Wow, so this week it has been 15 years since Harry Potter mania started. In some ways it seems longer than that since I can't remember life before the Chosen One. My daughter asked for the Harry Potter books when she was twelve, around the time that Chamber of Secrets came out in 1999. I hadn't read any reviews - it was all word of mouth from ( Read more... )

(Yes, Muggleness, instead of "Mugglenet" on which the March Madness Game has now dwindled down to "Cheatin' 50-constant-points-ahead Hermione" versus "Harry-who-may-not-have-a-chance-against-the-Hermione-Fan-Juggernaut."

The original sequence had a lot more conversation between Snape and ( Read more... )

This is an early birthday present for myself and for all my friends who appreciate Snape. I decided to learn how to edit film clips for this one, and I think it turned out pretty well. The music is by the group Survivor and was originally written for one of the Rocky movies. I love it because Snape's life is something like a rock opera and this ( Read more... )
