I've gotten the hang of potions on Pottermore, and I've been doing some serious potion brewing these days. ;-) I'll be darned if Slytherin doesn't win that house cup! Although, I keep thinking...maybe Gryffindor will win bc that would sort of be in line with the books. But I do know that snakes are eagerly brewing and dueling (still stink in that, ( Read more... )

I finally registered at Pottermore and got sorted ... I'm a Slytherin! :-o I was kind of surprised bc I don't see myself as cunning or any of that traditional Slytherin stuff. I haven't ever had a favorite house; I've always seen myself as a mix of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.
After I got sorted I was in denial for a while and did three more ( Read more... )

I decided to start a new hobby in honor of the new year, and as usual, I've gone overboard with it. ;-) I always go overboard when I get excited about something. My new hobby is sewing!
( This is where I tell you all about it (and even have pics...) )

Big news: I finished Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4. :-D Well, I finished playing through it once, I'm still only at 32% - maddening! Oddly enough, I like Lego Pirates of the Caribbean more, so I'm back to trying to complete that (I suck at games, I truly do, but I still love playing them). Next I'll get Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7, but not quite yet ( Read more... )

Well, I finally watched it after having tried to put it off for ages. I'm glad I didn't watch it in the movie theaters; I'd have been a blubbering idiot. I don't think I can put together a coherent review or anything right now, but just some thoughts.

Overall:

I loved, loved, loved it. Very well done. It was a very intense watching experience, so I ( Read more... )

Goodness gracious, I've last been here in 2009! Well, I'm here again, even though I probably have no friends left. ;-)

Why am I here now? Honestly, I don't know. I guess I'm tired of Facebook where the people I know face to face don't share my interests or fandoms, and frankly, I like squeeing. <3 I want to immerse myself in fandoms again and squee ( Read more... )

Nope, haven't finished New Moon yet. I admit, Bella's moping has made me very unwilling to keep reading, but I will get through the book before the movie comes out, I swear. :-) And I really want to get to know Jacob better!

I was reading a Twilight message board the other day and found this discussion on writing a book. I thought it was so funny ( Read more... )

To me, it has to be Prisoner of Azkaban. I think Jo is an extraordinarily talented micro-plotter (she does have some probs with macro stuff, but looking at the series as a whole, it's not a huge issue), and it comes out well in that book. There's no extra meat, just an incredibly clever story that's well written. Plus, I love the Marauders & Snape ( Read more... )

Just a thought (warning; I'm on an incredibly b*tchy mood).

How about, for once, we canon shippers write fics about how incredibly unhappy and unsuitable Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny are with their fanon partners (Harry/Hermione, Draco/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Ginny/Draco, etc.) and how they find TRUE happiness with their canon partners. Because heaven ( Read more... )

Heee, lots of fandom stuff lately! First we get the amazing new character promos from WB, which totally and completely rock. Okay, Hermione again looks very un-Hermioneish and photoshopped, but the males are great. My favorites are Ron, Draco and Snape. The Ron pic (which shows a decisive Ron in Quidditch gear) has already been oohed to death, so I ( Read more... )
