Harry Potter Charactes
A community-maintained JSON API returning detailed Harry Potter character data — house, ancestry, wand, patronus, and portrait imagery — plus a separate spells endpoint. The project's own README lists its original Heroku host only as a fallback; that Heroku app has since been deleted, so the directory's URL is corrected here to the project's primary Render-hosted instance, which serves fine.
