Here (late) again!

So it's Friday again!
Still have upcoming exams, so I'm still a bit stressed and have barely used my virus-free computer, but anyway...

Nina, hope your toe will get better soon and Odette, be strong, the hand will eventually get better :)

Frankee: NO TEA?! seriously? Well, getting you a Christmas present is gonna be easy this year XD

Ch: I WANNA READ YOUR NOVEL!!! bwaaaaaa! *snif, snif* are you gonna publish it somewhere? Well, In Spain and latinamerica we start christmas on the 24th too, so I don't think its just a weir sweedish thin, though in my home town, Maracaibo (Venezuela), Christmas time starts on November the 2nd, when you put up your tree :D
You know what? PAPER TOWNS IN SPAIN: NADA! NIENTE! NOTHING! ZILCH! I go to like four bookstores about three times a week, every week, and do you think they have ANYTHING John Green?! argggg! *breath in, breath out* I think I'll write an email to John and Hank...

I'm not even gonna pretend like my deadline for this post doesn't end en...4 minutes.

Odette, Yay! finaly saw you, thanks for the pics, though I couln't read the whole post, it kept overlapping with Rons... cna't you re-post it?

Today is hogsome becouse...uhhh...ummm...yeah, it's Friday and that preaty much is all...

Just so you guys know, art school really isn't as easy as it's cracked up to be... seriously my drawing class midterm exam is to copy a bass-relief from real life into an A2 (big ass) paper. In ONLY TEN DAYS. And it's worth half of my grade. Physics and biology were soooo much easier.

Questions, Questions!

Refer to pages 706-707 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...what do you think the alien like thing is?

It could be an anti-abortion statement, but I can't believe you guys haven't gotten it right! It's very clearly a Crumple-Horned Snorkack! how you din't get that right away confounds me, seriously...
If you had to choose the next Hogwarts Headmaster after McGonagall, who would you choose?

... Snape is dead... and Lupin has a furry little problem and the ministry is prejudiced... Fred is dead, so that leaves...th gigant squid? no, no, no. Eureka! Flitwick (squick! and then boom!) :)

Which HP fansite is your favorite?

I'm really not that much into fansites, I'd rather watch vlogs or read blogs and get people's opinions on HP.

Which leads to my question: Is there any blog/s or vlog/s you like to watch/obsses about?

I'm not that obsessive, but I like to watch FiveAwsomeGirls, RoboFillet, LindsayBradley, JessicaLestrange, JerryHCooke and butterbeerwrocks (They broke up!) and read a couple of my friends blogs, but those are mostly in spanish :)

Well, fellow witches, read you soon, I'm off to se the wizard, Ehem I mean, I'm off to make photoshop art :D

Hey, would you guys mind checking out my deviantart page? I seriously nees feedback...

TTFN and DFTBA!
Kate

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hello! To those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving! I just ate a whole bunch of food and I am stuffed! I am so happy there is no school tomarrow! Tomorrow is also Black Friday and I am really excited to do some major shopping! Also, my foot is doing oh so much better. I even think there is some nail coming up :) Omg, Frankee, that is the coolest structure I have every seen! I would not mind to have a boulder fall on my foot if i got to climb that thing. Alrighty, so onto the questions.....
Refer to pages 706-707 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...what do you think the alien like thing is?
It does sound like an aborted child. That is so weird that J.K. Rowling described the creature like that. It definitely sounds like there's some hidden anti- abortion message or something. Epecially the way she says things like, "those acts of unspeakable evil" and "the attempted killing of a child." That was a major clue.
If you had to choose the next Hogwarts Headmaster after McGonagall, who would you choose?
I would love to say Snape. Too bad he isn't alive... I would either say Hagrid or Flitwick. It would be so great to have Hagrid as headmaster. It just sounds brilliant, Headmaster Hagrid...

Which HP fansite is your favorite?
I actually don't visit many HP fansites. So I do not have a favorite.

My Question
If you listen to Wizard Rock, what is your favorite band?
Mine would definitely be Draco and the Malfoys. Even though I don't really like Draco, the band is amazing! I really love the lyrics to their songs and they're just really catchy :)

I'll see (read?) you tomarrow Kate :]
Love ya guys!
Nina.

no school!

Ah. I'm tired. But it's only 8:45pm.
Anyways..
my day.... lazy. (: finally . needed a BREAK. It's Thanksgiving tomorrow so my school only had a 2 day week. I took some cool photography pictures.(I've become obsessed lately.). You know what I want? A polaroid camera. Not the brand- but the ones where you take a picture and develops it instantly? That'd be pretty sweet.

So, sorry, but the rest of this post may be quite long.

Nina- hope your toe is ok? XD My cousin had a big boulder fall on her toe while trying to get ontop of this during the middle of the night:

Ch- Ah, Paper Towns! I'm trying to get my school to get it just so I can know more people who have read it. I already own a copy (signed by john!)(I just saw him and Hank like a week and a half ago...did I talk about that?) And I actually have Harry, a History right now. It's sitting open on my bed. I'm on the chapter about Harry and the Potters. It's really interesting, but it makes me sad I didn't get involved in the fandom sooner.(& you're lucky you get Christmas a day sooner! I have to celebrate Christmas and Chanukah..long story.)

Odette- Your name reminds me of pokemon. Sorry about your hand! Get better soon! No fansites!? I only check two of them for news. & then - I'm going to cut myself off because I'm going to have to explain again in the questions . :]

Kate- Eek. Viruses. My brother just had a big trojan virus and didn't have a computer for a month. DOESN'T THE NEXT MOVIE LOOK AMAZING? Does Warner Bros. think that the trailers will tie us over until July? Psshh. It's making me want to see the movie sooner. Lmao @ what you would do at Hogwarts. and Ohh.. I wanted to watch youtube live. Me and my friend had a big bowl of popcorn and comfy chairs and stuff.... and then the picture wouldn't show up on my computer! D: Oh well. I heard it was cool, though.

questions....
Do you think that Twilight will be bigger than Harry Potter?
No. Harry Potter has a move vast and solid fanbase. Most of the twilight fans are teenage girls or their mothers who all have crushes on Edward. Well, that's a stereotype. I read twilight over a year ago, and liked it, but I didn't fall in love with Edward(he annoyed me with his cheesiness) and I wouldn't read the books again. I can read Harry Potter over and over, though. We have people of all ages..from 4 to 80(those numbers were totally made up.) & Twilight isn't really original..and the characters aren't very..i don't know..they don't have a lot of depth in my eyes. In HP there's something for everyone. In Twilight there's just the ever-so-common-vampires-loving-humans-but-oh-no-it's-forbidden plot.

Which HP fansite is you favorite?
mugglenet, hands down.
but I also go on Potter Forums when I'm bored. (:

If you had to choose the next Hogwarts Headmaster after McGonagall, who would you choose?
Hahah, Odette, nice choice with Flitwick.
This is a tough question.. I would love to say Snape, but he might be unfair to some students and not to mention he's dead.
Trelawny would make a hilarious headmistress.
I don't know..I might just have to say Flitwick, too!

my questionnnnnnn.

drum roll, please.

hold on, I have to think of it..

Refer to pages 706-707 in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...what do you think the alien like thing is?
I'm asking this question because I'm trying to collect stuff on how Harry Potter has examples of real life in it.(for a project in english class.)
The first thing that popped into my head was an aborted baby... any thoughts or other ideas? (:

it you don't have the book here's parts of the passage:
"He had spotted the thing that was making the noises. It had the form of a small, naked child, curled on the ground, its skin raw and rough, flayed-looking, and it lay shuddering under a seat where it had been left, unwanted, stuffed out of site, struggling for breath." & then on 709 "he was distracted by the whimpering and thumpering of the agonized creature behind them" OOO and it also says "He had rendered his soul so unstable that it broke apart when he committed those acts of unspeakable evil, the murder of your parents, the attempted killing of a child" Am I picking up anti-abortion vibes here? or is it just me? *feels smart for discovering this*(althought i'm probably not the first one)

See ya tomorrow, Nina!

Oh, and, House of Awesome for the win.

In which Kate'll plead for her life

YES, I KNOW.
REALLY, I DO.

I'm not getting nominated for Blogger of the Year.

But anyway, NO, My dog did not eat my computer. The viruses did.

So, sorry I couldn't post, I'm barely using my computer as it's virus-loaded, and next week just happens to be the start of finals before Christmas break :( So, yeah, It's a bit hectic right now, but it'll be over soon... I hope.

I'm taking a little break right now from studying and.... Who am I kidding? I JUST WATCHED THE TWO NEW HARRY POTTER TRAILERS!!! *Squee!*

And I haven't read your last entries, but As soon as I finish this tardy entry I'm gonna catch 'em all! ;D

As for questions...

Do you think that Twilight will be bigger than Harry Potter?

Hmmm, I don't know, because Harry Potter is something we kinda grew with (at least me) and it was good then and it's still good now, but Twilight is more part of my young-adulthood (is that even a word?) and it's good too but... seriously, I just kept reading it becouse of Jacob, Alice and Emmett... and Charlie, of course! :D but yeah, topping The Potter is like... topping Grimm fairy tales ;)

Which set of book covers do you like best?

Hmmm, I've just seen the Latinamerican, UK and American editions, but the latinamerican editions by Salamandra (Newt :)) are my favorite becouse they were the first I knew.
So... Vòila!
If you could visit Hogwarts for day, what would you do?

Two things:

1) Recite every candy I know of to get into Dumbledor's office (and hope I don't guess right so I can blast that smug statue) to spray paint in neon pink on his walls "ALBY + GELLIE 4 EVA!" ;D I'm insane, I'm aware of that :)

2) Go down to the dungeons and have my wicked way with my potions master :D

What do you think about the new HBP trailer?

Ha, I watched it a couple of minutes before checking the questions section :) but all I can say is: AWSOME!... and SQUEE!!!
looks better than the actual book...

Anyway, Cya guys soon!

And today is a Hogsome day becouse... I'm watching Youtube Live! :D

Love ya guys!
DFTBA!
Kate

P.S.: DON'T KILL and/or MAIM ME. please?

[11/25/08] In whic my hand aches a lot.

So as my hand can only type so much without giving up I am jumping straight into the questions.
Which covers do you like the best?

I am pretty fond of the dutch covers...

I am a Mass Comm nerd so I analyze them and this one follows the rules of design well without being too safe, imo.

Do you think Twilight will be bigger than Harry Potter?

No. First off, I think Twilight is a stupid book series because the writing is poor and the story is unimaginative. So the fanbase is pretty much composed of 15 yr old girls who think Edward is their boyfriend. There is nothing wrong with fictional bf, mine is Kartik or young Remus. But you have to like the book for more reasons than it has a dreamy character. Our Fanbase is much stronger. We like Harry Potter for many reasons. Some love theadventure. Some love the magic. Some love the writing. Others? Who knows? We all love it for different reasons. Not just because young Remus Lupin is dreamy.

Which HP fansite is you favorite?

I don't go on the fansites, at all. That is kinda sad.

Now for my question from last week, which is now my question from this week. If you had to choose the next Hogwarts Headmaster after McGonagall, who would you choose?
Flitwick. I think he showed some stuff in the final battle that we didn't know he had. So did others but Sprout would never be a hardass and we don't know enough about the other teachers.

So yes my hand got smashed in a door. It hurts so I have to stop typing.

See you tomorrow Frankee,
Odette

November 24th.

Happy Monday!

I got Paper Towns last week, and I finished it last Thursday, so you can talk to me about Paper Towns now. I loved it, it was absolutely fantastic.
However, I would like to be slightly more on topic and talk about another book I got last week and just finished reading.

Harry, a History
If you haven't heard of it, it's by Melissa Anelli, the awesome webmistress of The Leaky Cauldron. The book tells the story of the fandom and her life in it, and it's so effing awesome and it makes me so squeefull! Go read it.

I've been home sick (or rather just extremely exhausted and in need of a break) today, which resulted in me reading one of my friends' blog, which goes way back, and I read a bunch of her Harry Potter related posts, and on top of reading Harry, a History, it made me miss the days we were out of the know. And I wish I'd been more active! I was never active online the year leading up to DH, and I just want to go back in time and kick me!
Anywho, it's only a month until Christmas now. Or at least for us Swedes, since we're weird and start Christmas on the 24th instead of the 25th...

Questions!

Which covers do you like the best?
Okay, first of all, I HATE the British covers. They're yuck. I mean, just look at the first book! The British cover for Beedle The Bard is nice though, I'm actually glad we're getting that one in Sweden. Btw, I'm not sure, but there doesn't seem to be coming a Swedish translation of Beedle The Bard, at least not for now. Which I am kind of happy about, since that means a certain woman no one in the Swedish fandom likes won't get to butcher it! But on the other hand, little kids who aren't capable to read it in English should get their chance to read it too.

But anyway, back to the question! the American ones are really nice. I want to have all the American edition in hardback on my shelf as well as the my British and Swedish and one German :P I'll get to that next year.

But the Swedish ones are also pretty good. That's the thing I like about the Swedish version. That and the smell. I don't know why, but the Swedish versions have this smell from the ink or something, and it makes me really sentimental, to think about the days when I'd only read the books in Swedish...

So I'm deciding to go with the Swedish cover of PS/SS as my absolute favorite. I also like the last one, but the color is different on the title which makes me kind of sad.




Do you think Twilight will be bigger than Harry Potter?
Hm, I don't think so. I don't want to be one of those HP fans who bitches about Twilight and hates it just because the Twilight fandom is doing the same thing as we've done and we're jealous. But seriously? I don't hope so.
But, I have read all the books except Breaking Dawn (I have it already, I've just not been able to bring myself to read it. Maybe I will read it for English so I can hate it in front of my class! :D), and I just don't like it. Sure, the plot is exciting and it's not boring, but the writing is not that good. And I really don't like Edward. He is creepy and I hate what he does to Bella (I like strong female characters, like McGonagall...), and the fact that every single guy on the planet seems to like her, even though she's oh, so ugly and stupid.
Sorry, I don't mean to offend any Twilightfan! You have the right to like Twilight as much as I have the right to like Harry Potter.
But, to answer the question, I don't really want the fandom to be as big. And it also seems that the fandom of Twilight didn't really have the time to grow as big as the HP one until the books were all out. I don't know, it just seems like there was this Twilight hysteria a few months ago, but then Breaking Dawn came out. The Harry Potter fandom had ten years to be out of the know, waiting for the seventh book and so on.
And I see HP and Twilight (is there a short for that?) as two very different series, and, to me at least, HP has more depth to it.
But I think that answers the question.

My question! Which HP fansite is you favorite?
I just need to take a brief moment from this blogpost, which is already becoming very long (sorry), to bitch about a Swedish HP fansite. I just googled Beedle The Bard Sweden (to check if there was anything about a translation) and it came up. It's the biggest HP fansite in Sweden, and it's horrible. I looked around on it and it made me nauseous. It's updated, like once a month, if you're 'lucky', and they don't check their sources or anything that you'd think the biggest fansite in the country would do. And the fact that they called Jo's 800-word 'Prologue' a book just makes me want to cry at it's patheticness.

But anywho, PayPal is a bitch, and have an awesome week!
The one who has too many nicknames to be named...aka the Slytherin girl.

OH MY!

Ok, so today was almost the grossest(sp?) day of my life. A door hit my big toe and the nail fell off. There was a lot of blood and it hurt like hell. On the brightside I got to go home:] Now to the questions....

"Do you have a plushie/stuffed being/inanimate object which has a name and a personality?"
Yes. I have a lot of stuffed animals because my talent in life is the crane machine:) I do have two very special ones though. One is an elephant named Ellie and the other is a dolphin/ blanket name Christie. I <3 them!

"What do you think about the new HBP trailer?"
One word: Amazing! I really liked it and I'm super excited for the movie! I am definitely going to the midnight showing.

"Which covers do you like the best(ex: uk,american..) and what is your favorite one from that set?"
I love all of the covers! My favorite American cover is the collection edition of Order of the Phoenix and I really like the Deathy Hallows UK cover. I also love the covers for the first book.

My question:
Do you think that Twilight will be bigger than Harry Potter?
I bring this up because a lot of people are saying that Twilight will be way bigger than Harry Potter and will spark a whole new phenomenon. However in my opinion, as much as i love Twilight, NOTHING can top Harry Potter!
Ciao for now,
Nina <3

oh noo.

I seriously thought that yesterday was Wednesday and was freaking out about being late.
So, what's up?
I saw John&Hank&Katherine last night, on the last stop on the tour de nerdfighting.
It was great. (:
Umm..what else?
Ooo, my mom went to London and came home with a copy of Deathly Hallows for me (adult cover).

I might get a wand for christmas.. (I actually really want one of the ones that light up when you flick it..) .. wonder what my brother and sister will say xD

"If you could visit Hogwarts for a day, what would you do?"

Oh wow, I really don't know. I'd run around like crazy, trying to go everywhere. I would really want to take a peek in the forbidden forest and go to the top of a tower.

"Do you have a plushie/stuffed being/inanimate object which has a name and a personality?"
Yup. I've had a large teddy bear named Sarah since I was 4, and she's the only stuffed animal I really keep out in the open in my room. She's been through a lot though (ex: my twin brother throwing up on her when we were 5)

"What do you think about the new HBP trailer?"
OMG I LOVED IT XD
I freaked out when I saw it. I was seriously on the verge of tears (excitedness, and sadness/anger that we have to wait so long!!)

Odette, I can't read your post!
Ahh!(it's overlapping Ron's)

Is that all the questions?
I am unsure.
Anyways, I have to run off to school now!
oh wait, question....
"Which covers do you like the best(ex: uk,american..) and what is your favorite one from that set?"
yeah.
ok.
BYE!

[11/18/08] Epic Fail.

My friend Sarah chose that title because she is reading 'Epic Fails'. Do not question the Sarah.

So Kate, here is a picture of me last spring:

And here is probably the most recent image of me in video form:



What do you think your patronus would be? Geez, I have no clue. do you know how much I have mulled this over and failed at an answer? I really like Flamingos but that does not embody my love so I do not really know...

If you could visit Hogwarts for a day, what would you do?
Find a time turner. :)

Do you have a plushie/stuffed being/inanimate object which has a name and a personality? Yes too many to name but most of the things that i get now I name Percival Wulfric Brian!

What do you think about the new HBP trailer? I love it! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!

Who out of the Hogwarts teachers would you chose to be the next headmaster? I would choose Flitwick! Not that I am biased with the Ravenclaw stuff... But I think he would be really goood....

I have no time left so I am ending here..

See you tomorrow Frankee!

Odette!

November 17th.

It's Monday again! The weeks go by fast, I can't believe it's NaNoWriMo week 3 ;o

Speaking of which, Kate asked where you can find my NaNoWriMo novel and the answer is you can't, if you don't steal my computer. I'm to self conscious to put it up as I can't allow myself to reread and edit, so, yeah. Maybe when I've read through it all. I'll let you know.
As for how to Swedishly pronounce Ch I believe two of my friends say it in this video at around 24 seconds in.

So, on to the questions!

Who is your hardcore ship?
I don't really have a hardcore ship, but I do think Remius (SB/RL) is an awesome one. It's not denied! I think HG/RW is my favorite canon one, since it's been kind of meant to be since forever ;)

What do you think your patronus would be?
I have no idea. I really like cats, and I kind of identify with them in some ways, so maybe a cat.

If you could visit Hogwarts for a day, what would you do?
I would so go to the library! And run around in the castle, led by the staircases ;)

Do you have a plushie/stuffed being/inanimate object which has a name and a personality?
I don't. I had a few when I was younger, but I'm really bad at committing to those kinds of stuff.

Yesterday I was at a NaNoWriMo writing gathering. It was really fun, and we talked about HP a lot!

So, have you seen the HBP trailer that came out some days ago?
I love it. For some reason it makes me really want to see it in November. Not because it was supposed to come out then (this Friday...), but because I kind of like seeing the movies in
November/that time of year. Seeing them in the summer is just...too hot. I don't know, I'm just weird xD
So my question is What do you think about the new HBP trailer? If you haven't seen it, you can find some downloads here (and record yourself seeing it the first time if you can! Watch my incredibly boring reaction).

So, I think that was all. Oh, I'm thinking of starting to blog some on my own in English (so Kate doesn't have to learn Swedish), when the NaNoWriMo craziness is over. I'm already forgetting Swedish spelling and grammar rules, so...

Anywho, have an awesome week my dear wloggers! I'm gonna go and make some tea and continue to work on my NaNo (totally denying the fact that I'm probably going to fail the Chemistry test I have tomorrow...)

DFTBA!

- Ron/Ch/younameit.

Friday - Kate is now 17!

So yeah, it was my seventeenth birthday yesterday, and gosh! I'm pretty sure I'm now officially the eldest blogger in this project (do I get a medal, diploma or something?).
And well, besides that, yesterday I went to the beautiful town of Toledo (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain) on a school trip and the night before I had stayed up 'till 2am to finish blingging my awsome self-blingged nerdfighter purple hoodie of which I'm very proud of and... yeah, a shout-out to nerdfighters in Europe and The World!

I was re-reading this weeks entries and I have a couple of thing to mention:

• Frankee: really like you profile pic, and I really want a guitar hero (and a playstation for that matter). I also really like Francesca, but how do you feel about Franks or Cesca. Just curious ;)
  
• Oddette: aww why can't I find a pic of you anywhere? Emazing... hmm, has a nice ring to it. Oh, no! how cruelly shall I get punnished? I suggest you give me a week's worth of detention in the dungeons with the potions master, that'll teach me realy good ;D Oh, and as Self-Proclaimed Queen of the Bibliophiles, I demand that you get more sleep! seriously, Not-sleaping may seem fun, but trust me, after 50 stright hours up, I doesn't seem cool anymore.
  
• Nina: awww, don't crash from your life high, keep flying ;) and dear Salazar, there's going to be an effing theme park?!?!?! *fangirl squee*
  
• Ron: Where can I find your NaNoWriMo novel? and I really want to know how to sweedishly pronounce Ch, It's really got me scratching my head :S heard The Swedish Shortsnoutssong you mentioned: really good and totally agree! oh, and as soon as I learn sweedish, i'll read your blogs :D
  

This blog thing is turning out to be far more entretaining than I thought, so much so that I opened a 2 comunity blogs with my friends, one on a diary/daily rant type-thing The Freaky Week and the other is an incoursion into classic films, music, poetry Abra Cacharra!... They're both in spanish, but I do have my own blog Bookberry Fields Forever in english, I promise I wont be mad if you check it out! ;D

On to the questions!

What do you think your patronus would be?
Hmm, good question. I'd like it to be an emmerald boa or a black panther or an artic tiger, but I have to admit it to myself: I'd be a white rabbit. Why? well I have a much loved stuffed animal, he's a white rabbit, he whares a tuxido and he's named Don Vitto (it was my Godfather phase). He's not a nice bunny, no! He's the head of carrot dealers and... yeah, he's cute.

Who is your hardcore ship?

For the last year or so... Snarry (yes, Snape + Harry).
I don't care what people think, they're both my favorite HP characters and they are very

sexy cute together :)

What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the piblic? Are you excited?

Yes, very! That's going on my Christmas wishlist right below peace fot the world.
Seriously I really like fairytales and I just hope this lives up to everyone's expectations.

And my question, even if it's not HP related: Do you have a plushie/stuffed being/inanimate object which has a name and a personality?

Today is This week was Hogsome becouse it's Friday and... I didn't have classes yesterday (student strike) and it was my birthday and I got tickets to the Cirque Du Soleil and I went to Toledo and missed a school day :D

Ron, see you on monday!
DFTBA!
-Kate, The Self-Proclaimed Queen of the Bibliophiles, etc. etc. Hurray everybody!

Thursday- i just crashed from a "life high"

Yup, that's right, I was just high on life :] I don't really know what to call it but I was extremely happy about life and everything for the whole day. Now I'm back to normal lol. Today was a really good day though. I can't really explain it. All the little things today came together and made it a great day.

OUESTIONS!

What do you think your patronus would be?
My patronus would probably be a unicorn or an otter. Both are very carefree and playful. That's exactly how I am. I just love to be free and go with the flow. I'm definitely a free- spirit and love to have fun. I also love to swim like an otter!

Who is your hardcore ship?
um. I'm not exactly sure what a hardcore ship is. But, based on the other answers I'm thinking it's the best relationship? I'm just gonna say Ron and Hermione...

What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the piblic? Are you excited?
Heck yes I'm excited! It's like a continuing of the Harry Potterness and I am all for it!

My Question!
If you could visit Hogwarts for a day, what would you do?
I personally would irst tour the castle and grounds and then go have Oliver Wood teach me how to play quidditch! Man, that would be the best day of my life!

Anywho....

I'm also excited for the theme park to open in 2010. I'm saving up for the trip already :) I also agree on the whole Margo thing. TYpIng oR WRitIng likE tHIs is ANNOYING! I don't care if you think it's unfair to the other letters. Letter don't have feelings!

Ok, talk to you guys later!

PEACE!

Nina<33

Wednesday. Hump day. Whatever you wanna call it.

blehh. I am so tired! & it's only 4:41 in the afternoon!
hmm.
so.
here's what I like to call random things that have been going on in my life:
-I'm thinking about writing a pretty long paper on how HP relates to the real world for extra credit in English. Good idea/Bad idea?
-I . Hate . The . Weather .
-You know How margo Capitalizes All weird? Or do you not? (READ PAPER TOWNS IF YOU HAVEN'T) anyways, it annoys me. (:
-back to hp related stuff.
-I'M SO EXCITED FOR 2010! Aren't you? The theme park in Orlando? It looks so amazing. Hopefully I'll have a job by then and I can pay to go there..

Questions:
"What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the public? Are you excited?"
Yes, I'm excited! I want to read all of the other wizarding fairy tales. I think it shall be amazing. I am, however, more excited for the Half-blood Prince movie.

"Who is your hardcore ship?"
I'm not exactly sure. I really like Hermione&Ron and Neville&Luna..but I also like Ginny&Neville. Hermione/Harry kind of annoys me.

[11/11/08] In which Odette is much more tired than she thought possible...

Hey guys!

So wow! We had our first week! A couple things, comments, they are nice. I think every body loves them. Our two who must be punished. I am trying to think of something but I am a little worried because I am going to get punished most likely on my other blog.

SO my Happening weekend was EMAZING! (Yes, E-mazing, it is my new word, long story...) I was a small group leader and my group was the most emazing I could ask for.

Questions

Have you ever been/are you going to go to an HP convention? Sadly no. One of my best friends went to Terminus which made me jealous. But I really want to go to one next summer but I have no clue how.

Who is/ are your favorite character(s) and why? REMUS LUPIN! (Side note: At Happening we were supposed to bring a stuffed animal and I forgot mine so I made the ghost of Remus Lupin out of tissues!) He is probably one of the jokesest characters because he is just so cool. I know that answer is an undigested lump but I am REALLY tired.

What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the public? Are you excited? I cannot wait! I want it for my birthday!

My Question for this week: Who is you hardcore ship? I love Remius! Those two are meant to be. Even if you think that Remus has to be bi before you will believe it, you have to admit the evidence is incontrovertible!

So that will be it for me!

See you tomorrow Frankee!

November 10th.

Hey, wloggers, it's Monday again!

I'm gonna answer some questions ;)

Have you ever been/are you going to an HP convention?
I have not been to a HP convention yet. I really wanted to go to Erised 08 (a swedish HP convention), but unfortunatley I was in Oxford when that took place. The organizers of that convention are having another one next summer, Patronus 09, which I'm hoping to be able to attend. The swedish conventions are in a smaller scale, so they're not that expensive. It's just a matter of being home.
It would be really cool to go to a convention in the US, but I don't have a lot of money, so that's pretty impossible at the moment.

Who is your favorite character?
I don't really have a favorite character like a lot of people I know have (I know quite a few Snape fangirls...), but I think I have to say that my favorite character is Fred Weasley. It killed me when he died :/

Why do you fit into the house you belong in?
I don't really know how I ended up in Slytherin. I think I'm a Slytherclaw, really, cuz I don't have all of the Slytherinabilities. When people who aren't big HP fans see me with a Slytherin scarf (I wear it quite a lot), they always ask me why I'm a Slytherin, because they don't see me as "one of the bad guys". But I'm pretty ambitious and I know what I want, so I guess that's my answer.

When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obsessed?
I remember one Christmas when I was six years old (so it was 1999), and my grandparents had given me a gift card for a bookshop in their town. I went to the bookshop with my parents, and I remember I saw the british cover of Philosipher's/Sorcerer's Stone, and thought it didn't look very nice. The swedish covers are pretty nice though. Anyway, I bought the first HP book in swedish. I read the first chapter on a mattress in my grandparent's basement, and I fell asleep in the middle of it. Later when I reread it I didn't remember reading the first chapter, hehe.
Anyway, I don't remember most of the years between now and then, but I got the third book from my other grandparents a few years later. I hadn't read Chamber Of Secrets yet, so I guess I wasn't that obsessed at that time.
But I think it was about that time I really got in to the books.
When I was eleven, I got the fifth book as a birthday present from my grandparents. The swedish translation of it hadn't been released yet, and I hadn't read too much in English before, so I couldn't read it all.
The first book I read when it first came out was Half Blood Prince. Then I waited in line for the midnight release of Deathly Hallows, which was awesome. I got into wizard rock about a year ago, about the same time as I waited in line for the swedish translation of DH (haha, we non-English people get two releases! Not that the translations are that good...), and if everything goes right, I'll be waiting in line for Tales Of Beedle The Bard in December!

Which leads me to my question; What do you think about Beedle The Bard getting released to the public? Are you excited?

And lastly, I need your help. One of my friends says you can't be a nerd! He thinks nerdfighting is unnecessary or something, and he thinks is weird that I'm proud of being a nerd. What should I tell him?

Anywho, that's all I've got for today. Hope you're doing awesome!

Novemeber 6th, 2008 (actually 7th but its supposed to be on the 6th!)

Hey this is Nina. First of all, I would like to say how sorry I am! My computer totally messed up and i couldn't get my post written yesterday. Urgh. So yea you guys can punish me if you wish.



On a lighter note, despite my lateness I am extremely excited for this project! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a 15 year old high school student. I am a sophmore and curently reside in the Evergreen State (Washington), USA.



I first got into Harry Potter in about the second/ third grades. I remember I had bought the set of the first three through a scholastic catalog and was pretty much hooked after that. Harry Potter was pretty much what got me into reading. I was such a horrible reader before I started reading the books and now reading is almost all I ever do. You could say Harry Potter is my savior :]] I fit into the house I am in because Cedric Diggory was in it, so this must be the house for me. I'm totally kidding lol. Even though Cedric is one of my favorite characters, I believe that I fit into this house because I am definitely loyal and a VERY hard worker. I'm actually a very well rounded person. I pretty much could fit into all of the houses. I am proud to be a HufflePuff though! On tot he next question. No, I have never been to an HP party. Sadly I have not attended any HP conventions and did not attend any midnight book releases :[ I always wanted to go to them, but without a car it's kind of hard to get to these sort of things.



To say a little more about me I have to tell you about another project I am in. I'm in a little thing called THEAWESOMENINGJAS! We just started about three weeks ago and are a vlog project on youtube. Everyone pretty mush rants about random things and we talk a lot about books. Everyone shoudl definitely check it out. I'm also Thursday on the project.



Ok, now for my question. I said in the beginning of my post that one of my favorite characters is Cedric Diggory. My other favorite character is Ron Weasley. I like him because he's always there for Harry and is a really good friend. He's also very funny and has amazing red hair! So, my question would be who is/ are your favorite character(s) and why. Thats all for now. Talk to you guys soon!

I <33 You Guys!
-Nina!

Six minutes

Ohhh nooooooo! It's friday night and it's four minutes before I get punished for time limit surpasing!

Well, Jolly good evening, I'm Kate and I'm Ms. Friday or Ms. Gryffindor.

I normally wouldn't have posted soooo late, but It was my friends birthday and I just got home.

(one minute!)

-------------------------

NO! just when I had a WHOLE minute to finish writting this entry and posting it,
my computer crashes and 16 hours later, my dad sees it fit to help me get it sarting up again.

Oh well, I was gonna get punished anyway, but the post must go on!

This is newbie week and even though I'm not much of a fan of 'about me' sections, I'll get it outta the way.

My name is Kate and I'm an highschool art major in Madrid, Spain.
It's my last year of highschool and after 15 years of saying I wanted to be a fashion designer, suddenly I'd much rather be a graphic designer, or as I found out yesterday, a filmmaker.

But either way, I'll think of something.

Q&A

When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obssesed?

It was my first day of fifth grade and we we're introducing ourselves and talking about our hobbies, and when I said that i liked to read, my teacher asked me if I read Harry Potter, and I hadn't, but was curious as to who was Harry Potter?
So one day i want to the library and bought the first book. The movie came out and I was enchanted, three more books later, I was a junkie awiting the next book.
It was just the thing that I didn't know I was looking for, but when I discovered it, my world changed.

Why do you fit into the house you belong in?

As a little girl, I wanted to be in Gryffindor, like Harry.
When I was older, I wanted to be in Slytherin and have a certain potions master very close to me.
My friends say I should be in Ravenclaw, becouse I get high scores in school and I'm very bookish and smart.
But I think I'd actually fit better into Hufflepuff. Why? becouse there I wouln't have to be just bookish and knowledge hungry or just cunning and sly or just brave and brash. I could be loyal, hard working, and over all: me.
I could be all those things and more, and I'd fit in perfectly becouse people wouln't expect me to be a certain way, to fit into a mold. I could be totally unpredictible and unconventional.

Have you ever been/are you going to go to an HP convention?

Sadly, no, I haven't been in at a Harry Potter convention, you see, the chances of there being one in Maracaibo, Venezuela (my home town) were slim to none, leaning heavily on the none.
And now I live in Spain, but there aren't a lot of specific book conventions, or at least that I know of, but if I there were, I'd be camping outside their door for sure.

Well, my laptop crash yet again when I was gonna upload this, so I'll leave it at here for today.

Godbye and good weekend!

Introduction
Soo, I shall introduce myself first, too. My name is Francesca(fran-chess-kuh) but I find it a heck of a lot easier for people to call me Frankee(even though I don't really like it). I'm 15, and from Minnesota, USA. It's pretty and all here, but I kind of want to get out and move somewhere else..

To answer the questions:
When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obssesed?
I read my first Harry Potter book in 3rd grade.(8 years old.) I read the first three then, which were the only ones out, and read all the rest when I got them. For some reason I never went to prerelease parties, and now I really regret that. I played the TCG game, saw all the movies the first day. I also, when I was about 9, me and my twin brother would have sticks and casts curses at each other. The sad thing was is that I had the 4th book, and knew where to find 3 spells at once, so we only used the unforgivable curses... ooo, we also had the couldron set! Yeah, so I got into the HP stuff a long time ago. The sad part, though, is that I only really found out there were so many other fans(online and stuff) less than a year ago, and don't really know that many HP fans.(which is obviously one of the reasons I joined this!)

Why do you fit into the house you belong in?
I'm in house awesome because I just had a conversation with the person who sings "house of awesome" in person.

My first wrock show..
I've fantasized about going to a wrock show for awhile now, but there is never anything in this lonely old state. I finally got to go to my first one today! [great timing, eh?] Anyways, it was the Whomping Willows and JFF. There were only like 10 of us fans, but it was still cool. Especially where the place was. It was in this independant book store, the Wild Rumpus, with animals everywhere. Chinchillas and cool birds to a chicken and a cat with half a tail. Yup. I bought a tshirt-and I was going to take a picture-but I'm too lazy.. Sorry! :) but it says "the whomping willows" and then it has a picture of a tree + a music note = <3 style="font-weight: bold;">

Random stuff.
One thing I wish I had was more HP merch. I have a gryffindor scarf (because that's the only one the store sold, and I don't really have the money to buy one online), a stationairy, cards, and that's it. Oh, and now a wrock tshrit. I think I might get a wand for christmas. I really want to go to Azkatraz or LeakyCon! Are either of you going to one of those?I think I'm going to put that in the question bar <- I just don't know know how yet... Anyways, I should stop typing . Yes . K . Bye!

P.S. and today is magical because of the whole wrock show thing :P (i forgot that part..)

[11/4/08] In Which Odette is totally freakin excited for the beginning of this project!!!!!

Hey ladies!

So I am gonna do a bit of introduction stuff. I am Odette. I am 15 and I live in Virginia. Like Ron, yesterday, Harry Potter is a huge part of my life. My NaNoWriMo Novel has a HP obsessed character. So I can never escape the fandom. I am in the process of getting my wrock band off its feet. Our name is Oddment and we are just messing around right now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Question Section!
When did you start reading Harry Potter, and when did you become obsessed? (Ron)
I saw the first movie when I was 8. Immediately after I saw the movies, I ran home and read the first four books because that was all that was out. I didn't really become obsessed until a little over a year ago, when I met one of my best friends, Sarah, and she became my ambassador into wrock.

My question is: Why do you fit into the house you belong in?
I am a Ravenclaw because I am a huge nerd. My friend says I have work ethic and that is why but then I told her I have no work ethic and she said that was just more proof.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv


I am also Friday in another blog project, the Strangely Nerdy Strangers. http://strangelynerdy.blogspot.com/
and
http://nerdystrangers.blogspot.com/


So this week I am going to Camp Chanco. I go there a lot so many posts might have something to do with it. But it is a church camp (EPISCOPALIANS! WOOT!) and I am staffing a weekend and it is going to be so amazing!!!!!


That is really it! Oh and Happy Election Day!

See you tomorrow Frankee,

Odette

November 3rd

Hey it's Monday! And November, which means I'm doing NaNoWriMo, which means I'm super stressed.

So this is the first Monday of this project so I really don't know what to write. I can't see a question in the question box so hm...I guess I'll just introduce myself. I'm Ch, which is pronounced in a really Swedish way (because I'm from Sweden), but don't worry, I have an international nickname as well! It's Ron. So, I'm 15 years old, and I live a 30 minute train ride from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The Harry Potter phenomenon is a very big part of my life. I've met the majority of my friends through a Swedish Harry Potter site (hogwarts.nu), and Harry Potter is basically what gets me through life.

Well, I think that's all the basic stuff you need to know about me for now, so I'll tell you about what I did this weekend!

I was at a wizard rock show, yay! Those our not very common here in this little cold country (and believe me, it's getting cold). I love it when stuff happens in the Swedish part of the fandom! It means I get to see my beloved friends and have awesome weekends.

But the show was awesome! I played twice, the first set was my own solo-thingy, Krum Viddy, and then I played bass in Solitary Snape. I got to the little "venue"-thing (it was under a library!) a couple of hours early to do soundcheck and stuff, and ended up changing my whole Krum Viddy-set. It was only two songs, but still. I played a weird version of the Hogwarts School Song and and AlleyCast-fangirl song.
A very cool part was that someone you might have heard of was there. Her name is Dinah Saur and she interviewed all the bands for the Wizrocklopedia and the whole show was recorded, so look out for that ;)

One of the first Swedish wizard rock bands, The Swedish Shortsnouts (how very fitting), were there as well. I totally fangirled them, because they're totally made of awesome. You should check them out! They've made a really good song about the HBP-delay ;)

Their myspace!

Big thank you goes to Elin and Hanna from the HPA chapter The Advance Guard, who were awesome and put the show together!

So that's all I had to say for today. I hope it was okay I didn't answer a question, since there wasn't any :S I guess this'll be introduction week :D

I hope you other wloggers are doing great.

Your Monday and your Slytherin,
Ch/Ron/whatever.
