Mikan and Hotaru are best friends! (Well, according to Mikan, anyway. Hotaru doesn't seem to care.) Then one day, Hotaru is escorted away in a fancy black car, apparently scouted by a school in Tokyo called "Alice Academy." Crushed at the loss of her favorite pal, Mikan scurries after her, determined to enroll, too!
But Alice Academy is a mysterious place. Can Mikan tough it out in a school where explosions, superpowers, giant baby chicks and axe-wielding teddy bears are the norm? But it's not as if she has a choice, because once students enter Alice Academy, there's no escape!

Exactly what I wanted
We just received our wedding programs and are absolutely in love with them!! The personalization process was hassle free. I was able to play with fonts, pictures and colors in order to get this to tie in with the overall theme of our wedding: country chic.
I have ordered all of my wedding paper essentials (save-the-dates, invites, etc.) from Magnetstreet and I've never been disappointed. The printing is stellar. The quality of paper used has never been sub-par and I always receive them very quickly. (in fact, I ordered this on a Tuesday and received it that Friday!)
Awesome Program
We purchased the gate fold design for our wedding ceremony programs and we were definitely pleased with the outcome! We included a photo with content, and received the proofs faster than expected and for.the two updates that we requested, they were incorporated within a day. Overall, the quality of our programs were excellent, and the customer service was outstanding! I would highly recommend ordering from this company!
We are so pleased with all the products we have received! We have used the magnets, invitations, programs, and will be ordering thank you's as well. The quality is excellent. Everything turned out beautiful.

The survey shows happy face :-)
Phoronix: The 2011 GNOME User Survey Results
Here are the much-anticipated results of the 2011 GNOME User Survey.
The survey shows happy face :-)
So I guess the survey missed its agenda. No sensationalist headline here.
No... 4740 said they are using Gnome 2.x, and 5519 said they are using 3.x.
Huh, what's the point of some of those questions, like if you know what GNOME is and if you use GNOME, if the survey is called the "GNOME User Survey"?.. That also explains why few of them describe their desktop as KDE - if you're a GNOME user, then why would you say that your desktop is KDE?..
Other than that, yea, everything seems to be rather normal there, nothing in particular really stands out.
The first description is wrong. While 9723 people answered "yes" and only 51 people answered "no" to "Do you know what GNOME is?", the sentence "most everyone was familiar with the GNOME desktop" should have read "many people were delusional enough to answer 'yes' even though they did not have a clue".
The number of people urging the GNOME developers to drop Unity or to drop Compiz (neither of which has anything to do with the development of GNOME) was mindblowing, a true testament to human stupidity. Finding out what GNOME is (a simple task that takes a couple of seconds) should be the first thing any person does before filling out a GNOME user survey.
Ok, we need a KDE survey now.

Another name for a Screaming Seagull, this is a sexual move in which 2 people have sex on the beach, and the male sticks his penis in the sand and proceeds to have sex with the girl. The result is a painful experience in which the sand makes a crunching noise inside the vagina, hence the name.
We were doing it on the beach, and I decided to get kinky and give her a cap'n crunch. She screamed louder than she did in bloody anal sex.

Get This Ring This ring is total class mixed with a modern design. If you have looked at the picture and can't decide if the ring is dark like the photo, just know that it isn't as dark as it looks. It is a perfect balance of color. If you are looking for a ring that isn't bright silver, then this color is for you. The outer edges of the ring are pretty much true to color in the photo. The center band of the ring is is one to two shades darker with a brushed finish. When you wear this ring and the light catches it, you get a slight flash from the light bouncing off the outer edge. It is truly an attention grabber. This ring is solid. Sizing: If the top of your fingers are thinner than your knuckle then get 1 size smaller (i was a 9 and an 8 fits perfectly). If the top part of your finger is around the same diameter as your knuckle then a half size smaller is the way to go. I have had this ring for a week now and I have received numerous comments on it when people notice it. For the price, I went ahead and bought 2 sizes so as I grow old and my finger grows I will be able to switch to the larger size. This ring is timeless.

Very Nice I found this ring in a jewelry store that was priced right at $150.00 more than Overstocks price. I decided to order the ring after reading all the reviews in a half size smaller than the ring size. Needless to say I had to return the ring for half size larger than I ordered. In my opinion the ring is true to the actual ring finger size.

Excellent ring I purchased this ring for a wedding band for my fiance who works as a Physical Therapist. We were worried about having something that would not scratch patients, but would also stand up to frequent physical abuse and multiple hand washings every day. This ring has been the perfect solution to our concerns. No scratches after a few months of use and if it gets misplaced at work it will only be bucks to replace.

Ring This ring looking on-line was perfect. I had my husband go to a jewelry store and try on a tungsten size 9 1/2 and it fit him perfectly. Once we received the ring, he put it on and shook his hand and it flew off. Be sure to go a 1/2 size smaller than what you are. Also, be sure to watch the THICKNESS of the ring...........also the width, but the THICKNESS of this ring was too much. He felt like he was wearing a washer bolt. If you notice, SOME of the rings will list how thick they are and some do not. This is very important for comfort. This is our opinion. Good luck.

What happens if this ring should get scratched or can it get scratched? My husband loves this ring
Hello nancytravis, tungsten carbide can only be scratched or damaged by extreme measures like abrasion from diamonds or corundum. Normal daily activities should not scratch this ring. Thank you for shopping with us.
I filtered my search to ring sizes 6.5 and 7, and this ring showed up as a search result. However, when I go to add this to the cart, it does not have either sizes. Is this ring available in either of those sizes (preferably 6.5) mentioned above??

Do you ship ANY mens' rings to Canada? Every ring that I am seeming to find, that I would like to purchase for my other half, says that they are unable to proceed :(
Hello tobysgurl, we have researched this issue and it appears that tungsten is not shippable to Canada because it is a restricted product. We recommend shopping for white gold or platinum in this style. We apologize for the confusion. Thanks for shopping with us!
I live on a border town. I got mine shipped to a shipping place in Ogdensburg, NY and picked it up. Not to sure what kind of distance you need to travel but something to look into.

Hi kel1683. I am sorry to hear it was to large. Please call our customer service team by phone at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) Thanks for shopping with us.
Hello! I'd like to buy this ring for my boyfriend, but I'm having troubles picking the right size. I've printed your sheet for fitting, so it can match my own ring (as we have the same size), but I'm not sure if the sheet is the right size. It says that you should put a penny on it to make sure, but as I live in Belgium I have no penny to put on it. Is there any way that anyone can help me with this?
is there any jewelry stores you can visit that has ring sizers? i found the ring to run bigger than size ordered would try 1/size smaller. hope this helps.
I just purchased this ring for my husband and I didn't know what size to get either. We went to a local jewelry store and had his ring finger measured. He is a 10 and after reading what the other reviewers had to say I decided to order a half size smaller which is a 9.5. The ring fit him perfectly. I hope this helps.
I ordered th is ring and it was too small. We love the ring and chose to exchange it for the correct size, but it is sold out in size 10. Will there be anymore available?

Tungsten Rings Fact Sheet
Tungsten rings are popular as fashion rings and men's wedding bands. Tungsten offers a very cool style with plenty of shine and a high level of durability. Most tungsten rings are sleek and modern. These rings are more than just a pretty face, however. Tungsten jewelry offers many benefits over other types of metal jewelry. Consult these facts about tungsten rings if you are considering purchasing tungsten jewelry.
How to Clean a Tungsten Ring
Tungsten rings are hard and durable, making them low-maintenance. Unlike rings made of gold and silver, which are much softer metals, tungsten rings don't develop scratches easily and are tarnish-resistant. In fact, if your tungsten wedding ring has a polished finish, then it will always look shiny and will likely never develop scratches or blemishes. Tungsten jewelry is easy to care for, but it is important to know how to clean it because it is a metal that can react poorly with some cleaning solutions and methods.

Hi y'all from Australia.....
I've been lurking and loitering on here for a while now, learned a lot, so maybe now time to post something.
Some years ago I did a Robbe U47, my first sub. Probably not the best choice, but, hey, had to have a U Boat. Replaced a lot of it, one of those beautiful etch brass decks, conning tower from Accurate Armour....a lot of resin to be ground out to make that work.
Then converted it use a Engel piston tank. As a working model it was never much good. It was a cut up of the Robbe wtc piston tank filled from the rear, so sub always went down stern first....overpressure, huge turning circle, not much space for adequate batteries, direct drive...many shortcomings.
So, new project....Build a new wtc for it.
Through my work I use cad daily. This has extended to using a laser cutter to make parts. Signwriters often have them now to cut out acrylic lettering. Perfect.
I've built all the parts as 3d models and designed a new wtc to address the problems. The set of parts have been done and redone a few times to get the fit right. Now I have what looks pretty much like a final set:
For those familiar with the Robbe model....the bulkheads sit on a standard plastruct section which sits over the beads on the bottom of the tube. All these pieces are held apart on threaded rods.
Decided to post it as a build here....will keep me at it!
CNC, lasering is a fantastic process. I could never make it all by hand. Worst thing about it is the acrylic cement. Fumes awful....never thought I'd wind up making model parts dressed like the guy in Breaking Bad....

Ya'know Bob, Pa.'s not that far away! You come up on a Friday night, we could have ourselves a time!
Pies look great Steve! Do you only do this ny style at the market or do you do Neapolitan too? Slices or whole pies?
O I only make these pies to satisfy the folks who only want a slice to snack on. Most of my business comes in the evening selling more neapolitanesque whole pies to folks who know what that is. It's all good though! Please feel free to "like" me on Facebook @ X-Stream Cuisine
The Neo-N.Y. pies are 15-16" and sold as slices. 5 slices to a pie. I also do 10" whole neapolitan, different dough, tomatoes and cheese.
5 slices per pie? Really? How do you do that?
Do you have both types of doughballs on hand? Using Caputo 00 for the Neapolitans? I saw in 1 pic that the oven floor was 850+.
Oh yeah I could imagine it would burn up pretty quick at 850...lol What % of ischia do you use? I've been experimenting with my ischia doughs but have yet to dial it in

Other side weighs in on OHV plan
Predictably, people on both sides of the debate regarding the use of off-highway vehicles (OHV) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) have appealed the Forest Service's proposed Travel Management Plan.
The complaints of various counties and OHV user groups have been aired in this paper as the public process has progressed in Plumas County Board of Supervisors meetings and at public workshops held by the PNF.
Larger national and statewide groups have also entered the fray. Our recent story on the Sierra Access Coalition's appeal indicated that document was coauthored and supported by a larger OHV user group, the California Off-Road Vehicle Association.
The Wilderness Society and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility are challenging the PNF's decision from the opposite side in another joint appeal.
The Wilderness Society, founded in 1935, describes itself as "the leading American conservation organization working to protect our nation's public lands."
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) was founded in 1992 and characterizes itself as "a national alliance of local, state, and federal resource professionals."
PEER argues it provides "an important counter-force to those who demand weakening governmental protection of America's land, air, and water quality."
The joint appeal argues the PNF's proposed plan will "fail to halt resource damage, fail to reduce conflicts with other recreational users, fail to ensure that water quality goals are met, and fail to meet other important resource objectives."
Like the other groups that submitted appeals, this document contended the Forest Service inadequately addressed useful comments made by the public.
The appeal also argued the plan failed to "provide for diverse recreational opportunities, minimize environmental impacts, and markedly reduce recreational conflicts."
The environmental groups also told the Forest Service they didn't believe the PNF followed its own rules in coming to its decision.
The document requested the decision be withdrawn and replaced with one "that is in compliance with the law."
The appeal asked that the final use map only include "those motorized routes which can be justified through appropriate documentation showing that they were designed to be used by the public for long-term motorized recreation."

Elbow Selection Options Hide-A-Hose systems use standard vacuum tubing with special long radius elbows to create a hose-track section of tubing which stores the vacuum hose when not in use. The special elbows allows the hose to easily recover into the hose-track tube system. Hide-A-Hose elbows are made in three turn sizes: 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 22.5 degrees. With most pre-packaged Hide-A_Hose installation kits you have no choice in the selection of Hide-A-Hose elbows included, a critical part of the complete installation that can vary at each jobsite.
At Vacdepot each Hide-A-Hose rough-in installation kit is available with an option of four (4) Hide-A-Hose elbow kitting configurations listed below which include differing numbers of the three Hide-A-Hose elbows. The Hide-A-Hose elbow options allow you to customize your Hide-A-Hose inlet rough-in kit to your specific application. You can select the same HAH elbow options for each rough-in kit, or select a different option for each rough-in. The default "A" option is our most common and great for most applications, but please select the configuration of elbows best for your job. Standard vacuum tube elbows are not used in the Hide-A-Hose hose-track and are not included in the HAH-IK30, but are included in the add-on Main Trunk options.
Main Trunk Options The HAH-IK30 kit includes only the amount of tube, wire and fittings to add a 30ft HAH (Hide-A-Hose) to a vacuum system. The HAH-IK30 kit does not include the main trunk of the system which are the components that connect the vacuum power unit (mounted in your garage or basement) to your HAH inlet rough-in. HAH inlet rough-in kits also do not include any of the required components to add additional vacuum inlets such as utility inlets or sweep style inlets which are often installed in other parts of your home. The Main Trunk Options let you add the main trunk line to your HAH inlet kit in either a 50ft length or 100ft length. Standard HAH systems use only one trunk line per system - not per inlet. To add a single main trunk line to your multiple inlet kit order select the length option you need (50ft or 100ft main trunk) and add to cart. For additional HAH inlet kits select the "no main trunk" option and add to cart the quantity needed - you will only need one main trunk line per system.
HAH-IK rough-in kits do not include the HAH4000 finish inlet valve or vacuum cleaning hose. The finish valve and hose are not required for rough-in installation and are sold separately. We will always try to cut wire in one continuous length for multi-valve kits, however due to limitations your wire may arrive in two rolls.

I try to eat fish twice a week because of the health benefits. This is one of my favorite ways to eat fish. This is a simple dish with only a few ingredients. I recommend always using high quality ingredients to achieve maximum results like extra virgin olive oil, fresh pepper, ripe tomatoes and a good dry wine. These subtle differences can make a dish go from good to great.
Broiled Tilapia with Tomato Caper Sauce
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 servings • Calories: 256.5 • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 6 pts
Fat: 10.5 g • Carbs: 1.7 g • Fiber: 0.2 g • Protein: 37.4 g
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 (6 oz) tilapia filets
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1/4 cup white wine (I use Pinot Grigio)
- salt and fresh pepper
In a medium sauté pan, heat remaining olive oil. Add garlic and shallots and sauté on medium-low about 4-5 minutes. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add wine and sauté until wine reduces, about 5 minutes. Add capers and sauté an additional minute.
Meanwhile, set broiler to low and place fish about 8 inches from the flame. Broil until fish is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Place fish on a platter and top with tomato caper sauce.
Note: The olive oil adds to the flavor of this dish and is an essential healthy oil. If you want to lower the points, you can lightly spray olive oil with a Misto or use Pam. Points per serving would be lowered to 4 points per serving, 197 calories, 3.8 grams of fat.

Victorian style, typically referred to as English aristocratic style, doesn't imply demonstrating the luxury of materials and accessories used in the interior; yet it is certainly about accentuating particular details and elements. Building a Victorian-style interior demands pretty much space, so the regular apartment will hardly fit for global experiments. Thus, nothing but a spacious house would be a perfect zone for marvelous metamorphoses.
Mentioned below is a breakdown of characteristic features:
- A combination of several styles in one interior. For example, Gothic style windows, antique-style furniture, eastern origin accessories and wall decoration in the Baroque style; but what is even more important, all the components fit the entire picture perfectly.
- Expensive furniture made of natural materials. The preference is given to valuable species of wood, e.g. oak. The furniture can also be decorated with gilding and costly fabrics.
- Massive wooden doors and windows frames.
- The Victorian style color palette is represented by dark brown, green, burgundy, beige and lilac tones.
- Parquet floors with expensive carpets on top; plastered ceiling made of stucco and wooden modules.
- Fireplaces, mirrors, various boxes, ashtrays, lamps in the eastern finish, as well as curtains made of expensive fabrics are the accessories decorating the Victorian-style rooms.
Seasoned designers go even further beyond the concept of Victorian-style interior design, extending the grotesque to exterior components. Therefore, in aspiration to create an absolutely special atmosphere, Victorian street lighting elements may be applied in light design projects. As an option, non-strongly marked Victorian projects may feature heritage street lighting fixtures.

- "As your new Minister for Magic, I promise to restore this temple of tolerance to its former glory. Therefore, beginning today, each employee will submit themselves… for evaluation. But know this: you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide."
- —Pius Thicknesse at the Ministry of Magic.[src]
Minister Pius Thicknesse was a wizard and a Ministry of Magic official in the mid to late 1990s. During the Second Wizarding War, he became Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and, later in the War, Minister for Magic under Lord Voldemort's puppet regime while under the Imperius Curse, replacing Rufus Scrimgeour, who had been murdered by Voldemort. Thicknesse took part in the final conflict of the War where he fought alongside the Death Eaters, still under their curse. He was ousted from power after Lord Voldemort's defeat and was succeeded by Kingsley Shacklebolt in his post of Minister for Magic.
Early life
Thicknesse was born somewhere in the British Isles to the likely Pure-blood or Half-blood Thicknesse family.[1] It is likely he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth, possibly earning some O.W.L.s or N.E.W.T.s.
Sometime after his seventeenth birthday, Thicknesse joined the Ministry of Magic.[3]
As Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement
- " […] as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Thicknesse has regular contact not only with the Minister himself, but also with the Heads of all the other Ministry departments."
- —Yaxley, concerning Thicknesse's post as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.[src]
When Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was murdered by Lord Voldemort in the summer of 1996,[7] Thicknesse was appointed her successor, presumably by then-Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour.[3]
When one takes in consideration that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest Ministry department (to which the remaining six departments are all, in some respect, answerable with the possible exception of the Department of Mysteries),[8] it seems to be safe to presume Thicknesse was high up at the Ministry at the time of his appointment in 1996.
Under the Imperius Curse
- Lord Voldemort: "Well, Yaxley? Will the Ministry have fallen by next Saturday?"
- Yaxley: "My Lord, I have good news on that score. I have – with difficulty, and after great effort – succeeded in placing an Imperius Curse upon Pius Thicknesse."
- Lord Voldemort: "It is a start. But Thicknesse is only one man. Scrimgeour must be surrounded by our people before I act. One failed attempt on the Minister's life will set me back a long way."
- — Lord Voldemort and Yaxley during the Meeting at Malfoy Manor.[src]
In the summer of 1997, as part of Voldemort's plan to take over the Ministry, Death Eater Yaxley placed the Imperius Curse on Thicknesse. He mentioned that this was more difficult than he had expected and made him very nearly late for an important Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor (as Thicknesse's nature allowed him to resist). Many of the other Death Eaters were impressed with Yaxley's work, Antonin Dolohov clapping him on the back in congratulations, but Voldemort pointed out that Thicknesse was only one man, and that he needed Minister Rufus Scrimgeour surrounded by his agents before he acted.[3]
Thicknesse proved useful, however. As head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Thicknesse had regular contact not only with the Minister himself, but also with the Heads of all the other Ministry departments, making it easier to subjugate the others. Thicknesse proceeded to do just that, remaining undiscovered and using his position to infiltrate the senior ranks of the Ministry, slowly working together to bring Scrimgeour down.[3]
Thicknesse also aided Voldemort in trapping Harry Potter at 4 Privet Drive, mainly by making it an imprisonable offence to connect the house to the Floo Network, to place a Portkey there, or to Apparate in or out. Officially, all of this was done for Harry's protection, but in reality, it was pointless, as Harry was protected by a charm from his mother's blood while living with his relatives. The Trace was also in effect, so if Harry or anyone around him cast a spell to get him out of there, Thicknesse would know about it and so would the Death Eaters.[9]
The Order of the Phoenix, as a result, believed Thicknesse had "gone over", which made it a big problem with the plan to move Harry. They abandoned the original plan, as they were unable to wait for the Trace to break; the moment Harry turned seventeen, all the protection he received from his mother would be lost. In short, Thicknesse thought he had Harry cornered good and proper, to which Harry could not help but agree.[9] As such, the Order was reduced to using the only means of magical transport left to them: broomsticks, Thestrals and Sirius Black's motorbike, setting the stage for the flight from Little Whinging,[9] and the murder of Alastor Moody by Voldemort.[10]
As Minister for Magic
- "As your new Minister for Magic I promise to restore this temple of tolerance to its former glory. Therefore, beginning today, each employee will submit themselves... for evaluation. But know this: you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide."
- —Pius Thicknesse addresses Ministry employees in the Atrium following the implementation of the Death Eater regime.[src]
Eventually, Thicknesse and the other subverted high-ranking Ministry officials, launched a "smooth and virtually silent" coup alongside the Death Eaters,[2] and on 1 August, 1997, the Ministry fell.[11] The Daily Prophet was also taken over, the official version of Scrimgeour's murder was that he resigned, and Thicknesse replaced him. Only the Order seemed to be aware that he was under the Imperius Curse. As a result, Thicknesse was nothing but a puppet, taking care of everyday business while Voldemort, effectively the true Minister, was free to extend his power beyond the Ministry.[2]
Thicknesse, at Voldemort's direction, installed a new regime at the Ministry that was more in line with Death Eater ideology.[2] His actions included having a statue depicting a witch and wizard on top of a throne made from the bodies of crude-looking Muggles, inscribed with the motto "Magic is Might" set up in the Ministry Atrium, replacing the Fountain of Magical Brethren.[12] Yaxley succeeded Thicknesse as head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement,[12] and several other Death Eaters, such as Travers[5] and Selwyn,[13] were appointed to other powerful positions within the Ministry.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts School, the Dark Arts and prejudiced depictions of Muggles were taught by professors Amycus and Alecto Carrow respectively under the new Headmaster, Severus Snape.[12] Hogwarts attendance became mandatory, and students must prove their blood-status, with Muggle-borns removed.[2] Harry Potter was declared "Undesirable No. 1", wanted for questioning about the death of Albus Dumbledore[5] with a ten-thousand-Galleon reward on his head[12] (which was by March, 1998 increased to two-hundred-thousand when attempts to find him all over the country continued to fail).[14]
Using falsified research done in the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry claimed that Muggle-borns "stole" their magic from "real" witches and wizards. As a result, the Muggle-Born Registration Commission was set up to persecute and imprison Muggle-borns,[2] with Dolores Umbridge as its head.[5] To round up any Muggle-borns or blood traitors on the run, the Snatchers organisation was formed.[15] Also people with known connections to the Order of the Phoenix or sympathies for Muggles, such as Arthur Weasley, were put under surveillance.[5]
- Thicknesse: "What brings you here, Runcorn?"
- Harry: "Needed a quick word with Arthur Weasley. Someone said he was up on level one."
- Thicknesse: "Ah. Has he been caught having contact with an Undesirable?"
- Harry: "No. No, nothing like that."
- Thicknesse: "Ah, well. It's only a matter of time. If you ask me, the blood traitors are as bad as the Mudbloods. Good day, Runcorn."
- Harry: "Good day, Minister."
- — Harry Potter, disguised as Albert Runcorn, talking to the Minister.[src]
Harry witnessed Thicknesse's altered nature while under the Imperius Curse, which showed him having a strong hatred for Muggle-borns, referring to them as "Mudbloods", as well as blood traitors, whom he claimed to despise just as much. While Harry was searching for the Horcrux in Umbridge's office, Thicknesse arrived momentarily to jot down a note, and almost discovered Harry while he was under the Invisibility Cloak, though he ultimately failed to notice him.[5]
In late 1997, Xenophilius Lovegood's daughter was kidnapped in order to stop his telling the truth to the public and encouraging support of Harry Potter in his magazine, The Quibbler. Hoping to get her back, he sent an owl to the Ministry when Harry, Hermione, and Ron came to see him. Thicknesse promptly dispatched Travers and Selwyn to investigate. They arrested Lovegood, but failed to capture the trio.[13]
Battle of Hogwarts
- "Hello, Minister! Did I mention I'm resigning?"
- —Percy Weasley while duelling his former boss.[src]
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Thicknesse was stationed within the ranks of the Death Eaters and fought with them against the castle's defenders. He was amongst a group of masked and hooded Death Eaters who successfully penetrated Hogwarts, and duelled with Percy Weasley. His hood slipped off as he tried to avoid being cursed, and Percy mocked his former boss before using a sea urchin jinx, causing Thicknesse to sprout sea urchin-like spikes all over his body. The corridor they were in was then hit by Augustus Rookwood's curse that killed Fred, which destroyed a great deal of the castle.[4] He and his comrades later retreated at Voldemort's command.[16]
When the battle later recommenced, moments prior to the duel that ended the War, Thicknesse was "floored" by Arthur and Percy Weasley.[17]
Later life
- " […] the Imperiused up and down the country had come back to themselves, that Death Eaters were fleeing or else being captured, that the innocent of Azkaban were being released at that very moment, and that Kingsley Shacklebolt had been named temporary Minister of Magic."
- —Description of the events immediately after the end of the Battle of Hogwarts.[src]
It is uncertain if Thicknesse was killed during the battle, or just Stunned (but in the final movie adaptation, Voldemort killed him). The latter seems more likely, as Arthur Weasley, like the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, knew Thicknesse was under the influence of the Imperius Curse.[9] After Voldemort's death, all the people across the country who had been under the Imperius Curse came back to themselves; if he survived the battle, this would include Thicknesse. Right after the battle, Kingsley Shacklebolt was named temporary Minister for Magic, which later became a permanent appointment.[17]
Physical appearance
Thicknesse is described as having long black hair and a beard streaked with silver, as well as "a great overhanging forehead" that shadowed his glinting eyes.[5] Harry Potter thought he resembled a crab looking out from beneath a rock.[5]
Personality and traits
It is unknown what Thicknesse was like before the Imperius Curse was placed upon him, or after it was removed when Lord Voldemort was defeated. While under the curse however, his air of lofty authority mixed with his appearance made him generally intimidating and a little too happy with the way things were being run at the Ministry under him and the Death Eaters, casually espousing the view that blood traitors were as bad as Mudbloods to Harry Potter, who was disguised as Albert Runcorn at the time.[5]
It would be unfair to judge Thicknesse solely on his activities during his tenure as Minister for Magic however, as he was being controlled by the Death Eater Yaxley at the time, and was not responsible for his actions. However, since the Death Eaters had to resort to the Imperius Curse to get Thicknesse on their side, it is safe to say that he was not a sympathiser of their ideals. As head of the largest Ministry department, one can presume he was a fairly capable wizard, and as a law enforcement official, he is implied to have been an impartial and strong-willed individual, as he tried very hard to resist the effects of an Imperius Curse.[3]
Magical abilities and skills
- Duellist: During the Battle of Hogwarts, Thicknesse duelled against Percy Weasley and was defeated when the younger wizard Transfigured him into a sea urchin.[4] Later in the battle, it took Percy and Arthur Weasley to floor Thicknesse alone.[17]
- Imperius Curse resistance: Thicknesse had a certain level of resistance against the Imperius Curse, as Yaxley claimed that he had difficulty on subduing him. Thus, the Imperius Curse that was placed on Thicknesse had to be particularly powerful.[3]
- Demagogism: A politician, Thicknesse proved to be a good speaker and demagogue.[18]
- The name Pius is derived from the Latin word pius, which despite being similar to the English word "pious", has a different shade of meaning; that is, it refers to one who has reverence for law, government, and order. Thus it is particularly appropriate for a head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Minister of Magic. It has also been the regal name of twelve popes. Thus, the name of the man who created an organisation to oppress Muggle-borns may allude to the Inquisition, which persecuted heretics and, ironically, witches.
- Thicknesse, meanwhile, may mean "thick" and the Proto-Germanic word nessye (or nessieh), meaning "tongue", probably alluding to the anti-Muggle-born propaganda passed during his tenure as Minister.
- In Swedish, Thicknesse was renamed "Pius Korpulens", the word "korpulens" meaning "girth". In Serbian, Thicknesse was renamed "Pije Glupsije", the word "glupsije" meaning "dumb". In Italian, Thicknesse was renamed "Pius O'tusoe", that sound like the word "ottuso", an Italian word for "dumb". These translations may have been inspired by the fact that "thick" is also British slang for "not too bright".
Behind the scenes
- Thicknesse was portrayed by British actor Guy Henry in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.[19]
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Thicknesse is present at the Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor, implying that either he has already been Imperiused (though it is not mentioned), or that he is an actual Death Eater. Since Voldemort asked him about the night of Harry's departure from Privet Drive after Yaxley had given his information, the latter is much more likely. He appeared, however, quite uncomfortable at this meeting presenting the likelihood that he was an accomplice of the Death Eaters, but not actually a member (note that he wears a pinstripe suit instead of Death Eater robes in this scene). Alternatively, in the film, there is a hint he may have been coerced by the Death Eaters to do their bidding (Thicknesse seems upset when Nagini curls up intimidatively right beside him on the floor and when addressing Ministry officials his hand can been seen trembling).
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Pius is ruthlessly killed by Voldemort in frustration after he interrupts his concentration with an unwanted interjection.
- In the Harry Potter Pronunciation Guide at the Scholastic official website, Thicknesse's name is spelt phonetically as "PY-us THIK-nuss" (as in "thickness". However, Rowling pronounces it as "PY-us thik-NESS" (as in "Loch Ness").
- Pius Thickness has the distinction of being the Minister for Magic with the shortest known term in office: 275 days (roughly 9 months).
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, Thicknesse does not appear in the main storyline at any point, but is an unlockable character. Somewhat inaccurately, Thicknesse is depicted as a Dark wizard, with the ability to cast the Unforgivable Curses and manipulate cursed objects.
