Harry Potter - love or hate it?

[Zetti]

I loved the film. Neville's bit was the best, his stumble did have me laughing a little bit but that was mainly because I was trying not to cry.. (didnt work) I don't think I have ever cried that much at a film, not even the Titanic and I cried so much at that.

The highlight was the last scenes. Full cycle, with Harry/Ron/Hermione and then the kids at the end. It was so perfect and yep credit to the producers, crew and the cast of course as well as J K Rowling, all of them have been so fantastic in bringing HP to life, it will live on in my hearts and all of the HP fans forever! I miss it already but I can re watch it on DVD, again and again and again.

Ah I loved it!! I did feel it went into the whole thing really fast but all the same it was really good. I couldnt remember Snape dying in the books ( I know, how could I forget such a big thing?! ). Also, I was wondering how they were going to do the whole 19 years later bit and if they would use different actors but I was so glad they didnt as it wouldnt have been the same even if they didnt look any older. I loved Neville too. And Professor Mcgonagle when she was doing all the spells then said how she always wanted to do that spell. Im so upset its the end now though

So.

I got my Pottermore email last night and finally got to log in. First impressions? Sooooo pretty! . I'm pretty stoked with my wand -- Cypress and Unicorn Hair, 10 inches. Matches me perfectly but then the sorting happened. Now, when I read the books I was adament I was Ravenclaw (I studied hard and really liked school, so it made sense). Then I did about 5 sorting hat quizzes and each put me in Hufflepuff, which I didn't really have a problem with, (just that I tended to lose things rather than find them,) but I am pretty loyal. So, that's where my mind was at and up until getting into Pottermore I would have been content with either house. IN my mind there was just no way I was either a Slytherin or a Gryffindor. Until now. The hat sorted me into Gryffindor . I'm so thoroughly confused and going through a bit of a personality crisis. I'm not a hero or courageous or daring by any stretch of the imagination. I like books and reading and would much rather stay at home than go out. I just ... don't get it .

I need friends! Is anyone else here on Pottermore?

I got in about a week ago. I love it. So much. I was sorted into Ravenclaw, and I have no problem with that. And Jen, online sorting put me in Hufflepuff to, so I was kind of expecting to be there, but I'm happy with what I've got. Some of the sorting questions were very random though, I don't understand how choosing between left and right, and heads and tails is supposed to decide which house you belong in, but anyway .

[Jen]

^ Yeah, my last questions were Dawn or Dusk and then Heads or Tails. Strange. *shrugs* I'm slowly dealing with my new Gryffindor-ness. Hermione was a Gryffindor after all, and she's one of my favourites. Neville too, so I guess I'm okay. I might have broken my computer if I was sorted into Slytherin though .

What's your Pottermore name? We should be friends . I'm AshSpell131.

[Luc]

I wouldn't have minded being sorted into Slytherin. After all, they ARE ambitious. And being a Hufflepuff would've been awesome. They are particularly good finders, after all.

My name is WildCastle43. Such a random name, but I love it anyway.

[Jen]

^ Oh, I have nothing against Slytherins at all, I'm just not one of them. I couldn't be cunning if my life depended on it .

That's a really cool name. WildCastle sounds like it could be it's own fantasy series .

[Luc]

I know right! It's just seems, compared to other names, it seems less Harry Potter-ish. Oh wells, I love it all the same.

I couldn't be cunning either, but if Sorty decrees it, then it must be done .

I was mildly shocked when I saw this...I remember hearing that the guy had drug issues but this is just a bit extreme...

Harry Potter's Jamie Waylett charged over London riots petrol bomb.

Harry Potter actor Jamie Waylett has been charged with having a petrol bomb during the London riots and has also been accused of growing cannabis.

Harry Potter actor Jamie Waylett, pictured here in 2009 ahead of an earlier cannabis charge, has been accused of being in possession of a petrol bomb during the London riots.

The 22-year-old, who played Draco Malfoy's clumsy side-kick Vincent Crabbe, is said to have been armed with a petrol bomb with intent to destroy or damage property during the widespread riots in August.

The charge alleges Waylett had the explosive 'in your custody or under your control' under the Criminal Damage Act.

He is accused of violent disorder in Chalk Farm, north London, and is also charged with handling stolen goods after a bottle of champagne was allegedly looted from Sainsbury's during the disturbances.

The young actor, who starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in the Harry Potter series, is also accused of growing cannabis at the Kilburn flat that he shares with his mother, two brothers and a sister - which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years.

Police allegedly seized 15 mature plants from his bedroom during the course of Waylett's arrest.

Waylett appeared before Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in September and was released on bail with a 7pm to 7am curfew. He will appear in court again next month.

He was previously arrested in 2009 for the illegal production of cannabis and was sentenced to 120 hours community service after he was caught with ten cannabis plants.

Does anyone on Pottermore know where to go to unlock the red circled chain..?

I've looked for it everywhere and it won't let me go to the next chapter without unlocking it...
