Harry Potter Article: Thank You

posted by ChocoLuvr101

Thank You J.K. Rowling for writing Harry Potter, one of the best books I have ever read. Though I didn't grow up with HP (and I envy those who did) I am still grateful for deciding to read the book.

Thank You to the movie cast of the HP movies. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Ruper Grint, Tom Felton, Alan Rickman and the others for helping in bringing the HP story to life.

When I wtached Part 2, there were scenes that made me wanna stand up and scream "Hell yeah!" especially when they were preparing for the Battle of Hogwarts. But I did tear up when I saw Fred, Tonks and Lupin dead. And I tried to furiously try to conceal my tears when the screen started to fade to black on Harry, Hermione and Ron's faces. It still gives me a sad and heavy feeling in my gut.

I don't know how many times I'll say "Thank You". But Thank You to J.K. Rowling for Harry Potter, the movie crew for bringing the story to the big screen and fellow HP fans in supporting them through and through.

Though their story is coming to an end, Harry Potter shall never end for me. It shall live on forever in my heart. And I'm proud to be part of the Harry Potter Generation! Long Live Harry Potter! Thank You!

Remembering Dobby

posted by LifesGoodx3

Dobby died in March of 1998. He was killed when we was rescuing Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ollivander, Luna and Griphook the Goblin from the Death Eaters.

Dobby was a house-elf. They are servants to wizards. Magic ties them to their Master, so they must listen and do what their Master wants them to do. If they go against their masters commands, they must punish themselves with self-harm. The only way a house-elf can become free is if their master gives them a piece of clothing. Most house-elves would be devastated if they were given a piece of clothing, their freedom would be like an insult. However,...

Remembering Remus Lupin

posted by LifesGoodx3

Remus John Lupin died on May 2nd, 1998. He was killed during the Battle of Hogwarts, he was fighting beside his wife, Nymphadora Tonks. His life was cut short, in the time when he finally found happiness, when he finally had a family.

Remus was a werewolf from a very young age. The transformation from human to werewolf is a very painful thing, and he went through it once a month for a good portion of his life. He probably did not have very many friends until he arrived at Hogwarts. There, he met his accepting friends, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. During his time at Hogwarts,...

First Year, Harmony, Hermione's POV

posted by Kiana-M-McMahon

I sat at the Gryffindor table waiting for the sorting to end. I had already been sorted.
"Weasley, Ronald!"
The annoying, red headed boy I had met on the Hogwarts Express walked towards the hat. Professor McGaonagall put the hat on his head.
"Gryffindor!"
I groaned as he came to join us Gryffindors. One of the last was the famous Harry Potter. I had met him on the Hogwarts Express as well and he was quite nice and attractive.
"Potter, Harry!"
Harry walked up and the hat considered putting him in Slytherin. I crossed my fingers he would be in Gryffindor. I heard the sorting hat say something about...

REVIEW: Dylan's Deathly Hallows, Part I Q&A [SPOILERS]

posted by lovedrchase

1. How did Ron react to Hermione being tortured?: Irrationally... That entire scene was just how I imagined it in the books. The Malfoy mansion was absolutely perfect.

2. Were there peacocks?: there may have been... I didn't notice any. But it doesn't mean they weren't there.

3. Were Ron/Hermione done justice?: it was very clear that it was Ron and Hermione. The scene in the forest when Ron saves Harry's live while he's swimming underwater to get the sword of Godric Griffindor was amazing.

4. Was the locket scene like you imagined it would be?: When harry opened it, Voldemort played on Ron's fears...

Philosopher's Stone

Book 1 Mistakes
NOTE: Many of these book mistakes were corrected in later versions, so the mistake may not appear in your HP book.

* In Book 1, on page 27 (American paperback), it mentions that the snake in the zoo winked at Harry. Harry can't be blamed for being so surprised, as snakes don't have movable eyelids. Thanks, Bethany!

* When Hagrid comes and gets Harry out of the little hut on the rock, they use the boat that the Dursleys used to get to the rock. So how do the Dursleys get off the rock?

* On Harry's equipment list in the letter from Hogwarts, "1 wand" is listed twice. This was...

Renewal of Revenge

    Pant. Pant. Pant. The Disillusionment Charm I put on myself at the start of the battle was now wearing off. I was beginning to see the paled flesh of my hands. I’d better put on another one, I thought as I ducked behind a corner. “Occulto Existum.” I whispered— but just as I finished the incantation, I heard a voice.

Some interesting and totally unimportant information about Nearly Headless Nick

posted by vanillaicecream

1.In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nick says he had not eaten in nearly 400 years. Yet he had, at the time, already been dead for 99 years longer than that.
2.The Harry Potter timeline is based upon Nick's deathday party in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Having died in 1492, and celebrating his 500th death day, this ostensibly places the novels in the early to mid 1990s.
3.In the film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nearly Headless Nick is played by John Cleese. Cleese is most famous for his work with Monty...

The Dark Lord Returns (Chapter 1)

posted by BellaCullen96

This is a fanfiction about Lord Voldemort returning as a ghost, and he meets Albus Potter. I'm still working on it, but here's chapter one! And please don't steal my idea!

The Dark Lord tightened his hold on the Elder Wand. This was it; he would finally kill Harry Potter. “Avada Kedavra!” he shouted, aiming the spell at Potter. A green light burst from the tip of his wand, but at that moment, Potter had said, “Expelliarmus!” And so green and red collided. There was a flash, and Lord Voldemort fell. His spell had backfired, failing him; he was dead.
The next thing he knew, everywhere around...

Harry Potter Is Better Than Twilight

posted by SarahRabbit16

I know that this article may rise controversy, but whatever. Harry Potter is better than twilight. Stephenie Meyer didn't become the first billionaire simply by writing books; J.K. Rowling did!!! Harry Potter is just more....just more in every sense. You see, I have read both series-the "twilight" saga as well as the "Harry Potter and..." series. I love them both. But I have read Harry Potter since I was in elementary school, so I'm sorry that Harry Potter rules in taking over my life and making me squeal with excitement. The twilight saga has made me squeal with delight as well, but not as...

Things you may not know about: Albus, Minerva and Severus

posted by maja3322

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore:

- Before Albus became Headmaster, he was the Head of Gryffindor House, Transfiguration teacher and Deputy Headmaster.
- Dumbledore was made a Prefect in his 5th year and became Head Boy in his 7th.
- Albus was the one who invented the talking Patronus.
- It appears that Albus’ weapon of choice was fire. He used fire fighting of Voldemort in their only known duel, he burned Tom Riddles closet to prove that he was a wizard, and he used fire to keep Inferi away from himself and Harry in the Cave.

How To Really Enjoy a Harry Potter Movie...

posted by Priscilita22

[img1, right, medium]

I have decided to write this article because I've noticed that a lot of people have doubts about the Harry Potter movies.

First of all, let me say that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people call themselves "major Harry Potter fans" but have never read the books. I do not think that you can be a Harry Potter fan just by watching the movies, and I'm pretty sure anyone who has read the books will agree with me on this.

Having said that though, the other day one of my friends asked me:
"Why were the Harry Potter movies made?"
She asked this question because she felt like the movies "did not...

Harry Potter has stolen my soul ( and ripped it into 7 pieces)

posted by caintil31

Hello my name is Caitlin and I'm a Potter-holic.

Everyone has a story of how their Potter addiction started. My addiction started on 7/16/2005. It was the premier for book 6. I went to the premier for book 5 and attempted to read the book but it was too boring. So I was determined to read book 6. I never read any of the other books. I've only seen the movies. I started to read the book and I took it everywhere. I took it to summer camp and read all day. One day another girl at the camp came up to me and said," Oh my god, you're reading Half-Blood Prince! I just finished it. You know Dumbledore...
