HBP was incredible. I feel like the entire trio took serious acting lessons in between OotP and this and came out much better for it. Specifically, Emma no longer emotes solely with her forehead. Also, Dan during the Felix Felicis scene was so funny; I loved that they made him high for the aftereffects of the potion. Plus, Jim Broadbent was just ( Read more... )

There is speculation that this guy has been cast as young Remus. His name is Stuart Hastings, and Warner hasn't yet confirmed this rumor. But, I am happy with this ( Read more... )

The Full Black Family Tree has been made available thanks to a fan. Apparently, Jo was auctioning it off at an event which fans could attend, and a fan going by Aberforth online copied the tree by hand. Sirius' parents were both Blacks: his mom's name was Walburga, and his dad's name was indeed Orion (the constellation in which Bellatrix occurs). ( Read more... )

Oh, home for the holidays (or one sham holiday), you are amazing. Feasterville, truly a friendly place to live.

It's rather cold here. The house is really drafty, but I love it anyway.

Plus, Harry Potter 4 was very entertaining. It's the Pattinson; he's so cute.

OK, I'm officially in love with Robert Pattinson. It was the leather pants that did it. I can't be held accountable.

Who dresses that child? And, for that matter, who dresses anyone in the Harry Potter movies? Why did every male wear a velvet jacket? Dan, Rupert, and Robert. That's far too many. Plus, why is Dan's jacket so long? Someone must sit ( Read more... )

I think that's pretty dead on. I mean, ancient runes are the wizarding equivilant of latin, and I'm sure potions equal chemistry, which nearly claimed my life. Also, sherbert balls would actually probably be my favorites, and I like the sound of the word 'boreal.' The wand is a bit iffy though. Pine? Please ( Read more... )

OK, so I got home from Boston at approximately 10 PM. Brian was halfway through the book, and I wasn't allowed to read it first. I was content to wait until Sunday afternoon to read it, until he fell asleep and I stole the book. I read from 2 until 8:30 AM. I got up to page 510. I went to church, waited for Brian to finish and then finished the ( Read more... )

So, I go away for BU orientation tomorrow. I'll be in Boston until Friday, then I'll go and visit my sister, brother-in-law, and niece in NH, which promises to be a good time. I'm dreading orientation, if only because it will probably be super lame. I hope to find out if I can double major in ancient greek&latin and english, while participating in ( Read more... )

In honor of Christa's excellent gift (Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis) and my obtaining Photoshop CS2, I've made a few icons. Actually, it's one icon with 3 real variations and the template-type-thingy.
