i just couldn't resist posting this. BAHAHAHHAA!

accio all things harry

even though the series is over and done with, i can't help but pick up my books and read (and re-read) them again and again. and again. call me a nerd or a dork (or even a dorky nerd), but i just can't help it - i really love harry potter. i love getting lost in the pages of the books and seeing the scenes play out in my head. i especially love j.k. rowling for writing, in my humble opinion, the best book series i have ever read. oh and for being so bookishly cool.

cbc's the passionate eye aired this yesterday, but unfortunately i missed it. *sobs* (i watched bbc's special on jo and she was so fantastic.) lucky for me - and you! - it will be airing again this coming sunday, feb 10th, at 8pm. yay! i'm so there.

sunday. 8pm. cbc. see you at the tv.

hogwarts on the brain...

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

i'm a hufflepuff! i was kinda hoping for gryffindor, but i guess i'd rather be in hufflepuff than in ravenclaw. and well, anything is better than slytherin. haha.

p.s. i absolutely loved the seventh harry potter book! (i finished it the day i bought it, which was also the day it came out.) i think it's actually my favourite of the lot of them. i'm pretty sad the series is over, but at least it was good brilliant while it lasted. :)

potter weekend

from reading the last book to seeing the movie, this past weekend was definitely harry potter weekend for me! to be perfectly honest, i thought the movie was kinda 'meh'. yah there were a lot of cool special effects, but i liked the fifth book better in my imagination. :P

harry potter and the half-blood prince

so, i started reading this two days ago and i finished it yesterday morning around 2am. i seriously read this book whenever i could - just ask liz. whenever i went away and was really quiet it was because i was reading harry potter. bah hah.

but really, that J.K. Rowling has an incredible imagination. so impressive. totally sucks me in and i seriously can't stop reading until the pages run out. i probably would have read the whole book straight if i could have. and whatever. i know i'm twenty-one. i don't care. i like harry potter. no. i LOVE HARRY POTTER. :P

the book itself was (in my opinion) very well-written. it didn't seem so drawn out in some parts like in the fourth and fifth books when i thought some portions of the book were too long, so that was a plus. i did, however, think the ending was a little abrupt...like one minute you're reading and really into the book, and then you turn the page and it's like the publisher information or whatever the crap it is that's on the very very last page of the book. i read somewhere that the seventh book is supposed to be somewhat like a continuation of the sixth book though, so maybe that's why...? i hate it when they make you wait. like in tv shows when the screen goes black and all you see are the words, "to be continued..." aghhhhh. that's the worst. i want to read the seventh book now. :P

but anyway, like levar burton (haha what happened to that guy?) said back in the day when he was on that old tv show (that apparently still exists...?!) reading rainbow, "don't take my word for it".

read it. i totally recommend it. :)
