[Sorry this is SOOO long.....plz watch my video with the "annotations" option turned ON because, well, i added those little bubbles for a reason! lol.]One year ago we all sat down and for hours there was silence in the HP community. No one was talking, there were maybe some IMs or Texts being slung back and forth, but as a whole, for at least 24 hours, the HP world stood still as we witnessed the end of our lives as we knew them.One year later, here we are, looking back at all that was, thinking of all that could be, nesting in the nostalgia of it all and longing for those nights again.I want to know what you, as a member of the Hp fandom, are doing, what are you reading, what are you eating and sleeping for. We will always love HP, it will be a part of us forever, but how strong will the fandom remain with no new books and the movie releases quickly coming to an end?I look forward to blogging.Check out my School Robes here in all their glory:http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/I_Am_The_RaineDrop/SlytherinRobes2.pnghttp://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/I_Am_The_RaineDrop/SlytherinRobes057.jpg

Jan 7, 2009 - do"read" and "read" bother me? Hell yeah
mejia85 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Wow I guess we must agree to disagree. He is always trying to isolate himself in order to protect his freinds, he loves them and thinks of them as his family. He didn't ask for his destiny, it was thrust upon him and he never backed down, that takes balls. He may get Angry at times and act like a brat, but wouldn't you if all the people closest to you all died? Oh yeah talk about treating his friend like shit, look at Malfoy.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Disagree we shall bc no part of Potter's"fate"or"destiny"--that he had"no part in choosing"-dictated that he should gallivant about the school like he owned the place while acting like its personal savior and crime solver,appointed by his own selfish narcissism.His utter disregard for rules aside,his sense of self-righteousness leads him to treating his friends like inferiors(Case in point:Ron making Prefect)
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - ...Speak of Draco? How? The books are told near exclusively from Potter's perspective and it is HIS opinion that Draco is a bad friend. Potter did not choose his fate --as you said- so how DARE you commend him for it? The DL wouldn't have stopped tracking him. It was not "bravery" that forced Potter's hand; it was lack of a better option.That is MY opinion. Thank you.
mejia85 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Okay the Ron making Prefect thing was not treating him like he is inferior, Harry was simply disapointed that it was not him. Haven't you ever been in that situation before? I have that does not mean I think people are inferior. And although you love Draco how can you possible think that he isn't a bad friend. He just uses his friends and bosses them around all the time. Not to mention he is a spoiled rich kid with daddy issues. The only brave thing he did was not kill Dumbledore.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - again, everything you said about Draco is bc you read a book stricktly from Potter's perspective, and Potter hates and pities Draco. there is little evidence Draco "bosses" his friends asmuch as leads them into soing bad things. I think you are taking too syrongly into account movie diolog and not book content.and Potter was pissed off, not disapointed, that Ron made Prefect and not him. it even made Potter himself pause because he was thinking Ron wasn't as smart or good as him.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - the only brave -selfless- thing Potter ever did was almost die.he should have tried a little harder.
mejia85 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Harry risked his life to protect his freinds on numerous occasions. And yes the books are in Potters perspective, but if Draco was not being represented accurately why would the other characters, aside from the Slytherins, dislike him as well? He is a self centered jerk who never did an unselfish thing until the last couple of books.
Richalvarez Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I have to agree with TheRaineDrop, i think potter is self righteous, and a little hot headed at times.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - thank you. <3

Oriana666 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Omg Raine! I agree on every single thing you said! I was going "exactly!" "I know!!!" rofl. I even made the same hand move/sign at 5.28, saying "omg yes! exactly!!!" Lol

Jan 7, 2009 - this book was actually my favorite and they actually didnt spend that many time camping and it went well with the story my favorite part is godric hollow ill be pissed if they cut that out in the movie
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Me can tell by how you type good that you is smart, so me not surprised you liked that shitty book.
juliofernandez1 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - For your information english is my second language and I am smart.People can have there own opinions but you don't have to be rude about it.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - For your information, Im terribly dyslexic and yet I manage.And everyone has the right to their opinion, this is true, thus why I have the right to think you are a fucking idiot. The door swings both ways, you see.The book sucked, and whenever I get around to doing my chapter reviews (full-time job takes up a lot of my time, you see) I will explain to you what you clearly missed (like the gaping plotholes) when you read it
juliofernandez1 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - Well whatever its not like its my favorite book. My favorite book of the series is Prisoner of Azkaban second fave half blood prince hope the movies is good but it probably wont be. I still think your awesome even if you calll me a f***ing idiot. :)
KikimoLie Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I didn't like the gap in the book. I mean it was like everything was said and done they were all adults, married and perfect. Now, I'm not a Slytherin fangirl but I would have loved it if Voldie had actually won. And I wish Jo would have written books where Snape was younger so we could learn more on him.
TheRaineDrop Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - He is a self-righteous twat who treats his friends like shit while angsting over not being like everyone else as he simultaneously demands special treatment and to be included in everything because he is, like, freaking harry potter man!He is annoying.I know how it is to spend money I don't have, on thing I don't need, bc of ebay. HP is one of my big money sucks.
