Harry Potter Fun Facts

Since it is awesome/ always relevant and my life obviously lacks any interesting content.

The War Is Done.

We protected the stone, we opened the chamber, we freed the prisoner, we were chosen by the goblet, we fought along side the order, we learned from the prince, we mastered the hallows, and we fought our war.

The war is won.

Fan vids like these... make me so happy.

POTTERMORE: HOUSE

Seriously... is anyone surprised? (:

POTTERMORE: WAND

So... earlier today, I got an email saying I can now access my POTTERMORE account. Yay! From here on in, my posts will be potter-filled and will just recount my online wizarding exploits.

First order of business goes to wands.

Once you enter Ollivander's, a series of questions will have to be answered. I'm censoring mine, but it will be available upon request. Here are the questions:

What is your size for your age?
What color are your eyes?
Was the day you were born an odd number or even number?
What do you pride yourself on?
Travelling alone, which route would you take?
What do you fear most?
What would you take from a chest of magical objects?

The wand I got is...


Here's the description:

POTTERMORE

Happy Birthday, Harry Potter!

And to your creator, Ms. Jo Rowling!

Genuine Love

A decade ago, Jo and her merry band of witches and wizards turned me into literature.

Thank you, Jo.

And thank you, Harry.

Pottermore.

Hihihi. The servers are finally open! Been trying to register since Pottermore was announced, to no luck. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Criela's post about being able to register. Yay!

The End Of An Era

"I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo."

MY BONES WILL LIE IN THE THEATER FOREVER.

Amaze-balls.

This is a picture of a bathroom stall at my school. The writing you see, that’s the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone/Philosopher’s Stone. I have no clue who wrote it, but whoever they are, they are my HERO.

JK Rowling

“I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls.”
— J. K. Rowling
