Best Ending Ever... Or, It Would've Been.

Hello!

Today most of this post will be a iMessage conversation between me and a close friend whom I will call Hermione for their privacy.

GO TO POTTERMORE AND READ THIS AND BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ME AS TO WHY THE HELL THIS WASNT IN THE BOOKS

hermione and my 8th
grade graduation

Hermione- WHAAT

Hermione- THIS MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

Hermione- AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL IN THE STORY

Sheiny- I KNOW IM SO ANNOYED IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED

Sheiny- AND NEVILLE

Hermione- YES

Hermione- AND IMAGINE THEM FINDING IT AND SEEING ALL THE NAMES AND STUFF

S- I'm so unsurprised that Neville was doubted to be a wizard until he was eight (laughing emoji) BUT COULDVE BEEN A FANTASTIC ENDING LIKE THE THREE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE LITERALLY

H- YESS AND IMAGINE THE NOSTALGIA IF HARRY WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE BOOK AND JAMES AND LILYS NAMES WERE NEXT TO EACH OTHER

S- YES YES YES OMFG AND I JUST UGH THAT SHOULDVE HAPPENED

And then some theories of ours that I'll get back to. If you haven't read the article linked above, go do so now so that you'll be in the loop.

This is the coolest concept because this is making the future. It's writing exactly who's coming to the school in eleven years and that is just mind blowing to me. And it makes me really sad that not every Harry Potter fan out there has read this article because it's such an interesting topic. It's so cool. I just want a series where someone figures out how it works because I'd like to know. Also Neville, you're so cute. I love you.

Hermione and I also came up with some fantasies about how this book could work.

H- BUT WHAT IF THE BOOK WOULD WRITE NAMES IN GROUPS AND LIKE IF NAMES WERE TOGETHER THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THEY WOULD BE INVOLVE OR REALLY GOOD FRIENDS
AND THE MARAUDERS NAMES WERE ALL NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND LILY TOO
BUT THEN AFTER JAMES AND LILY DIED DUMBLEDORE NOTICED THAT PETERS NAME HAD MOVED

S- HONESTLY AND PEOPLES NAMES WOULD CHANGE COLOR AS TO WHAY HOUSE THEYRE IN AND THEIR CHILDREN COULD BE LISTED UNDER THEN AND FAMILY TREES AND OMFG WAHT

(then we just expressed how annoyed we were again)

H- cough cough harry and dracos names being next to each other \

S- GOALS
ALSO REMUS AND SIRIUS's
AND LILY AND SNAPES RELUCTANTLY BEING TOGETHER THEN AFTER THE MUDBLOOD INCIDENT IT MOVES FAR FAR AWAY

And then we began talking about the 5th Wave move. Still gotta read it. And then see it. Even though everyone hated it. But honestly this friggen idea makes me so happy and J.K., I don't get disappointed in you nearly ever but right now if I could send you to be without supper I would. I'm pissed off this idea is so cool. I just don't understand why this is a thing. Why would you so that. WHYYYY!?!?!??!

Oh well. I'm in a reading slump. I have no new books EXCEPT ONE WHICH ILL WRITE ANOTHER POST ABOUT. But besides that I really haven't been reading because HIGH SCHOOL'S A BITCH.

Yeah. I'm boring. Oh well. Have a nice day!

Pottermore -- Update

Hello!

So, a while back I posted about pottermore, and all the changes it underwent. For example, got rid of the game aspect altogether. I'm still upset about that. BUT they just introduced a bunch of stuff that I plan on discussing throughout the post!

J.K.'s Writing- This is (probably) my favorite aspect of this new pottermore because she's been releasing them so much more and they're so good and so interesting. It makes me sad that some of this stuff wasn't in the books and that all the Harry Potter (books) fans HAVEN'T read these things. The biggest and most crushing example of this so far is The Quill of Acceptance and The Book of Attendance. If you haven't read this article go read it now. I think I'm going to write an entire post about it, actually. It's so interesting and I'm going to write about it in a later post so, yeah. It's so great reading from J.K. again, I miss it. WRITE MORE PLEASE PLEASE pLeAsE.

Sorting and Wand- Pottermore has just, just, added the sorting and wand aspects back into the site! This was very exciting. I could sing in again! Yay! I got to see my wand! I missed it. So much. I miss my cat though. Damnit. The coolest thing about this sorting, now I can click on Slytherin and it takes me to dozens of cool Slytherin articles, comics, pictures, excerpts, anything and it's really great. I also can (and have) download Slytherin backgrounds and photos. They make me very happy.

News- Specifically about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play! If I see the play, my heart will actually break from excitement. I'm so excited. ITS A SEQUEL OMG WE GET MORE ON ALBUS (child not the disturbing ex-headmaster) AND HIS OTHER KIDS AND HARRY AND RON WITH JOBS AND I CAN'T. We get all kinds of news from trailers to casting to set design to makeup and costume design. It really gets you excited for upcoming events.

Wizarding Schools- Okay, technically this is from J.K.'s Writing, but it was too good for me not to write a separate section. There are eleven other wizarding schools around the world, and JK is releasing articles on the bigger ones, and holy SHIT they're so cool. Japan is definitely the coolest. When you first arrive at school you are provided robes that change color as your magical intelligence increases, starting with a pink and, if you get top scores in all your classes, finishing with gold. It gets better. If you were to perform an act of illegal (dark) magic, your robes turn white. To "turn white" is the utmost disgrace and you are immediately expelled and put on trial. SO SICK AND PRODUCTIVE. There's also the African one where they're famous for their spell-casting WITHOUT wands! IT S SO COOL. This also creates problems because people can claim they didn't mean to cast a rather nasty spell, i.e. "I didn't mean to give them a boner, I was just flipping my hair!"

Explore the Story- this is the area where the rest of it goes. The comics/explanation pictures, theories, deeper meanings, anything else. The best are the pictures they make of the number of mentions of a character and their first and last mentions, their traits, its beautiful. This is also where character profiles go, most include date of birth (and death if they're dead), their wand type, their heritage, their animagus, etc. It's beautiful and amazing and nearly makes up for the lack of gaming.

Pottermore has gotten so much better and I spend basically 24/7 on it because this friggen school blocks everything else! Yeah. It's fabulous and it makes my year!
