Hogwarts. From the very start, Hermione solidified herself a brilliant and talented witch, proving every prejudiced wizard wrong about Muggleborns. RELATED: Hermione can learn and master new spells with unusual speed, and often casts spells several years above her level. She isn't as fond of dueling as Harry and Ron, but she is highly capable in a fight and surprises everyone with her unusually advanced techniques.

6.Hermione Granger Has Exceptional Talent

Umbridge isn't an especially powerful witch, but as a grown woman with years of training, there's no doubt that her magic can outclass that of any student, and she even considered casting the Cruciatus Curse on Harry. Not just anyone can cast the Unforgivable Curses like that.

5.Dolores Umbridge Is A Merciless Teacher

Nymphadora Tonks <a href="https://www.cbr.com/anime-shapeshifters-strongest-most-powerful-ranked/">has some shapeshifter talents </a>and can modify her face and hair at will, such as giving herself a pig snout for fun or changing her hair color to match her mood. When she first appeared, Tonks was a playful but brave witch who was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Only the toughest and smartest wizards can join the Order, which says a lot about Tonks' capabilities. She can cast a corporeal Patronus, but <a href="https://www.cbr.com/saddest-deaths-in-harry-potter/">after Sirius' tragic death </a>, Tonks' Patronus became weaker. At least, Snape thought so.

4.Nymphadora Tonks Has Unusual Talents

Draco Malfoy's parents are powerful and influential wizards who have both aided Voldemort's cause, with Lucius being a Ministry official and a hooded Death Eater. His wife Narcissa plays a more peripheral role, but is no less powerful than Lucius. She is vain, proud, and can back it up with her magic.<a href="https://www.cbr.com/harry-potter-strongest-dark-spells/">Narcissa has practiced Dark Arts </a>and is a powerful duelist, easily on par with most Death Eaters as well as an expert at Apparition. Notably, <a href="https://www.cbr.com/power-of-love-saved-the-day-anime/">she also has the power of love </a> – the most potent kind of magic – making her oddly similar to the late Lily Potter.

3.Narcissa Malfoy Is A Proud Pureblood

Minerva McGonagall is the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts and has <a href="https://www.cbr.com/anime-teachers-best-strong-strongest/">a well-earned reputation for being stern but fair </a>. She is highly protective of her students just like Dumbledore, and will gladly fight any Death Eater, monster, or criminal who threatens the peace at Hogwarts. McGonagall is easily one of the most powerful magic users in Harry Potter , a devastatingly powerful duelist who even took on Voldemort himself during the Battle of Hogwarts. The most complex and difficult spells are easy for her, and she's even tougher than she looks.

2.Minerva McGonagall Is A Master-Class Witch

Bellatrix Lestrange is an overwhelmingly powerful witch who – unlike her younger sister Narcissa – is fanatically loyal to Voldemort and his cause. She's a supremely powerful Death Eater, even in the company of Lucius Malfoy, Augustus Rookwood and Antonin Dolohov. Bellatrix can cast the most potent dueling spells with ease, to the point she can duel multiple Order of the Phoenix members and treat it like a game. She terrorized the wizarding world nonstop until Molly Weasley finally dispatched her in the Battle of Hogwarts.

The Walking Dead has taught us that it's not easy to survive in an undead wasteland. The last couple of years has shown us that a zombie apocalypse is perhaps not that far-fetched. Real survival experts and experienced preppers can give us tips for surviving a doomsday scenario.

Learning from The Walking Dead

John Ramey, the founder of survivalist company The Prepared, doesn't recommend putting your money into a bunker. Instead, we should focus on making our existing homes and communities more resilient. Your home is your castle. It's your base for any emergency. If you had to lock yourself in your home right now, no water, no gas, no electricity or communication, how long can you live there? It should be two weeks at a minimum because that covers most emergencies like natural disasters.

Surviving an emergency

Basic supplies include food, water, health, communication, first aid supplies, hygiene supplies. You need a gallon of water per person per day and filtering products to make water safe to drink. Keep a 'bug out bag'. It is a bag of essential supplies you can grab when you need to leave the safety of your home. It should contain a lighter or waterproof matches, an emergency blanket, sleeping bag, freeze-dried food, flashlight, batteries, solar radio, water purifier, camping stove, knife, gun and medical kit. A bicycle is a classic bug-out vehicle.

Be well stocked with basic supplies

You will need first aid and a core medical understanding of cleaning and dressing a wound. For example, if Daryl from The Walking Dead gets hit in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt, how will you handle it? Outdoor survival skills are also essential. Can you read a map and start a fire? Do you know how to create a winter shelter? Do you pay attention to what's going on around you or how to diffuse tense situations?

Skills to use your supplies

At some point, you may be forced to leave the house and find shelter elsewhere. Would you know where to go? If a zombie apocalypse happens, you will need community as community wins most of the time compared to being alone. We are not machines. We get sick, we need to sleep, we can't learn every skill we'll need through every calamity. Knowing someone that can help can save the day.

We need community

How you deal with zombies depend on what kind you meet. If you get into a confrontation with a slow one, just move around them. But if you meet a fast-mover, you know there is more. So you have to turn to stealth. Move in the shadows, underground, in any way to avoid them. Make use of dogs, who can sense threats or major changes and warn you in advance. For example, something is up if they start to act strange, growl, show their teeth, or pace a lot.

How to deal with zombies

Survival experts and professional preppers give their tips on how to survive a zombie invasion.

After Life, on Netflix, tells the story of Tony, a man who lost his wife to breast cancer. It juxtaposes his immense grief with his bright and witty humour. There are some valuable lessons to learn from it...

After Life Thoughts

Happiness is amazing. It's so amazing, it doesn't matter if it's yours or not.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

We're not just here for us. We're here for others. All we've goth is each other. We've got to help each other struggle through till we die and then we're done.

Even though I'm in pain, it's worth sticking around to maybe make my little corner of the world a slightly better place.

I think the beauty of the show lies in the lessons it tries to teach you. We learn through Tony that although life might be a rats' nest of misery, we can still help others. We can strive to do our bit, for the simple reason that others feel better because of it, and that feeling alone is powerful.

It's not just about you

Tony suffers so much, and is sarcastic almost always. However, it's really this that allows him to connect with people. He's not just using humour as a shield to deflect any emotions. In the beginning he is, but we start seeing how humour can be used to cope, to actually deal with our issues. It gives us a different way to view the world, one not only tainted by malevolence and pain. It is so simple, yet so joyous to watch Tony share a laugh about something that actually hurts him so much.

Humour is pure

After watching After Life S1 on Netflix, I was just blown back at how deeply it affected me. The show switches between being a full-on makes-me-want-to-cry show and the best comedy show. It has a wonderful cast of characters, with events that either try to teach us a lesson or make us genuinely burst out laughing. Felt I had to share some of the joy and value I got from the show. 

Struggling to come to terms with his wife's death, a writer for a newspaper adopts a gruff new persona in an effort to push away those trying to help. Watch trailers & learn more.

Each of us contemplates the long-term future of our species at some point. Will we survive self-destruction? Will we migrate to the stars? Both as individuals and as a society, we typically call on imagination to ponder the big questions. Whether we choose to look 10 or 1,000 years into the future, we often seek the help of the science fiction artists, writers, filmmakers, and TV producers who can help us understand our place within the universe.

Visions of tomorrow inform the present and can inspire progress both socially and technologically. Astronauts like Mae Jemison and aerospace engineers like Bobak Ferdowsi and Elon Musk all speak of science fiction as a guiding influence for their careers. More significantly, science fiction can inspire everyday people to engage in visionary, long-term thinking.

If we are invested in a better future, we will be motivated to adapt and solve the problems we face now. Whether the future is portrayed as bright or dim, science fiction can coax us to think creatively by letting us leapfrog to the distant future where we may glimpse what radical change could look like.

A Different Perspective

These stories often imply that we will survive as a species and overcome our challenges; but there are also many counter narratives warning that even though we may progress as a society, dangers abound. Cautionary tales like The Terminator, Mad Max, or Alien can therefore be as illuminating as more optimistic stories such as Interstellar, E.T., Contact, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

A multi-generational perspective that is scaled to encompass interplanetary habitation enlarges our understanding of our context within the universe and discourages shortsighted actions. These kinds of broader views prioritize aspirations like peaceful coexistence and conservation.

The ability to transport people into the distant future also has inspirational value: Even though we currently lack the technical or social capacity to reach our goals, the vision of an eventual breakthrough breeds optimism and builds resolve. In an age of scientific reasoning and logic, people still seek hope and connection.

Connection and Hope

By providing imaginative ways to participate in events beyond our lifetimes, visions of the future can serve as beacons of faith and moral bearings for how we live today. Portrayals of a better tomorrow can also inspire actions that contribute to something greater than ourselves; when we emotionally invest in mythic ideas about the future, we feel empowered to actualize them. That sense of empowerment fuels purpose and fosters global communion with the rest of humanity. By taking a visionary stance, we can help equip our descendants for success.

Anything that helps people conceptualize the future, think beyond the present, and relate to characters with diverse identities is positive. Many classic space adventures aren’t centered around specific references to science, but they still provide imaginative glimpses of possibilities beyond today’s scientific reach. Sagas like Dune, Star Wars, and The Fifth Element portray a vast universe full of diverse worlds and extraterrestrial beings, and therefore offer powerful perspectives on humanity’s evolutionary course.

Moving forward, science fiction should be elevated to an academic level and recognized as more than a hobby or a fantastical escape. Where pure science can be difficult for some people to process, creative projections can make scientific theories more accessible to the general public, especially when communicated visually. In addition to inspiring scientists, engineers, and astronauts—as well as supporting STEM education—science fiction has the capacity to fuel the creative impulses of all kinds of people, including architects, designers, and politicians.

A Tool for Education

Carrying the torch for these visions of progress and sharing them with others can provide a sense of purpose in itself. I may not colonize another planet or develop technology that contributes to the goal, but by helping to cultivate the dream, I increase the possibility that others will find a way to get there eventually. And by this, I don’t just mean technological progress, but a more comprehensive transformation across society, including the abilities to improve environmentally, socially, and politically.

#####Everyone should seek out futuristic narratives in film, TV, and literature, and share them with the folks in their lives—especially young people. In this way, we can collectively shape ideals and concepts for a better tomorrow.

It is imperative for humankind to become increasingly self-aware and strategic on the larger scale of time and space; science fiction may be our most powerful tool for influencing popular thinking in this direction. Diverse visionaries in this field are greatly needed to produce intersectional concepts that push humanity toward a more promising trajectory. Whether we ultimately save ourselves and achieve cosmic migration or not, we can still have fun watching science fiction and participating in the dream of tomorrow, today.#####

Science fiction can inspire everyday people to engage in visionary, long-term thinking.
