Finely grated rind of small orange
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbsp milk
Juice of 1/2 small orange

Lightly grease baking tray.
Sift flour and salt together.
Using pastry blender, cut margarine or butter into the flour.

I'll make this short but why did the movies do this. In the books Padma Patil was a ravenclaw while in the movies she was gryfindor.Now just like how Harry's eyes are green in the book and blue in the movie (yes I know Dan cant wear the contacts) but it is , in my opinion ANNOYING! Whats with all these stuff ups?
I mean in deathly hallows part one Harry was himself not barry. I mean WTF? Also in Prisoner of Azkaban in the quidditch match, cedric caught the snitch as Harry fell. But in the movies he got struck by lightning.
Obviously someone else in the world thinks that the movies stuff ups a little annoying. Does anyone agree/disagree i want to hear. (Please dont be offensive though and have ago at my intelligence, its happened before and quite annoying)also I know the movies are great so dont think i hate them.

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared by and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.
Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" said Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if you ever want to see your parents again you will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" said James.
"This doesn't add up" said Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." said James. "We will!" they all said in unison.

I first thought Harry Potter was really stupid. Then one day it was on Disney Channel and there was nothing else to watch so I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. At the end of the movie I was shocked. I LOVED IT!!! I got the whole series of books and got 1-5 the movies for Christmas. Now I read each book 3 times and probably know every single word for the movies 1-6. I am so crazy for harry potter that i did this. There was a harry potter and the half blood prince movie showing time at 3:00 a.m.!!!!!! Me and my cousin (18 yrs. old counsin) stayed up till 2:45 in the morning and went to go see harry potter 6 at 3 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so intrested in the movie i didnt even fall asleep. We were the only ones in the movie theatre
