Read Me Your Favorite Line
Blame this entire rec post on the fact that I don't want to read sociology or The House of Mirth.
Massive rec post!
Harry Potter Fic - normal character biases remain.
Can't Be Held Responsible - Amy Fortuna (At FFN)
This is heartbreaking, wonderfully creative, and all around awesome (and short). I can't even tell you the premise of it...because that's the absolute genius of it. Go read it!
Marked - tessa_tiddles
Sirius Black meets The Communist Manifesto. Chaos and crack ensue. Enough said.
into the silence - noldo_
A simply poetic and beautiful fic about Sirius' entry into the first war. Best part about it is its small fragments of quasi-non-fiction elements into the overall narrative texture. They speak so loudly with a lot of economy of meaning. Lovely on the level of good character-study and technical finesse.
A Certain Light - mindabbles
A Neville character-study dealing with the evolution of his Christmas Holidays with his parents. It brings such a wonderful microscope on Neville's feelings of ambivalence towards his parents in the state they ended up in.
Harry Potter Videos
The serious -
Where Did I Go Wrong? - Sirrah78
Massive DH spoilers. Okay, so using The Fray's "How to Save a Life" is incredibly cheesy - but it works here. Also, you kinda gasp a bit when the characters fade out.
Fields of Gold - HBHO
Massive DH spoilers. I love Eva Cassidy's version of this song and, with its sepia-tinted tones and subtle voice overs, you may want to weep (the little Dobby voice over kills me for no reason whatsoever).
The Prince's Tale - PhoenixProductions05
MAssive DH Spoilers. Honestly, I think Johnny Depp is way too hot for young Snape, but you have give this person credit for doing such a mash - up to tell the whole story. Also, I am quite in love with the second of the songs used.
Way Not Serious-
Harry Potter in the Hood - omovies
Phrases like "I can't wait to bust a cap up his Azkaban" and allusions to "drinking Butterbeer 40's" make this WIN. H Piddy, indeed.
The Scar - UQ Law Revue
Harry talks to JKR about having a sex scene in the final book and compromises by writing numbers for an HP musical.
Harry Potter and the Brokeback Goblet - Rai2121
Apologies to the late Heath Ledger. Spoof of Brokeback Mountain using compromising clips and the text/background music of the original trailer from Brokeback Mountain. Points for it sounding like Cedric is propositioning Harry.
Poor Man's Hogwarts - www.themessageshow.com
Debate on school voucher issue with magical schools. "They didn't even give me a real broom, ya know?! They gave me this Swiffer!" The educator in me is amazingly amused. Out of date globes also funny ("Look, Gaul").
HP Art-
Awesome Comic Strip - hcwsketchblog
A, um...different take on Voldie and Harry's meeting in the forest. XD
Three Different Beauties - shatzy_shell
Nice anime style and the Snape one! ;_;
Letter to a Dead Man - nassima
Remus writes Sirius a letter. If by the end of this you are not curled up into a little ball of purely fangirly WOE...you have no soul. And the art is beautiful. Comes in gen and r/s editions according to your preferences. GO READ NOW!
CSI
Ms. Willows and the Candlestick - joran
The CSI Gang plays Clue. Cute and lovely character dynamics. I was wrong on who won the game, btw.
Random Links!
Legend of This Guy! - Topless Robot
THE ONE MAN ZELDA BAND!
Improbable Crossover Part 1 - Lizeth
Mori and Hunny from Ouran share a mysterious connection with Yachiru and Kenpachi from Bleach...aka, total crack. Hunny, however, is drawn so cutely that you will have cavities from merely looking at him. <3
The The Impotence of Proofreading - Taylor Mali
Hilarious. Taylor Mali pretty much rocks my world. "Remember, the red penis your friend." XD
Graphical Explanations of Rap Lyrics
Just as nerdy (and funny) as it sounds.
ENJOY!
