The Harry Potter franchise has taken us to a world of unparalleled imagination. This theory was made possible by JK Rowling’s first book Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone (1997) and a film on the same was later released in 2001.

Twenty years later, we are still not over with that magical world of witches and wizards, their power, and food. Remember those Harry Potter-themed pencil boxes, lunch boxes, and school bags that we used to show off in every new session of class or after summer break? Well, it was truly an unforgettable time.

The world is home to various Harry Potter-themed cafes. Potterheads in India have also opened several eateries based on the movie for fans to experience the world of magic. These cafes will take you to the wizarding world in all ways you wanted since you were a kid. Here is a list of places that you must visit.

This cafe brings alive our childhood memories altogether. This Nagpur cafe is based on the Harry Potter and Friends theme. If you are a fan of both then this is a go-to-place for you. The eatery is decorated with the central park theme with Hogwart house flags and cartoons of Harry and his gang, combined with Monica and Rachel’s apartment.

This June marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” To celebrate a quarter century of magic, the author J. K. Rowling made public her original manuscripts, journals, and drafts, revealing some of the characters that just missed apparating onto the page and into our hearts.

Let’s take a look!

One of the mystical shops that never made it to the cobblestoned streets of Diagon Alley was Quattle Sticks, a bargain wand emporium run by the gaunt, jittery Tommy Quattlebaum. According to early outlines found in Rowling’s journals, Quattlebaum would sweat uncontrollably as he followed customers around his dilapidated warehouse, refusing to explain why there were never any wands in stock. Tourists would flock to the establishment to witness his quirks, such as slipping shoppers handwritten notes that said things like “I swear I am a good man” and “You have to go.” In an abandoned “Goblet of Fire” story line, Quattlebaum is found strangled in the basement of his own store, which is revealed to be a storage hub for semisynthetic opioids on an international black-market trade route.

One of the most vile villains of all time almost wasn’t. Close study of early versions of the series’ main antagonist reveals Voldemark, a wizard known casually as Mark, who lives in a repurposed van in Austin, Texas. Mark still tortured innocent wizards and Muggles, but not with the unforgivable and now iconic “Avada Kedavra” spell. Instead, he forced his victims to endure a series of frustrating and confusing seminars promoting blockchain technology. If anyone made it out alive, they did so disoriented and broke after unwittingly investing in a pump-and-dump crypto scam. Rowling switched gears when she realized that Mark was too unlikable, stating, “I just couldn’t stand writing him, with his vague Sanskrit tattoos and his constant use of the R-word.”

Can you believe that your favorite trio of best friends was originally a quartet? In multiple drafts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione welcomed a fourth squad member: a Belgian transfer student named Grapefruit Linda. On top of grappling with teen-age angst and fighting death-defying battles, this inseparable bunch also ran an illegal gambling ring out back, behind Honeydukes sweetshop. Students would place bets on whether the angry, bald Linda could wrap her entire mouth around a grapefruit, and Linda would always, without exception, fail, and then fall asleep for hours. As Linda distracted too much from the main thrust of the series, her short stint in the friend group came to an end, along with Ron’s original catchphrase: “Linda is going to absolutely ruin our lives.”

Trying to piece together Donna has proven a bit of a nightmare for Rowling scholars. With details scrawled only on used napkins, apparently Donna “does what she wants,” “owns no clothing,” and “could surf on top of the Hogwarts Express, no problem.” The character reads very thin, but sources tell us that’s because Rowling conceived of Donna while on a mescaline high, as also evidenced by Donna’s only written line of dialogue: “I love mescaline.”

Deep in the Forbidden Forest, among the centaurs and giant spiders, once dwelled the mysterious beings known as Jiff and Clara Piffon. Formerly spritely, young wood nymphs, this now exhausted middle-aged couple is described as “trying the polyamory thing” to revive “any spark at all” at the advice of their psychiatrist, Dr. Josiah Goldberg. Potter lore states that if one were to wander into the woods after dark, one would slowly be lured by their drunken pleas into a misguided throuple situation—trapped, eternally, in their endless circular arguments, somehow ending up as their fucking mediator. Though Rowling never drafted anything past the Piffons trying to save their marriage with that zip-lining-getaway fiasco, she has informed readers that the fictional characters have since split up and that Clara now lives with a woman. Jiff, meanwhile, got a condo in Key West and bleached what’s left of his hair—like that’s gonna help.

Apparently, Rowling always planned to give every character a “dark twin” that would perform the entire story simultaneously and in reverse. She abandoned the idea after attempting the first chapter, where baby Harry is delivered to his aunt’s doorstep while also running and screaming backward through a demolished Hogwarts that is rebuilding itself in a “cacophony of suicidal insanity.” Luckily, those pages lived on, and the famous Potterhead Christopher Nolan used them as inspiration for his 2020 film, “Tenet.”

Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the only wizard the Dark Lord ever feared, was, until the very last draft, the street magician David Blaine. “It was heartbreaking to replace Blaine,” Rowling has now revealed. “The fundamental concept of Harry Potter was ‘What if David Blaine ran a school for British children?’ But ultimately the publishers wanted Dumbledore, and I was too young and timid to put my foot down.” Early manuscripts show quite a noticeable difference between the characters. Instead of searching for Horcruxes while wearing half-moon spectacles and sweeping purple robes, Blaine would strut the school hallways in his signature black muscle tee, stopping students to perform card tricks for them or eat glass. Instead of spouting poignant turns of phrase such as “To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure,” Blaine would mostly just mutter, “Look, watch. Look here, watch, watch.” Or, if he was feeling particularly whimsical, “Look, wait. Let’s try this. Look, here, watch . . . hold on, look.” The story line Rowling most regrets losing involved Blaine becoming addicted to the Pensieve, a device used to relive memories, and using it ten hours a day to bum around Burbank strip clubs with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire in the mid-nineties.

We just read the backs of the napkins and learned that Donna “blacked out in Quatle [sic] Sticks, did something very bad, need passport.” Though we’ll never fully understand what these cryptic notes allude to, we wish Donna bon voyage on her exciting international adventures!

Earlier this year, Louis C.K. proved his own “cancellation” was a myth when his big comeback special Sincerely Louis C.K. not only landed a nomination but went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

Don’t be surprised if Dave Chappelle pulls off a similar trick at the Emmys.

Now, to be fair, hateful speech is not the same as C.K.’s abusive behavior, but it now feels inevitable that Chappelle’s controversial Netflix special The Closer will be rewarded by the Television Academy when nominations are announced this Tuesday.

In addition to Chappelle’s Netflix special, the nominations for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) are expected to include some non-comedy entries as well, including Adele’s One Night Only concert and a similarly problematic Harry Potter 20th anniversary reunion on HBO Max. But it is comedy—and Chappelle, specifically—that have dominated the category in recent years. The comedian’s previous Netflix specials Equanimity, in which he defended Louis C.K., and Stick and Stones, in which he mocked Michael Jackson’s accusers, won the award in 2018 and 2020, respectively.

If The Closer is included among the nominees, it will be despite immense backlash against the transphobic jokes at its center—and the comedian’s continued obsession with that topic. Even after he was attacked on stage at the Hollywood Bowl, Chappelle quickly joked that the assailant must have been a “trans man.” More recently, he assailed students who criticized him as “instruments of oppression.”

But it will also come at a time when Chappelle—much more so than Louis C.K.—has maintained the support of the comedy community, speaking on behalf of his friend Jon Stewart at the recent Mark Twain Prize ceremony—an honor he received himself in 2019—and making a surprise appearance on one of John Mulaney’s summer tour stops that drew criticism from fans who felt bombarded by his anti-LGBTQ+ jokes.

So ahead of the nomination announcement this week, here are five comedy specials that deserve a spot over The Closer.

Jerrod Carmichael — Rothaniel

Of all the specials on this list, Carmichael’s game-changing hour is (hopefully) the most likely to make it into the final crop of nominees. Directed by his frequent collaborator—and the man who should have won last year’s award in this category—Bo Burnham, Rothaniel is a sneakily hilarious and moving set that promises to uncover multiple secrets about Carmichael and delivers. Coming out as a gay man is among the least surprising things the comedian reveals about himself over the course of the laid-back hour, which evolves into a sort of public therapy session with the hyper-engaged audience.

Moses Storm — Trash White

When comedian Moses Storm dropped by The Last Laugh podcast back in January, I called his HBO Max special Trash White the first great stand-up special of 2022. Not only is it visually dazzling with a set made out of literal white trash, but Storm has a hell of a story to tell about growing up in a doomsday cult and reckoning with how that unconventional childhood has impacted his ability to exist as an adult in the world. And on top of that, it includes a beautifully rendered, inadvertent tribute to the late Bob Saget, who played a surprisingly big role in Storm’s upbringing.

Ronny Chieng — Speakeasy

Speakeasy, gorgeously filmed in New York’s Chinatown, is The Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng’s excellent follow-up to 2019’s equally hilarious ​​Asian Comedian Destroys America! Instead of complaining about “cancel culture,” Chieng flips the script by daring viewers to “cancel” him so he can stop being so successful, go back home to Singapore and see his mother for the first time in several years. “If you commit a crime, you go to jail. That’s not cancel culture, that’s a felony,” he told me earlier this year. “So when I did that bit, I was making fun of the ‘woke’ Twitter people who try to cancel everybody. And then I was making fun of the right-wing, who think that cancel culture is all-powerful.”

Taylor Tomlinson — Look at You

In her debut Netflix special Quarter-Life Crisis, Taylor Tomlinson broke through the noise and quickly established herself as one of the most confident young stand-up comedians in the game. Her 2022 follow-up Look at You proved it wasn’t a fluke. Now, at just 28 years old, she has already achieved her wildest comedy dreams, culminating with her first big theater tour this fall. The Emmys will presumably have many more opportunities to honor Tomlinson down the line, but they might as well start now. Her bit comparing imbalanced couples to chocolate-covered raisins alone deserves some sort of award.

Roy Wood Jr. — Imperfect Messenger

If you want to see what true stand-up comedy excellence looks like, few can top another Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr., who has been at it for more than two decades and just gets better with every special he puts out. For evidence of his mastery, look no further than the long run about how Leonardo DiCaprio’s role as an evil slaver in Django Unchained makes him an “underrated white ally.” But that joke is just one of many in Comedy Central’s Imperfect Messenger that intelligently takes on relevant issues in the culture without punching down or pissing off entire groups of marginalized people.

Bonus: Naomi Ekperigin on The Standups and River Butcher’s A Different Kind of Dude

So, these two are kind of a cheat because, as part of Netflix’s The Standups and Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Presenting series, respectively, the half-hour specials from Naomi Ekperigin and River Butcher don’t exactly qualify for this category at the Emmys. But I would put both sets up there with any of the hour-long specials released by more seasoned comics over the past year. Each comedian uses their 30 minutes to introduce themselves to the world in very different ways. By the time they inevitably land their own hours, they will no doubt both deserve to be in the Emmy conversation for real.
