A Very potter Musical...

This past week, my cousin snet me a link to something I think that changed my life. Not so much in the Harry Potter life changinf epicness, but close to that. A Very potter Muscial. Review. It was roll on the floor, peeing your pants, years rolling down your eyes, hiccups for the rest of your life funny. The great thing is, it poked fun at Harry Potter in a way that fans can appriciate. The best example? A Voldy-Quirrel-Belatrix love triangle. It's been written hundreds, if not thousands of times. And it worked. And Malfoy had a Crush on Hermione. Again, it's been written thousands of times. And the thing that gets me every time? Ron. Joey Richter was amazing. And so was the writng for Ron. He always had some sort of snack. And he was angsty. And was painted as the guy that's just always there, useless. And just.so.funny. There were power balads, jazz numbers, even a tap number by Joe Walker a.k.a Voldemort, who made Voldemort forever sexy in my mind. The musical had a rawness about it. It wasn't like any other show I've ever seen before. It was so much diffrent. And that's what makes it even better. And the singing. For any theater nerd like me, I rejoiced at the singing. Not only was it funny and well writtem but it was musically amazing. Let's call this play, A Very Potter Triple Threat. I haven't seen the sequel, but I plan to take a chunk out of my day to watch it all by myself, so I can revel in the Harry Potter epicness all over again. Bits and pieces. Stars: 5/5 Rating: PG-13 for sexual refrences, swearing and adult humor. Who should watch this? Everyone who is anyone. It has some spoilers for both the books an movies, so be wary if you don't want to ruin anything. Cast. HARRY – Darren Criss RON – Joey Richter HERMIONE – Bonnie Gruesen VOLDEMORT – Joe Walker QUIRREL – Brian Rosenthal DRACO – Lauren Lopez DUMBLEDORE – Dylan Saunders SNAPE – Joe Moses GINNY – Jamie-Lyn Beatty GOYLE/RUMBLEROAR – Jim Povolo NEVILLE – Richard Campbell CHO CHANG – Devin Lytle LAVENDER BROWN – Sango Tajima CRABBE – Julia Albain CEDRIC – Tyler Brunsman BELLATRIX – Britney Coleman MOLLY WEASLEY – Lily Marks

Best Harry Potter Memes.... OF ALL TIME...

Here are just a few of my favorite Harry Potter memes... all images found on Google..

What Harry Potter taught me...

I grew up with Harry Potter. Literally. When the idea first poped into J.K. Rowling's head, I wasn't even born. When the first book came out, I was 2. When the first movie was being produced, I was 4. When I discovered the wonderful world of Harry Potter, I was 8 or 9. And by it's ending, I am now 14. Ten happy years later, here I am, celebrating one of the greatest franchises in the world. Harry Potter has taught me many important values and lessons and that is what I want to reflect on today.

1. There is no definate line of Good and Evil. People cannot be purely good or purely evil. They mush have both in order to be human. They may loose one side of them , but each of us has that decision.
2. Bravery may as well be one of the greatest traits in a person. If one is brave, so much more can result from that.
3. If you put your mind to something, you can achive it.
4. Anyone has the ability to become anything that they want.
5. There is always magic in the world, you just have to look for it.
6. If you surround yourself with good friends, you will be the happiest person alive.
7. Sometimes, things may not be clear, but in the end, it will all reveal itself to you.

So let's raise our Butterbeer mugs to a franchise that has raised a generation, taught values and given countless number of people something to hope for, a small white envelope adressed to them, giving them acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

where's My Letter?

Every Harry Potter fan wonders why they didn’t get heir letter. Some, who fall off the bandwagon, much like with Santa Clause, claim that Hogwarts is not real. Some say that their letter just got lost. And I’m going to step out of the little fantasy world I live in on this blog and be blunt. I know Harry Potter may not exist but I like to think that struggles like his do. I’d like to think that people must struggle with the evil vs. good concept all the time. I’d like to think that there are people out there like the witches and wizards of Hogwarts. And who knows? Maybe there are. I would love to live in a place like Hogwarts-magical or not. The people there share one simple string in common; they are there because of how special they are. They share friendships, triumphs and failures. I would love to meet someone like George or Fred, funny and charming all the time. Maybe someone like Collin Creevy, sometimes overbearing but he will take a bullet-er, spell for you. Maybe my best friend would be Hermionie, she’s smart and yet still has her wits about her. And she grows up to beautiful. Maybe I would have a best guy friend (maybe a boyfriend) like Ron. He’s practical. He has a pretty good sense of right and wrong. And he makes mistakes, and admits to them. Maybe another friend in my circle would be Harry. He would be a good person to help me when I’m up against something bigger than me. He would help me out whenever I need it. And he would get into shenanigans with me to. I might have a “loony” friend like Luna, she can be a good friend that stands by you when you need her most, and she has a different view of the world, which can be good for problem solving. Maybe I’ll know someone like Neville, who may not appear to be very smart, but turn out to be amazing at something that I have no clue about. Maybe I’ll know someone like Ginny, who is faithful and knows how to take life with a dash of salt and sometimes sugar. She would be a good best friend. Now that I think about it, I know many people like the ones I listed above. I know a Luna and a Ginny. I know a Harry and a Hermionie and a Ron. I know a Collin and a George. I can conclude that Hogwarts is not just simply a place; it is a personification of the world. It has evil and it has good. It has friends and triumphs. But it also has fears and failures. It has all of the things that it takes to live. So don’t sit around wishing and wanting your letter to Hogwarts, because you may just find that Hogwarts is all around you.
