"Oh Children!"

Hey readers! Well, when I was blogging last night's Blog Post, Goosebumps Scene: OOTP Possession, I thought of what I believe to be my favorite Harry Potter scene in the entire series (not 100% sure about this yet, due to the fact Part Two has not been released). As you can see in the above image that it is the scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, when Harry and Hermione dance after Ron has left, so lets get to this post shall we?

What can I talk about this scene? Well we all know that this is an added scene into the film right? It was not in the Deathly Hallows book. Now, usually I do not like the creators of the films to add in a scene into the film unless they have already added all the scenes in from the book (like in Half-Blood Prince), but this scene is completely different from the rest. I 100% LOVE THIS SCENE. Why may you ask? Well lets start with the topic I usually get to eventually. The music playing in the background. This is the first time in the entire Harry Potter series where they have actually added a song into the film with words. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! It just has an amazing feel to it, don't you agree? If you don't know the name of this song, as I know most people want to know what it is called. Well I found it, and it is available on iTunes, and it is called "Oh Children," by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It is just an amazing song I believe, and it fits in with the scene it is in beautifully. I just love it so much. Now to the actual scene. What do I like about it most? Or actually what do I actually like about it? Well I am going to answer those question, but I want you (if you agree with me) to answer the questions too. Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your answer's to those questions. Now, why do I like this scene? Well I am one of those fans who always thought that Harry and Hermione would end up together in the end of the series. I always thought that from Book/Movie one, until though, until Book 5! Then I started thinking for some odd reason he was going to end up with Tonks. Do not ask me why there. I have no idea why I thought that, but I always was thinking he was going to end up with Tonks after that. I never ever would have guessed Ginny! Don't get me wrong though I do really like that relationship, but now back on the subject of this scene. I just really like it because I do not think it shows a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship here. I think it shows that they have a like BEST friend relationship here, or that they are just like brothers and sisters. They really care and love one another, but not in relationship. Know what I mean there. This scene shows Harry trying to cheer up Hermione when she is all sad depressed and down in the dumps. It just makes me smile! I really love how Harry acts all goofy while dancing to just make her laugh and smile! I love it! Harry is just a sweet guy, and he kind of reminds me with me and my sister because I always act goofy around my sister to keep her in a good mood. So, yeah I really love this scene. I do not know about you, but email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com and let me know how you feel about this scene please?

Well I am hoping that you enjoyed this Blog Post! I really love this scene, it is just hard to put in words how I feel about this scene. It just makes me so happy to see this scene every time I go to see Deathly Hallows Part One. I hope you all love this scene as much as I do! It truly an amazing scene. Now do not forget to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with the answers to the question I asked earlier, questions you have, comments, suggestions for the blog, your own Blog Post for Potter's Army, or even your own PicPost! Thanks again for reading, and I am hoping you will continue to enjoy Potter's Army!

Goosebumps Scene: OOTP Possesion

Well hey readers. As I said I was going to do another blog post tonight, and well I decided to do another Goosebumps Scene Blog Post since last weeks was so popular! Well I hope you all will enjoy this post.

Well the Goose-bump Scene I am going to talk about this week is a scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The above image pretty much shows you where in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I am talking about in this post. It is the scene after Dumbledore duels Voldemort, and Voldemort takes over (posses) Harry. I LOVE THIS SCENE. This scene has actually go to be on my top 5 favorite scenes in the Harry Potter films. Every time I watch this scene I get the "Goosebumps." I believe this scene is just so emotional, not just to the films, but it adds a heavy impact on the love Harry has that Voldemort doesn't have. It also though adds a heavy impact on how much Harry really does love his friends. I think when I first saw this scene I might have cried a little, but those tears could have been coming from the fact of what had just happened a few minutes before this scene. :( Now, why do I think I get goosebumps here at this scene? Hmmm, well like I had just said it is really emotional, but I also (of course) think the music does an excellent job in capturing that particular emotion too and putting music to it. Along with those to reason's I also think it is a goosebumper because of what has just happened. Not just to Harry (with Sirius just dying), but the battle that has just happened. The battle between Voldemort and the great Dumbledore. It just kind of brings it to a close. NOW the line Voldemort says after he realizes he can't be inside someone with a heart is just an AWESOME line. He says, "Your a fool Harry Potter, and you will lose . . . .everything!" It is just an EPIC freaking line. Just sets up the final films right there, but also a very emotional time to say it. There is the thing Harry says though, "Your the weak one, and you'll never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." Another line I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!!!! God I just really love this scene a lot! I had forgotten to mention though that Dumbledore's line, "Harry, it isn't how you are alike. . . . . it's how you are not," gives me the chills too. This whole scene is a goose-bump scene! It deserves to be on the rank of Goosebumps Scene. You agree? Do you get some goosebumps when we see Harry's past bad memories, and then past good memories? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you get goosebumps like me. Email me if you think this particular scene I have been talking about in this post deserves to be in the top 5 Harry Potter scenes in the Harry Potter movies. All I can say is that this particular scene is great. I know for sure so far that there is one other scene that beats this one at top 5 scenes, but I am going to save that for another post!

Well I am hoping you enjoyed this Blog Post! I enjoyed writing it for all of you! I know not probably one of my greatest, but I really do love this scene a lot please understand that. Ha, well thanks again for reading. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with any questions, comments, suggestions, your very own Blog Post, or even a Pic Post! I love feedback from my readers here, and you are one of them! Yes you are! Remember Potter's Army slogan, ". . . . and where YOUR apart of the cause," which means you can write a Blog Post too! Well thanks again for reading, and make sure you check back in tomorrow for more Blog Posts her on Potter's Army!

The 100th Blog Post

"Welcome to The Harry Potter Cause. This blog is about everything Harry Potter each day, maybe even more than twice a day I am going to make long blogs about anything Harry Potter things. I could talk about the books, movies, the new Deathly Hallows film, music, fan things, spells, and loads of other different thing about the wonderful world of Harry Potter," remember me saying that 100 blog posts ago? I started this Blog on July 25, 1010, when it was know as the Harry Potter Cause. On, September 26, 2010, Harry Potter Cause became Potter's Army, about 51 Blog Posts later. Today, February 3rd, 2011, marks the release of my 100th Blog Post! 100 blog post! I cannot believe that I have reached this many blog post in this short amount of time. It might not be that short I guess, but still I could not have reached these many post's if it wasn't for you, my fans. I thank you for viewing Potter's Army every time I release a post for all of you to read. I thank you all for reading them, and for all the feedback I get. I am hoping you all still enjoy Potter's Army (haven't been having to many views lately, not that it matters) as I enjoy to write them all for you to read. I am hoping that I will have reached over 200 posts by May of this year, meaning I am going to be doing a lot more posts in the upcoming months. Other things I am hoping to have for the blog is a website up by sometime near the end of the year (not 100% sure about that idea yet). I am also hoping to get you all more involved in Potter's Army. Now, we all know that Potter's Army will be making the transition to Post-Potter Depression on July 16th of this year (the day after Part Two of Deathly Hallows being released). When that time comes I am hoping to have more fan Blog Posts incorporated in the Blog here, because I know we all will be going into PPD. Another reason I want more involvement from all of you is because YOU are apart of the blog here, and because this blog was built on the hope of having Harry Potter fans talk about things Harry Potter all the time. So far I have had 100 blog posts all about Harry Potter things, except maybe the Coca-Cola Blog Post. I think that might have been one of the worst blog post I have ever done. I am not sure about the greatest one I have ever done, I want you all to be the judges of that. The most Page Viewed Blog Post is the one where I reviewed the Goblet of Fire Ultimate Edition. BUT it is tied with the one where I came back to Potter's Army after Christmas. I am really hoping that you all will continue to enjoy Potter's Army as I continue to do more and more Blog Posts. I thank you again for all of your loyalty to the blog here. I love doing the posts for all of you Harry Potter fans. I love to hear feedback from all of you about my posts, good or bad. So, thanks again for helping me get to 100 blog posts here on Potter's Army because I couldn't have done it without all of you fans.

P.S.
I won;t be able to get out another Blog Post until later tonight, I might get one out. I am not 100% sure about posting tonight though, but just look at some old posts from the beginning of the blog! :D

Book Seven, Chapter Seventeen Excerpt

Well hey readers! As I said, I am going to do a Harry Potter book excerpt tonight! This one is special though. Why? Well if you cannot recognize the above image, it is from Deathly Hallows. Yeah, that is right my very first Book Excerpt here on Potter's Army from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I hope you will enjoy the selection I have picked out for you tonight. Remember though that I do not own any of the rights to the following selection. Jo Rowling and all of her publisher's own the rights to this book. I am just putting it up here for a fun little excerpt once and awhile. So enjoy!

BOOK EXCERPT:

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

CHAPTER 17 (starts on page 346)

BATHILDA'S SECRET

"We got away."
"Yes," said Hermione. "I had to use a Hover Charm to get you into your bunk, I couldn't lift you. You've been. . . Well, you haven't been quite. . . . ."
There were purple shadows under her brown eyes and he noticed a small sponge in her hand: She had been wiping her face.
"You've been ill," she finished. "Quite ill."
"How long ago did we leave?"
"Hours ago. It's nearly morning."
"And I've been. . . .what, unconscious?"
"Not exactly," said Hermione uncomfortably. "You've been shouting and moaning and . . . things," she added in a tone that made Harry feel uneasy. What had he done? Screamed cruses like Voldemort, cried like the baby in the crib?
"I couldn't get the Horcrux off you," Hermione said, and he knew she wanted to change the subject. "It was stuck, stuck to your chest. You've got a mark; I'm sorry, I had to use a Severing Charm to get it away. The snake bit you too, but I've cleaned the wound and put some dittany on it. . . ."
He pulled the sweaty T-shirt he was wearing away from himself and looked down. There was a scarlet oval over his heart where the locket had burned him. He could also see the hale-healed puncture marks to his forearm.
"Where've you put the Horcrux?"
"In my bag. I think we should keep it off for awhile."
He lay back on his pillows and looked into her pinched gray face.
"We shouldn't have gone to Godric's Hollow. It's my fault, it's all my fault, Hermione, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. I wanted to go too; I really thought Dumbledore might have left the sword there for you."
"Yeah well . . . we got that wrong, didn't we?"
"What happened Harry? What happened when she took you upstairs? Was the snake hiding somewhere? Did it just come out and kill her and attack you?"
"No," he said. "She was the snake. . . . or the snake was her. . . . all along."
"W-what?"
He closed his eyes. He could still smell Bathilda's house on him: It made the whole thing horribly vivid.
"Bathilda must've been dead a while. The snake was . . . was inside her. You-Know-Who put it there in Godric's Hollow, to wait. You were right. He knew I'd go back."
"The snake was inside her?"
He opened his eyes again: Hermione looked revolted, nauseated.
"Lupin said there would be magic we'd never imagined," Harry said. "She didn't want to talk in front of you, because it was Parseltongue, all Parseltongue, and I didn't realize, but of course I could understand her. Once we were up in the room, the snake sent a message to You-Know-Who, I heard it happen inside my head, I felt him get excited, he said to keep me there. . . and then . . ."
He remembered the snake coming out of Bathilda's neck: Hermione did not need to know the details.
". . . . she changed, changed into the snake, and attacked."
He looked down at the puncture marks.
"It wasn't supposed to kill me, just keep me there till You-Know-Who came."
If he only managed to kill the snake, it would have been worth it, all of it. . . . Sick at heart, he sat up and threw back the covers.
"Harry, no, I'm sure you ought to rest!"
"You're the one who need sleep. No offense, but you look terrible. I'm fine. I'll keep watch for a while. Where's my wand?"
She did not answer, she merely looked at him.
"Where's my wand, Hermione?"
She was biting her lip, and tears swam in her eyes.
"Harry. . ."
"Where's my wand?"
She reached down beside the bed and held it out to him.
The holly and phoenix wand was nearly severed in two. One being fragile strand of phoenix feather kept both pieces hanging together. The wood had splintered apart completely. Harry took it into his hands as though it was a living thing that had suffered a terrible injury. He could not think properly: Everything was a blur of panic and fear. Then he held out the wand to Hermione.
"Mend it. Please."
"Harry, I don;t think, when it's broken like this-"
"Please, Hermione, try!"
"R-Reparo."
The dangling half of the wand resealed itself. Harry held it up.
"Lumos!"
The wand sparked feebly, then went out. Harry pointed it at Hermione.
"Expelliarmus!"
Hermione's wand gave a little jerk, but did not leave her hand. The feeble attempt at magic was too much for Harry's wand, which split into two again. He stared at it, aghast, unable to take in what he was seeing. . . . the wand that had survived so much. . . ."
"Harry," Hermione whispered so quietly he could hardly hear her. "I'm so, so sorry. I think it was me. As we were leaving, you know, the snake was coming for us, and so I cast a Blasting Curse, and it rebounded everywhere, and it must have-must have hit-"
"It was an accident," said Harry mechanically. He felt empty, stunned. "We'll-we'll find a way to repair it."
"Harry, I don't think we're going to be able to," said Hermione, the tears triclking down her face. "Remember . . . . remember Ron? When he broke his wand, crashing the car? It was never the same again, he had to get a new one."
Harry thought of Olivander, kidnapped and held hostage by Voldemort; of Gergorovitch, who was dead. How was he supposed to find himself a new wand?
"Well," he said, in a falsely matter-of-fact voice, "well, I'll just borrow yours for now, then. While I keep watch."
Her face glazed with tears, Hermione handed over her wand, and he left her sitting beside his bed, desiring nothing more than to get away from her.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this Book Excerpt Blog Post! I know it was quite longer than usual ones, but I thought it should be special since it's my last double digit Blog Post! I will do another post tonight, and it will be EXTREMELY special because it is my 100th Blog Post! :) So, make sure you tune in for that tonight! :D Thanks for reading Potter's Army again, never would be where I am today with the blog if it wasn't for all of you!
