Take a Harry Potter vacation!

You can actually go and look at many of the locations used in the Harry Potter films. For instance:

Sites selected for the films certainly hit the jackpot.
At Alnwick Castle, Britain’s largest inhabited castle after Windsor Castle, Philippa Pendrich said, “We have done very well thank you”.
At the castle used for exterior shots in the movies, […]

Delores Umbridge - let’s talk

She is probably one of JK Rowling’s more disturbing characters, at least for me, that is. I found her absolutely horrifying, especially the whole writing on Harry’s arm thing.
Here’s a few quotes:
Delores Umbridge:"I’m terribly sorry to contradict you Minerva but as you will see from my note Harry has been achieving very poor results […]

Timeline of the Wizarding World

Via the Leaky Cauldron, the Harry Potter Lexicon has just unveiled a timeline of the wizarding world - and let me tell you, it’s AWESOME, dude.
Now, this doesn’t just cover Harry Potter stuff, although that is a big part. It starts clear back in Ancient Egypt and covers both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds, side […]

In Memoriam - Cedric Diggory

I found this GREAT video basically paying tribute to Cedric Diggory; who died after Voldemort shot him with one of the unforgiveable curses. You know, even though I’ve watched this movie like eleventy hundred times, I STILL can hardly take it when Cedric’s dad finds out that he’s dead - my 12 year old and […]

Happy Fourth of July!

You know, I’m very patrotic. I love my country. And since today is the 4th of July, I think I’ll do a special (short) posting.
If we didn’t have this date, we wouldn’t know Harry Potter, Hermonie Granger, or Ron Weasly. We wouldn’t be able to expand our minds to the wizardry world and try to […]

Nicholas Flamel

I thought that since I’m covering the first Harry Potter book that this would better to post than a summary of the chapter.
When I read this (looking for meaning for names) my jaw dropped to the floor. It seems that Nicholas Flamel was a REAL person. I did a little digging, and I found this […]
