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. :)

P.S.
194 days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two! Excited yet? Also I'd like to add there will be another post later today! Thanks again.

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!!!
