Potter's Army Redesigned

Well hey readers!!! As I said I was going to at least but a Blog Post out about the new features today on February 1st of 2011. Every month I want to try and create a new theme for Potter's Army with some significant thing to do with the Harry Potter world. This month's I choose to do the books of Harry Potter. Well why didn't I choose the Blog Picture for this particular blog post to be a book cover or something? Well it has something to do with the new theme, a certain feature in this theme. I will get to that later though. So, you all know what this blog post is going to be about, it is going to be about the new theme of course. I will of course go back to my regular random Harry Potter thing's posts tomorrow. So lets get to it! :D

Well the first new feature I want to talk about is the flashback section. It is labeled as, A look back at Harry Potter book history. This feature is pretty self-explanatory. It will be updated daily now that I have my laptop at a fully mobile capability. It just is a daily basic flashback about anything that has happened in the past about the books. I am really hoping you will all like this. The next thing I want to talk about isn't really a new feature it's just changing a little bit for this month. The Quote of the Day section is normally a mix between Book and Harry Potter movie quotes. For just this month it is just going to be book quotes, since the main theme of Potter's Army this month is the books. Now another completely new feature that I have added is called the Chapter Image of the Day. It is a random Chapter Image (USA version) from the Harry Potter books, that will be updated daily, it is the Chapter Image of the Day! One special thing about this particular thing is that if you click on the image it takes you to another page on Potter's Army that is only assessable through this image, and on this page it shows you all (almost) of the images from that particular book that the Chapter Image of the Day is in. So, make sure you check that out. Now a really anticipated feature that has been added to the blog is the Potter's Army Facebook Page! I have had a lot of people asking if there was a page to 'Like' on Facebook for the blog, and I never had made one because I was running off of my iPad. Now, I have a laptop and there is a 'Like' Page on Facebook, the link for the Facebook Page is on the Potter's Army entertainment sidebars. So make sure you 'like' Potter's Army on Facebook. Another thing on the Facebook subject, there is a share bar for you to share Potter's Army to your Twitter Page or Facebook Page. Now another new little thing added is the Part One DVD countdown. I know not for the books, but that was just added today since the release date for Part One on DVD date was actually released today. Thought you might like that?

ANNNNNDDDD NOOWWW FOR THE LAST NEW FEATURE ON POTTER'S ARMY!!! As you might have noticed that the links on Potter's Army are green, and then whenever you 'hover' your cursor (laptops, and desktops only) over the link it turns blue. WHY IS THAT? IS THERE A REASONING BEHIND IT??? YES THERE IS!!!!! The green is for Harry's eyes in the book. He has green eyes, Jo has made that specifically clear in the books. BUT in the movie's, Danielle Radcliff has blue eyes (which is why I chose the image I chose). So, I made the links green and blue just to show the significance of Harry's eyes! Not really cool I know, but I thought it a neat feature to add.

Now thanks for reading about all the new features on Potter's Army. I am hoping you will enjoy them throughout this month. I would love to hear what you think about the new features, email me at noahmarkbitney@gmail.com with your thought's on them please. I want to hear your feedback. Make sure you email me though too with your own blog post you might have, a PicPost, questions about anything Harry Potter, or comments too. Again I am hoping you will enjoy the new features. If I add anything I will make sure to all let you know, and hey also remember to tune back in tomorrow for my back to regular posts! Thanks again for reading, and remaining loyal to Potter's Army.

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

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.
