So, today I finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I posted a status on Facebook mentioning that, adding, "I can't believe it's been seven years."

Then I remembered that it's July, and that most of the Harry Potter books were released in July - so, just out of curiosity, I decided to check the publication date on Wikipedia.

As it turns out, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was published exactly seven years ago to this day. Which means that, not only did I unintentionally finish my reread on the same date, but, given the time I finished it, I probably closed the book at almost exactly the same time as I closed it at the end of my first reading.

Isn't that crazy? I remember going with my friends to see Batman Begins before the midnight release party, then running over to the bookstore afterwards and goggling at all the costumes - one lady had dressed up as a portrait. And then we got the books, but for some reason went to sleep after (we were clearly amateurs). When we woke up, my friends had breakfast and started playing Nintendo, but I ignored them all and just kept reading, lol.

Fucking Dumbledore, man. Gets me every time. =/

Just thought I'd share this because it's only the most amazing Harry Potter fan video I've ever seen.

So... I guess Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows leaked on the Internet this week.

A couple of people on my flist are reading it, and while they have so far been gracious enough to put any and all spoilers behind a cut, I don't want to take the chances of something accidentally slipping. Therefore, I'm going on a mini:

hiatus

Meaning, I'm not going to be reading my flist until after I'm done with the book, and I'm probably not going to be checking any communities, either. I'll probably still post in this LiveJournal (maybe), but I swear if anyone posts anything Harry Potter-related in the comments I'll probably have a heart attack and die.

See you all July 21st!

HARRY POTTER SPOILER POLICY

As we draw closer to the release of the seventh book, I would like to remind everyone who knows of Harry Potter spoilers (whether real or fake) to please put them behind an lj-cut. It's not that difficult; look it up in the FAQ if you don't know how. Obviously, I can't control what people on my flist post in their journals, but I swear I will kill you if you spoil the book outside of an lj-cut, or on a comment in this journal, or any other public place that I might happen to stumble upon.

Seriously... don't ruin the book for people who don't want spoilers. This is the last book, ya'll. Don't ruin the experience.
Well, that's it. I've reread the first six Harry Potter books, and now all I have to do is wait for the seventh.

In the meantime, I decided to write up a list of predictions I have for the seventh, because I think it'll be interesting to see how many of them come true.

( Cut for length )

Well, that's it... I'd love to hear what thoughts you guys have on the matter!

So, I just happened to be browsing [livejournal.com profile] thephotobox today when I stumbled across this photo of...


KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT!

Remember him, that black guy with the "deep voice" from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? Is he not made of awesome?!

On a side note...


Could Lucius Malfoy possibly get any hotter?

No, I don't think so.

*sighs* When will July 11th get here?

Doesn't look like Harry Potter anymore, does he?

This time, some speculation on Harry Potter!

( Alas, I have Transfigured my feet! )

That aside, what do you guys think is going to happen in the seventh book?

:( I was browsing around [livejournal.com profile] __dittany's LiveJournal just now, and [livejournal.com profile] sound_of_bells was listing out who was most likely to die in Book 7 (Harry Potter). What she wrote kind of struck a chord with me.

7. Ron. If one of the trio goes, it's going to be him. I don't know if she would do that to us, but I can see her being cruel enough. Can't you? Harry is going nowhere just because it would traumatize millions of children worldwide AND she'd get stoned, Hermione is just... not dying, I can't see it, and people would get really offended, I think. But Ron. Ron could go. Hermione leaping in front of Harry, or whatever - that doesn't quite ring true. Not that she wouldn't, but just that it doesn't really work with the story. But again - and Ron. He could finally prove that he's a hero. We all know it, but he doesn't. And you know that he would throw himself in front of Harry without a second glance. It would be the perfect tragic ending to the series. It would make us sob, it would make us miserable, but we would never, never forget. It would be something that stuck with us forever, throughout our whole lives - nobody who reads these books could ever forget Ron sacrificing his life for Harry's.

Because of that, more than anything else, Ron's death would hit me that much harder.

Lolz, guess what? I had another weird dream today (and it was today, because I woke up at 6:15, fell asleep, and had it. This one involved gymnastics, my school, Hogwarts, torture, and Hilary Duff.

( And so it begins... )

Have a bunch of general fandom stuff... most of it from [livejournal.com profile] indilime.

Harry Potter

- Ginny Weasley pic! Wow, it's about time! *le sigh* She's so pretty... I wish we had more pictures. Bet she's going to be showing up in the movies more, now that she was Harry's girl for five chapters. ^_^
- GoF pics (these were actually removed from MuggleNet, so I got them from [livejournal.com profile] __dittany; there were about sixty originally, but I only have four): One (SO COOL!), Two (Um... wtf no), Three (Eh... that's supposed to be the Dark Mark?! But it's not even on his shoulder! Twits), Four (Yes... those are Death Eaters... JHALFHALSJFH)
- Imelda Staunton cast as Umbridge! IMDb doesn't have the information, but according to MuggleNet she appeared on the "This Morning" show and confirmed it.

LOST
- Shannon/Sayid spoiler! OMFG LOL. So that's how they do it... and that's how you spell kielbasa.

P.S. IT'S FRIDAY! BE HAPPY! :DDDDD

I'm so glad it's Friday! *jumps around*

Lolz, last night my mom and dad watched LOST with me. My dad actually managed to get through half an hour before saying it was stupid and leaving. He got a huge kick out of "Doctor Jack and Kate!" He starting laughing the second Kate walked in on Jack when he was trying to sew himself up. (This is the pilot episode.) He's like, "So Jack needs to be sewn up and an attractive woman enters the scene. This is the stupidest thing ever."

He actually didn't make anything out of the "monster"; I thought he would but he didn't. Interesting. I think he left right as Charlie was singing "You All Everybody" to Kate. Heh.

Then we were having this whole conversation about LOST on the way to school. He was like, "There are polar bears on a tropical island?!" He wouldn't really listen to me about there being a reason for this. I also mentioned how Locke was paralyzed before the plane crash. He thought that was the funniest thing ever.

Heh, then we were talking about Doctor Jack and Kate. I was starting to talk about Sawyer; I mentioned that he smoked, and my dad's like, "Oh, how's that working out for him?" Then I was like, "Well, he hasn't been smoking lately, but another character, Charlie, is on heroin." Heh, I didn't get to tell him that he found a whole store of heroin in the statues of Mary. I think he would have found that hysterical. He was highly amused by Claire's psychic-friend story.

On another note, I got an idea for another LOTR fic! It's going to be an Eomer/OC, cause I'm a Suethor like that. Not that I'll ever get to the story, because I'm working on the one with Guthwyn, but yeah. It's an idea.

Moving on, I saw some really hot Josh Holloway pics on [livejournal.com profile] indilime's journal... I'll post them later, because I'm at school. They're so cool. ^_^

Ooh, and also on [livejournal.com profile] indilime's journal, she posted some new promo pics from HP4! I've been looking for pictures of Ron and Hermione posing forever. ♥ I think I'll make a ton of icons this week. I already made, like, 110 of LOST actors - on Thursday alone. Heh. Of course I have a life. ^_-

Ugh, and finally, my coach scheduled my first Level Seven meet for January 8th! I'm not ready to do a meet that soon! I don't have, like, anything on beam. We have to do a back-handspring and I haven't even done one by myself yet. And my dismount? A cartwheel back-flip? Nowhere close to happening! What was he thinking of?! *panics* And for bars, I do a clear hip to a back flip (flyaway) dismount-- have it at the pit, not on the high bar! Ugh, ugh, ugh! I'm going to get, like, a 5.0 on all the events. :(

Well, guess I'll update later... :/ Sorry if this killed your f-list.
