DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY!!!!!!!!

Ok, look, I know I haven't posted in a while and I know that it is super late to be talking about Harry Potter (Well, that is according to anyone who is a part time HP fan, aka someone who is only obsessed with this wonderful story when a knew book or movie comes out, when it is declared "hip")  but to me, someone who takes the classifications "Superfan" as an understatement, it is never too late to talk about The Boy Who Lived.  Because I feel that superfan is a tad offensive, as it doesn't do justice to my Potter obsession I decided to look up some possible names for the fan base of one of the best stories ever.  Here are some I found (they are in no real order):

  • Wiznerds
  • Potterphiles
  • Harry Heads
  • Pot-Heads (Stupid Twi-Hards use it because they think it insults us, but really I just find it amusing)
  • And of course Muggles
Let me know your favorite.
But on we go.  I'm sure that you all have seen the latest and final installment of the most epic series ever. And of course I saw it as soon as possible aka at 12:01 on the day it came out.  And I dressed up.  It will be rare for me to show you all pictures of me but here is a rare pic of me, I'm the one on your right.  The one on the left is my friend who I always call Fabrizio, but her more common nickname is Dellye.

And as the most obsessed of you should know, the Pottermore challenge is coming up.  On July 31st, Harry's birthday and in fact my friend Fabrizio's as well, J.K. Rowling is offering the first 1 million people to complete the challenge  the opportunity to gain early access to the Pottermore website, while all the rest of the fans have to wait until October.  The website will include audio tapes and e-books, but most importantly it will include new info on the world of the wonderful wizards.  And unfortunately the only clue she gave us is "Follow the owl."
If I am lucky enough to get a chance to see the site I will be happy to tell you all about it.  And if you have any insight into the clue left for us let me know.
