This post will stay at the top of this journal in order for others to leave concrit on the characterization of Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series.  Anon commenting is on.  Feel free to leave whatever concerns you have.

....so after an embarrassing few days where I believed I was married to Harry, I check on the community to find everyone affected by yet another psychologically damaging virus.  Really, I'd think Voldemort was taking lessons from whatever runs DramaDramaDuck if I didn't know better.

[a newspaper article is held up to the camera.  it is a long list of names that takes up the entire spread, and it scrolls downward in an infinite loop.  the large print above them declares, "MUGGLE-BORNS WANTED BY THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC FOR INTERROGATION".  one name is highlighted.

[the following can be found on the kitchen counter.  it is a short letter written in neat, small handwriting that goes as follows:]

Dear, Cross, Nena, and Michael:

Letting a perfect stranger stay in your home with few questions on such short notice is something that not many people would agree to if the idea is brought up.  You did all of this and ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if the oddest part about all of that was the lack of ear-bursting music and shouting or the general air of civility in the house.  But it is nice to have things back to normal.

((Referring to the Gundam mini!bodyswap plot craziness!  Feel free to poke her on where she is since really didn't tell anyone.))

I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is going to happen.  Voldemort has been too quiet this past year and really, the only thing we hear anymore are rumors.  This person goes missing, one is horribly scarred, one winds up dead.  This doesn't fit his style.  He came back in such a way that everyone knows he's back, ( Read more... )

It's June and for Harry Potter, that means some kind of craziness is about to hit the fan.  Hermione's been (rather fail-like on my part) moving through Half-Blood Prince so anybody that's read the series knows what's about to happen.  If you haven't then it'd be safe for you to look away from this post right now.

( I'll put a cut here just in case. )

Has it really only been two weeks since the Quidditch Final...?  I know they say that time flies by as you get older, but this is ridiculous.  It feels like we started first year last week and now we're on the cusp of our final year.   I suppose this is what Mum and Dad mean when they say they feel older by the minute.

We did win the House Cup!  I  ( Read more... )

I think Seamus was able to sneak firewhiskey in the Tower somehow because the boys are making a lot of noise.  They all deserve it though.  Ron...he was poisoned on the first by some tainted mead Professor Slughorn gave him.  If Harry hadn't been there to save him--and then Harry was in the hospital wing on the eighth.  McLaggen got in the back of ( Read more... )

Everyone is mooning about here because of it too.  I can barely talk to Ron or Harry without them looking like someone beat them in the with a Bludger.  Ugh.  It's hard enough studying with them without being interrupted by "OH, WON-WON!"  Lavender's even more unbearable than she was before.  She and Parvati stay up half the night giggling over ( Read more... )
