mlwl and I are going to Easton to see Half-Blood Prince at midnight!!!

*shrieks and flails*

I won't even tell you how long I've been waiting to see the Tower Scene unfold onscreen, or the bathroom scene where Harry catches Draco crying and uses Sectumsempra on him and then Snape SINGS a healing incantation, or the Inferi in the cave, or the mother ( Read more... )

My life in 30 seconds: I've got a week left until school starts. I'm still mourning the end of the Harry Potter series. I've had major revelations about my novel and will be writing again shortly, I can feel it. Also coming soon is another rant on my battle with religion, as I'm changing my thinking yet again, or, honestly, I'm discovering my real ( Read more... )

So, July 20th rolled around and after a great dinner with the Leaky Staffers and a hilarious and rude pillow fight at the Mugglecast, we finally queued up outside Waterstone's in Piccadilly Circus with 10,000 of our closest friends to wait on the book. No joke. The line was just shocking. And it was crazy. Everyone was in great spirits and dressed ( Read more... )

Hi all! I'm sitting in an internet cafe in London, hours away from my flight home, and I just wanted to say a few things before I left. I will, of course, be making a DH post, but later, after I've read it through again. There's simply too much to process and I need to take notes.

Alright, in mere hours I'm going to be boarding a plane to fly to New York City, meeting up with Andrea, and then flying to London. From there, we'll travel to Edinburgh and Paris. We'll see the sights, have the time our of lives, and generally wreak havoc on poor, unsuspecting British people.

Oh, and in the meantime, a little film called The Order ( Read more... )

The following has been a long time coming, but I've finally decided to throw caution to the wind and put my thoughts out there. Why now? Quite frankly, because these books are tearing me up inside. I honestly feel I've been hormonally imbalanced the past few weeks because I'm just so damned emotional. Yesterday, I finished Order of the Phoenix. I ( Read more... )

Everyone join me in jumping up and down, screaming/shrieking like a fangirl, and generally acting like I've ingested massive amounts of sugar.

It is officially, as of right this minute, 31 days until the release of Deathly Hallows, 21 days until the movie Order of the Phoenix comes out, and 20 days until I leave to meet Andrea in NYC.

SQUEE!!!!!!!! ( Read more... )

I'm going to take the plunge.

I have been theorizing, like many others, about the fate of Harry Potter since Half-Blood Prince came out. I have factored in all the mythology, the archetypes, and the alchemy I could handle, with a nice helping of religion on the side. I have been going around and around with some of my theories, wrestling them down ( Read more... )
