      You should read the "James Potter" series by G.Norman Lippert. It's a series of books that take place after the events of the Deathly Hallows and center around all the children of the people in the original books. The series was so well written it was even sanctioned and made canon by J.K. Rowling herself. In these novels, Merlin himself locked himself away in a prison outside time itself, but James Potter (Harry's oldest) accidentally let him out while on an "adventure". I think the books start with James in his 3rd or 4th year at Hogwarts

    After everything we've learned about the living portraits at the school, is there an additional type of portrait? Portraits of Wizards and Witches who lived before the creation of living portraits.
    If Circe lived on that faraway island long ago, we can doubt that she sat for living portrait to be painted. Would her portrait be one created for educational purposes like how schools today might have posters of George Washington or Winston Churchill? But in this case her image and personality were both the creation of the artist.

  • @Evoker23-lx8mb

    If Circe, a real life goddess from Greek mythology was a witch in the wizarding world, does that mean other gods from both Greek and other mythologies could’ve been wizards and witches that muggles just began worshipping as godlike figures due to their lack of understanding of magic? For example look at all the feats that Jesus performs in Judaeo-Christian mythology that are considered miracles. In the wizarding world, most of that is relatively simple magic all things considered.

Your research of Morgana is the same as I've learned about her, though I first learned about her rise of power from an episode of the original "Macgyver" TV series in its seventh (and final) season. I wonder if Dumbledore would've stood a chance against her had he been around at that point in time.
