I found a draft of this post that I started back in early July 2011, and thought I would finish and post it. It made me quite emotional reading it back!

It was started when I first found out about the "Dear Mr Potter" book, and I have since bought a copy which I can't read without crying!

Here's my letter:

I still can't believe that it's the final Harry Potter film tonight. The series has been such a massive part of my life, and although I know that it's not over (there's still the wizarding world of HP, wizard rock and fanfic!) it still feels like the end of an era!

I've also recently been working on writing a "Dear Mr Potter"-esque letter about the ( Read more... )

Day 61 - a cowboy duct tape wallet. I attempted to create a coin pocket today, with a flap that folds over and fastens with velcro. There's actually another hidden pocket behind, as well as three card slots and the long pocket for notes/receipts. I quite like how it turned out!

ok i know everyone was thinking it when they were reading Deathly Hallows, but i can't believe JK Rowling has actually outed a major character! that's right, it's now canon (i know i'm behind the times so forgive me if this is old news but i can only get on the internet when i'm at work),

yesterday, a livejournal email notification arrived in my inbox, telling me that i had a new comment on my post regarding Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. it was an anonymous comment, saying that the person had been randomly searching the internet for reviews, and had come across mine. that's not the first time it's happened - someone else ( Read more... )

i've been laughing SO hard at this , that i think i've trapped my laughing nerve, it keeps spasming every few seconds. *relapses into floods of giggles*

honestly *wipes eyes and attempts to compose herself* a difficult decision, but my favourites are: ( these. )

one of the regulars in the coffee shop i go to came and sat with me this morning whilst i was happily inking harry potter fanart, and there followed one of the most hate-filled conversations i have ever been an involuntary participant of. i was actually being talked AT rather than TO most of the time, he didn't seem to need much encouragement. it ( Read more... )
