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! :)

Sorry again :(

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!

P.S.
I will be doing another post tonight, probably a Book Excerpt! So, make sure you tune back in tonight! :D Maybe two post though ;)

Read a Potter Book

Hey readers, thanks for all the views last night! Sorry about not getting another Blog Post out there for all of you last night. I was just way to tired to do another one, so I thought I would do one this morning since it has actually been awhile since I have done a post this early in the morning. Before I get to this Blog Post though I wanted to remind you that Potter's Army is having a contest to win a unique Harry Potter Picture (on tag board but a picture none the less). Just click here, to see how to win and what you win. So lets get to this post shall we?

Well hm, it has been actually a long time since I have read a Harry Potter book, what about you? Has it been awhile? I think for me it has been about maybe a little less than a year if not more than a year! :( I know sad right? On Thursday though, when I did that No electronic thing, I was thinking of a way to relax and just escape everything that has been going on in my life. Well, I came to the conclusion that reading Harry Potter would do that! That it could take me places that not even my wildest dreams could take me. It can take me into the mind of a completely different world, a completely different person's world. I remember why I loved the Potter series so much, was because it did that to me when a time in my life I didn't see what life was worth living for. Harry Potter saved me, and that is why I love the series so much. It took me to a place where I could never imagine in my own head. Joanne Rowling brought me to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. I thank her greatly for it. I remembered all of that on Thursday, so I decide to walk in my room after work on Thursday and the first Harry Potter book I saw, that would be the book I was going to read that night. It was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (OOTP). So at 6:45 that night, I opened the book, and began to read my second favorite Harry Potter book, which I hadn't read in over a year. I was completely blown out of my chair again by beginning to read it (I haven't gotten very far). So I thought, I should do a Blog Post on this for Potter's Army. Now what I am saying is, to all Harry Potter fans out there, if it had been awhile since you have read any of the Harry Potter book (over 3-5 months), I am telling you now to read a Potter Book! I am about only 72 pages in (I fell asleep at 7:00 that night) Order of the Phoenix, but once I am done I am going to just skip around the series and read them all again. I have realized how much I really do love these books, and how much I really miss reading them. If your friends at school or your parents (like mine) say, "your reading them again?" Just ignore them. They are the books, we Harry Potter fans, love dearly and will always love. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could stop me from reading these books. I love them so much, they saved me. So Read a Potter Book every fan of Harry Potter book, you know what, I said earlier if it has been awhile read a Potter Book? Well, even if you just re-read the series last night (well finished the re-read) go and pick them up again, because they are just that good aren't they? I need an escape again now, so what you think I am going to go do? Read. . . . read. . . . . and read to escape this world. If you follow me on twitter you'll know what that is all about. So, remember though to pick up a Harry Potter book and read it, but especially if you need to escape the world you are in and jump into a new world.

Well I am hoping that you all enjoyed this Post! Thanks again for all the views you all have given me, it just lightens my day to see that people do actually read this Blog Posts, and people from around the world! :D Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with questions, comments, suggestions, a PicPost, Contest entrance, and your very own Potter's Army Blog Post, because YOU are apart of the blog!

P.S.
I will be doing another Blog Post later, but for now I need to go read some Harry Potter again! :)

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!

Michael or Richard as Professor Dumbledore?

Hey readers! Thanks for all the views since last night, I hope you have been enjoy Potter's Army! So here is another one of those blog posts where I am going to talk about an actors performance as their character, and what I think about them playing that part. Before I get to today's first blog post, I thought I would make it more announced about the fact that their is a actual Prize-Winning Contest out their for all of you readers of Potter's Army. Click here, to see what you will actually win. A little better description about it is that it is the Harry Potter initials painted by my sister on tag board in black and gray with a white background. All you have to do to enter to possibly win is email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your favorite Harry Potter Book, Movie, and character, and the winner will be chosen on Feb. 16th, 2011. The winner will be chosen randomly out of a hat actually, so it is completely random! I will then need your address later on to be able to send it to you, but I will only require that if you win! I think I will be doing some more of these later on if you all would like it, and with bigger prizes! Now, shall we get to this Blog Post finally?

Well Micheal Gambon and Richard Harris play the part of Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films. My favorite character he plays, but now what do I think about them playing the part of my favorite character in the films? Hm, well honestly I have grown to really love Micheal being the part of Dumbledore, but at first I hated him and loved Richard. Richard was the perfect Dumbledore. Older looking, kind-look upon his face always, and when he looks disappointed with someone you would just have his yell straight in your face instead of have that look on his face. You know what I mean by saying that? Micheal, though, has just begun to grow on my with his performance in OOTP and HBP! He did just a phenomenal job, I also think that Richard looked to old to be doing all the work Micheal had to do for those parts. Now, WAIT, just a minute! Ha, STOP! Before I get to far into talking about who I like better, I had better explain why (even though most of us probably already know what happened) Micheal replaced Richard as the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts has ever seen. Well we all know that Richard played Professor Dumbledore for the first two films of the Harry Potter franchise, Chamber of Secrets and Sorcerer's Stone. Well after filming Chamber of Secrets (COS), he had developed a serious disease, Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and two weeks before the premiere of COS he had died in his bed. Richard was supposed to be replaced by and old friend of Richard's, Peter O'Toole, but was taken over of course by the man we all know to be Micheal Gambon. A couple of days before Richard had died, Producer, David Heyman, had approached Richard on his death bed. Richard had said not to replace him (don't cast anyone else), that he will be coming back, that he will make it out of this disease. About (I think) a week later Richard had died. Micheal Gambon had take over the spot for Dumbledore, and he brought a whole new meaning to the character! He is witty, and just ingenious with the character! He made it his own character, but at the same time Micheal was just being himself! Now, I have always liked Richard as the true Dumbledore as the first Dumbledore. Micheal though has grown on me like I had said earlier. I don't think that Richard could have done the battle scene with Voldemort in Order of the Phoenix. I also don't think he could have done the Cave scene in Half-Blood Prince! He just seemed a tad bit old for those scenes! Micheal, though, did an amazing job with those scenes and becoming Dumbledore. Now who do I like better for Dumbledore? Well hm, I gonna have to say a combination of the two. I could see Richard playing the part Micheal is going to have to play in Deathly Hallows Part Two, but I do not see him playing the part of an action Dumbledore! Richard is the kind/calm Dumbledore, but Micheal is the action Dumbledore. BUT Micheal can play the kind/calm Dumbledore too that Richard does a good job with. Okay so my final decision would have to be Micheal Gambon. I really like him as Professor Dumbledore in fact. Do not get me wrong though, I LOVE RICHARD HARRIS! It is just Micheal can do all that the part of Dumbledore needs to do! What do you think though? Who do you like better: Richard Harris or Micheal Gambon? And why do you like better who you like better for the part of Albus Dumbledore? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your answers on what an who you think plays the part of Dumbledore better.

Well I am hoping you all enjoyed this Blog Post, and thanks for reading Potter's Army Posts still and being loyal! It all means so much to me, to see how many page views I can get in a day!

P.S.
I will be doing another Blog Post tonight for sure! Just one, I dunno about two for sure yet (got some stuff to do). It will be a Book Excerpt, so make sure you tune back into Potter's Army here again later tonight! I will keep you posted on Twitter! ;)

Harry Potter eBooks?

Well hey readers! I am hoping that you have been enjoying Potter's Army! Here is a Blog Post for all of you for tonight! This is going to be the only other one I am going to do for the night by the way! Just getting tired, and I have lots of other things yet to do! So, I am hoping you all enjoy this post, and as you might have already known from my twitter account but this post I am about to do is based loosely on another post I have done way in the past! So, I am hoping that you all will enjoy this post!

Well as you can probably tell from a lot of previous posts that I do in fact own a iPad! Yes, I LOVE IT!!!! I use it to read a lot a lot of books (but I use Laptop here for the blog)! I use my iPad to read a lot. Now as I said in this previous post about this same topic, I was hoping that when I bought iPad that I could read and carry all the Harry Potter books around with me, everywhere I bring my iPad, but NOPE! J.K. Rowling, the amazing creator of the Harry Potter Book Series, does not want the books to go eBook quite yet. Maybe never in fact! Well in my mind I think she would because it would be truly amazing to be able to carry all the books, music, and Harry Potter movies around with me everywhere on one simple amazing device! I can of course buy the audio book instead of the actual book, but it would be cool to read along with the book, would it now? The other cool thing would be in fact that you know if you need to search about something Harry Potter you could just access it all on the one device. They should actually make that device! One single device that has all the Harry Potter things like: Images, Audio Books, eBooks of each book, Movies, all of the movie soundtracks, and all of the mobile games that the Harry Potter games have had to offer. Doesn't that sound like a cool idea for a Harry Potter product??? Hmmmm. . . . . . I actually really like that! It is the perfect gift for any Harry Potter fan don't you agree? Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you like the idea, or have anything that we could add to this device please? I would really love to have the Harry Potter Books go eBook though! It would be really amazing, I would have all the Harry Potter books with me everywhere I go! Don't you think that would be amazing? Yes, not everyone loves to have eBook format. Not everyone like eReading. People like reading the actual book. I do too, in fact the latest books I have been reading have been actual books (buying "The Autobiography of Mark Twain tonight) , unlike reading on my iPad, but it would be nice to have the books around with me everywhere. Like if you went on a long trip and wanted to bring them all along to read, you wouldn't have to pack all of the books and waste a whole bag on them all! You could put them all on the amazing thin device! Like an iPad or a Kindle? What do you use to eRead if you do? Email me please and let me know? So, yeah what do you think if the Harry Potter Books go eBook, would you buy them all again? I know I would.

Well I am hoping you enjoyed this Blog Post! I know not one of my greatest here on Potter's Army, but I am hoping you enjoyed it! Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with answers to above questions, your own questions for me, suggestions, comments, a PicPost,or your very own Potter's Army Blog Post! Well thanks again for being loyal to Potter's Army here, and I am hoping that you will continue to enjoy future posts.

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

Ralph as the Dark Lord

Hey readers! Was up? Haha just kidding about that, but anyways! At Forensics anyway, working on this post in between rounds! So, here it goes, and I am hoping that you will enjoy it!

Okay so this is something new to Potter's Army where I am going to talk about actors, and how they play the part the are paid to play! Well as you might have noticed in the above image I am going to talk about Ralph Fiennes playing the part of Lord Voldemort! Well well well . . . . I think that he is the absolute PERFECT LORD VOLDEMORT!!!! I do not think I could imagine anyone who could play the part way way better than him. He plays the part just absolutely phenomenally! Ralph is just the perfect Dark Lord! Why? Well I will tell you, but firstly I would like to tell you to please answer the question to (well if you agree with me, in saying that Ralph play Lord Voldemort greatly). Email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com if you do, and why you like Ralph Fiennes as in infamous Lord Voldemort. Well now why do I like Ralph as Voldemort, and why do I think he does a AMAZING job as him? Firstly all I can say is to watch Goblet of Fire, did you see him in that movie? AMAZING! The way he walks around is just exactly how I would and did imagine him when reading the book. His voice is just great, it has that perfect sound to it! I love it. HOW HE LOOKS!!!! EXACTLY HOW I HAD IMAGINED IT, except one tiny feature which I actually understand! His eyes aren't red in the movies like they are supposed to be. They had a reasoning behind that though, why they couldn't or didn't make his eyes red. Well apparently it would look weird or something on the big screen so they make them a different color! I think that was the reasoning behind that, but I am not 100% sure why they did it! It was something along those lines. Which I think I can understand, don't you? The Harry Potter eye thing though bugs the freak out of me! Anyways though, yes he look just like Voldemort is supposed to look like, but of course that isn't all Ralph's fault. The makeup team from Harry Potter I must thank for that because if it wasn't for him he wouldn't look anything like that. I also though have to thank the special effects team because if it wasn't for them Ralph's nose wouldn't look anything like it does on the screen. That is actually all CGI work there. Then in Order of the Phoenix, he does another outstanding performance in the battle with Dumbledore. Also I like him in the scene where he like possesses Harry. He is really good in that scene, especially when he says, "Your a fool Harry Potter, and you will lose everything!" I just absolutely love it! Then, though, in Half-Blood Prince we do not have his presence at all in fact, but then of course we do in Deathly Hallows Part One. WOW! The veins on his forehead seem to be more dense and a lot darker, which makes him look evil even more and outstandingly disgusting which I love for his part! I really think he could and should get a Oscar or something for his performance in Part One, I am not even kidding! He does such a great job in this film. You feel just how evil he really is in this film, and I just love it, it gives you the goosebumps I believe. I just wanna go see the movie again now because I can't describe it and do justice to his part in the film. GO SEE IT! He does a great great job in the movie. Ralph Fiennes is the Dark Lord I believe, and I cannot wait to see what he brings to us for the final film in the Harry Potter franchise.

Well I am hoping you kind of enjoyed this blog post! I know not one on my many greatest, but a Blog Post none the less! Thanks for all the page views yesterday by the way! It is just amazing to see how many people visit my site in a day! I love you all for remaining to be loyal to the blog, and hopefully helping spread the word about the blog to any Harry Potter fans out there. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your answers to the questions in the above post, your very own questions for me, comments, suggestions for the blog, your own blog post (because you are apart of the blog), and your own PicPost. Thanks again for reading, and I am hoping you continue to enjoy Potter's Army!

Did anyone even know?

Hey readers! Thanks for all the views from my last posts! Been getting a lot, and it just makes me happy to see that people are viewing my posts! Thank you, so I thought I should do one tonight for all of you before tomorrow. Thought you might like this one. I had a stroke of genius with tonight's Blog Post! I am really hoping that you will all enjoy it, but before I get to tonight's post I thought I should let you all know what is going on tomorrow and when to expect a Blog Post! Well I have Forensics (also known as 4N6) tomorrow, and I will be at a college performing with my group. So, I am of course going to bring my laptop, and in between performances I thought I would work on a post for all of you! It might take awhile, but I am guessing I can finish one sometime tomorrow while doing our performances. Otherwise I will of course blog tomorrow night, I will even blog tomorrow night either way. Just thought I would let you know about whats going on tomorrow, you might not care as long as you get a blog post, but I just thought I should let you know. If you feel like I have wasted your time in just reading all of that, well to bad and I am sorry. ;) So, now lets get to this Blog Post tonight shall we?

So have any idea what I am going to talk about in this Post? Kind of a mystery isn't it? Hmm. . . . well what can we tell from the above image about what it could possibly be about? Well we know it is something about Ronald. We also know that it is from the 3rd film, yes the film! Hmmm. . . . what is it going to be about? Well I'll just tell you I guess shall I? See the little mouse Ron is holding in his hand in the image above? Yes, I am talking about Scabbers! That is tonight's topic! Now what about him? Well what is the title of this Blog Post? Did anyone even know, hm well what does that mean right? Well I am wondering if anyone even could have guessed from just reading the first two books in the series, Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, that Ron's Rat, Scabber's, was in fact Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew who turned over James and Lily Potter's location to Lord Voldemort! Did anyone even have a hunch that the rat was actually a person. Well I cannot really say what I though by reading the books, because I saw some of the Harry Potter films and then became a fan! I wish I was an actually from the beginning fan, but I cannot say I am! I was a late Harry Potter fan! A Harry Potter fan though none the less. Now all I can say is about knowing about this topic from the films. I would like you thought, if you were a Harry Potter fan from the very beginning to email me please at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com and please tell me if you were completely shocked when you realized Scabbers was in fact a Human. Now all I can speak about is my experience from being a fan of the movies from the beginning. I never started reading the books until like 2005 which is upsetting I know, but I am saving this conversation for another post later! So, did I know that Scabbers was a human? Did I notice any clues that could have jumped out in the first two films? NOPE TO BOTH OF THOSE QUESTIONS. I had no clue, I didn't notice anything that could have made someone guess that the rat was in fact a human being. It just shocked the heck out of me when I found out about that. I think that though is one of the many reasons why everyone (well almost everyone) loves the series because there are twists in the story that you could have never guessed would have happened. Like something that happens in Order of the Phoenix that we all hate, but once again saving it for another Blog Post. So, yeah then when I went back to the books and read them in order, I do not think that there is any clues that could have let anyone guess that Scabbers was a human. So, I believe no one, but the great Joanne Rowling knew about the true identity of Scabbers.

Well I am hoping you all enjoyed tonight's blog post here on Potter's Army, and I am hoping that you will continue to enjoy them as I continue to write more and more everyday. Remember to email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with the answer to the above questions, comments, any questions you might have (Potter's Army related or Harry Potter anything?), suggestions for the blog, your own PicPost, or even your very own Blog Post! Thanks again for remaining loyal to 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!

A Bellatrix Lestrange PicPost

The craziest and dumbest person I've ever known in the wizarding world. I hate Bellatrix Lestrange's character (maybe that's a funny one, but whenever i see her on the movie.. I'm irritated. hahha) I've known Bellatrix for being so loyal to Lord Voldemort, but who thought that Mrs. Molly Weasley destroyed her, that's when she tried to kill Ginny. "You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare.." the most unforgettable and worst line of hers to Potter, how dare she spoke to Potter like that. haha. But it's amazing how Helen Bonham Carter portrayed her role, that freak Death Eater only knows how to kill nor to serve only his master without any doubts and hesitations.


P.S. Hey readers make sure you tune in later for all the info on the new Potter's Army design, and another post! So, two more post tonight! :D

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.

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!!!!

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!
