*****MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!!!! ON HP VII!!!! DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT READ HP 7 YET!!! THANKS********
As we talked about how too much lettuce Hagrid left his Flobberworms and how we quoted almost [perfectly] some of the lines, they all said, "Harry Potter nanaman."
When Novie and I discussed about Lupin's and Tonks' sudden deaths, we couldn't help but cry out to our heart's content. And when Syrine (yata?) approached us, Novie pointed at the two of us with teary eyes..
"Eto ang mga tunay na adik."
-Novie-chan
Novie and I have been loyal fans of J.K. Rowling's best-seller book, Harry Potter. We almost memorized the lines and even got the intonations right! Yehey! Harry Potter!!! Long live Harry Potter! :)

******SPOLIER WARNING SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING**********START OF SPOILERS**Just a few minutes ago, I read some of the chapters in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I have cried LOTS. One was The Prince's Tale. I could not stop myself from crying. Snape was really a good person and wasn't in terms with Voldemort. And what's more that he really cared for Harry, after all this time. I cried soooo hard. As in, nakacrumple yung mukha ko and my eyes were all red and puffy. Sabi nga ni Novie eh nung umiyak kami kahapon nang umaga dahil kay Lupin and Tonks, "Eto ang mga adik!" Hahahaha. Grabe. And Fred..And Dobby..I really cried for them. I just feel some certain connections with them. From all the years I have stuck with Harry, I got fond of all the characters and even the bad ones.
END OF SPOILERS**

It's the end.
I have finished 36 chapters in approximately 19 hours of the seventh and last book in the Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I cried a lot in some of the chapters. Reasons are the deaths of characters whom I enjoyed and got fond of especially... Never mind. I mustn't spoil the fun.
J.K. Rowling never fails to surprise me. And I have proved that of my agonizing pain when I waited for each of the seven books to come out. She definitely left me at the edge of my seat, craving for more Potter's adventures and magic-filled pages. The Deathly Hallows, for me, was the best by far in the series, overtaking my former Number One Favorite, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
When I got my hands which were itching with excitement on the last book, I noticed tears fell down my eyes. Wondering why? You see, I have been a fan...a really huge fan...And like what my classmates say, 'adik'!! I think I was in my First Grade when I started to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I'm glad that I stuck to it until the very end. Harry Potter, from the books to the movies, has influenced me a lot. And I mean every part of me! I started saying Lumos with my wand everytime I open the lights and other Potter-related stuff like that.
I really cried when I received the book last Saturday. It was like saying hello to a long lost friend..but when I finished reading the 700+-paged book, I cried again. Because it was like saying Goodbye to a friend who you might never see again for a very long time... That was what I felt when I finished the book. *Sigh*
And now I thank that I have been born in this time...To take part...To read and experience every ounce of magic in the HP series... If it weren't for JKR, I might have never opened my eyes and my mind to releasing my inner thoughts and the vast imagination I have kept inside my hand. JK is an inspirational icon for me. After I read the three books, I got inspired so I started to write stories which I did not have any time to finish. But one time, like JKR, I will...Or should I say... The idea of a great story will come to me...Then I just have to stick with it until the very end...Just like how I stuck with Harry Potter to the very end. Labels: deathly hallows, harry potter

Harry Potter Day
Today is July 21 which means that it's Harry Potter Day! It's the release of the seventh installment in the HP series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
There are a lot of rumors that say that Ron Weasley is going to die. But they're only rumors right? We all got guesses who'll die and who'll survive. I've got my guess already and please, I hope they're not correct.
Later, I;m going to read the book once I get my hands on it.

If I were to rate Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I'd give it a B+.
Why a B+, not an A?
Well, firstly, I believe that the cast has done a pretty great job, as always.
Second, it stayed true to the book, yes, but not as much as the other movies in the HP series.
That's all. But don't get me wrong. I absolutely loved the fifth movie! It was great and it would really take you deeper into Harry Potter's world.
I watched it first on Timesquare on the 13th of July with Krishelle and Ryan. We were soaking wet when we reached the cinama house! We sat at the very front row so we were staring up into the biiiiig screen.
The next day, we watched it again. Almost all of my classmates went to watch it too.
Ayon..Tapos nagsimba kami ng mommy ko sa SBMA Chapel..Then went to National to make a reservation for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I think I might finish reading the 7th installment in about 12 hours or so? I'm very excited!!! Who will die?! And what will happen now to the trio?! Arrghh. Six more days, I have to wait for 6 more days. Well, at least there's something to look forward to this week.
Then, we went to Jollibee and when I saw the line of people at timesquare, i said, "Grabe!"
The line of people who waited to get their tickets for harry potter 5...umabot sa sidewalk hanggang sa tapat ng Slimmer's World!!!!! Wow!!!
It's a good thing we went at Timesquare very early. It was already a standing room when Novie and I decided to watch the film again eh! Hahahaha.
I love Harry Potter, from the books to the movies. ^__^

Like what the title says, it's Harry Potter month, people.
On July 11 is the showing of Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix. I watched the theatrical and teaser trailers and some video clips. In my opinion, this is going to be the best HP movie so far. I hope I'm correct. And this has to be the HP movie with the shortest running time. I know, I can't believe it either because the 5th book had the most pages among the 6 books published.
I'm just disappointed that Dan Radcliffe had to shorten his hair. But still, he's a great actor.
Meanwhile, on July 21, it's the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! It's the 7th and last installment of the Harry Potter series! I'm dying to read this book. It's a good thing it's release is going to be on a Saturday because I've got the whole night reserved already. I think I read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince under 36 hours. Hmm, let's see what the outcome would be when I finish reading DH.
Wahhh. Feeling ko..Feeling ko lang...Isa sa trio mamamatay. From the very start, I thought it would be Harry eh. Because the prophecy says nga that neither can live while the other one survives. Well, that's just a guess. J.K. Rowling, never fails to surprise me and her other fans all over the world. She really is a superb writer and I'm proud to say that she is one of the most influential people in my life. Since I read the Sorcerer's Stone, I got this urge to write. So here I am now..Writing until my fingers bleed. Hehe.
Basta. I will remain as a die-hard fan of Harry Potter and JKR till the day I die.
Hehehe. EXCITED NA AKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^___^
