Major excitement in HP fandom this morning! JK Rowling has provided us with a further small update in the lives of Harry and Co post-Deathly Hallows. The Quidditch World Cup has been taking place lately and there's been various reports from Ginny about the teams and matches. Now there's an article from Rita Skeeter about Dumbledore's Army ( Read more... )

When I was getting my stuff ready for my trip to London, I thought I could do a Day in Pictures post as it's been a while since I last did one and it seemed like an opportune time. However, when I checked my last DiP post, it turned out to be of the last time I went to London... Obviously, it was such a good idea, I had it twice. While I was in ( Read more... )

It seems that I am in gallivanting mode at the moment. On Saturday I went to Blackpool for their Truly Handmade and Vintage Music Fair. It sounded like it could be a lot of fun, especially with the craft workshops and music tutorials. I got there about an hour after it started and was greeted with basically a giant indoor car boot sale. I don't ( Read more... )

I've got back into Pottermore again recently. Although I'm really busy with my FMP, it's actually been ideal because there's no time limit to it so I can dip in as and when and do things at my own pace. It's been a good way to get a 10-15 minute break with a coffee mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

My Welcome email for Early Access to Pottermore arrived yesterday. It came at 12.10pm but I was busy out in the garden till nearly 4pm so I didn't get it till then. I signed in eagerly but within a few minutes, the site went down. I'd only been able to look at my profile and account settings! I tried refreshing the page but just got an error ( Read more... )

The Pottermore Early Access thing finished the other day. I was lucky enough to get an account although not so lucky with the name ( Read more... )

Unfortunately I'm having to review both Torchwood and Harry Potter in the same post. It's okay, I'll divide them up.

I've been rather apprehensive about a new series of Torchwood since it was announced that it would be done in conjunction with some American cable channel. Mostly because of the way Americans have been taking our best programmes ( Read more... )

It's currently 8.45pm. In 15 minutes, I will be watching the first of the new series of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Then later on, I will be going out to the pictures for a midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Like I said to ftmichael last night (and posted on Facebook/Google+ earlier on today), it's the one where no one dies ( Read more... )

For a while now Sunday has been a day for relaxing and fun stuff, which is why it's when I catch up on my webcomics and feeds on Google Reader. I was only thinking the other day about removing the Harry Potter ones as after the last film is out, I didn't think there would be anything much of interest on them now, other than saying what projects ( Read more... )
