I wonder how he felt. . . .

Hey readers! Sorry about last night, and the fact of no post! I was just busy reading, so it isn't like I was doing nothing Harry Potter last night. It is just I am so addicted to reading Order of the Phoenix, so I thought I would just do a couple today! Sorry, though because I did say I was going to do a Blog Post, but I never ended up doing one. I will be doing a couple today hopefully, but I just do not know for 100% sure. I have been down in page views in these past day, but I am thanking all of you who have remained loyal to Potter's Army! Thanks for continuing to read Potter's Army Blog Post's, and being loyal to the blog! :D Well, lets get to this Blog Post shall we?

Remus Lupin, one of the creators of the Marauder's Map. His nickname is, Moony, as his friends would have called him when they were all younger. What really do I want to talk about with him? Well I don't really want to talk about him directly (well not yet anyway). I want to talk about the fact that he lost all of his friends, but yet he was still alive (for a little while). Know what I mean though? I mean, I wonder how he felt about all of this. His friend, James Potter, had died, then they found out Peter Pettigrew was in fact on Voldemort's side, and then Sirius Black had died at the end of Order of the Phoenix. I wonder how he felt about all of this. Like he was the last one of his friends to yet be alive fighting against Lord Voldemort. Well, I wonder if he was at any point like going insane because he was the last one of his friends that was alive! Did he ever say anything in the Harry Potter books that might have lead us to think this? The only thing I could really think is that he, Lupin (like Sirius), thought Harry to be James, and wanted to go with him in Deathly Hallows. I know he also wanted to get away from Tonks because he felt guilty for marring her because he felt like he embarrassed or disgraced her. You get what I am trying to say? Can you think of anything else in the books that might lead him to be upset or anything? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you can please, then I will put it up on here for everyone to read. If I find anything of course I will put it up on here for all of you!

Well I hope you enjoyed that bad and short Blog Post! I know it wasn't very good, but I will do another one tonight, that is a whole lot longer and a whole lot better! Thanks again for all of the views you all have given me! :)

A Kreacher's Tale

Hey readers, sorry about last night and not getting a Blog Post up! I fell asleep earlier than I thought I was going to while I was reading last night, so yeah sorry! I am back though this afternoon, I would have blogged sooner, but I had to go help out on the farm early this morning until like 1:30. Anyways, I am here and doing a Blog Post for all you loyal fans. Thanks for all the page views since last night, it means a lot to me. It really does, but now lets get to this Blog Post shall we?

Well see the image above? We all know who that is from seeing the Harry Potter Movies am I right? Kreacher the House-Elf. Guess right? Ha, well that could I possibly talk about him in this Blog Post? Well hm, I am going to ask/answer these questions: Do you like Kreacher? Do you feel sorry for Kreacher? What do you think happens to Kreacher after the Deathly Hallows book? I am going to of course answer those questions for myself, but I want you to answer them to, and then email them to me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com please? One other question I am going to ask/answer is though: what do you think the relationship between Dobby and Kreacher was? Well I am going to start with that question actually. So what do I think the relationship between Dobby and Kreacher's was? Well I think they had a somewhat civil relationship, not a entirely friendly one, but they got along and did what they had to do to help Harry without fighting and such stuff! Get what I mean? Like Kreacher didn't try and be mean to Dobby, like he was to Hermione and the Weasley's in Order of the Phoenix. Do you all get what I am saying? Well second question to answer, Do I like Kreacher? Hm well I would probably say yes and no. Yes, because he was friendly to Harry, Ron, and Hermione in Deathly Hallows after the beginning part there. He did help them out a lot, by taking care of them, but then of course they left him on accident. He then though helped at the Battle of Hogwarts too. So, yes I like him, but there is a reason though that I still do not like him too much yet. Order of the Phoenix is the real reason to why I do not like him, and there is still a little hate against him, why? Well if it wasn't for him, Sirius would probably still be alive right now. Harry would not have had to deal with all that if it wasn't for what Kreacher did in OOTP. Now another question I had was, do I feel sorry for Kreacher? Hmmmmm, I am going to have to say yes! I feel bad for all House-Elf because they are like slaves, but yes I still feel sorry for Kreacher. He had no real friends or what ever you say. Like no one who really was actually nice to him (like Dobby had). He did though have Regulas, but Regulas ended up dying and Kreacher had to watch him die. His best friend, his real companion, and then he had to watch him die. It is really sad, I think I remember crying while reading that part in the book, but I am not 100% sure what I did though. Did you cry when we found out his true story? Now what do I think happened at the end of Deathly Hallows, what do I think happened with Kreacher's future? Hm, well I actually think he went of to live the rest of his life serving Harry. I don't think he live much longer, he was quite old, but I think he served Harry until the end of his time. I think Harry would have allowed it too, since they had really bonded in the early part of Deathly Hallows. Of course I am not sure what happened to him, that is just a guess, but that is what I would like to think had happened to him in the end.

Well thanks for reading to all of you. I hope you enjoyed this Blog Post as much as I enjoyed writing it for all of you to read. I know it might not be my best post, I don't think it is all to great. Remember though to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with answers to the above questions, questions you have for me, comments, suggestions, a PicPost, contest entry form, or your very own Potter's Army PicPost! Thanks again for reading Potter's Army, and remaining loyal to the blog!

Goosebumps Scene: Two-Faced Quirrell

Hey readers! Thanks for all the views today, and remaining loyal to Potter's Army! Here is a new Blog Post for all of you. It is not the new type of Blog Post like I said I was going to do! I just do not have the time to do it tonight, maybe I will do it tomorrow night, BUT I am going to do another Post tonight, it just won't be until later. So, I am hoping that you all will enjoy this Blog Post, as it is another Goosebumps Blog Post!

Well, well, well as you can see tonight's Goosebumps Blog Post is going to be from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movie! What part? Well I am guessing that all of you Harry Potter fans out there can guess what scene in SS this is from, right? Well I am going to explain anyway. Ha, so this is from the scene in SS, when Harry goes through the trapdoor and finally reaches the final task to get past, to get the Stone. He meets up with Professor Quirrell though, who we all know has Lord Voldemort at the back of his head, sharing a body together. We do not find this out until a little bit later. Now what exact part is the goosebumps come from for tonight's post? Hm. . . well roughly when we hear Lord Voldemort raspy voice, but we do not have any idea where it is coming from. I also get goosebumps from when Quirrell starts to unravel the turban around his head to reveal Voldemort. I just get goosebumps during those scene almost all the time when I watch it. I usually don't get them lately, but if I have not seen the movie in a long time I start to gets some goosebumps going on. Why do I think I get them during the scenes? Well I will answer that, but firstly I want you to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you get goosebumps during this scene, and why you think you do! What causes you to get them goosebumps? Well I think for me, once again, is the music that is playing. It just sets up the mood of the scene so well. I know I say that a lot about the music, but that is just what it does and supposed to do! That is not the only reason though I think I get them goosebumps. I also think I get them because during the whole movie we are waiting for this to happen, something to do with this evil wizard, and then we finally get to see him unraveled before us. Get what I mean by saying that? It is just the whole movie sets you up the entire time about how evil he is and everything, and then we hear this voice to with we do not know who it belongs to. Then he is revealed, face and all, right before our eyes. There is one more part in this scene that I get goosebumps though during. When Harry burns/kills Quirrell. It just gives me the bumps, do you get them during that part too? I think it the fact that Harry could overpower a powerful wizard, with 100 times more training, and he (Quirrell) couldn't stop Harry! Just shows us how much power can come from someone just as small as Harry! Get what I mean kind of? Well yeah those scenes just give me the goosebumps, what about you though? Do you get some goosebumps during these scenes? If so why do you think you do? Email it to me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com and it could go up on Potter's Army here! :D

Well thanks for reading all you loyal fans of Potter's Army! Hope you all enjoyed this Goosebumps Scene Blog Post! I know not the longest, but hope you liked it none the less! Remember that I will be doing another post later on tonight! I dunno about what yet but you could email me with some suggestions at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com, also email me with answers to above questions, questions of your own to me, suggestions for the Blog, comments about this post, your own PicPost, or even your very own Potter's Army Blog Post! Thanks again for reading Potter's Army, and remaining to be loyal to it!

Book Five, Chapter One Excerpt


Hey readers! Sorry again about last night and the fact of no blog post! I will be doing another one though tonight! It will be a different blog post though, it will be a lot a lot A LOT LONGER! I will explain it in that Blog Post! So, now I am going to get into this Blog Post right away, which is a Book Excerpt, because I was going to do one last night, but didn't because I needed a break from everything last night! So lets get to it, but before that remember that I do not own any of the rights to this excerpt. They all go to J.K. Rowling and her publishers. I hope you all enjoy today's excerpt.

BOOK EXCERPT:

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

CHAPTER ONE

DUDLEY DEMENTED (starting on page 3)

"Dudders out for tea?"
"At the Polkisses'," said Aunt Petunia fondly. "He's got so many little friends, he's so popular. . ."
Harry repressed a snort with difficulty. The Dursleys really were astonishingly stupid about their son, Dudley; they had swallowed all of his dim-witted lies about having tea with a different member of his gang every night of the summer holidays. Harry knew perfectly well that Dudley had not been to tea anywhere; he and his gang spent every evening vandalizing the play park, smoking on street corners, and throwing stones at passing cars and children. Harry had seen them at it during his evening walks around Little Whinging; he had spent most of the holidays wandering the streets, scavenging newspapers from bins along the way.
The opening notes of the music that heralded the seven o'clock new reached Harry's ears and his stomach turned over. Perhaps tonight-after a month of waiting-would be the night-
"Record numbers of stranded holidaymakers fill airports as Spanish Baggage-handlers' strike reaches its second week-"
"Give 'em a lifelong siesta, I would," snarled Uncle Vernon over the end of the newsreader's sentence, but no matter: Outside in the flower bed, Harry's stomach seemed to unclench. If anything had happened, it surely would have been the first item on the news; death and destruction were more important than stranded holidaymakers. . . .
He let out a long, slow breath and stared up at the brilliant blue sky. Every day this summer had been the same: the tension, the expectation, the temporary relief, and then the mounting tension. . . and always, growing more insistent all the time, the question of why nothing had happened yet. . . .
He kept listening, just in case there was some small clue, not recognized for what it really was by the Muggles-an unexplained disappearance, perhaps, or some strange accident. . . . but the baggage-handlers' strike was followed by the news on the drought in the Southeast ("I hope he is listening next door!" bellowed Uncle Vernon, "with his sprinklers on at three in the morning!"); then a helicopter that almost crashed in a field in Surrey, then a famous actress's divorce fromm her famous husband ("as if we're interested in their sordid affairs," sniffed Aunt Petunia, who had followed the case obsessively in every magazine she could lay her bony hands on).
Harry closed his eyes against the now blazing evening sky as the newsreader said, "And finally, Bundgy the budgie has found a novel way of keeping cool this summer. Bundgy, who lives at the Five Feathers in Barnsley, has learned to water-ski! Mary Dorkins went to find out more. . . ."
Harry opened his eyes again. If they had reached water-skiing budgerigars, there was nothing else worth hearing. He rolled cautiously onto his front and raised himself onto his knees and elbows, preparing to crawl out from underneath the window.
He had moved about two inches when several things happened in very quick succession.
. . . . . . . .

Well I am all hoping you have enjoyed today's Book Excerpt! Remember I will be doing another new thing on Potter's Army tonight (hopefully). So, make sure you tune back in tonight to see what it is! Also thanks for reading Potter's Army, and remaining to be loyal to it!

A birthday of a PicPost

Harry's first cake, and because of that cake, Dudley got his pig tail. Haha! I remembered when Harry was making a cake drawing out of sand and greet his self a happy birthday, pitied on him. OK, just want this cake to be remembered. Ha :D

P.S. Hey readers! Look for at least two more posts from me tonight, a Book Excerpt and a new type of blog post! So make sure you tune in tonight ;)

Aren't you a tad worried?

Hey readers! Wow, thank you for all the page views last night. When I woke up this morning, and checked page views on my iPad I saw that I had 51 page views! All I wanna say is thank you, thank you, and thank you! Today/Tonight is so far the most successful day on Potter's Army. Thanks, I could not believe it when I logged on this morning, it had to sink in first! It is just amazing how many views I got. It has made me extremely happy! Now I am rewarding you all with this Blog Post! See the above image, have you seen it yet? I am guessing no, but there could be a couple of you out there who have seen it. I am guessing not though. Anyways does the image look kind of familiar. It is a NEW IMAGE FROM PART TWO!!!!! I am guessing it is either from the Gringotts scene, or otherwise it is from the it is in the Room of Requirement. I am not 100% sure what scene this could be though, but all I know is that it is an Image from Part Two (and which I think not very many people have seen[not 100% sure about all of you though]). Well I thought I would use it as the head picture for this Blog Post since I am going to be talking about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two in this post. So, I am hoping that you all will enjoy this Blog Post. I just wanna say thanks again for all the views I have gotten from all of you! ;)

Well if you do not have not yet read last night's Blog Post, A Disappointment, well you kind of will need to, to understand today's (this) post! In last nights post, I talked about how the Harry Potter film, Order of the Phoenix, was a huge HUGE disappointment, compared to the book. Now, I wanna just talk about this fact that we have not yet seen Deathly Hallows Part Two yet, and we are appraising it as, "it's going to be the best Harry Potter film EVER!" or something like, "it's going to be so EPIC!!" We have not seen it though, so how do we know how good this movie is going to be? Am I right? How in the world can we make that assumption when we do not know for 100% sure that it is all that great? I am not trying to insult the Harry Potter film franchise in anyway or anything, but I am just stating the fact that we cannot assume that it is going to be the greatest Harry Potter film of all time! Why am I saying all of this? Well just like in my last posts, I don't wanna get my hopes up again and then have them fall after seeing the film. I don't want it to disappoint me! Of course I am still going to say its going to be so epic and all of that when trailers and things come out for Part One, but I am not going to be "too" excited because I don't want to be disappointed again like I was with Order of the Phoenix. Aren't you just a bit worried that it will not live up to all of our expectations? Like we all think it is going to be this epic battle scenes and a great finale for the Harry Potter films, but what if isn't what we expect? I don't wanna burst anyone's bubble or excitement about this film. Don't get me wrong I am SUPER SUPER EXCITED FOR PART TWO! It's just I am not going to have high expectations at the moment for the film, so I am not disappointed with the end to the Harry Potter films in July. You all get what I mean by saying all of this? I just don't want to be disappointed with the ending to the Harry Potter franchise. I know that Part One lived way beyond my expectations, and that's why I am expecting Part Two to be ever more amazing, its just I wish I wasn't feeling this way so I do not have to be worried about being disappointed if we do get disappointed. I am believing though that David Heyman will not let us down, he is a good Producer and cares about the films, but it is just that he has already let us down once already, but I think he knows that too and is stepping up a bit with the final film that has yet to be released! So yes I do have expectations for Part Two (even though I know I shouldn't), but all I am is a tad bit worried.

Well I am hoping you all have enjoyed this blog post! I hope I didn't upset anyone in anyway, it is just what I think. Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you feel the same way or even if you feel a bit differently about this topic. Remember to email with your own questions you have for me, suggestions for the blog, comments about this post, your PicPost, or even a Blog Post for Potter's Army of your own because remember you are apart of the blog too! Thanks again for reading, and I hope you choose to remain loyal to Potter's Army!

P.S.
Thanks again for all the page views last night. I will be doing a couple more posts tonight I believe! So make sure you tune back in here tonight :)

A Disappointment?


Well hey readers! Wow is all I can say right now. Thank you for being loyal to Potter's Army all of you! At one point I had six page views, I come back from a phone call, and I have 28 page views! All I can really say is thank you all of you who are remaining loyal to Potter's Army! If their are new viewers of Potter's Army out their, well thanks for joining the "cause" and I hope you continue to view Potter's Army here. Well shall we get to tonight's last post?

Well on July 11th, 2007 (USA), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released in theaters! I was looking forward to this movie greatly! This book was my favorite (this was of course before Deathly Hallows, which was released 10 days later) in the series at the time. I loved it. It just showed so much of Hogwarts that we had never seen. It was a longer book, which I love. It really got into Harry's Story. I mean like really in-depth. A lot of people don't like this book for some reason. They say this was the worst book, because it kind of just drags on, but I absolutely love this one! My second favorite Harry Potter book, because of Deathly Hallows. So, yeah needless to say I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Ron paying Quidditch but nope! In my eyes the whole Order of the Phoenix film was a complete DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! I have went over the book to the film, and over half of the book was cut out! Now, I know its a long book and they have to cut out things to make it in a decent time frame. Though this I do not believe is acceptable, it is the longest book BUT the shortest movie (and still is). How in the world does that work out? You didn't need to cut over half the book. I have looked it over dozens of times, and it is true, over half of the book is missing from this film. Things like: Ron playing Quidditch, Snape/Sirius fight on Christmas break, Dobby, Kreacher Scenes, Educational Decree, Quidditch in general, Two-Way Mirror, and lots lots more! I could go on and on about what they cut out! The Two-Way Mirror was really actually important, hence they did use it (and not explain it) in Deathly Hallows Part One. Dobby really needed to be added in every film that he was in the book, but they just POPPED him in Part One. Their should have been at least a mention of him in the other movies. Oh well though. Yeah, I thought the whole film those was a huge disappointment though. I had very high expectations for it though, and I believe that could have been the problem. I have kind of learned to like it more and more every time I see it! I do love the Possession Scene though, as I have already said in a previous post! I also love the Voldemort/Dumbledore Fighting scene! Their were of course good parts, but most of it was just a disappointment to me though. What do you think though? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com what you think about Order of the Phoenix film? Do you like the 5th Harry Potter book, is it your favorite after the Deathly Hallows book? Or do you think it is the worst Harry Potter book like others? Just curious what other Harry Potter fans think. One more thing I do have to say on this subject though is that David Yates did a good job directing though! I really do like him as the director of the final films, he is doing an excellent job. Lets just hope he doesn't disappoint us with Part Two of Deathly Hallows now. . . . . .

Well I am hoping you all have enjoyed this blog post, and continue to enjoy Potter's Army as I continue to do Blog Post's for all of you! Thanks again for all the views! I really enjoy knowing that people do actually read this. I am asking you though for help in spreading the word about the Potter's Army blog is you can in anyway you can please? Thanks if you do! I love seeing people read Potter's Army. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with answers to the above questions, your own questions for me, suggestions, comments, a PicPost, or your very own Potter's Army Blog Post! Remember you can do that because YOU are apart of the blog. Thanks again though for being loyal to Potter's Army, and continuing to read the Blog Posts that I create for all of us Harry Potter fans!

P.S.
This above Blog Post has got somewhat to do with another Blog Post that I will be putting up online tomorrow, so make sure that you tune back in here at Potter;s Army for the rest of the Story! :D

Book One, Chapter Fifteen Exceprt

Hey readers! Well like I said I am going to do another blog post tonight, well two posts actually. So the first of the two I am going to do is a Book Excerpt. Tonight's excerpt is coming from Sorcerer's Stone on Chapter Fifteen! Remember though that I do not own any of the rights to Harry Potter books or anything! Jo and her publisher's of course own all the rights to the book please do not forget this, as I do not want to get into trouble. I just want to put this on here for all of you Harry Potter fans to enjoy a little excerpt from the books we all love. Enjoy!

BOOK EXCERPT:

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE

CHAPTER 15

THE FORBIDDEN FOREST

Things couldn't have been worse.
Filch took them to Professor McGonagall's study on the first floor, where they sat and waited without saying a word to each other. Hermione was trembling. Excuses, alibis, and wild-cover-up stories chased each other around Harry's brain, each more feeble than the last. He couldn't see how they were going to get out of trouble this time. They were cornered. How could they have been so stupid as to forget the Cloak? There was no reason on earth that Professor McGonnagall would accept for their being out of bed and creeping around the school in the dead of night, let alone being up the tallest Astronomy Tower, which was out-of-bounds except for classes. Add Norbert and the Invisibility Cloak, and they might as well be packing their bags already.
Had Harry thought that things couldn't have been worse? He was wrong? He was wrong. When Professor McGonagall appeared, she was leading Neville.
"Harry!" Neville burst out, the moment he saw the other two. "I was trying to find you to warn you, I heard Malfoy saying he was going to catch you, he said you had a drag-"
Harry shook his head violently to shut Neville up, but Professor McGonagall had seen. She looked more likely to breathe fire than Norbert as she towered over the three of them.
"I would never have believed it of any of you. Mr. Filch says you were up in the Astronomy Tower. It's one o'clock in the morning. Explain yourselves."
It was the first time Hermione had ever failed to answer a teacher's question. She was staring at her slippers, as still as a statue.
"I think I've got a good idea of what's been going on," said Professor McGonagall. "It doesn't take a genius to work it out. You fed Draco Malfoy some cock-and-bull story about a dragon, trying to get him out of bed and into trouble. I've already caught him. I suppose you think it's funny that Longbottom here heard the story and believed it, too?"
Harry caught Neville's eye and tired to tell him without words that this wasn't true, because Neville was looking stunned and hurt. Poor, blundering Neville-Harry knew what it must have cost him to try and find them in the dark, to warn them.
"I'm disgusted," said Professor McGonagall. "Four students out of bed in one night! I've never heard of such a thing before! You, Miss Granger, I thought you had more sense. As for you, Mr. Potter, I thought Gryffindor meant more to you than this. All three of you will receive detentions-yes, you too, Mr. Longbottom, nothing gives you the right to walk around school at night, especially these days, it's very dangerous- and fifty points will be taken from Gryffindor."
"Fifty?" Harry gasped-they would lose the lead, the lead he's won in the last Quidditch match.
"Fifty points each," said Professor McGonagall, breathing heavily through her long, pointed nose.
"Professor-please-"
"You can't-"
"Don't tell me what I can and can't do, Potter. Now get back to bed, all of you. I've never been more ashamed of Gryffindor students."
A hundred and fifty points lost. That put Gryffindor in last place. In one night, they'd ruined any chance Gryffindor had for the House Cup. Harry felt as though the bottom had dropped out of his stomach. How could they ever make up for this?

Well I am hoping you all enjoyed that Book Excerpt that I have chosen for today! Thanks again for remaining to be loyal to Potter's Army! I will do another random Harry Potter post later on tonight! Again I am hoping that you enjoyed this post, and will continue to enjoy Potter's Army in the future!

An Owl of a relationship

Hey readers! Sorry about the fact of no post yesterday! I tried and tired to get a post out yesterday, but I did not have the time (work and had to go shopping), but I my day just kept getting worse and worse too! I will though make it up for all of you today though. I will have another two posts tonight though. One to be a Book Excerpt, and another about something else. Well now another thing before I get to today's first Blog Post I just really wanna say that I am sorry, I had said I was going to do a post everyday of the week, and I didn't get one out lat night! Thank you though to all of you for being ever so loyal to Potter's Army, and I am hoping that you will continue to enjoy my posts. Now shall we get to this Blog Post?

Well on Saturday at my Forensics Meet that I had I got a tweet on Twitter from someone (if you are reading this, Thanks for the brilliant idea), with a brilliant idea for a post. I just loved this idea. The above image is/was supposed to be Ron's Owl, Pigwidgeon. They had never showed 'Pig' in the movies, but I did find a picture of what the Owl was supposed to be. That was not the exact idea this person gave me though. The idea they gave me was the relationship between 'Pig' and Hedwig. I also came up with the idea of what happened to 'Pig?' So, firstly I want to talk about the relationship between the two Owl's and their relationship. Well, they had a very tough kind of relationship. 'Pig' seemed to want to have some kind of relationship, but Hedwig did not approve of 'Pig.' For example in on of the Harry Potter books (not really sure what one it was :0), Harry is mailing a letter to two different people, and uses both Pig and Hedwig to send the letter and 'Pig' gets all excited about mailing the letter and having something to do, but Hedwig does it in a orderly fashion to show 'Pig' how a real Owl does it. (I actually think that was in Order of the Phoenix, not 100% sure though. Someone wan to find it for me? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com please with the correct book that was in.) Then, though after Order of the Phoenix I think we lose mention of 'Pig.' I do not recall 'Pig' being mentioned in the books after Order of the Phoenix do you? Email me if you hear a word of 'Pig' in "Half-Blood Prince" or "Deathly Hallows," because I do not remember Jo mentioning the existence of 'Pig' in the rest of the series after Order of the Phoenix. We all though know what happened to Hedwig :(, BUT WAIT!!! Was 'Pig' mentioned in "Deathly Hallows?" Remember in Deathly Hallows when Mrs. Weasley tells Harry to put Hedwig with 'Pig?' Does she say that? I will have to check that later on, and I will make sure I let you all know if she does, or someone email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if she does please. If she does, why don't Harry, Ron, and Hermione take him with them on their trip? Email me please on what you think about that? I think it might be because it could have given their position away maybe? Email me though what you think about that please. Well, anyways Hedwig and 'Pig' didn't really have to much of a relationship, but the relationship they had wasn't a very friendly one.

Well thanks for reading everyone! I am really hoping you enjoyed this post, and I am sorry again about the fact of no post yesterday! I am hoping to make it up for all of you today! Thanks for reading though again. Remember though to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with the answers to the questions above, comments, suggestions for Potter's Army, questions you might have, your own Potter's Army Blog Post, or a PicPost. Thanks again for reading this Blog Post, and remaining to be loyal to Potter's Army.

"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!

"I don't think I mention a graveyard!"



Hey readers. Sorry about the fact of no post earlier today, I have been busy at school (like always). I said though that I was going to do a couple of Blog Post's today, so here we go with the first one. Before I get to it though I would like to say that Potter's Army is approaching 100 Blog Posts. This Particular Post is the 98th Blog Post I have done here on Potter's Army, so lets get to this post shall we.

Now in this post I want to talk mainly about the graveyard scene in Goblet of Fire. What about it really can I talk about it? Well I know we all know what had happened there, but I want to briefly go over that scene because it has got to be my favorite scene in the Goblet of Fire movie, but I think it hits my top 10 favorite Harry Potter movie scenes. Well we all know that Harry had gotten to the Graveyard in the third task of the Triwizard Tournament. He and Cedric had made it to the cup, but it took them to the graveyard where Lord Voldemort and Wormtail were waiting for Harry. Cedric was killed by Wormtail on Voldemort's orders. Then Harry gets tied up to a statue/tombstone, and the Wormtail starts the incantation/potion thing. "Blood of the enemy!" That is where Harry is needed. Wormtail takes blood from Harry's arm by cutting it with the knife he had just used to cut of his own hand (movie). Lord Voldemort then rises once again. He has taken full body form once again. We all know this, and of course I didn't go into super detail there I just gave the brief overview of what had actually happened in the graveyard. Read Goblet of Fire for a more (and greater) detailed version of that part in the Harry Potter series. Actually read all of the books because they are amazing am I right? Anyway lets get back on subject here. Now what do I really wanna talk about the graveyard for? Well I want to discuss the importance of this scene really. Yes, I know we all know it is an important scene because this is where Lord Voldemort comes back. Well that isn't the importance I am talking about! Rewind four years. What would be today's date? February 2nd, 2007, before Deathly Hallows was out, and when we were giving guesses on if Snape was 'Good or Evil?' Remember those times, ah so long ago. Why did the time have to pass? Okay sorry got to get back on task. Yes so that is what I want to talk about Snape being good or bad. Not a lot to talk about with this graveyard scene, but it is what I want to talk about. I always thought Snape was Good, but I thought Dumbledore was never dead too. I will talk about this all another time though. So what about Snape and this scene. Well while I was waiting for Deathly Hallows I re-read the Harry Potter Books several times, and when I always got to the Graveyard scene here when Lord Voldemort talks to his Death Eaters. He says these words which made me think I was right in Snape being 'Good' like I thought he was, "One, too cowardly to return . . . he will pay." If you do not remember this part in the book, just go to page 650 of Goblet of Fire, this section can be found at the bottom of the page! When he says that though I thought he might be talking about Snape. Which might have been correct though, even though Snape did his apology to Voldemort that we learn about in Half-Blood Prince which makes us to believe he is 'Evil.' We never really know Snape's true fate until the end of Deathly Hallows! :( So yeah I just wanted to point out a significant section in Goblet of Fire, a detail someone could have overlooked. I am sure some of you all made that connection too.

Well, this was kind of a LookBack Post as I would like to call it. I will be doing some more of these kind of posts in the future I think. I know though that this post wasn't a very good one, but I thought I'd put it up here and let you all be the judge though! So, thanks for reading this post though. I hope you enjoyed it! Make sure you tune in tonight or later today for a Book Excerpt, and maybe another Blog Post. A book excerpt for sure though. Also make sure you email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with questions, comments, suggestions, a PicPost, or your very own blog post! Thanks again for reading though, and I really hope you enjoyed this post even though it wasn't all that great! :D

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

Goosebumps Scene: POA Dementor Scene

Well hey readers. I know that this is a late blog post, but I got busy working on the one feature for Potter's Army that people wanted the most. I was asked frequently when was Potter's Army going to be on Facebook. Well I didn't want to start a fan page for Potter's Army on Facebook until I had a computer! Which I know have. So I decided to begin that tonight, so if you have a Facebook Profile, make sure you 'Like' Potter's Army on Facebook now! That is one of the new main features of Potter's Army! :D Along with sharing the Potter's Army blog around your social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook! An easy way to spread the word about the blog around the worldwide web. So please help me in spreading the word about Potter's Army out there. Two more thing's I want to mention quick before I get to the Blog Post is that I have gotten my first real comment in the comments box below each blog! Thank you to you out there who commented! I also got an email with someones picture (above) and a description on why they like this image. This email got my brain working for tonight's post though too. So thank you to you out there if you are reading this. Last thing quick to say is if you want to use my Blog's for any reason please ask me first, as they are my material, I will always say yes if you promise to site your source (link it to me website here) and help spread the word about this blog! Now lets get to this blog post shall we.

I am introducing a new segment again here on Potter's Army. It is called Goosebumps Scene (as you can see in the title), and it means that I am going to talk about scenes in the books or movies of Harry Potter that give us goosebumps when we read or watch them. So now,I got an email tonight as I was working on Potter's Army's Facebook Page. The email was from one of the readers here at Potter's Army. I was all excited because I love getting email's, and feedback from you my readers. Well this person had sent me an image (the above image,) and why she liked this particular image (this person's favorite image). This person had said, "I really love Harry Potter whenever he is casting his patronus (he's cute with his patronus). For me, it is one of the most awaited part in every movie." I want to agree with this particular person with the fact that, "I really love Harry Potter whenever he is casting his patronus." I really do love those scenes in the book and the movie of course. Why do I love these scenes? Well they just give me goosebumps. Like in the above image, in the movie, I love when Daniel yells,"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!" It is just a big scene in the movie. It gives me a whole bunch of goosebumps every time I watch that part in the movie. Then, in the Order of the Phoenix movie I get goosebumps at the beginning when Harry is trying to fight of the Dementors him and Dudley. In Deathly Hallows Part One, well it isn't even fair to say that just that part gave me the chills. The entire movie gave me chills, and still does even though I have seen it six times. Ha, so I can't really even say that part gives me the goosebumps because I have them throughout that entire movie. There is a scene in Order of the Phoenix though that I forgot with the patronuses in them. Dumbledore's Army scene, when Harry is teaching the class how to do patronuses. That scene is also a very good scene too. It gave me goosebumps I think when I first saw it (or maybe a couple times after seeing i, but not anymore). That scene does have a strong feel to it still though. It makes you feel very happy, but then of course Umbridge has to go and ruin everything like usual. Well then, the music they add too these scenes in the movie just, if that music wasn't in there I don't think the scene would have the same chilling affect that it does now. Do you agree though? Do you like the Patronus scenes? Do you think that the music of Harry Potter would have an affect on a scene like that? Email me what you think at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com and even tell me which out of those scenes I mentioned is your favorite patronus scene. You can also leave a comment in the comments section below.

Well I hope you enjoyed this blog post! I know I am giving more info on the Potter's Army stuff, but that will be done by next week, and we will get back to lengthy blog post's again about Harry Potter stuff! :D Just want to say thanks though for reading today, tonight, and into the future! New features for the bog will be coming all weekend, and the new look for the blog will be updated on Sunday! But thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed the actual blog post! :D Email me with comments, suggestions, or any questions you have! Thanks again for reading.

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!"

P.S.
168 days left until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two!! Are you getting excited, nervous, sad, maybe even depressed about the end? Let me know ;)

Going to Blog as a much as Possible




Well, well, well, as I said earlier this week I am going to Blog as much as i can. Well I just wanna say I am going to try and hold true to that by doing a post today!
Firstly though I want to say that I am extremely sorry for the lack of posts this month. I was hoping to get over 100 posts this month. Now I think that might be impossible. I am continuing to worry about losing readers here. I hope that I have not lost any so far. I hope you all continue to be loyal to the Potter's Army blog. I am going to blog a lot more! I know I have said this A LOT, BUT I MEAN IT! I love blogging for all of you readers, but I just don't always have the time to. I know sometimes i blog a lot for a little bit, but then I stop for a little while! Well I am trying to stop that from happening. Now, I just wanna say that I am extremely sorry! I am done saying that now though, and I have some news about the blog and my twitter account.

Firstly I wanna change the blog! Once I get my MacBook Pro, I might bring the blog to become not just a blog on blogger.com here anymore. I wanna create a website for our Potter's Army (soon to be Post-Potter Depression). I will keep the blog up though until I get the sight to perfection (but first I need to get my laptop). Now with twitter, I am not going to tweet so much about the blog anymore and my tweets are going to be much more random; not so often. If you want to contact me from now on please email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com that is going to be the only way to contact me about anything for the blog as I won't be checking my twitter as often as I used to. Now another new feature I am going to create for the blog is a Facebook.com fanpage for you to fan on Facebook! That will not be up of course until I get my MacBook Pro, which should be sometime next month or by March-April! Then except lots of blog posts and reviews of things Harry Potter that I should have reviewed a long long time ago!

Well thank you for reading! Now I want to say before I close this informational blog, that do not expect lots of blog posts while I still have my iPad here. I will blog at the very least once a day when I get my MacBook Pro. One other thing I want to say is that you should expect a post tonight though so you know! So, thank you for reading this post! I hope you remain to be a fan and a reader of Potter's Army! I thank you for remaining loyal to the blog, and to the Harry Potter world!!!

Growing Up with Dan, Rupert, and Emma



Well hello readers! ;) 
As you can see in today's post I am going to talk about how we have literally grown  with the actors of the Harry Potter trio, Dan, Rupert, and Emma of course. I think this is the first time I have done a post about them, and not there character! Before I get to the Blog Post for today, I would just like to mention why I couldn't blog yesterday for you my readers. Well my iPad is basically all I can say! I use my iPad to change the Quote of the Day section on the blog, and to put a new poll up when the current one expires! Which I just think happened with the current one now! Anyways I also use my iPad to do Blog Post everyday and to Tweet! Everything else, the design of the blog, is done on a computer I can get to because I need Adobe Flash. So, now what does this have to do with not blogging yesterday? Well I screen locked my iPad yesterday in school, and then it didn't turn back on when I went to it! So yeah that's basically what happened, but it is fixed now, and I am going to do two blog post's today for you my readers since you didn't get one today. Now let's get to today's first post!!!

Well Dan, Rupert, and Emma (last names, Radcliff, Grint, and Watson) became the Harry Potter trio from the very beginning of the film franchise of Harry Potter. Dan, of course as Harry Potter. Rupert, as we all know is Ronald Weasley. Then we all know Emma plays the part as Hermione Granger. All three of them have done a great part in playing their part in the Harry Potter movies. At first I have to admit, I didn't see Dan as Harry, but he has grow and grow on me and now I can see no other person playing Harry but Dan. What I really want to talk about them is the fact is that we have actually grown with Dan, Rupert, and Emma. What I mean in saying this is that their childhood is Harry Potter. They no other childhood than playing their parts in Harry Potter, and being on stage (and in acting) for their entire childhood. All there childhood consisted of was basically acting the parts they played, being and becoming a family with everyone who made the film possible, and being famous. We have grown with them. Each movie they got a little older. We went through their childhood with them, as they got older and older with each movie. We've come to see them become the great and amazing actors, and actresses that they are today! We have yet to see their final performance of them being the Harry Potter Trio. Part Two as we all know is coming out in theaters on July 15th, 2011. As soon as this hits theaters, it will probably be the last time we are going to see Dan, Rupert, and Emma together again on the big screen. Even a movie in general. They grew up with us over the big screen. What must have been hard for them was to leave it all now. They are officially done and complete with filming for the Harry Potter Film Franchise. It is almost over. All they have left is to do is publicity for Part Two since Part One is complete. If I was them, knowing they are too though, I would be extremely sad about all of this. I know for sure Dan was though, because he hosted a TV awards thing (not 100% sure what) but on there he was and looked very upset all night because that was the night/day they had completely finish filming (excluding the short scene they had to do in December). Dan, Rupert, and Emma grew up on the big screen with all of us fans that enjoyed every performance that they did. 

Well I hope you enjoyed the first blog post that I am doing for today! Remember I am going to be doing another one later tonight while i"m watching Goblet of Fire Ultimate Edition that arrived TODAY!!!!!

Book Three, Chapter Ten Excerpt




Hey readers! Like I said with my "Apologies and Part Two" blog post, I am going to do Book Excerpts of course from the Harry Potter books! Not daily, but every once and awhile I will pick a random Harry spotter book, and a random section from that book and put it on the site here for your reading pleasure! The only thing I want you to remember is that I of course do not own the rights to this excerpt! Joanne Rowling is the created of these wonderful books and she gets all the credit! I do not wanna get in trouble for doing these excerpts so I put the credit to her and her publishers! Well I hope you enjoy the section I have picked out for you today!!!

Today's selection comes from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in chapter ten. I hope you enjoy.

BOOK EXCERPT:

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

CHAPTER TEN

THE MARAUDER'S MAP

Madam Pomfrey insisted on keeping Harry in the hospital wing for the rest of the weekend. He didn't argue or complain, but he wouldn't let her throw away the shattered remains of his Nimbus Two Thousand. He knew he was being stupid, knew that the Nimbus was beyond repair, but Harry couldn't help it; he felt as though he'd lost one of his best friends.
He had a stream of visitors, all intent on cheering him up. Hag rid sent him a bunch of earwiggy flowers that looked like yellow cabbages, and Ginny Weasley, blushing furiously, turned up with a get-well card she had made herself, which sang shrilly unless Harry kept is shut under his bowl of fruit. The Gryffindor team visited on Sunday morning, this time accompanied by Wood, who told Harry (in a hollow, dead sort of voice) that he didn't blame him in the slightest. Ron and Hermione left Harry's bedside only at night. But nothing anyone said or did could make Harry feel any better, because they knew only half of what was troubling him.
He hadn't told anyone about the Grim, not even Ron and Hermione, because he knew Ron would panic and Hermione would scoff. The fact that remained, however, that it now appeared twice, and both appearances had been followed by near-fatal accidents; the first time, he had nearly been run over by the Knight Bus; the second, fallen fifty feet from his broomstick. Was the Grim going to haunt him until he actually died? Was he going to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder for the beast?
And then there were the dementors. Harry felt sick and humiliated every time he thought of them. Everyone said the dementors were horrible, but no one else collapsed every time they went near one. No one else heard the echoes in their head of their dying parents.
Because Harry knew who that screaming voice belonged to now. He had heard her words, heard them over and over again during the night hours in the hospital wing while he lay awake, staring at the strips of moonlight on the ceiling. When the dementors approached him, he heard the last moments of his mother's life, her attempts to protect him, Harry, from Lord Voldemort, and Voldemort's laughter before he murdered her. . . . Harry dozed fitfully, sinking into dreams full of clammy, rotted hands and petrified pleading, jerking awake to dwell again on his mother's voice.

Well I hope you enjoyed this shorter excerpt! In he further I will do a bit longer ones! I just don't have iPad set up to do that this morning, but anyways I hope you enjoyed this excerpt! Remember to email me with comments, questions, or suggestions at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com. You can also email me with one of your very own blog posts! Thanks for reading. :)

2010: a look back of major Harry Potter Events




Well well well HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! It's 2011! This year is going to be the end of the wonderful Harry Potter films on the big screen! July 15th, 2011, is the set date for the end of the Harry Potter film franchise. It's a whole 195 days away. 2011 is bringing the end of it all, but us Harry Potter fans will stick together forever. So we still have a lot to look forward to for this year! Part Two is the most anticipated film of this year, 2011. Now let's get to a look back of what all happened in 2010 in the Harry Potter world!

Well the first thing I am going to talk about that happened in 2010 is probably one of the most obvious, the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One on November 19th, 2010. We as Harry Potter fans have been waiting for the release of this movie since we finished reading the book. I think most of us Harry Potter fans agree that Part One was probably one of the greatest Harry Potter Movies so far, but I am not going to be the judge of that! Everybody has there own opinion. With the release of this movie we also got the video game based on the movie, and also an exceptionally great soundtrack by a new composer for the films, Alexandre Desplat. My opinion was that, that soundtrack was the best out of any of the ones so far! I feel the same way about the video game for Part One. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows really did dominated me! Everything to do with it is the best of the Harry Potter things before it. It might be just be because it is the end of it, but I don't know for sure. So yes that is one huge event of 2010 in the Harry Potter world. (The release of the video game and soundtrack were released within the week Part One movie was released!)

Now, secondly a huge major event that happened in 2010 was the release of a very unique Harry Potter Video game. Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, was released on June 29th, 2010. This was the third set release date for this game (which is awesome). It was delayed twice throughout this year, but it finally came to us on June 29th. I must just say this about that game, that it is a lot of fun and could play it for hours and hours on end! It is a great game for any Harry Potter fan. Explore the Harry Potter world in a whole new way. This game is available for console, computer, and iPhone or iPad! If you have not yet gotten this game I highly recommend you go out to your local store and buy it, or go to the app store on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch now and buy it! It is an awesome game.

The third major thing that happened in 2010 was the opening of the very first Harry Potter theme park! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened up for the first time to the public on June 18th, 2010. I have unfortunately not been able to go to the them park yet so I don't have much to say on this gripping subject. All I can say is that I've heard it is amazing for any Harry Potter fan, and it will blow your mind away! If you have been to the park, please please PLEASE email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your experience of it and what you thought about it so I can let everyone else who reads this blog know! I plan on going to the theme park soonish though. Sometime maybe this year! So yes this was a HUGE event in 2010 for the Harry Potter world.

The last major event of 2010 for the Harry Potter world would have to be the end of Harry Potter filming EVER! This has got to be just about as sad as the end of the book series. I was upset when I found out they were all done filming! It just puts a kind of final weight on the end. The end of a great worldwide phenomenon is coming, but it's not really the end if you know what I mean! We still have to books to read over and over again! We have the movies that we can stay up all day and night watching them in order over and over again, and us Harry Potter fans that are truly loyal will always for as long as we live be Harry Potter fans. Filming may be over but we as Harry Potter fans will always be here for Harry Potter, we will always love this series!!!

Well those were really the major events of 2010 in the Harry Potter world! There may be little events out there! They are just as important, but I just didn't mention them! Harry Potter, everything Harry Potter is important to me! Well I hope you liked this Blog Post about 2010. 2010 is over, and in comes a new year, 2011! We Harry Potter fans have a lot yet to look forward to yet! Part Two (which includes another soundtrack that Alexandre Desplat will have to top, and another video game), rest of the Ultimate Editions, and the completion of the Lego Harry Potter video games! So don't go into Post-Potter Depression (PPD) quite yet, there is still lots of Harry Potter to look out for yet, including the encyclopedia by Jo! So thank you for reading this blog post, and I hope you enjoyed it!!!!
