Do you guys remember the Harry Potter prequel that was released in 2008. I just remembered about it today. And I was thinking, wouldn't it be awesome if JK could write an entire prequel to Harry Potter that tells the story of Harry's parents and the time they went to school. And then she can also write a prequel to that prequel, that describes the life of people like Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald. This would be so awesome, and would make people love Harry Potter again, or the book, James Potter and then Albus Dumbledore. Anyway. Just some random thoughts I had, which I think I already had a few years ago, but yeah.

I cannot believe I am actually admitting this, but I miss Harry Potter. Sure, the fandom has not died yet, however, the lack of new books are detrimental at best. I was talking to some of my friends about Harry Potter and how awesome it was (is), and then I realized, that there won't be any more books. I have realized this before but it didn't sink in like it did this time.

I haven't been really active on this blog lately, but to the few that do actually follow this blog, I want to share my thoughts.

When I started with Harry Potter, there was always the outlook for the continuation of the story. That is, when I finished one book, there was another one after that. Nevertheless, obviously it had to stop. This was a great shock to me, I was searching for clues that it might continue in the future. That JK was actually writing another book. But, she only worked on Pottermore, which would have been the answer all creation, that would keep fans busy for years to come and not realize that Harry Potter is actually finished. Sure, Pottermore had great intension. However, it doesn't fill that void inside of me, maybe it is because I am no longer just a child reading Harry Potter. This might be a big factor, however the magical experience offered by the Harry Potter books are lacking in Pottermore.

Some may argue that there are fanfiction and other works of art by fans, that there are Quidditch as a sport. But, does this really fill the gap. We as fans always try and fill up the gaps left inside of us. And try and put on bandages just to make it seem better. But the actual fact is that we just simply can't fill up this gap inside of us. I will never forget the joy reading Harry Potter brought me. It was so extraordinary. It sparked an imagination, that there might be something else out there, that can take me away from this world and place me into a magical world. Harry Potter was my escape from reality drug. Always longing for a letter from Hogwarts just to take me away from this place.

Now that I am technically an adult, I still long for a letter. Even though I know that I won't ever get one. This experience I got from Harry Potter is almost completely exclusive to the Harry Potter world. No other book has since created this longing. I truly hope that we as Harry Potter fans will someday move on to a new creation that provides the same level of awesomeness, like in the Harry Potter universe.

Our only hope now is that the next JK novel will be just as awesome as Harry Potter was (is). And, I hope she writes a prequel or sequel, because that is the only thing that will truly quench my desire for more Harry Potter, but in actual fact it will further spark my quench for Harry Potter. So please JK, give us more Harry Potter to keep us happy inside and give us something to escape in.

Harry Potter has finally blown his last breath... We have seen him growing up and we have witnessed him fight his way through not only physical challenges but also personal. He always seemed like the one with the bad luck and yet he was always apt for overcoming these challenges.

In the midst of exams, holidays and procrastination, I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Well, what can I say? It was awesome and yet sad (not as depressing when finishing the last book), it was as if the moment we knew would come has left us in the dark, glooming for something that just was not there anymore.

The last movie was definitely one of the best, less maybe number three. However, where is part 3, why did you see it fit to remove so much background history of most of the characters, the biggest being Dumbledore. Who knows, maybe in a few years, they will remake the movies. However, then it will probably be watered-down versions of the current films, which seem the fate of most remakes.

After making the table about the films, I thought why not make one for the books. While searching for the information, I learned a few things that I forgot about Harry Potter. If you are viewing this post inside a RSS reader it might not correctly display the table, so view it on the site instead.

Many events have unfold these recent few weeks. Like the new trailer of part one, which many describe as epic or awesome. If you haven't seen the new trailer you can watch it below.



After watching the trailer and reading some of the comments I really wondered if it will be so epic. With a budget of US$250,000,000 for part one (Source) it isn't a factor of not having any funds to make an epic movie. However it is exactly the same budget they had for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I made a table of all the technical differences among Harry Potter films. What is quite shocking is the runtime, if you look at Order of the Phoenix's runtime, then it is the shortest of the lot, yet the book is the biggest. It make you wonder, doesn't it. Well enjoy. 

As you can see there are a few things omitted from Deathly Hallows, because those details aren't available yet. Also, you can see that I made it in two tables, because one didn't fit. :-) 

Here I will post the ten main reasons why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the movie sucked so badly...

1. Omissions: This reason is most likely already evident in the fact that most fans are furious that the story in the movie versus the story in the book is completely different. They have left out lots of important parts from the development of the plot. For those who don't know what I am talking about, here are some examples to refresh your memory: 1. No introductions of the new Minister of Magic. 2. Neither Dobby nor Kreacher are present in the movie, which play a vital role in the development of the plot. 3. No funeral of Dumbledore, which is one of the most important things that was left out. 4. Many others, too many to list here...
2. Too few characters: The stories of some left out characters was just squeezed into the few characters that were present in the film. For example, where was Bill and the Dudleys.
3. Short movie: The film was nowhere near long enough to fit all the important bit and pieces together of the development in the books. So they changed and omitted many of the important parts.
4. Crap acting: However, the acting have improved since the first movie, it is not near good enough to be enjoyable...
5. Too fast paced: In order to fit the remaining parts of the story, they made everything progress too fast. It felt as if the entire movie was in fast-forward.
6. No epic scenes: The battles was just that, boring, it was so messed up from the book. That the only remaining bits was shot so that most of the fighting is left out and most of the characters. 
7. Doesn't make sense: It doesn't continue where the previously movie stopped and thus left lots of questions unanswered for those who haven't read the book.
8. Voldemort almost not present: The parts of Voldemort are almost completely omitted from the story and the background information needed for why Malfoy is doing what he most do is completely replaced with a feeble attempt to answer it.
9. Not the right characters: There are parts in the movie that you know it must have been character X doing what character Y is doing now. And this changes just makes the fans furious.
10. Completely different story: They added things that didn't exist in the book, like the changes of what characters must do what etc.

Yes, you have read that right. It is now official that the new Harry Potter movie will be available at movies in 3D.

Both films will be screened in 3D, however the films will also screen as 2D in incompatible cinemas.

Why, well to make the film more awesome and maybe to get more money from the viewer, as the demand for 3D films have greatly increased after the pinnacle was set by Avatar.

Finally I have fixed the blog up from all the nasties. What do you think of the new theme? Have your say with a comment.

The site will hopefully now be more responsive and nicer to use.

Okay, so I have temporarily updated the theme to a new one, however in the next couple of days, I will try to find an even better one for the site.

Also, I have removed a lot of junk and nasties, even though it is not even close from done, will have to use advanced defense against the dark arts magic...

In the next couple of days I will try to resume posting blog entries. Remove all the podcast feeds at the bottom and other useless bandwidth wasting things.
Those with acute senses will already have noticed the changes in the things on the sidebar.

Please give suggestions for the site by leaving a comment.

The night that it was released I stormed to my nearest bookstore and bought the book as quickly as possible in my haste. I went back home, so that I wasn’t bothered by anyone who scream with ecstasy for getting the book. Back home I started reading the book and boy o’ boy was it a page-turner. I couldn’t stop reading the book, after hours my back started to ache and I relaxed for a while. My recession was over and I continued my journey. After a few days, unfortunately chores kept me busy for some time, I finished with one of the greatest books of our century. The only thing that bothered me was the short ending. “Ahhhh”, I exhaled, was it really over, searching the web I couldn’t find trace that it is going to continue. The JK Rowling website gave no updates on her following book. Terrified, hyperventilating, I tried to relax and found some fan fiction to settle my mind. After many days and episodes, I recollect these memories now on this blog. Still wondering after the release of the Beetle and the Bard if there are more Harry Potter-based books going to be released. Two movies for such an awesome book was also wonderful news. Still, I remember the day that this fine book was released and how many people bought it, how many people went out and celebrated the release of such a fine book.

Nevertheless, I have find some other fine books to keep me busy, apart from rereading Harry Potter, renowned of the list must be, Lord of the Rings. Which have kept me busy for some time.

But there will always be a hunger creature inside of me thirsting for more Harry Potter, for the idea will never escape me.


PS.: Sorry for the extremely late time of this post. But the memory moves ever onwards.

So after an infinite amount of days I return with a post that is so tedious that most of you won’t even bother to read it anyway. Well, after you have read that mind-numbing first sentence I wonder how many of you actually got to this point, because I am going to try my best to make the rest attention-grippingly awesome.

Well most of you here who actually want to read non-rubbish know about Harry Potter and what a good read it is. Therefore, after many lengthy years the movie of the sixth book is finally upon us. Many of you might have watched one the teasing, spectacular four trailers. Nevertheless, you on the other hand may have watched the interviews, photos, trailers, posters, news, etc. of the upcoming extravagant movie, which is going to show non-Harry Potter fans what they are missing.

However, after so many movies, with striped down content, it is still fascinating how many fans still go watch it. I mean, the books are awesome, but the stories in the movies are cruelly altered and doesn’t it strike you as odd that so many people like Hollywood-altered movies, nowadays no movie which comes from a book, how small, stays the same. Even the movies that are a true story, is based on a true story. Nevertheless, I love the movies but I love the books more. My family likes the movies and then I just go forward and correct them that the movies are nothing compared to the books and they should actually read the books.

Ah, with all those personal point of views I do not know why I actually bubble like that about nonsense.
Anyway, back to the new movie. I have watched some of the trailers and it looks absolutely stunning. I reread the book during the holidays and was filled with gaiety. Many of the events I have forgotten and after rereading it I felt that the new movie is going to be like the fifth. The fifth book is the longest but the movie was one of the shortest. I really hope that they are not going to make such a mess with the sixth, such as they did with the fifth. Oh, I hope they include all the magic creatures, not like in the fifth where they did not even show Dobby like in the book.

From the trailers it looks as if it is going to be one hell of a movie, just like the book. There are so many things that will happen in this upcoming movie and I really hope they don’t mess it up.

Well? At last, I am posting another blog post again. It was so long since I last posted on my blog. What happened in the mean of time. Well Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie swooped past us all. I for one didn’t find the movie at ALL as good as the book. Too many things were left out. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, what can I say more, what a magnificent book. The last book, was unbelievable in the sense that it’s the last one and that made (almost) all the fans questions fall in place.

People went to shops and bought all the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ stock they could find. Fans all over the world counted down in anticipation for the last and final Harry Potter book. I got my book unfortunately the day after. I rushed to the counter of the store to find that I wasn’t the first. When I had the book in my hands, I couldn’t wait to start reading it. When I got home, I started reading, reading all day, almost through the night (I would have if my eyes didn’t start to give up on me). The next day I read. When I finally finished the book, I got a shock of how crap it ends. To my disgust I read the ending repeatedly, just to make sense of it all. There was too much names and it was totally too short. Afterword I heard the ending that J.K Rowling omitted from the ending. Why did She make all that information go astray.

Since then I have gotten urges to read Harry Potter. But the only solution was to read the current books again. “Rowling write another book”, I think every day of my life. Every once and again I log on internet and check the newest Harry Potter news. The news is just the whole time, about Rowling doing this interview and that documentary etc. In addition, occasionally she releases some shocking news, for example, Dumbledore is Gay and has an affair with Grindelwald. I don’t care if he is gay or not. But an affair with Grendelwald. For Merlin’s sake what on earth was he thinking. Anyway, that is life and we can’t change such things. I guess love can make you do weird things.
Please comment on this blog post. I am so totally sorry that I took so long to make another blog post.

Why? You all think. Why would I write a post like this? So why did I write this. First, I wrote this post because I think that there will be more than just 7 HP books. Second is because I think HP fans will enjoy this post. Third, the last one is because I love Harry Potter. So why would there be more HP books than J.K said. I think that there is going to be more HP books because there are too many unexplained things to be covered in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. J.K would have to write more that a bible to cover everything in the next book. However, J.K said, “Book 7 will not be as long as Book 5”. Moreover, Book 5 was not too long to cover all the info. In addition, in the next book there will be too many unexplained things to cover in a book shorter than OotP. Therefore, that is the first thing that makes me think that there will be more than 7 HP books. However, there must be more clues that let you think that there will be more books than just 7. Okay there was only 6 books in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (*The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy*, *The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, *Life, the Universe and Everything*, *So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish*, *Young Zaphod Plays It Safe*, *Mostly Harmless*) and there was 7 Lord of the Rings books (*The Silmarillion*, *The Hobbit*, *The Fellowship of The Ring*, *The Two Towers*, *The Return of The King*, *The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil*, *Unfinished Tales*). So all of that means that there may only be 7 books. However, how will J.K fit all of the unexplained stuff in a book shorter than OotP. Well she may put everything shorter, like example in the place of: – Dumbledore was killed by one of his most trusted friend and that trusted friend was in the Order of The Phoenix and the name of the person who killed him was Severus Snape – she can write – Dumbledore was killed by Snape -. Therefore, you see that she may fit all the things in just one more book. So maybe all this really points to the fact that there will be only seven books. Nevertheless, there is a chance that there is too many unexplained things and too many things that must happen in the 7th book to just write a book shorter than OotP. So hopefully there will be more than 7 Harry Potter books, and I surely hope there will be more. Why? Because Fanfiction is great but not as great as the real thing. Besides, I wonder how the fans will react to the fact that is not going to come out more books. Also, maybe someone will go on with the Harry Potter series. Even though if Harry Potter dies in book 7, there is always a way to make someone alive again (it is wizards and witches and not muggels you know) in the wizard world, even thought one of the professors said that you cannot bring someone that is dead back to live. Now I suddenly think that Harry Potter is going to die, but I do not, I still hope that the only ones that is going to die is the Dark Lord and his Followers. I wonder how the new Prime minister is going to bring back Azkaban now that the Dementors are in the control of the Dark Lord. Moreover, I hope that Hogwarts is going to open again and that all the small wizards and witches will have a chance to go back to school again. It is in anyway safer at Hogwarts even though Dumbledore is not there anymore, more than one wizard together is more powerful than one alone and the Death Eaters has a weaker chance to kill all of the students. Besides, with the professors and the Order of the Phoenix at Hogwarts it is going to be safer than a normal house or, two or one wizard walking by it’s own on the pavement. And the chances that one of the Death Eaters is going to get into Hogwarts this time is basically zero, because with the professors and Hagrid’s Half brother guarding the school and the ministry of magic protecting the school, will make the school even more safer and if the students go to their corridors then they will be basically untouchable. Additionally, if they guard the school also from inside then they will be even stronger, they can put up sensor charms that trigger a door or a trap. So yeah. I hope you liked this post and if you have any suggestions for the next post then please email me on h4rrypotter@yahoo.com, and tell me what you like of hate about this blog and tell me what you suggest I must post. Thank You for reading this post. As you can see, there is news on the right and there is HP podcasts under the blogs.

______________________Full of Spoilers________________________

So you and me are all waiting for the next book. I have been browsing amazon.com, and then I saw that there is a book from mugglenet.com that says what is going to happen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So everyone is maybe buying that book. So why do I post this blog. Because below is a picture from Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them. So there you can see “you die Weasley” under the Acromantula. So Ron is the man hanging in this Hangman. And the word that is left out is Acromantula. So maybe Weasley will be killed by his greatest fear (spiders). Or maybe not. So why do I think weasley will die. First of all his father was almost killed by Voldemort, he is one of the main Characters in the books, he is weak (he isn’t so intelligent like Hermione and he isn’t so brave like Harry) and he is one of the chosen one to die (his mother and father is in the Order of the Phoenix, so if you kill one of their children then they will be too weak to carry on). Okay now you all think that I have read that book of mugglenet.com, no I have not because it is too expensive to buy for me. So maybe someone else will die. I hope it is only Voldemort and his fellow Death Eaters that dies. Harry must live, because he is the Chosen one, he is the boy who lived and he is the only one who can stop The Dark Lord. So we shall see the answer in the next book (I am not saying the last book (in the next post I am going to say why)). I hope that Dumbledore will come back just the time that Harry, Hermione and Ron is in trouble, and he will save the day, because Dumbledore is the Greatest wizard that ever lived.

Please send me an email to h4rrypotter at yahoo dot com to tell me what you think about this blog and please give some suggestions for what I can write in the next post, Thank You.


Ps. if you change the “s” in Weasley to a “k” then you get Weakley.

I have been looking in every shop, store, etc... Everywhere I look, I see no Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVDs. What happened to it? Was it stolen or what else? I think that I read somewhere that it is also gone. However, where is it. So I thought, “ok if I can’t find GoF, then I will have to look for the other DVDs”, so I looked and no, nothing, not even one cover, absolute nothing. Therefore, where has this DVDs apparated to, are the DVDs Portkeys, or is it just something that disappears. Yeah I know you can buy the DVDs still on internet, but it is cheaper for me to buy it at a store or shop. You will see that the time that OotP’s DVDs comes out, all the DVDs will be available again. I do not worry about 1, 2 and 3. I have those, but what I need is GoF, and not just the single disk version, no, no, I need the double disk version. I have seen that some shops, etc... has the single disk version. Why do I need the double disk version, I need it because then it adds to my collection, you see, I have 1, 2 and 3 in double disk versions. Maybe you think that I am stupid, anyway, you may think it, but that is what makes us unique and special. I know that there is some people that hates Harry Potter (I know someone, who forbids their child to even watch the movies (I mean that is stupid)), but that is them, all that I know is that I love Harry Potter (or must I say obsessed with Harry Potter). Anyway back to the topic, where is it! Maybe they take it of the racks and think that they must hold it from being purchased (almost like Golem in Lord of the Rings, which always want to have his fabulous ring) by evil. I for one think it is very stupid if they do that. Now a days there is everywhere specials on that DVDs that I want, but the moment I get to the store it is gone, maybe someone took it before me, but then can someone explain why there isn’t even a picture of it. Moreover, when you ask the counter, they say it was sold out. Therefore, can someone please help me with this problem! Please help me. Ps. I am going to try to put the whole ABC Family OotP special on this blog. Oh and sorry that it took so long to put a new post on (my internet was offline (I love Internet)). I am going to try to post more stuff quicker to the future.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
