I have always wondered if there were other magic markets besides Diagon Ally in England. My Family and I were doing a HP party at Barnes and Noble and my mother was talking to another mom who was actually doing a HP week with her children. She mentioned to my mom about a HP magic shop in Los Angelous. We finally jumped in the car and did a loooong drive to Los Angelous.

The store is called Whinsic Alley. To have a look at them at www.WhinsicAlley.com . If you are interested after you read this reveiw you may have visit them at 2717 1/2 Wilshire Blvd.
What an amazing store!!!! This store wasn't...

This is a one-shot fanfic I wrote a couple of years ago, and is set at the end of The Goblet of Fire.
Hope you like it! :)

Harry felt so weak…happy…but weak. His worst possible enemy had been brought to immense power. What was he to do now? How was he supposed to live without having some fear inside him?
He sat, lonely and abandoned, on the damp grass in the wondrous Hogwarts grounds, running a hand through his medium length hair. He felt his scar with his fingertips as it tingled slightly from his touch. In his mind, Harry thought of himself as helpless, with no one on his side except for...

**This article includes minor SPOILERS and quatations from the books, so in case you have been living in a hole and don't know the ending yet, you might reconsider reading this.
Notice it is also purely opinional and any nerd-rant-ish style is not meant to offened.**

Since sorting has been introduced very early in the book, Harry learns about it from Draco before even going to Hogwarts, it seems like inseperatable part of Harry Potter Universe, a static thing that took place since the founding of our favourite Magical School (it is even in the Hogwarts' crest).
It was the base of some subplots,...

(this song was writen by me about cho and cedrics forbidden love. Hope you like it. Feel free to comment on other songs I can do in the future.)

I've heard that you
Moved on ever since
I was killed by the
Dark Lord

I've heard that now you
Love Potter
I guess you would fall for him,
He's more famous than I was.

Cho Chang, why'd you
Give up so fast?
Guess I'm dead anyway,
You have to move on.

I hate that I'm not allowed
to see you anymore, but I
I have to stay away,
I'm not invited.
I wish you could see my face,
and then you'll be reminded
THat for me,
It isn't over.
Chorus
You know that I'm the
One for you
I wish...

1. Dumbledore has absolutely no clue how to act like a muggle, so you should never encourage him to try

2. Secretly, Draco Malfoy is obssessed with reading fanfiction about himself

3. Secretly, Hermione knows how to shoot a gun, so if you're a Death Eater, you might as well surrender

4. Hermione couldn't be a party girl if she wanted to..she's too nerdy

5. Harry Potter has a passion for pottery (hence his last name, Potter)

6. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are secretly dating...oh yeah and they made out in the Chamber of Secrets during their 6th year

7. Harry Potter is emo

So, you guys may or may not be aware of the date (it IS summer after all) but it is July 31st! Date ring a bell? Yes? No? Maybe so? Well, July 31 is a special day for all Potterheads because it is..... *drumroll* Harry Potter's birthday! Yes, this is the day that the adventure began for that scrawny boy with untidy hair and green eyes. But of course, we can't forget that it's also J.K. Rowling's birthday as well. She's the one who started this all so she definitely deserves a proper recognition. Happy 48th, Jo! Finally, it is Neville Longbottom's birthday today. A member of the Silver Trio, Dumbledore's Army, and a true Gryffindor, Neville is also deserving for a proper birthday wish. We love all three of you!
I am writing another article about this subject as well, but I wanted another one, a more serious one, to call out to people and remind them to appreciate this day... because this is the day... it all started.

1 Find your wand wood. It's more "mother nature friendly" if you find a stick that's already on the ground. It should be at least ten inches long to leave room for cutting, and it must be straight. It should also be relatively thick so that it doesn't look ridiculous sanded down.

Step 2 Begin to whittle the wood. Using the knife, carefully strip the bark off the wood until it is bare.

Step 3 Carve your wood down. Your going to need to make a distinguishable handle, so take a good look at your wand-in-the-making, judge for yourself and start from there, carving the wand wood thinner as you make...

A little bit unusual kind of fan fiction, it's so small and even philosophical. So, hope, you'd enjoy :з


Its was a summer. Summer after the Hogwarts Battle. There was no that hapiness in children's faces, there was no life in adults' actions...
They were tired of that, even if Harry's won, they lost... They lost their homes, they lost their relatives, they lost the Sense.
Draco Malfoy was one of them. Of course, his family was nearby, but he felt himself completely alone, he felt that he did the wrong choice. Even if he Had to do that.
Now he was 18, so young to be important for the magic world, but old enough to be happy. Everything changed. He had never tried how it to be happy, but he had a voult in Gringotts and status in the highest society. Funny, isn't it? He had everything, but he'd lost himself.
Is it honestly?
No.
Is it life?
Yes.
Once he mistaked and now the Fate is revenging him in such violent way.
He is dying alive.

((You're all thinking I'm insane. Maybe I am. But that means you are, too. Besides, I highly doubt that this is the first fanfic of a fanfic.
By the way, all I own is Hailey Potter. The others own themselves.

With Harry Potter's firstborn son on the way, literally, Hailey sits him down to have a littlle chat. Could Harry finally be getting the family he always longed for? Or will their past troubles crowd out the possibility of a future?))



The Muggle hospital certainly wasn't the most encouraging environment for afather-to-be. Harry just would not sit still. At the moment, he was pacing the...

Dear Mr. Potter,
You have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
One sentence to change millions of lives, to begin a decade...

"Harry Potter...the boy who lived...come to die..."

One sentence to end-an era-a lifetime...everything.

"The stories we love best do live in us forever; whether you come back by page, or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."...

One sentence, to bring it all back.

Re-post if you will stick with Harry, until the very end. Until the spines of your books are weakened and the pages are falling out, until you're 80 years old...

Some interesting fun facts I found and wanted to share with you! Credit to the Harry Potter wiki:

The original last name for Neville's character was "Pupp"

If you rearrange the letters in "Severus Snape" you get "Pursues Evans".

The only autograph Harry ever gave out was to Colin Creevey.

Both Michael Corner and Harry have dated the same girls, but in a different order, Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley.

Harry Potter is still the only wizard to this day that has had all three Unforgivable Curses cast on him and survived.

David Thewlis had originally auditioned for the part of Professor Quirinus Quirrell,...

Finally, the truth. Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office where he had once thought he was learning the secrets of victory, Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive. His job was to walk calmly into the Death's welcoming arms. Along the way, he was to dispose of Voldemort's remaining links to life, so that when at last he flung himself across Voldemort's path, and did not raise a wand to defend himself, the end would be clean, and the job that ought to have been done in Godric's Hollow would be finished: neither would live, neither could survive....

When I came back to myself the only thing I could hear was his voice although all the people around were talking too.
I looked at him just for a moment, I needed his eyes, I needed to fell his eyes on me… and he knew it because he looked at me at that very moment.
Suddenly I had lost my ability to breathe…
I crossed the Noble Hall with a quickstep but when I reached the Staircase of Stone...

Harry Potter's Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardy
I'm a 3rd year student taking up fine arts major in advertising and as of now we are already preparing our thesis for the next semester. Our objective is to promote Thematic branding and our topic is all about fictional places. Good thing our professor gave us our freedom to choose whatever place we want as long as we enjoy working on it. In addition, our professor suggested us to make our own blog and collect comments, suggestions and information base on our chosen place.
Harry Potter has 7 book series which is one of the all time favorite...
