Check out what I made!

      Okay so I have recently discovered this thing called a "wordle".  If you do not know what a wordle is and are to lazy to goggle it read this:

Web definitions

• A tag cloud or word cloud (or weighted list in visual design) is a visual depiction of user-generated tags, or simply the word content of a site, typically used to describe the content of web sites. ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordle

• Wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. ...

     So now you know o.O

  Anyways after discovering this....thingy? I decided to create my own. After making a few personal one I saw you could take a url ( like http://jazzysblogabouthp.blogspot.com/ ). It takes words from the site and puts it into wordle form. I as you may have suspected did this for my blog and here it is: Harry Potter Wordle

     I am not the first person with this idea. Other people made Harry Potter worlde also! What a small world.

 

They clearly did a better job than me! I thought mine was the best ever until Google Images proved me wrong! Oh well maybe I will do this again later and it can turn out better.

P.S. I know this wasn't all that Harry Potter-y but it was educational and interesting so deal with it!



The Casual Vacancy - JK Rowling's New Book! Release Date: September 27th 2012

    
          Okay, okay , I know this isn't technically Harry Potter, but......I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! J.K. Rowling is finally writing a new book this is the moment I've been waiting for since 2007. I just added this video because its funny and informative. This is a new adult novel by the legendary J.K. Rowling, I hope it is as good as Harry Potter was. Here is what its about:

    "When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock.

Seemingly an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.

     Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.

     And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?"

     Whoa, this description doesn't really excite me. It has fancy words but there is a lack of wizards. I understand that it's not Harry Potter but it doesn't sound all that great. Oh, J.K. please prove me wrong!

      Once it comes out and I read it I will give you a full review!

JK Rowling Interviews #1

Katie Couric interviewing JK Rowling in 2005 for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

WATCH!!!

    

I thought this was a pretty good interview. The first part (before she started talking to JK) was kind of cheesy but the Harry Potter jokes made me laugh. "Talk about a Shrieking Shack" and "...Blow off the shelves faster than a golden snitch.”. I really wish I could ask JK Rowling some questions. I would ask “What does Sirus do in his free time?" I have just always wondered that. I found it pretty creepy when Katie Couric said "I wish I could have brought hundreds of children in my suitcase but that would be illegal...”. I personally respect Aunt Petunia for taking care of Harry but I hate her for being so narrow minded and rude. I think reading your own book is pretty pathetic so I am glad she usually doesn't. Okay this third question irritated me so bad! It is not a person, it has a purpose and it fulfills that purpose by sorting and it does not need to do anything else! "The idea shop!" I understand why that would be annoying; I don’t know where you would get ideas other than your imagination. I would go to Hogwarts learn magic, hang out with students and teachers, and see all the amazing creatures. I honestly think a 4th grade class wouldn't enjoy this book but I also believe that Harry has good values and can be a great role model. Jesse. You. Are. Full. Of. It. I AM HER BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!! My favorite color is blue like that liar Jesse. I also like dogs and otters but not cats like JK Rowling. I really enjoyed this interview and next time I will do a more recent one.

    

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

 

    

      This is my all time favorite place in the entire world. I haven't quite made it there yet but I know I will love it. It is going to be, as Ron may say "Wicked". There is a fabulos places to feast, Hogsmeade with all sorts of great shops, and the best rides on earth.

     When hungry you can walk down to the famous Three Broomsticks. This tavern has a rustic feel with all sorts of great food to eat. To quench your thirst go to the rear of The Three Broomsticks, thats the location of the pub Hogs Head. They even have Butterbeer!

      Than we all know of Hogsmeade, ( I named my blog after it :D ) thats where you can find shops from Harry Potter. This includes Zonko's, Dervish and Banges, Honeydukes, Ollivanders (technically from Diagon Alley but whatever.) , and the Owl Post. I personaly can't wait to go to Zonko's and Honeydukes.

What are you must excited for?

       There are amazing rides for you to enjoy. One is Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. You first tour the halls of the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Next you soar above school grounds on a memorable exciting adventure!!! There also is the thrilling Dragon Challenge. You can chose either the Hungarian Horntail or the Chinease Fireball (two seperate rides). You fly across the sky looping and twisting at high speed! Last but surely not least is Flight of the Hippogriff. This wicker family ride is made up of dives, spirals, and swoops. I can't wait to go on all these rides XD .

      As you can now see this is the greatest thing to happen to the world since the invention of fire. I myself can't wait to go to Florida and enjoy the best place in the entire world, I know you feel the same.Check out the awesome website they have: http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/

"What You Need To Know About Draco Malfoy" Comments

This blog is bout what The Harry Potter Secrets blog ( http://thehpsecrets.blogspot.com/) posted. The blue words in parenthesis are my thoughts and comments.

What You Need To Know About Draco Malfoy

• Draco Lucius Malfoy is loosely based on bullies Rowling encountered during her school days.

( A lot of the characters are probably based off real people then.)

• Draco Malfoy's first-draft names were Draco Spungen, Draco Spinks, and Draco Smart

( Draco Spungen is a lot less bad ass than Draco Malfoy. )

• Draco's surname, Malfoy, is derived from the French phrase mal foi, meaning "bad faith."

( Then Harry's should be based of the French phrase "assistant génial", use Google Translate. )

• After the war, Draco Malfoy & family avoided imprisonment in Azkaban due to their last-minute switch in allegiance

( Yet once Voldermort came back they swithced sides, smooth moves Malfoys, smooth moves.)

• Draco Malfoy married Astoria Greengrass, the younger sister of his classmate Daphne Greengrass.

( Whoa, way to marry the most important character ever... )

• Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass had a son together named Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.

( Well, that kid is going to get made fun of. )

• Draco, Astoria, and Scorpion live in Malfoy Manor

( I imagine Astoria as a gold digger...... Just sayin' )

• Draco Malfoy is good at compartmentalizing his life, which makes him skilled at Occlumency & at bullying others

( Lots of big words, I'm just going to interpret that as he is good at being a douche. )

• Draco Malfoy was attracted to be a Death Eater, but the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle

( I wonder what his kid thinks of his daddy's dark mark 0.o )

• Draco Malfoy would have attended Durmstrang Institute, but his mother didn't want him staying far away from home.

( Because Hogwarts isn't away from home. )

• Draco Malfoy was one of the series' most popular characters due to Tom Felton's performances, much to JKR's dismay

( Well she just doesn't understand the amazingness of Tom Felton )

• Draco Malfoy had a fondness for green apples.

( Draco Malfoy's bad qualities: a jerk, snobby,and likes green apples? )

• Draco Malfoy was the only known follower of Voldemort to receive Voldy's hug.

( It's because he's cuddly, like a teddy bear. )

• Draco Malfoy was not capable of producing a Patronus as it is not magic routinely taught at Hogwarts.

( Comment what you think his Patronus animal would be, I say snake. )

• JKR has discarded a scene (twice) where Theodore Nott goes to the Malfoy home to visit Draco.

( Poor Theo never can get a break. )

• Draco Malfoy made an effort to be Harry's friend because he thought it would be cool to turn up at Hogwarts being his friend.

( Well yeah, who doesn't want to be friends with "The Boy Who Lived" ? )

• Draco Malfoy made peace with Harry but they were still not considered to be anything at all near friends.

( They are not gay for each other, no matter how many fan-fiction photos\songs\& stories are made. )

• IGN listed Draco Malfoy as their ninth top Harry Potter character.

( I would have said at least number seven. )

• It was made clear to him that he was triply special: firstly as a wizard, secondly as a pure-blood, and thirdly as a member of the Malfoy family.

( And he is played by an attractive actor, just another bonus. )

I hoped you enjoyed my comments : )
