I recently bought my fgirst wand. I decided to share the tips and tricks of buying a wand with you. Take alll of these into consideration when te go wand-shopping.

TALK TO THE WANDSELLER
The witch o wizard who will sell te your wand knows about all thewands in the shop. They will be più than happy to share their knowledge and help te find the right wand. Don't be a fraid to ask questions, either.

HOLD DIFFERENT WANDS
Holding different wands will help guide te to the best match. Let's say te try an oak wand with a phoenix feather core. The wand might feel close, but not quite right. In that case, te should try a phoenix feather wand of a different wood and an oak wand with a different core.

TRY IT OUT
You'll be casting spells with your wand of course. So, it naturlly follows that te should wave the wand around a bit. It might look silly to a Muggle-born, but it'll help te find the right match.

LOOK OVER THE WAND
If you're sure it's the right wand for you, look it over. Learn its details. Figure out the best way tohold it.

Hopefully, these tips will help te find the wand that chose you. With these tips and a little luck, te and your new wand will be very happy together. I know I am with my 15-inch agrifoglio and phoenix feather.
His feet made strange scraping noises as they slid along the marble floored corridors of Hogwarts. His exhaustion was nothing compared to the humiliation he felt, his Slytherin tie now had a blood red stain on it, thanks to James Potter's gang in potions class. He leaned against the wall, the bags under his eyes seeming to add an unbearable wieght to his sleepyness. He just started to dose leaning against the bacheca when he heard running footsteps behind him. "Sev!" Lily shouted, her voice worried. Snape shaffled around to face her, his side still pressed against the wall. "Hi" he groaned, his...

In Chronological Order.

1/1: Intro to the Durlsey's / Leaving Harry on their doorstep
Where better to start then the beginning of the series? The very first chapter, to be precise. Well, it might be 2 chapters, I'm not sure. But I Amore these parts, regardless. It's a great way to kick off the series, because it's told from the point of view of a muggle. So we already can relate with the main character and we can see how wizards incorporate into our everyday lives. Then it goes right to Dumbledore and Mcgonogal discussing the same events from the wizards point of view. It's also pretty good in...

According to the libri there are supposed to be 700 Quidditch fouls. However I'll mention sortly 10 of the commonest ones, with the help of Harry Potter wiki.=)

1.Blagging
An often-used foul which can be commited da all the players of a team. It is consisted of grabbing the broomstick tail of a player from the opposing team in order to delay o thwart them. We see it in the "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the Azkaban" book, commited da Draco Malfoy against Harry Potter.

2.Blatching
In order to happen, a player has to fly towards another player with deliberate intention to collide with him or...

I first thought Harry Potter was really stupid. Then one giorno it was on Disney Channel and there was nothing else to watch so I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. At the end of the movie I was shocked. I LOVED IT!!! I got the whole series of libri and got 1-5 the Film for Christmas. Now I read each book 3 times and probably know every single word for the Film 1-6. I am so crazy for harry potter that i did this. There was a harry potter and the half blood prince movie mostrare time at 3:00 a.m.!!!!!! Me and my cousin (18 yrs. old counsin) stayed up till 2:45 in the morning and went to go see harry potter 6 at 3 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so intrested in the movie i didnt even fall asleep. We were the only ones in the movie theatre
For the record I did not write this. I found it online and thought it needed to be shared! Enjoy!

1) The Giant Squid is not an appropriate data to the Yule Ball.

2) I am not allowed to sing, "We're Off to See the Wizard" while skipping off to the Headmaster's office.

3) I am not allowed to take out a life insurance policy on Harry Potter.

4) I am not allowed to ask Dumbledore to mostra me the pointy hat trick.

I stumbled over a discussion forum topic "JKR: Canon o fanon" on another HP site and I have ended up into debates related to the topic, so I decided to write this opinion articolo - this isn't about anyone o anything in particular about the libri regardless of the examples. The point in them is for the general matters (:

"What all is canon to you? What do te personally keep, tweak o disregard in your head?"

To me...

Canon is the author's image. This of course means also whatever she announces anywhere outside the books, is canon. She wrote her view into the books's content and it's bound to...

I found this kinda interesting, it just some things that may have been missed in the books:

The Mirror of Erised: Erised is Desire spelled backward, o how it would appear in a mirror. Also, the inscription reads "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi," which read in a mirror reads, "I mostra not your face but your hearts desire."


"Don't mess with me, Peeves, now where did they go?"
"Shan't say nothing if te don't say please," detto Peeves in his annoying singsong voice.

Then, as te know, they turn around to face Fluffy who is glaring at them and about to attack. They were inside that...

1. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2. Push the buttons and pretend they jinx you. Wait for the effects of the 'jinx' to wear off, smile, and go back for more.

3. Ask if te can push the button for other people, but intentionally push the wrong ones.

4. Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for a friend. After a while let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How's your giorno been?"

5. Drop a quill and wait until someone goes to pick it up and then scream, "That's mine!"

6. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone...

Lately, through picks and forum I have noticed that a lot of people prefer the Cho/Harry pairing over the Ginny/Harry pairing. They have provided some pretty good reasons as to why they like Cho and Harry but I don't know... something about them just seems off. Don't take this the wrong way, I am not a Cho "hater" and I have no problem with Cho/Harry shippers. I just wanted to take some time and explain my reasoning...

1) Sure, Harry got farfalle in his stomach when her saw Cho[ Before Sirius' death] but after every data they had together Harry always ended up più miserable than he already...

Godric's Hollow is a village of great interest. There Harry's problems start after Voldemort kills his parents. But let's find some più things about it! This is the part of History of Magic da Batilda Bagshot, which talks about it.

(harry potter and the deathly hollows, p261):
"Upon the signature of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, wizards went into hiding for good. It was natural, perhaps, that they formed their owns small communities within a community. Many small villages and hamlets attracted several magical families, who banded together for mutual support and protection. The...

I had a thought...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is wondering how on earth Harry, Ron and Hermione could destroy all those horcruxes when Dumbledore, one of the greatest wizards ever almost died trying to destroy two of them.

And since Dumbledore and Harry really aren't the only ones who know about Voldemort's horcruxes, its possible that RAB has actually done the work for them without Voldemort realising it. Its possible that he actually destroyed all the horcruxes besides Nagini but somehow didn't live to tell anyone.

So the only horcrux that they would have to destroy would be the snake. Remember Voldemort only made Nagini a horcrux in Goblet of Fire. So she is at least one horcrux left that we know still exists.

I can't see Harry, Ron and Hermione managing to destroy 4 horcruxes without one of them dying o getting seriously injured. That could happen too however...

CAN'T WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT! 5 DAYS TO GO!
I Amore Hermione, Harry, Luna, Ron, Hagrid, Snape, Dobby and more. But loving these characters is kind of a common thing.. Some characters aren't loved, o treated the way they deserved to be. Here is a lista of underrated characters I absolutely love!

1- Fleur
In my whole life, I've never met a single Fleur fan expect me. Everyone thinks that she is just an arrogant Veela. Nobody looks at her personality, even not a bit. Firstly, Fleur is daring. She may look like one of those fragile girls, however she participated in the contest in "Goblet Of Fire" and was the only girl in it. She cares about...

1. I feel that Hermione, Draco and Snape are all over-rated.

2. I feel that Ginny is under-rated and gets way too much hate.

3. I feel that a majority of the fan lack any empathy o understanding toward Cho. Give the girl a break. Her boyfriend was murdered. How would te react in such a scenario?

4. I sometimes feel like I'm the only fan in this club who didn't really have a crush on any of the characters o their actors.

5. I ship the majority of couples in this fandom simply because they're canon and I have no reason to dislike them.

6. I sometimes feel like the pairing wars within the fandom...
