This text is not meant as critisism to anyone, but only to ponder how much wizards/witches really differ from muggles, and how much of it is only a trick of mind.

In HP related discussions and wikipedia sites, there are often speculations and thoughts painting the magical folk as more different from us than they actually are. I think such habit comes from how the books give a extreme general image; as if the two groups of people had some sort of basic difference with their entire existance.
And I think that somewhat misleading image comes from how no one of the main character trio grew up in...

Every body should read the harry potter series at least once. Millions of people of all ages around the globe have enjoyed the over 3,000 page harry potter series. If you haven't read any of the books or seen the movies you should read the books first and then the movies.Also you should hurry up and read the series!!! If you are to lazy to read the series at least read the first book. The harry potter series has a lot of excitement and drama or people who love that kind of book.There is probably over a million people who would agree with me.

Warner bro's and j.k Rowling have decided to let peple come to the Harry Potter studios ,where there is hogwarts ,diagon alley, hosmeade and anywhere else in the wizarding world . They show you how they do all the efects like how the brooms fly,the night bus and more.

They wanted hogwarts to look very real so they encouraged all the actors and actresses to carve their initials into the benches in the great hall and they hit the plates with a hammer to give them an authentic look.



I will be going to harry potter world so i will tell you how it was.

P.S I am not talking about the one in orlando this one is in london and it's the ACTUAL studio

"HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX" (2007) Review

I usually tried to avoid reading reviews of movies I am interested in seeing in the near future. Instead of relying on the opinions of others, I prefer to form my own opinions. However, my curiousity got the best of me and I could not help but read several reviews and opinions on the latest cinematic release from the HARRY POTTER franchise - namely "THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX". Mind you, the story was never my favorite HARRY POTTER novel, but after the near travesty (okay, perhaps that description is a bit exaggerated) . . . after the slight...

I was handing out candy for Halloween. A little boy dressed up as Harry Potter came by and as he was walking up the driveway he dropped his wand. I told him he dropped his wand and he looks at me and shouted “ACCIO WAND!” and twitched his hand (which had a string attached to the wand and to his finger) and his wand came shooting up to his hand. He got the rest of my halloween candy and 5 dollars.

Today I got stuck in traffic on my way home from work. Usually I hate traffic.. However, the van in front of me was showing Harry Potter on their TV screen. I love traffic today.

Many of us have different views on one particular character, Draco Malfoy. Since the first movie and book I thought Malfoy was an arrogant snob. when I think back to that time, I want to slap myself silly. Yes, he was a bully those first few years, but that's why most love to hate him. In the fourth movie I saw the more humorous side of Draco. I love how he votes for the Champion from Durmdtrang. In the book Draco states that Father wants him to go to Durmstrang. We can only imagine why. Personally, when I look back I feel that Lucius wanted to send Draco to Durmstrang so Draco wouldn't become...

Hello!

This is my Harry Potter fan fiction review.

Hermione's friend in her Muggle life has enter Hogwarts! Samantha Crane, her name, is a jealous, snobby girl who likes to bully Hermione in the past. Surprisingly, she's invited by McGonagall to become Hogwarts student for a week!

Harry, Ron and Hermione later knows the truth: Sam is planning to do something worse to Hogwarts, before the professors know it. Together, the trio struggle to prevent Sam's plan!

If you want to see it, see my profile on June. I'll post the link!

(PS: You can recommend better ideas.)

Bellatrix Lestrange was killed on May 2nd, 1998, during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Bellatrix came from the Black family. They were notorious for believing in blood purity - Bellatrix was no different. She was the epitome of blood-purity and the Death Eaters. She was even labeled the most loyal Death Eater.

Even though her views on the world would not give this away, she was very loyal to her family and those she cared for. We know she cared for her sister, Narcissa, from the beginning of the Half Blood Prince. Narcissa wanted to tell Snape of Voldemorts plans, when it was said that it was not...

"No!", screamed a woman standing in front of a crib begging a man in black not to kill her daughter. "Please, don't, don't kill her kill me instead!", she said. "Haha", laughed the man. "D'you think I'll spare her? after i kill you I'll be the most powerful wizard in the world! Now stand aside and help me do it, after all it'll be the last thing you'll ever do"

"I will never stand aside! Till MY LAST BREATH!", screamed the woman.

"what a brave MUDBLOOD do we have here? Do you want your little baby see you as you die? It'll be very hard for baby girl, isn't it?"

"well then let it be!"

Hogwarts News 11/7/10

Dear all students,
Hogwarts has some very interesting news for you all.

Last night Professor Dumbledore and Professer
McGonagall decided to get engaged. They plan to have their wedding in about 2 weeks.

Ronald Bilius Weasley has lost his rat, Scabbers. He came back to his dormitory to find an empty cage. He is very worried.

Ms.Norris got lost a few days ago and now we found out that she had been donated to a charity in Africa.

Professor Snape has been sent to the wizard police for examination.

Thank you, Hogwarts School News
I edited my last one, so check it out!

Suddenly, Dumbledore got up, and said, "Before we begin the feast, I would like to say a few words. "Precipice, departure, euthanasia. That is all." I wondered what that meant. Some of the older students looked a little worried, but then mumbled, "He is a little mad, yes." Suddenly, food appeared on the table, and not just any food, but all the food you could think of.
Turkey, corn, lobster, and my favorite, ♥sushi♥
I piled it on my plate. I ate each bite slowly, to savor the flavor. It...

Harry Potter strolled into the muggle play park and headed directly for the swings, he was certain that was where he would find them. A satisfied grin broke across his countenance as he caught sight of the two people he'd been searching for. There was Hermione clad in a pair of dark blue jeans, trainers and a hooded burgundy jumper pushing an excited Teddy on the swings. Harry grinned at the antics of his two year old godson. Andromeda had come down with a nasty bit of Hungarian Dragon Flu and Harry had quite naturally taken on the task of looking after little Teddy until she was feeling herself...

Did you know...
I don't know what will happen [for this story]later.
I started reading HP this year
I don't know why you're bothering with this
The cake is a lie!
It annoys me how when you write something, it always looks so long, but when you submit it, it comes out tiny.
Draco was supposed to- wait, wrong story
Pigfarts, Pigfarts,here I come! Pigfarts, Pigfarts, yum yum yum!

Hi!My name is Cherrie. I come from Hong Kong.I want to say something about you-know-who.
I know that you-know-who is very cruel and very dark. However, what made him to have these personality. I mean when he was a child, he was lonely and he did not know anything about magic and the wizarding world. He was confused. Therefore, he lost his controland caused the dark lord today.
In short, I want to say that the Dark lord is very cruel and dark,but there are some reasons that caused him to be a dark wizard.
I think the dark lord is very poor because he does not know love and thereis no love in his world. He is lonely.At the last moment of his life,he still did't know what is love and he didn't have any friend!
How about you? What do you think about you-kno-who? Can you think some reason that caused Tom Riddle to be a dark wizard?

Lily did not leave Severus's side until Madam Pomfrey said she had to sleep and could use the bed next to him. When Snape woke up he looked around wondering what happened. He looked out the windo, the moon was about to set. Then he saw Lily, covered in blood. She was laying on her back, head faceing away from him. He tried to sit up but it hurt to bad. "Lily?" he wispered. And that seemed to wake her up. She was at his side so fast he didn't see her move. "What happened to you?" he asked pointing at the blood all over her. Lily looked down for half a second. "You don't remember do you?" she...

And so now the hurly-burly's done, the battle's lost and won — the Battle of Hogwarts, that is — and all the secrets are out of the Sorting Hat. Those who bet Harry Potter would die lost their money; the boy who lived turned out to be exactly that. And if you think that's a spoiler at this late date, you were never much of a Potter fan to begin with. The outrage over the early reviews (Mary Carole McCauley of The Baltimore Sun, Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times) has faded...although the sour taste lingers for many fans.

It lingers for me, too, although it doesn't have anything to do...

Many of us are familiar with Harry Potter's Diagon Alley but somehow... it sounds weird to hear A Diagon Mall. I am a third year student taking up Advertising and we are assign think of a topic that suit our satisfaction. Our topic is about Thematic Branding and I am thinking about doing the Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Since the place is already a commercial place for the wizardy world I have decided to pick it up as my thesis. Now I would like to gather comments about my proposal about Advertising Diagon Alley and make it not just an ordinary place in a magical world.
