Harry Potter fan of the Week: Dragonsmemory Interview

posted by koolamelia

Dragonmemory's favourite character Harry

Well done to Dragonsmemory who thoroughly deserved to win the fan of the Week Contest a few weeks back. I'm really sorry for the late response to the contest-I take the full blame!

Why do toi think toi won?

Probably because of the picture

Do toi think toi deserved to win it and if not, who did?

In all honesty, I can't say for sure

Who did toi vote for?

Myself

Who's the biggest Harry Potter fan toi know apart from yourself?

That's ahard one. In all honesty, I've never met anyone as big a fan as me. The closest anyone has ever come is my cousin Adrienne

How long has Harry Potter been in your life and what does it mean to you?

13 if my 18 years. It's literally my entire childhood. I started at age five, and saw thed last movie at the end of my childhood. To me, it means that any one of us could grow up to do something great, even a skinny boy with round glasses

Who is your favourite character and why?

Harry. I'm so similar to him it's scary. That, and his determination

Do toi ship any non-canon characters together?

I never used to, but I now have a particular fascination with Luna and Neville.

Is Harry Potter your only obsession/dedication? Do toi like other series like Twilight ou The Hunger Games?

Yes, it's my only obsession. I can hardly stand Twilight (I only read it to see what all the fuss was about. Never making that mistake again) and I have no desire to read/see The Hunger Games.

Who in the Harry Potter films most deserves an award from jouer la comédie in your opinion and why?

toi really had to pin this one on me, eh? They all were so good. Every time I reread the books, I can hear the actors saying their lines. If I had to pick just one, I'd actually choose Rupert for his portrayal of the thick-skulled "sidekick."

Have toi ever seen The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, The Making of Harry Potter ou other HP related places?

No, and toi asking that makes me want to go even more.

Do toi share any sort of connection with anything to do with Harry Potter at all?

Yes. I was born July 31. Very early on July 31, I might add. I'm horribly nearsighted. I wear round-ish (more of an oval) glasses. I'm mecilessly attackex par insects any time I step outside. I'm dead clumsy as well.

Are toi glad toi won?

Merlin, yes. I've never won any sort of contest in my entire life.

Goodbye for now!

dragonsmemory If you can introduce me to a bigger fan than myself, it would be a miracle worthy of Merlin himself

REVIEW: Dylan's Deathly Hallows, Part I Q&A [SPOILERS]

posted by lovedrchase

1. How did Ron react to Hermione being tortured?: Irrationally... That entire scene was just how I imagined it in the books. The Malfoy mansion was absolutely perfect.

2. Were there peacocks?: there may have been... I didn't notice any. But it doesn't mean they weren't there.

3. Were Ron/Hermione done justice?: it was very clear that it was Ron and Hermione. The scene in the forest when Ron saves Harry's live while he's swimming underwater to get the sword of Godric Griffindor was amazing.

4. Was the locket scene like toi imagined it would be?: When harry opened it, Voldemort played on Ron's fears...

Mistakes from books!Book 1- Philosopher's Stone

Philosopher's Stone

Book 1 Mistakes
NOTE: Many of these book mistakes were corrected in later versions, so the mistake may not appear in your HP book.

* In Book 1, on page 27 (American paperback), it mentions that the snake in the zoo winked at Harry. Harry can't be blamed for being so surprised, as snakes don't have movable eyelids. Thanks, Bethany!

* When Hagrid comes and gets Harry out of the little hut on the rock, they use the bateau that the Dursleys used to get to the rock. So how do the Dursleys get off the rock?

* On Harry's equipment liste in the letter from Hogwarts, "1 wand" is listed twice. This was...

Renewal of Revenge

    Pant. Pant. Pant. The Disillusionment Charm I put on myself at the start of the battle was now wearing off. I was beginning to see the paled flesh of my hands. I’d better put on another one, I thought as I ducked behind a corner. “Occulto Existum.” I whispered— but just as I finished the incantation, I heard a voice.
    “Remus…Lupin. It will be my pleasure to destroy you.”

Some interesting and totally unimportant information about Nearly Headless Nick

posted by vanillaicecream

1.In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nick says he had not eaten in nearly 400 years. Yet he had, at the time, already been dead for 99 years longer than that.
2.The Harry Potter timeline is based upon Nick's deathday party in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Having died in 1492, and celebrating his 500th death day, this ostensibly places the novels in the early to mid 1990s.
3.In the film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nearly Headless Nick is played par John Cleese. Cleese is most famous for his work with Monty...

The Dark Lord Returns (Chapter 1)

posted by BellaCullen96

This is a fanfiction about Lord Voldemort returning as a ghost, and he meets Albus Potter. I'm still working on it, but here's chapter one! And please don't steal my idea!

The Dark Lord tightened his hold on the Elder Wand. This was it; he would finally kill Harry Potter. “Avada Kedavra!” he shouted, aiming the spell at Potter. A green light burst from the tip of his wand, but at that moment, Potter had said, “Expelliarmus!” And so green and red collided. There was a flash, and Lord Voldemort fell. His spell had backfired, failing him; he was dead.

Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight

posted by SarahRabbit16

I know that this article may rise controversy, but whatever. Harry Potter is better than twilight. Stephenie Meyer didn't become the first billionaire simply par écriture books; J.K. Rowling did!!! Harry Potter is just more....just plus in every sense. toi see, I have read both series-the "twilight" saga as well as the "Harry Potter and..." series. I l’amour them both. But I have read Harry Potter since I was in elementary school, so I'm sorry that Harry Potter rules in taking over my life and making me squeal with excitement. The twilight saga has made me squeal with delight as well, but not as...

Its Christmas Eve here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I am not happy. A stupid plant took me hostage! I am standing here, in some deserted hallway - alright, maybe its not deserted per say, but it sure as bloody hell looks like it from where I’m standing; and have been standing for the past heure - in a part of the school, I don’t even know where! Stupid Mistletoe. Yes, I, Rose Weasley, have had the misfortune of getting stuck under one of Hogwarts’ famous Mistletoe bunches.

The 2 Deathly Hallows films

posted by Lunatic

*sigh*

Although I hate to admit it, it ought to be put into two different movies, much like the way Peter Jackson put content from the Two Towers into The Return Of The King.

It would mean that we'd get a much better movie than that last one which was like watching a car crash. (I had to look away.) The scenes look great, but we never get to see the events ou hear the lines before being wisked away to see another set and be deaf to another set of lines we ought to hear.

I really don't want that to happen again, because lets face it, it sucks. Thus, two films would be better. The first three...

How To Really Enjoy a Harry Potter Movie...

posted by Priscilita22

[img1, right, medium]

I have decided to write this article because I've noticed that a lot of people have doubts about the Harry Potter movies.

First of all, let me say that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people call themselves "major Harry Potter fans" but have never read the books. I do not think that toi can be a Harry Potter fan just par watching the movies, and I'm pretty sure anyone who has read the livres will agree with me on this.

Having a dit that though, the other jour one of my Friends asked me:
"Why were the Harry Potter films made?"
She asked this question because she felt like the films "did not...

Hello my name is Caitlin and I'm a Potter-holic.

Everyone has a story of how their Potter addiction started. My addiction started on 7/16/2005. It was the premier for book 6. I went to the premier for book 5 and attempted to read the book but it was too boring. So I was determined to read book 6. I never read any of the other books. I've only seen the movies. I started to read the book and I took it everywhere. I took it to summer camp and read all day. One jour another girl at the camp came up to me and said," Oh my god, you're lire Half-Blood Prince! I just finished it. toi know Dumbledore...
