Hello Eddie, we meet again!
Hello Eddie, we meet again!
Hi guys, I managed to see this Harry Potter spin-off just now at the cinema with 2 of my classmates. Here's my review about the film since that there is no fan club about this movie yet!

The Story

Unlike the typical Harry Potter that I had read and watch the series, the story is extraordinary unusual especially in the Harry Potter Universe. I was a bit disappointed because they should have shown a bit of Lord Voldemort's background, and I thought that Credence was an ancestor of Voldemort due to their mannerism, motives and magic. Secondly, I was not very happy that they use the term 'No-Maj' instead of the usual 'muggles'. It's like using both British and American English!
Overall, I was very amazed by the special visual effects despite that it was sinister for the majority of the film. I also hope to read the book if I got the chance to do so!
Finally, a couple of characters like Newt Scamandar and Gellert Grindelward are familiar faces in the Harry Potter Universe! I found out that the latter has a connection to Voldemort later on.

The Characters

Speaking of the characters themselves, the majority of them are relatively newcomers, with the exception of the 2 characters mentioned. Only Scamander was mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and that Grindelward was a close friend of Albus Dumbledore during the adolescence years.
Jacob was a funny character that from one take, he could possibly be an ancestor to Neville Longbottom due to their physical appearance! But, considering that Jacob is a muggle, I don't think so.
At the end, when Percival was turned back into Grindelward. I could not recognise Johnny Depp playing the latter due to the special make-up and the hair colour. It was like Jack Sparrow has become a wizard!

Special Effects

I love how they use the special effect, Scamander's case was like a Fantasy Zoo inside! My favourite magical creature was the green little bug that into a butterfly-like creature, it reminds me of a Pokemon character that is considered my favourite. In fact, it was like Pokemon meets Harry Potter!
Also, the special effects on Credence and Scamander represents darkness and light respectively. It was a way to show goodness and evil in the 2 characters and Credence was actually misguided in his case!

Thank You Wizarding World!

Spoiler alerts! If you haven't seen the movie, go ahead and see it before it's too late.
I love this guy.

3. "Wow, you're even dumber than you look, and that's saying something. What kind of idiot tells their victim what they're about to do?! I'm ready for you now!!" *Prepare yourself by getting into various Matrix positions, beckon him with one finger*

Godrics Hollow pub.

Lily was looking around as though she were scared of who may come knocking. It was an eerie night but the moon managed to peak between the clouds that were circulating above, then..the pub door opened and in walked her old friend Severus.

" Lily"..said Severus taken aback by her beauty in the gleam of the moonlight. Her pale silky smooth skin, Beautiful Autumn colored hair and Emerald green eyes that sparkled like diamonds.

" You..you came" Said Snape

"Of course" said Lily " I know you never...meant to call me what you did Sev, besides I might not have much time."...

Severus Snape
Severus Snape
Severus Snape was killed on May 2nd, 1998, by Voldemort. Voldemort killed him because he thought that Snape was the master of the Elder Wand, and if he killed him, then he would be the master.

Snape is a half-blood. He did not have a good childhood. It is possible that he was neglected at home. Also, he was bullied by James Potter and Sirius Black from the moment he started attending the school. Taking the bullying to far once, Sirius almost led Snape to a certain death. Sirius told Snape about the hidden passageway under the Whomping Willow, which led to the Shrieking Shack. There Remus Lupin...

I don't consider the Harry Potter Wiki as reliable. Because according to its canon policy: if Rowling hasn't specifically denied something about a film in the books or in other words, whatever the films say is to be first and foremost promoted in the articles as a canon fact instead of the books' facts.

In my logic it should be the other way around. That the books' canon should be promoted first and foremost - exactly becasuse the books are the tier 1 canon and the movies only the tier 2 or 3 even - and because we can not be sure what about the films are from Rowling's hints and what are just...

No offense intented to anyone, and I love you J.K. Rowling and I love you to bits for giving us Barty Jr.'s character.

But I'm not too keen on finding out more about Jo's visions on Wormtail if she even has any. She seemed to totally hate him from the beginning to the very end. To have him as a plot device and didn't seem to care about him as a character at all.

She didn't give him any dignity or spine - (I recall only one moment wherein he shows bravery and good about himself; in order to pay back his life debt to Harry from the book three, in the book four he suggests to Voldemort that perhaps...

The seventh (and penultimate) film is said to have ‘a very different feel from the other movies’ as for the first time the action does not centre around Hogwarts.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run, thrust into what Ron (Rupert Grint) calls ‘a scary and unpredictable world where anyone could be working for Voldemort’ as they search for the remaining horcruxes in order to defeat the Dark Lord.

To whet your appetite we’ve conjured up some truly wizard facts about ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’:

June 1, 1998
    Minerva was sitting in her favorite place on the shore of the lake, watching the sun rise over the silent grounds. Just to be alive, to see the first light of day hit the castle that stood, so resolutely, silhouetted against fading stars, was a blessing. This was Minerva's favorite time of day because, for a few shining moments, all seemed to be as it should be; as the sun rose higher into the sky, the castle would come to life, and the students and professors alike would sit in the great hall and talk of meaningless things and be bathed in the fresh morning...

A Nerdy Throwdown

Leading up to tonight's premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, it looked for a while like it was going to be all Twilight, all the time here at NewsFeed. But then a savior appeared on the horizon: the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which would premiere before the film! A hubbub arose: Would Potter fans flood the Twilight theaters, perhaps starting a nerd rumble? (No, because that would be stupid. Also, because you can watch the trailer online.)
However, the fortuitous timing has inspired NewsFeed to take a side in the blood feud that has run for generations...

All over the world people are howling
About those great books by J. K. Rowling
Three little books that appeal to all ages
One learns about enchantments and spells in these pages
And a young boy who is quite ordinary in appearance
Who discovers he's a wizard with powers quite immense
To learn to control them he goes to Hogwarts School
And becomes a member of Griffindor, the house that's really cool
But its not all work, there's also time for fun
A great game called Quidditch which has to be won
With broom that fly and a cloak that makes him disappear
We know this young wizard will enjoy his year
But it's more than one year - it's going to be Seven!
For the lovers of fantasy that sounds like heaven!
If you haven't yet read about Harry Potter
Well, you really ought 'ter!

MIDNIGHT BREAK IN

It was a beautiful, bright, sunny morning, and everyone was outside, having the time of their lives, for school was near. All except one boy on Privet Drive.

Harry Potter sat on his bed, locked in his room, waiting for his owl, Hedwig, to return. She had gone to deliver letters to Harry's friends four nights ago and still hasn't returned.

The Dursleys had gone to a summer party. They were probably having a great time, while Harry was in his room. The party was supposed to last until midnight. Harry started to feel sleepy, then the room went black.

This article will basically cover a few tips on how to cast the Killing Curse. It comes in very handy when muggles are being particularily noisy, specially after having been through the Cruciatus Curse. (both curses usually go hand in hand, unless you are in a hurry of course, then the Killing Curse is more efficient.)

Let's start with the three basic points: the Incantation, Power of Mind and Proper use of the Wand.

1) The Incantation
First of all and perhaps most important: THE SPELLING of the incantation. It is NOT "Aveda kabrada", "Abba Kabreda" or, as the muggles have utterly...

BELLATRIX
Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;
Then to your offices and let me rest.

The fairies sing:
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our queen.

Having once this juice,
I'll watch Bellatrix when she is asleep,
And drop the liquor of it in her eyes.
The next thing then she waking looks upon,
Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull,
On meddling monkey, or on busy ape,
She shall pursue it with the soul of love:
And ere I take this charm from off her sight,
As I can take it with another herb,
I'll make her render up her page to me.
But who comes here? I am invisible;
And I will overhear their conference.

Enter DRACO, PANSY, following him
