Thought of the Day:
So get this...
- "I must admit, I was taken aback when
I saw the film Flitwick, who looks very
much like a goblin/elf (I’ve never
actually asked the filmmakers precisely
what he is), because the Flitwick in my
imagination simply looks like a very
small old man." – J.K. Rowling
Seriously??? I could SWEAR the guy was a goblin,
even in the books. How could I have missed that?

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. I think

Anyone who wants to celebrate Emma's birthday in a
very cool way can check out this website. They've
got an awesome idea for a birthday project. When
you submit, write in the subject line: "EW BD
Project from B&W".

Happy Birthday to the best supporter and fan anyone
could ever ask for...my Mom!
Love you,
The entire Books and Wands universe!...but
especially Ril ;)

Thought of the Day:
I had a professor in college whom I swore was the
real Professor Binns...He taught music history, was
about 118 years old, and caused us all to fall
asleep...no joke I almost called him Binns one
time...

The more and more CGI becomes popular, the less
call there will be for animal trainers on movie
sets.

Happy Birthday, Chance!
Thought of the Day:
I think Deathly Hallows would have had a greater
chance at award nominations if it had been one
movie. Granted the films aren’t always recognized
by the major award ceremonies, but I think they
lost all chance when they split their final film in
two.

Thought of the Day:
At first I was so upset that J.K. killed off both
Tonks and Lupin. I mean, c’mon, can’t their kid get
a break?? Now I get it. Harry’s godson was left
orphaned just as he was leaving Harry to become his
“Sirius.”
- Multiple Meanings are my first love...
RGW
| 22 February 2010 |
Thought of the Day:
And yet that is just another reason why I can't
stand the way she ended the series... I thought it
was horrific to kill both Tonks and Lupin for the
sole reason of Harry getting to be the godfather he
never had. And even with that we never get to see
Harry be this great godfather... Alas, my woes
never cease with this series (...really just the
last two books).
But I agree with love of Multiple Meanings, they
are quite fun.
Ril
| 24 February 2010 |
Thought of the Day:
Exactly, the least she could've done was EXPLAIN
the meaning behind Tonks and Lupin's deaths....I
kind of figured out that whole Sirius parallel on
my own, she barely acknowledged it.
And I STILL hate that Fred died instead of
Percy....HATE HATE HATE!
RGW
| 25 February 2010 |
Thought of the Day:
Totally agreed. I think the only reason it was Fred
was to horrify the fans. And because he has a
spare, or replacement -- which seems sick to me.
I swear towards the end of this series she got
sicker and meaner -- it's Voldemort's influence,
I'm sure of it. Or she just hates me...do you think
that's possible? Her hating me personally?
Ril

Thought of the Day:
I'm so glad we can have these little discussions,
Ril.
And, by the way, they'll be filming the epilogue
scenes last...just in case you were wondering.

So I don't know if everyone gets the paper or saw
it yesterday, but Parade reported that our Miss
Watson is Hollywood's highest paid actress - she
even makes more money than most boys - raking in
$30 million!
And here's a link to Parade's slide show of Emma
through the years.
Enjoy!

Thought of the Day:
This is NOT confirmed but Daniel Radcliffe might be
playing the lead in Nicholas Sparks’s The Lucky
One. I definitely love that Daniel would be
participating in another project from another one
of my favorite authors, but I was never a fan of
the movies based on Nicholas’s books. They usually
rip apart his original plot.

Word of the Week:
Eructation: the act of belching; a belch.
This is often heard echoing throughout the Three
Broomsticks after several rounds of butterbeer.

Thought of the Day:
Everyone is saying that Swiss ski jumper and
Olympic Gold Medalist Simon Ammann bares a striking
resemblance to Harry Potter.

Copycats: They are turning Breaking Dawn into two
movies.
RGW
| 8 March 2010 |
Thought of the Day:
Do you remember how long we had to wait between the
releases of books 4 and 5? At one point I actually
thought she had given up and was never going to
write the rest of the series. (Granted, it was only
like 2 to 3 years but that is a lifetime when
you’ve just found out that Voldemort is back and
want to know what happens next!)
