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!

"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

Going back in time

Hey readers, before we get to today's blog post I wanted to say a few couples thing about the blog like I usually do. Well, I would like to say thanks for all the page views in these past day's as I continue to blog! That was over the weekend though, and now we have reached the week and yet no new battery for my computer! I will not be able to update things to the blog until at night every night (if I can). So, please be patient with me, I will get posts out during the week and update features in the blog, just not until at night. Once I get my battery I can take my laptop to school, and fix up the blog during some of my classes. I use my iPad, now just as a media thing and to check my stats for the blog! I will use it sometime to do a blog post, but I prefer to use my laptop here. So, well thanks for reading all of that, now lets get to the really important thing, THE BLOG POST.

Well, well, well we all know what the above image is from do we not? The third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Well what about this image is so important? Well for tonight's blog post I have decided to do a post on the magical object that was introduced in this book/film, and at this exact part we find out about it (well a little bit after this scene). I think you all know what I am talking about, The Time Turner. Hermione used it to get to all of her classes all year long in their third year at Hogwarts. She took extra classes in her third year, so she need to use the time-turner to turn back time to go back to some of those classes. We all know this from reading the book, but now what I wanna talk about tonight in this blog post is, what if you had a time turner? What would you do with the power to turn back time? Would you change anything in your life that happened? Would you go back in time to go back and change a certain event in history (like 9/11)? What about going to meet someone you've always wanted to see that is now dead? Well I am going to answer some of those questions for me. I want you though to answer them please? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with the answer's to some or all of those questions and I will put it online for other Harry Potter fans to read (if you do not want it online please tell me in the email).

So the first question I asked is: What would you do if you had the power to turn back time, would I change anything in my life that happened? Hmmm. . . I do not think I would do that. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Everything that has happened to me to this day has a certain purpose for happening. An example is that if I never became friends with my friend I would have never met the girl of my dreams. Yes that is a positive thing that happened. A negative thing that happened to me that turned into a positive is that, if I never lost the friend I did, I would still be friend with that jerk today and making my life feel miserable. See everything happens for a reason in my eyes. I do not know about you, but that is how I feel. So yeah I would not go back in time to change anything that happened to me if I had a Time Turner.

Second question I asked was, would you go back in time to change a certain event in history (like 9/11)? Hmmmmm I think this kind of entails with my other answer to the other question. Everything happens for a reason, even though 9/11/01 was a horrific day, it happened for a reason, there was a reasoning for that happening. I think it helped us (American's) realize that we need to fight these terrorists. Thousands of people died, but I still believe everything happens for a reason. So, no I would not go back in time to change a event in history if I had a Time Turner.

Now for the last question, If you had a time turner would you go back in time to go see a certain person that has died? (If so who?) Hmmmmm. . . . . Yes, yes I would. Who would I like to meet? Well not Jo, because she is still alive! :D I think I would want to meet either, Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy. Why? Not really sure. I just thought them as one of our (American's) greatest presidents ever.

Okay okay so there are my answer's to the Time Turner questions. Now I completely forgot that Time Turner's can't take you extremely far back in time! OOOPPPSS :0 Ha, well I would still love to hear your answer's to the questions if you'd like to please because all of you who read this are apart of the blog! Well, thanks though for reading this post. I hope you enjoyed it. It is a longer one, and I hope better but your the judge their. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your answer's, questions you may have about anything (this blog or something Harry Potter), comments, or suggestions for future posts or the design of the blog. Thanks again for reading, I really hope you enjoyed it!

P.S.
Remember their will be another post tonight (Book Excerpt). Remember also that tomorrow I will be posting about the new February Potter's Army Design, answering the question: Why green and blue? Thanks again.

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!"

The end is near . . . but

Well hello readers! Well today's Blog Post as you can see is going to be about something to do with the end of Harry Potter. Well it is going to have to do with the end, but before we get to that I would just like to talk about some info about the newest Potter's Army Look. Well as you can see in the banner above that I have chosen a image from the Deathly Hallows (both parts) trailer for the image, and edited in Potter's Army! Why did I choose this image for this months look? Well sometime this month there is expected to be a Part Two Trailer release (rumored for the 24th). So I thought it necessary to have a Part Two theme for this month. I choose one my all time favorite pictures from any of the Harry Potter film pictures before. I really like this image. So yes that is this months banner. There has been a couple of added features to the blog: like the calendar events which tells you whats coming up to be released in the Harry Potter world, I also added the Part One Worldwide Gross (thought that be some cool info for you fans), and I have also added (been here for awhile now though) some links to images you might like that have the Potter's Army logo on them. So that is about it for new info on the Potter's Army blog page, and now to the Blog Post for today.

Well as I had said today's Blog Post is going to be about the end being so near! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two is going to be released in theaters in just 193 days. July 15th, marks the end of the Harry Potter film franchise. The book franchise has been over for about 4 years now, and all the movies have been released except for the second part of Deathly Hallows. That is about all we have left to look forward to as fans of Harry Potter. Jo has officially said no more books (via text to Danielle Radcliff). The end is near for us fans, BUT as Harry Potter fans the series will never truly be over. I, as a huge Harry Potter fan, promise to remain a Harry Potter fan for as long as I live. Harry Potter will always be in my heart and mind. I will re-read and re-read the books over and over again as I have since they have come to a close. I will watch the movies over and over again. I will have Harry Potter marathon, and watch all the movies in one night whenever they are all available on DVD. The end truly isn't actually here. We still have the books, we still have the movies, and we are all still Harry Potter fans. I don't know about you, but I will always be a fan of this amazing and EPIC series. I will continue to blog for Potter's Army once its all over, Harry Potter will still exist for me. Potter's Army might change its name after July 15th though, we might just become PPD on that fateful day, where us Harry Potter fans get to see the most EPIC and greatest Harry Potter movie of all time. PPD stands for as you might all know, Post-Potter Depression. I am probably going to go into a further state of PPD since the end of the book series. PPD will take over me, but I have this blog to help keep it at somewhat of a lower stage. So, yes that is new information I have just released about the future of Potter's Army! July 15th, is the day that Potter's Army will become Post-Potter Depression officially. It will be the same as Potter's Army, but just a change of the name as Harry Potter will not need his "Army" any longer. Anyways though the end really isn't here, it isn't coming! It's just a whole new beginning! Us Harry Potter fans have to stick together, as I know we will using Potter's Army!

Well I hope you found today's post somewhat inspiring to continue to be a Harry Potter fan when Part Two is finally released. I also hope you liked today's post. Now I was going to do another post tonight because tomorrow I was supposed to be seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One again, but now I cannot. So look forward to a another post tomorrow. I think I might get up early tomorrow morning though, and do one tomorrow morning for you my readers. I think you deserve two blog posts tomorrow, you all have been very loyal to this blog. As you see in the right side there I have well over 1800 page views on Potter's Army (used to be Harry Potter Cause) here. I love you all my readers. It has made me so happy doing this blog for you, and I truly enjoy doing it as I hope you enjoy reading my posts. I am promising to do more posts, one a day at least. Well remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with comments, suggestions, or questions you might have. REMEMBER ALSO that you can email me with your very own Blog Post about anything Harry Potter, and I will put it up here on Potter's Army. "You are apart of the cause!" Remember that! Well thanks again.

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. :)

Jim Broadbent is Horace Slughorn

Well Happy New Years Eve, and in some people's case HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2010 is almost (and is) done and gone! Lots of Harry Potter things have happened in these past months of 2010! First theme park for Harry Potter has opened up, Deathly Hallows Part One was released, Filming is over, and Warner Brothers bought the studio where the Harry Potter films were made!!! That is not what I am here to talk about today for though! That will be tomorrow. Today I am here to talk about Jim Broadbent, and not 2010 being over. I will indeed though talk all about the key major Harry Potter events that happened in 2010 tomorrow, since tomorrow will be 2011 in my country! So now lets get to today's blog post.

Jim Broadbent is a actor in many films, but why he is here on Potter's Army is because in the Harry Potter films he plays Horace Slughorn! Horace Slughorn appears in the Harry Potter world in the 6th book, the Half-Blood Prince! We learn he is a retired Hogwarts Professor, and is hiding in Muggle homes on the run from Death Eaters. Professor Dumbledore recruits him back into teaching to take a memory from him that Dumbledore and Harry need to discover the truth about Horcruxes! We also know that he is the Potions Master at Hogwarts School, NOT the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Now Jim Broadbent is brought into the films of course in the 6th movie, that was released on July 15th, 2009! When I first discovered he was going to be the actor that would play Professor Slughorn, I was a little concerned he wasn't going to fit the part because he didn't fit the description Jo had described him in the book. I WAS TOTALLY WRONG! Jim does an amazing amazing job playing Professor Slughorn! He just fits the part. He was funny, dimwitted at times, and he is a really really good actor! I really liked the Aragog scene with Hagrid and Harry! I really liked it though when it was just him and Harry talking about Harry's mom, and then transforms into the Horcruxes. That scene in the movie was just really emotional I thought. I loved the little added story they put in there about the flower pedal and the fish bowl. It just added an emotional grab to Horace's and Lilly's relationship! It was a really good scene! Another thing I really liked about Jim's performance in the Harry Potter film is that he made is character likable! When reading the book, I didn't know weather to like him or hate him, but after seeing the movie I have based my thoughts and I like his character if you get what I am trying to say. ;) Ha, so what do you think about Jim Broadbent's performance as Horace? What were your favorite parts with him in Half-Blood Prince? Also do you like the character Horace Slughorn or not (if you know what I mean)?

Well I hope you liked today's Blog Post! I will not be doing another one for today because I have an intense New Years Eve/New Years party tonight to be doing! Ping Pong, Video games, and Pirates movies! Look for a post tomorrow though! It will be about 2010. Everything that happened in that year having to do with Harry Potter. Any question, comments, or you have a Blog Post you'd like on Potter's Army just email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with them attached. I love you get all of your feedback! So thank you for reading today's post though, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you!!!!

What is it about Harry Potter posters???

Well as I said I was going to do a Blog Post tonight before tomorrow the last day of 2010! I might do a post tomorrow, but I might be to busy to get one in. I am not 100% sure though. I might get one in! Now though to tonight's blog post.

As you can see it is going to be about the Harry Potter movie posters! Now Chamber of Secrets has almost nothing to do with it! I just choose a random movie from Harry Potter and put it as tonights Blog Post Pic! So let's indeed talk about the wondrous Harry Potter Film posters. Firstly I would love to state which ones I own! As Christmas was just here I did in fact get one movie poster for Christmas! I got the one from Prisoner of Azkaban, with Harry in the front and Professor Lupin lurking near the back of the picture! Another Harry Potter poster I have is the Sorcerer's Stone poster that is on the DVD and Blu-Ray cover. I have one from Goblet of Fire with Harry and the Hungarian Horntail and Mad-Eye Moody in the backgroundish! The last one I have is a Deathly Hallows Part One. This one is with the trio running through the woods. I have all of those posters in the 27 by 41 (i think?) size! They are of course all framed and the actual poster itself hasn't been touched by me! Not that it probably makes no difference. As you noticed though, I do not have no yet for: Chamber of Secrets, Order of the Phoenix, and Half-Blood Prince! I do in fact have two smaller ones for the Half-Blood Prince movie but I need yet to get it in the 27 by 41 size! Now actually one of my Harry Potter posters in very very VERY unique. How so? Well on my Sorcerer's Stone poster, the back has the same exact poster, BUT the lettering is backwards! Weird huh???? Ha! Well that one is very very special to me. Now I ask you: do you have any Harry Potter posters? If so, which movies? Also, do you have any unique ones like mine? Now what is the real purpose of talking about these posters for right?

Well I think they have some kind of meaning to them really! They get us all hyped up for the movies! Like when I just sit in my room all alone i'll look around, and in the end of course I see my self looking at one (of many) of the Harry Potter Posters I have. As I am staring at it I just think about what is all in that particular movie and it all just forms in my head, and then THEN I want to go put that movie in my DVD player or start watching it on my iPad! These Harry Potter posters just really grab the attention of me and make you wanna watch the movie! Another thing I really love about Harry Potter posters is that kind of when you look at them they really tell the story of the movie right in that one photo! I give huge credit to the creators of the posters, and I thank them for grabbing the amazement of Harry Potter in one single photo shot! They are really amazing posters!!!

So yeah this was kind of a mini blogish post! I hope you liked it! Not one of my best probably, but I am still trying to get back in the flow of blogging and all! I hope you enjoyed it anyways! OH, I also forgot to mention that actually today I found a smaller Harry Potter poster, but this one is for the Lego Harry Potter video game! Really, REALLY cool poster though even though it is just the cover enlarged! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Email me with your answers to my questions! I love to get feedback! I really do! It inspires me to keep blogging for Potter's Army. So email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with comments, answers, and suggestions. ALSO I would like you as a reader of Potter's Army to write your very own Blog Post for the Blog! ABOUT ANYTHING HARRY POTTER! Email me your post! Now, thanks for reading again, and I hope you enjoyed today's Welcome Back posts!

Apologies and Part Two

Well firstly all I would like to say right now is that I am extremely EXTREMELY SORRY, that I haven't blogged in forever. I am here to say now (and again) that I am going to try and blog as much as I can! In the past few days I have been thinking about coming back as you could have seen on twitter. I then asked all of my followers if they missed me and I got quite a few people saying they missed my posts on Potter's Army here. That has inspired me to do more blog post and way more often! So yes I am extremely sorry about the past few months! I am back though, and I know some of you might not believe me because I have said this numerous times, but I am vowing my life here to this blog because I love the Harry Potter world and I have no idea what I would do without it! So, all in all I am back to do a lot more posts in this new year as a part of my New Years Resolution (which also includes to read more and complete the 501 Must-See Movies book [will explain that on twitter later]).

Second thing I would love to talk about in this coming back blog post is Part Two and a little bit about Part One still. So let's start with the little bit of Part One. Part One has been in Tuesdays for well over a month now, and has made $862,792,000 dollars in it's worldwide box office. Prisoner of Azkaban is the only one below it in case of Harry Potter movies, and it is the 22nd top grossing film of all time! I am planning on seeing it one more time before it is done in theaters. What about you? Do you plan on seeing it one last time or are you going to wait for the DVD and Blu-Ray? Now there is a rumor about the release date of the DVD and Blu-Ray for Part One! March 2011 is the general area, but the 18th for some reason is an expected date???? Maybe, maybe not! It hasn't been confirmed yet so don't hold tue to that date. Now for some Part Two talk. Part Two comes out July 15th, 2011, as we all know by now! Fandango has released that it is the most anticipated movie of 2011. There also has been some talk of a teaser trailer for Part One being released on January 24th, 2011! If so, I will have it on the site ASAP! So I'm guessing you all know what the theme of Potter's Army here will be in January don't you? Ha, and now another thing about Part Two is that if you look to the right in the entertainment section you see the countdown! Well Part Two is only 197 days away! You getting excited yet? Gonna re-read the series before Part Two?

Well thank you for reading this post if you did! Again I am terribly sorry about the fact that I haven't blogged in forever! I am making a vow to blog a lot more than I have in the past few months. Another thing just to let you know that I will be doing another blog post today, one of my normal ones! I am also thinking of bringing back the Daily Excerpts! Does that sound good? Now please I love to hear feedback from my readers! I really really do! So please either follow me here on blogger, email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com, or tweet to me on twitter (my username is Hpfan7). Another thing I would highly appreciate is if you could spread thhe word about this blog to other fellow Potter Fans! Potter's Army is about us Harry Potter fans, and we must stick together because the end is near! So I hope you enjoyed tis blog post. Look for another one or two sometime today. Thank you agin for sticking with Potter's Army!!!
