"Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

A list of things I will probably get laughed at for having in my dorm room.

1) The entire collection of Harry Potter books along with a couple of other books related to the series.

2) The entire collection of Shakespear's Comedies and Tragedies.

3) My wand.

4) My quills, nibs, and ink.

5) Countless poetry books.

6) My hot pink skinny jeans.

7) All of my piano/vocal music.

8) The music stand I stole from SHS.

9) Both of my trombones.

10) The movies I love that I own on DVD (Thumbelina, Anastasia, Forest Gump, Moulin Rouge, and Narnia)

11) The picture of Tom Felton set as my desktop background.


Yep, I'm a nerd. I really hope my roommate can stand living with me. Luckily, she'll only have me for one semester.

Harry Potter

I'm a Harry Potter nerd. Therefore, a post dealing with this topic had to pop up at some point. I suppose it's poping up now due to the fact that the newest movie was just released and I've finished reading through the entire series...again.

First, I'm going to do my rant about the movie. I enjoyed it as a movie itself, but compared to the book...well, it fell short. The title Half Blood Prince. The movie only brings up this three times. The first time is a zoom in of the textbook and the "This book is the property of the Half Blood Prince." Hermione then tells Harry off once for having the book and then all of a sudden at the end Snape just goes "That's right, I'm the Half Blood Prince." So, where is the whole plot leading up to that? I know that it wasn't an important aspect of the book, but putting it in there especially to get a glimpse of the "evil" side of Snape would have been nice. And then, where is the whole plot about the horcruxes? Let's show the memory of Voldemort as child when it really has nothing to do with the plot and you could have at least shown something that would then make sense when the next movies come out! The only mention of horcruxes are in Slughorn's memory. So Harry knows there are seven horcruxes and that there was the diary, locket, and ring...now he has no clue what the others are because Dumbledore is dead. "Horcruxes can be ordinary things like a locket or a diary." NO! To Voldemort they were not ordinary things, they were things that meant something to him and showed his desire for power. The locket belonged to his mother and was a heirloom of Slytherin's. The ring was from the Gaunt family, the last of the purebloods from the Slytherin line. The Diary was Tom Riddle's proof that he was the last heir of Slytherin. Hufflepuffs goblet, something from one of the founders of Hogwarts, like Slytherin, and Hogwarts was the only place where he felt somewhat at "home." The same thing can be said of Ravenclaw's diadem. Nagini became one because yet again, showed his connection to Slytherin, as well as is power of parseltongue. So now Harry is going into the 7th movies without a clue as to what to even start doing. I also got really excited when they went in to the room of requirments to get rid of the potions book...and then Ginny goes and hides it...WTF!?!? I wanted a glimpse at the diadem! Harry is probably going to randomly run into the room of requirements in the 7th movie to escape from something and trip over it. Not at all exciting.

Those were my only two real complaints about the movie. Of course there were some smaller things that bugged me, but leaving out the two major plots...come on!

I feel like this is a good place to stop my Harry Potter rant for now. Don't worry, there will be plenty more of them in the future, I'm sure of it.
