POTTER WATCH

Can't get enough of Harry? Neither am I! Here's the scoop of our favorite wizards


THREE ON THREE
3 things you should know about the trio:
1. All three are signed to do the 7th movie.
2. They all did/will do movies with fellow Harry Potter actors. Dan was in David Copperfield with Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall), Rupert was in Driving L
essons with his Potter mom, Julie Walters, and Emma has been cast to voice the role of Princess Pea in the upcoming animated movie, The Tale of Despereaux, with Robbie Coltrane (Hagdrid)
3. They've all been honored at the Hand, Footprint, and Wand ceremony at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theater.



What's up with DAN..
.

So what does Dan do when he's not making movies?
HE's writes poetry! We won't be s
eeing his written work anytime soon, though - Dan said he thinks it's not good enough to be aired to somebody. But here's something he can be proud of: He's the youngest actor ever to be immortalized in London's Madam Tussauds wax museum!

What's up with up with EMMA...
Emma's definitely a chip off Hermione's block! Like the brainy Hermione, Emma loves to learn and says that school keeps her in touch with reality. In an interview with People, she says, "I think sometimes really smart girls dumb themselves down a bit, and that's bad." Well said, Em!

What's up with RUPERT...
Rupert plans on making movies after he's done with the Potter films, but in case that doesn't work out, he has a back-up plan: selling ice cream. This flame-haired chap revealed that it was a childhood dream to be an icce cream man, and recently bought himself an ice cream van, complete with a working sink, a freezer stacked with ice cream, and its own tune! (i bet it's the Harry Potter theme song xD) Ron Weasly, an ice cream man? Now that's cool.

Hullo TO
NKS!
Actress Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks, revealed in an interview with Associated Press that she will be back and that her character will be depressed and have black hair. Hmm..I'm kinda liking the pink 'do on you, Tonks. You rock Tonks \m/




till' here Potterheads!
;D

nerikka apparates!

HP and the Half Blood Prince


“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good”

Merlin’s Beard! I have seen the two trailers of HBP and by seeing it…my so-called “Harry Potter” sensation is getting stronger. I’ve finished reading HBP (for a month) and now, I’m currently reading Prisoner of Azkaban…which drives meh like crazy..and crazier when i’ve seen the 2nd trailer.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer # 1

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer # 2


Here are the list of my most wicked and most awaiting scenes in HBP:

1. Snape ‘Avada Kedavra-ed’ Professor Dumbledore

2. The Graunt’s residence

3. Tom Riddle and Merope Graunt

4. Young Voldemort’s Memories

5. Teenage Voldemort’s Memories (especially about the Horcrux with Slughorn)

6. Harry and Professor Dumbledore’s adventure in the cave where the young Voldemort hid one of the Horcrux

7. Harry and Ginny’s moments

8. Hermione showing jealousy about Ron and Lavander love team

9. Harry using the Marauder’s Map in tracking Draco Malfoy.

10. The Quidditch Final (in which, Harry’s the Team Captain this Year)

11. Me, Nerikka, sneaking somewhere in the library, eavesdropping the conversation of Harry and Hermione. :D (just a hoax)

And it ends here..

Must play crazy kart for exercising my honorable fingers..

tata!

God Bless!

Prisoner of Azkaban


"Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain."
-Mr. Weasley's word of wisdom

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has been my most favorite book of all the Harry Potter series. The story is full of twist and turns, magical climax, rebuilding friendship relationships, lying and alibi and so much more. I love it when new characters are emerging and J.K. introducing it to me, or the reader itself.

My favourite parts in the book were:
1. The Marauder's Map
2. Hermione and Ron's fight about their pets
3. Hermione's hectic timetable for her the subjects she will be taking (which includes Muggle studies)
4. Remus Lupin as the New Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (the Boggart part was wicked)
5. Hermione's brilliant time-turner
6. THe Harry - Hermione adventure as they go back time, saving innocent people (includes Buckbeak and Sirius)
7. Lupin telling the whole true story about their [ James, Peter, Sirius and him] days in Hogwarts and how their friendship was strenghten upon keeping secrets [not to mention their Animagi]


That's all..quite a long list, isn't it?
But i'm not done yet. The following are my most funniest and memorable part of the book. Check it out.

p.230
The Quidditch Final

The tiny golden ball was held tight in his fist, beating its wings hopelessly against his fingers...
Thrust into the light, he saw Hagrid, plastered with crimson rosettes - 'Yeh beat 'em, Harry, yeh beat 'em! Wait till I tell buckbeak!' There was Percy, jumping up and down like a maniac, all dignity forgotten.Professor McGonagall was sobbing harder even than Wood, wiping her eyes with an enormous Gryffindor flag...Words failed them. They simply beamed

p.143
The Marauder's Map

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
...Then words began to blossom across the top great curly green words, that proclaimed:

Messrs Moony, wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers
are proud to present
THE MARAUDER'S MAP

..'Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs,' sighed George, patting theh heading of the map. 'We owe them so much.' 'Noble men, working tirelessly to help a new generation of law-breakers,'said Fred solemnly. -lol, that was funny

others are on pages 211, 248 and 275 of the book


it ends here..

*yawns* bye!
