Sweet! I've apparently nailed down my own little corner of Harry Potter searches on Google.

One of the most common search terms that land people on my webpage is "what did ginny catch percy doing." In case you don't recall, this question references Chamber of Secrets, in which Ginny giggles secretively about something or other she walked in on ( Read more... )

Finally got around to seeing this on DVD. I thought it quite good, one of the best so far, though my heart may always give the true "favorite" label to Goblet of Fire with its bubbly rom-com feel. Anyway, notes follow, with spoilers for part 1 if you care ( Read more... )

I've written condensed parodies for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows as well--books 6 and 7. I clearly do things in the wrong order. But I'm beginning to remedy that. Below is my condensed version of Sorcerer's Stone. Eventually I'll get to the other four.
