Again, my apologies.

I'm finding it very difficult to pencil in time to update, especially since I don't have time during first period at school.
I'm really sorry. Thanks to everyone that still checks in to see if something new pops up.
I don't think I'll post again for a while, so thank you and good luck with life, everyone.
Here's a picture of a Ministry of Magic Identity Card from the Film Wizardry book.

Hi guys.

My apologies for the lack of posting.

Recently, I had final exams and I needed to study.

In February, I'll try to start the calendar updates again.

However, I won't be able to post as often because I won't have the opportunity to post at school.

Thanks for all the views!

Order of the Phoenix movie quotes (Featuring Neville Longbottom)

Neville Longbottom: Fourteen years ago, a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange used the Crutiatus Curse on my parents. She tortured them for information, but they never gave in. I'm quite proud to be their son. But I'm not sure I'm ready for everyone to know just yet.

Bellatrix Lestrange: Neville Longbottom, isn't it? How's mum and dad?
Neville Longbottom: Better, now they're about to be avenged!


Lucius Malfoy: Did you actually believe, or are you truly naïve enough to think that children stood a chance against us? I'll make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die.
Neville Longbottom: Don't give it to him, Harry!


Neville Longbottom: So how are we going to get to London?
Harry Potter: Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you, but - but I've got you into enough trouble as it is.
[walks past everyone]
Neville Longbottom: Dumbledore's Army's supposed to be about doing something real.
[Harry stops turns around to face them]
Neville Longbottom: Or was all that just words to you?
Ron Weasley: ...Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself, mate.
Harry Potter: ...So how are we going to get to London?
Luna Lovegood: We fly, of course.

You've done it, Neville.You've found the Room of Requirement!

Congratulations DH Part 1!

According to Mugglenet, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 has past the $900 million mark!

It is now number 16 in All-Time Box Office. Woohoo!

The film has passed Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire.

Lots of fans are planning on hitting the theatres and watching it one last time before it stops showing.

I know I'm going.

Are you?

Harry Potter Film Wizardry

This book is another present that I got.

The book, which was designed by the artist behind the Weasley's products, the Daily Prophet, and the Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, is extremely in depth on each of the movies that have been released.

There are things that you can take out, like a mini Marauder's Map and a Yule Ball program, and there are booklets inside, like a catalogue of the Weasley Wizard Wheezes products and a Quidditch World Cup program. Each page is colourful and has little things that fans will enjoy.

It includes inside information about almost everything in the films. It reveals some behind-the-scenes stuff about filming the Ministry scene, in Order of the Phoenix, between Helena Bonham Carter and Matthew Lewis, and an incident that involved Emma Watson during the filming of the Yule Ball scene, in Goblet of Fire.

There are drawings of costumes, concept art, photos and stills from each movie.

There are notes from the producer, David Heyman, the directors, and Stuart Craig, the production designer.

This book is another great piece of Potter magic.

What did you think of Deathly Hallows part1?
