I've been a devoted Harry Potter fan since I was five. At that time, I didn't read the books, but just focused on the movies, and they fascinated me greatly. I knew all the spells by heart, and I used to say the lines as I watched the movies again. I had random Harry Potter stuff written down on my school books, and I used to make a wooden wand and practice all the non-existent spells.

Then, I moved to London, and there, my cousin forced me to read the books. It was the greatest thing I had ever done, and I thank my cousin for it. He shoved the first book in my face and said, "Read it! The movies...

I: Who have you loved in your life?
R: Lavender Brown, Fleur Delacoure, Hermione Granger

I: Who is your best friend?
R: Harry, no duh!
I: What about Hermione?
R: She doesn't count! She's my wife!

I: How did you feel at first about Harry dating Ginny, your sister?
R: Ihad actually been trying to get them together for years! I was only mad because Hermione wasn't dating me at the time...

I: Which one of your kids do you like better?
R: I can't say?! I like all of them! Heugo does have good looks though... I wonder where he got them from? Hmmm? Hmmm?(flexes muscles, and smooths hair)

I: were you...

It began with hello;
but ended before goodbye.

Niether of us thought
that either of us would die.

It started one fall day,
I was way in over my head;
all I needed was a friend.

I grew up by your side,
you grew up by mine.

We didn't know
I was living on borrowed time.

But now here I lay,
ahem, lie;
dressed in white,
blank eyes to the sky.

You walk over slowly and whisper goodbye.
You look so odd as you begin to cry.

Goodbye to you also, my friend
but in my sight,
our friendship will never die.

-Inspired by the final battle
I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons, nor will I insist that their House colors indicate that they are "covered in bees".

No matter how good a fake Australian accent I can do, I will not imitate Steve Irwin during Care of Magical Creatures class.

Growing marijuana or hallucinogenic mushrooms is not "an extra credit project for Herbology".

"I've heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood's name" is not a challenge.

The Giant Squid is not an appropriate date to the Yule Ball.

I will not use Umbridge's quill to write "I told you I was hardcore".

If a classmate falls asleep, I will not take advantage...

Chapter 9: What's in the Mail Today?

As soon as we got in the room, we were showered with questions.
"Where were you?We were waiting for you after dinner."said Nix, as calmly as always
"I saw you leave with Harry!Where did you all all go?" Em nearly screamed out.
"You left with Harry?"
"What did you do?"
"HEY!!" that go their attention."Look long story short, we went to the forbidden corridor on the third floor." I explained
"Really?Well I'm happy you three survived,it would be terrible to have three of my roommates die a painful death."
"It WOULD be horrible. Then there would be no more people...

1. This one is funny, in Harry Potter’s world owls are considered to be the primary means of communication, but in many countries owls are considered bad luck and harbingers of death.

2. You know those witchy sounding names history in Harry Potter; well they were discovered from the famous book of herbal lore called Culpeper’s Complete Herbal.

3. The name of the author J.K. Rowling has not the “K” word part of her legal name; it has been from her grandmother’s name Kathleen and was put into book to get the male readers attraction.

4. Rowling’s favorite beast from the series is the...

Can you find a snobby, spoiled, pretty, and a bossy little girl like Samantha Jessa Crane? She is an American-British-Sioux Indian-Irish-Chinese-Jewish girl who likes to bullying every "useless people" in her school since kindergarten.

Her personality is a little bit of narcisstic and careless, but she don't mind with the latter because she have many perfect allies. While Hogwarts sent a letter to Karen Hoskins, the half-blood next-door, the postman incorrectly gives the letter to her because McGonagall accidentally writes the wrong house number.

Samantha, surprised, goes to London, only to...

I'll make this short but why did the movies do this. In the books Padma Patil was a ravenclaw while in the movies she was gryfindor.Now just like how Harry's eyes are green in the book and blue in the movie (yes I know Dan cant wear the contacts) but it is , in my opinion ANNOYING! Whats with all these stuff ups?

I mean in deathly hallows part one Harry was himself not barry. I mean WTF? Also in Prisoner of Azkaban in the quidditch match, cedric caught the snitch as Harry fell. But in the movies he got struck by lightning.

Obviously someone else in the world thinks that the movies stuff ups a little annoying. Does anyone agree/disagree i want to hear. (Please dont be offensive though and have ago at my intelligence, its happened before and quite annoying)also I know the movies are great so dont think i hate them.

An early page of Philosophers Stone showing an abandoned Plotline:
“So this Flamel bloke found the stone “ said Ron
“No- he made it, “said Harry, “He was an alchemist. Which means
“Someone who turns base metals into gold” said Hermione. She had
that old proving- I- know- more- than- everyone- else look on her face, the
other two noticed, “Of course. I read about this in Alchemy, Ancient
Art and Science, by Argo Pyrites”.
“I missed that one myself,” muttered Ron.
“(and)—of course it's some of the most difficult magic you can do.
And you end up not just with pure gold but...

The new students’ arrival was met with tumultuous applause. But none of the unsorted 11 year olds heard a thing. For there was only one thought in their mind, where will I be sorted? Then Professor Lovegood said in a silky voice “the sorting hat is ready.” Every one of the 11-year-olds face’s looked fretful. As they filed in, a very old and molding looking hat with a tear at the brim was placed on a stool and the tear opened up like a mouth and it broke into song.
“ A thousand years or more ago when I was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well known:...

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared by and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.

Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" said Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if you ever want to see your parents again you will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" said James.

"This doesn't add up" said Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." said James. "We will!" they all said in unison.

Regulus
Regulus
Regulus Black died in 1979. He was killed by the inferi while he was on his quest to receive Voldemorts locket horcrux and later see it destroyed. He was only 18 years old.

Regulus was part of the Black Family, which was almost all Slytherins. They believed in blood-purity. Regulus did too, in the beginning of his life, although he was Sirius' younger brother. We know Regulus was interested in Lord Voldemort, because in the Deathly Hallows when the trio search his room for Voldemorts locket, they find newspaper clippings all around his room that were about Voldemort. In the beginning of his...

Warner Bros. has scuttled plans to release the new "Harry Potter" in 3D.

In a statement released Friday, the studio said that when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" arrives in theaters on Nov. 19, it will be in 2D, playing both conventional theaters and IMAX, but that "we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window."

The statement continued: "Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of...

sorry if i made some miskis and stuff this is just part one
To begin, I suppose an explanation of this article's contents is in order. I have noticed, in seeing the films and then later re-reading the novels, that there are some character discrepancies. From humor to appearance, the characters in the films are, on occasion, very different from their source material. And it is in my humble opinion that the most important thing for a story to succeed is for there to be proper characterization. So, I hope I do not bore you too badly in this look at character discrepancies in the Harry Potter series. I will only look at one thing per character to make this...
