This pisses me the fuck off. Come on people please go see this film in theaters. If the movie doesn’t do well enough we won’t get another one.
me starting a new book series: from years of experience and a general underdstanding that interesting plots don’t have happy endings, I know that some or many characters are going to die throughout the series and that I’m just going to have to accept that, because I also know that if there were no deaths then the books would be highly unrealistic and I’d stop enjoying them
favourite character:*dies*
me: *flipping a table* oKAY BUT DID IT HAVE TO BE THISONE?!?
New character in the Potterverse
J.K Rowling has done it again ladies and gentlemen. A new character has been released in to the Potterverse, which you can read all about it (hah, sounds like I’m doing a newspaper call out!) over at Pottermore. You need membership though.
I just love it when more things are added to the wonderful land of Harry Potter!
This time the new character is Molly Weasleys favourite singer.
Here is a…
New ‘Harry Potter’ short story on Pottermore
Rejoice Harry Potter fans for a new short story has come out! Never believed it would happen? Neither did I.
J.K Rowling has released a story set in the future, at the Quidditch World Cup, as written by Rita Skeeter. The trio is back but probably sadly, never again.
You’ll need an account with Pottermore but after you can read it here.
I think one of the reasons Harry Potter has such a strong, loyal following, is that it really does make people feel like they belong to a community. I bet you think that I’m stating the obvious—you wouldn’t be wrong—but I think that what the Harry Potter series does to create that feeling is so much more effective than just the immense solidarity we all generally feel as the result of being apart of such a large fandom. I believe the reason the fandom is so large and passionate—aside from the amazing story progression and compelling characters—is the plethora of specific categories the book provides that allows specific people to express themselves with. The most obvious examples of this are the Hogwarts Houses; I mean, who doesn’t get a kick out of taking sorting hat quizzes? The houses not only give you an even stronger sense of community within an already strong community, but they also make you feel like you’re a part of the wizarding world by giving you something to be proud of and to further express yourself with, while also adding a slight feeling of exclusivity through each house. It’s similar to the love many people have for buzzfeed quizzes, the mbti test, alignment charts, and even astrological signs. Sometimes I wonder what the fandom would be like if Hogwarts didn’t have any houses; would be as potent?

My boyfriend’s parents got engaged in a cemetery
Okay, you may think I’m weird for saying this, but I love the cemetery. #writerslift #writingcommunity #blog #creativewriting
Okay, you may think I’m weird for saying this, but I fucking love the cemetery.
When I first moved to the UK, my friend and I travelled to Edinburgh before I even got to know London. We were recommended Greyfriars Kirkyard, so we went there on a lovely autumn day, brought alcohol and chocolate, and sat on the bench, people-watching.
If you ever come to Edinburgh, I recommend visiting this…

Neville: Oh, wait, it’s just me
