Day 9: Fanfiction: DiscussI don’t know if this is going to sound totally pathetic, but HP fanfic saved me. It did. I was in a really, really bad place my junior year of high school, and I discovered fanfiction, and I started writing it, and having that outlet saved me. Honestly, I don’t know where I would be emotionally if I hadn’t had ( Read more... )

Day 8: Your favorite ship(s)

Ron/Hermione. I knew it was going to be them from CoS. Harry/Hermione had literally never even occurred to me until I discovered fandom. So I was obviously really excited by their development in HBP and DH. That said, shipping isn’t something that’s particularly important to me in HP. Like, I was excited about R/ ( Read more... )

Day 7: Song that reminds you of HPUm, there isn’t one? Is that weird? Should there be ( Read more... )

Day 6: Your favorite character(s)

I will limit myself to two. First and foremost, Ron. I’ve always felt such a deep connection with him from the moment he showed up. “Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it’s no big deal, because they did it first,” really resonated with me the first time I read it, and even though things ( Read more... )

Day 5: Wizard Rock: DiscussIt’s something I still find kind of hilarious, though I know it’s gotten a lot more serious and credible over the years. My first few encounters with it were sort of terrifying, but I definitely have some in my iTunes. The Ministry of Magic is actually really good and I do listen to them occasionally. Mostly I think it ( Read more... )

[Okay, I’m doing three because I’m afraid if I don’t do several at a time, I won’t get through it. I’m so bad at finishing things. So yeah, three in one day. Deal.]

Day 4: Your favourite movie

Goblet of Fire. No contest. Yes, there was a ton of stuff they cut out, and yes, Gambledore is way too harsh and shouty, and yes, I think it’s really ( Read more... )

[I’m doing two in one day because I have internet really sporadically, so I figure I should post while I can.]

Day 3: What house would you be in?I have a really hard time with this. Obviously not Gryffindor, because I’m not super brave. I’m just not. I mean, I don’t have a problem standing up to my friends or people who are mistreating me, but ( Read more... )

Day 2: Your favourite book

So I kind of have two. I pretty much always tell people it’s Prisoner of Azkaban, which it is, really, and come on, pretty much everyone’s favorite book is PoA. I think it’s one of the best written ones, for one thing. I mean, all the HP books are funny and engaging, but PoA is always funny and engaging, even when ( Read more... )

Uh, so I don't really post enough here, and there's a 30 Days of Harry Potter thing going around, and I like Harry Potter, so I figured I'd do it. So yeah.

Dear Pixar,

First of all, well done with Toy Story 3. It was fantastic, especially for a threequel, so well done. It was totally unnecessary to have it in 3D (seriously, what is up with the obsession with 3D? It's such a turn-off! You have to wear those stupid glasses that are made to fit everyone and as a result fit absolutely no one, which ( Read more... )
