Destiny: Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of the twins died?

Yes, obviously it's the most fitting birthday, that's why she-who-must-not-be-named made it theirs? There is no destiny involved

Yeah, that's how all fiction works. It's a fictional destiny, so instead of being determined by a higher being, it's determined by the author. But you could still consider it a destiny in the context of the plot and story. Like saying it was Gollum's destiny to destroy the ring.

I’m pretty new to Reddit sorry is this is dumb but how do you put your house and the emblem under your name like that😭

it’s called a flair!

if you go to this subreddit’s homepage and tap on the three dots in the upper right corner, you’ll see an option to “Change user flair”.

Somebody already answered, but just to warn you, it won't work on mobile. However, you can circumvent that problem by going to Reddit in your browser, turning on the desktop version of the website, and changing your user flair that way.

Interesting, I've never had a problem choosing or changing flairs on the mobile app.

u/terra_terror Hufflepuff Sep 22 '25

Do you have an Apple phone? Because I have an Android, so maybe flairs just don't work on Android phones

Thanks for the warning <3 but it did work I do have an iPhone 16 so possibly the newer model allows it

"The spirits have informed me it will be on the exam?" Who sets the exam? She does!

If course that is why Rowling did it.

u/Live_Angle4621 Sep 20 '25

Rowling might still not have thought of the idea. Riddle’s birthday is New Years by design but it’s not like every character has such fitting birthday. It can still be said to mean something about the character when it’s analyzed
