Why Dean Thomas?

Well hello readers, as you can notice Potter's Army has it's new look for February up and running. All the new features are up and running, and it has a completely new look. I will explain the new features and design looks on February 1st, which is this Tuesday. Why did I start the new blog design early? Well just because then I do not have to worry about adding them over the week, so I decided to start them and finish them this weekend so I could explain them to you when the next month comes. One question your going to be asking is though, why green to blue? Well you will have to wait until Tuesday to find out why all the links are green, and when you hover your cursor over them they are blue. Anyone who guesses why, will win a prize!!! Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you think you know why. One more thing before I get to tonight's first post is that I wanna tell you what the main theme (which I am guessing you could guess) is for this coming month. Well obviously it is, The Harry Potter Books! Why the books this month? Well make sure you tune back in Tuesday for sure. Now off to tonight's first of two posts.

Dean Thomas is in the above image right? Yes, that is him. Why is Dean Thomas the subject of tonight's post? Well I was thinking of something to blog about earlier today, and a Harry Potter Marathon I had with a friend came to my mind! Dean Thomas was a major part of this fateful night over a year ago! A friend and me had a Harry Potter Marathon on the weekend Half-Blood Prince came on DVD. We stayed up all night watching each Harry Potter movie in order (we started at 8 o'clock at night, and didn't get done until around 12o'clock the next day). Well I asked my friend at the beginning of Sorcerer's Stone, who his favorite character was. He answered Dean Thomas. He still to this day is obsessed with Dean. I do not know why, and I do not understand why? (Sorry if your favorite character is Dean, but I just do not understand why it would be? He really isn't all that important?) So we decided to have a tally to see how many times he was in the entire movie series (he must have forgotten halfway through the fifth movie because he never said anything about it after then, he must have gotten tired). I do not remember how many he had tallied down, but it was more than I ever expected! When we went to the Deathly Hallows Part One midnight release he signed my shirt that I got random people to sign, as Dean Thomas (we became character's of the Harry Potter world for that night). I just do not understand why his favorite character is him? Do you understand maybe why? Please email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you do, or even if your favorite character is Dean. I would like to understand why someone, a fan of the Harry Potter series, would have their favorite character be him? I don't mean to be a mean person in saying that your stupid in having him as your favorite character. I just do not understand why someone that, that is not very important in the books or the movies would be your favorite character in the Harry Potter series? I mean I would count him as an extra in the film, not a very important person, he is just a friend of Harry'. Yeah that is important, but he wouldn't/shouldn't be a favorite character you would think? Please email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com to help me understand why Dean Thomas could possibly be a favorite character in the Harry Potter series.

Well I hope you enjoyed that post! It was more of like a help me post, but a blog post none the less! I really hope you enjoyed it and along with enjoying Potter's Army's new features and look! Please give me feedback on the new look. Do you like it? Do you want it to go back to the old look? Do you want something different? Email me please and let me know exactly what you think, noahmarkbitney@gmail.com also with questions you might have! You can also email me with your very own Blog Post remember, because YOU are apart of the blog! Thanks for reading though, and thanks for being loyal to the Potter's Army Blog

Why is he so evil?


Well hello readers. I'd like to say thanks one more time, even though if you have read today's earlier blog, you would have already gotten my thanks. Now, I would like to talk about the blog itself before I get into today's first post. Firstly, I want to say that the transformation in to February's Potter's Army theme is going to be in affect starting tonight. The full transformation will not be complete until Sunday, January 30th. Features will be starting to be added tonight at around 7 or 8 o'clock. So make sure you check them out tonight, even though you already will be as of the fact that I will be doing another post later tonight. The other thing I wanted to mention, is that Potter's Army has reached over 2,000 followers as you might have already figured out from my previous post, 'THANK YOU!!!! :D', but I wanted to say thank you again. It really means a lot to me that I have already had over 2,000 page views in seven short months. Now lets get to this blog post shall we?

Now Lord Voldemort. We all know who he is right? I hope you all do because without him in the Harry Potter series, there would be no Harry Potter series! If it wasn't for him Harry's parents would not have been killed on that one Halloween night. The question I asked myself is why? Why is he so evil? We did he become the greatest villain of all time? I am going to answer those question based on what I think, BUT I would like to also hear what you think? Why do you think Lord Voldemort became evil? Why was he the way he was? Now why did he? Well I think it all has to with the fact that his MUGGLE father left his mother to die when he found out about her being a witch. There are other key factors I think also. I think that his grandfather and uncle were in fact muggle hater's also. So, I think that he became the way he was because of the fact that he was born with that in his genes. Even though his mother didn't hate muggle's at all doesn't mean that gene can't be passed onto him in the later years. I know I shouldn't be getting all technical with this, but this is what I think amplified his hatred of muggles. I think that, that was Jo's intention was for all of us to think that he was just that way. Now don't get me wrong I still think that he is truly evil though. I mean he was down right evil, but there has to be a reason for it, and I think that, that was the reasoning behind Voldemort's EVIL! What do you think though? Do you think I am correct in saying it was based on those things? What is your thoughts? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your thoughts, and I will post them up here on Potter's Army if you'll let me.

Well I hope you enjoyed this kind of shorter blog post. I tried to hurry up and get it done before the end of my study hall! It might not be some of my best work, but I promise tonight's will be a true Potter's Army post. I probably could have gotten more in depth to why he is evil, but I hope you enjoyed it all the same though. So make sure you tune back into here tonight for the new features, and for the blog post yet to come. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with comments, questions, suggestions, or your very own blog post because you are apart of the blog here.

The Truth about Harry's Godfather




Well hey readers! Thanks for all the page views last night. Went to bed with 10 views after Blogging last night, and I check it this morning in Accounting Class in school and I have 30 page views! Thank for continuing your loyalty to Potter's Army. Now staying true to my word, "trying to blog as much as possible," here I am blogging again today for all of you readers. Like usual now though I am going to talk a little bit about the blog before I actually get into what this post is going to be about. Well as you all know January is coming to an end, so that means Potter's Army is up for a new look! I, today, have been working on a new look for Potter's Army for the month of February. There is going to be a lot more entertainment things added to the entertainment section on the right-hand side of the blog! So, that should be up sometime next week, or over this weekend since February starts next week. Well that is all I really had to talk about for the blog, so now lets get to the actual blog post.

In 'Sorcerer's Stone' we got a glimpse of his name mention in the very first chapter, but he wasn't fully introduced until the third book, 'Prisoner of Azkaban.' I am guessing you know who I am talking about because of the Title and Blog Image of this blog. Yes, I am talking about Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black. Well what is there to talk about him. Well I have chosen to talk about the truth of his story. About how he was framed for something that he actually hadn't done. About how he thinks it is all his fault, when actually it isn't one bit his fault! Well what was he framed for? We as Harry Potter fans all know that he was framed for the murder of Lily and James Potter. Not really the actual murder, but he had released the information to Lord Voldemort where they were in hiding. He also was framed for killing a street full of muggles with one curse. We all know that this is a false statement, and there is no truth to any of those things that they say he did. Peter Pettigrew (sp?) was the actual person who did it. The Ministry of Magic of course does not realize this until that fateful day when the unexpected happens. :( Well why does he think it is his fault, when really he should feel no guilt what-so-ever? Well he believes that if he hadn't switched out of not being Lily and James Potter's Secret-Keeper (which Peter took over for when Sirius decided to switch out of it) Peter could not have actually told Voldemort, and Lily and James Potter could still be alive. I don't think he should be or feel guilty at all because it really is not he fault. How was he supposed to know that there long-time friend was actually a supporter and spy for the evil wizard that they were all trying to destroy, Lord Voldemort? Exactly, and the next thing is that really even Lilly and James thought Peter was a good guy. Sirius is putting to much on himself though I think because he misses his best friend, James. What do you think though? Do you think it is actually part his fault? Does he have to feel guilty or no? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your response or even @reply to me on twitter, just with a short response on what you think about Sirius, and the truth about him.

Well thank you for reading this blog post. Once again I am not really thinking this is one of my greatest . I hope you get better and better at them throughout time. I hope you enjoyed it though, and I hope you will continue to enjoy my future post here on Potter's Army. Make sure you tune back into here tonight though as I think I might do another post while I start my Harry Potter weekend tonight! I will explain more in tonight's post though. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with any question you might have, comments, or suggestions for the blog. Thanks again for reading, and remember, "you are apart of the blog too!"
