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?

Harry Potter's latest cinematic adventure is already breaking box-office records, as the boy wizard encounters murder, betrayal and heartbreak at a theater near you. But a very different danger is plaguing his fans in cyberspace — where hackers are using the blockbuster to cast a spell on computers worldwide.

'Harry Potter' Actors React To 'Deathly Hallows' Epilogue taken by veritaserum.com

posted by gossipgirlstar2

And spawns?! that we still can't get behind. But for Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang, or at least, the actresses who play them, they're quite happy with their happily-ever-afters -- even if Jo didn't see fit to give us all the details in the actual book itself.

"We do know what happens with Luna," Evanna Lynch said when...

1. Learn something new!

It helps us learn something new every other time. From our vocabulary and Grammar, to slavery and discrimination, we learn about something new every other minute and we learn it completely. It teaches us both the advantages and disadvantages of every thing, not just the meanings and concepts. It also gives us the opinions from every direction. For example; We saw how the treatment of house-elves and werewolves differed with every person. Few could be accepting, few would show pity, and few others would be downright horrible to them. This also teaches us the practicality...
