Yes, I'm talking about Pottermore.
I don't know. I'm just really happy! This is the last bit of my childhood that will be new. I know I'll always have the books and the movies, and I'll never get sick of them, but they will never be new again.
Right now, they're finding a million (which in the Harry Potter fandom, isn't actually that much) fans to beta test the website before it's official release in October.
To get in,you basically just have to answer a question. Like "how many boos are in the series? Times this number by 10".
They are meant to start off really hard, but even the question on the first day was really easy.
Waiting for the email saying we were succesful was really intense! Now we're just waiting for the email that says when we can actually begin beta-testing...

So in My Last Post I Kinda Forgot To Mention I Might Come Back Oneday
It's funny how when you stop blogging, thats when all the writing inspiration comes.
So the Miley Cyrus concert. It was actually pretty amazing. Miley is amazing live. But I was seriously amazed at how many two year old were there. We were closer to the back than the front though, but the view was amazing. Moving on though.
I am a massive Potterhead. And I went to my first midnight screening. You know what makes me extremly happy? Though the world premiere in London was on the 9th, the official release date for the US and England is on the 15th, but us Aussies, being incredibly cool, got it on the 13th. I know right!
Though I don't think the movies will ever be as amazing as the books, the final movie was amazing. They cut quite a bit out though including *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* Fred's death. I guess I'm kind of glad though, because all the other deaths had me absolutly bawling my eyes out. Even when the WB logo came on at the begininning, I sobbed.
I just really love my aunty. She made me a robe to dress up with and I really love it. It's Ravenclaw, so it's automatically awesome.
You know what another amazing movie is though? Cars 2. I love love love the original, but I thought that the second would be a bit of a let down. It's basically a spy movie, and we all know I love spies. Mater and Lighning's friendship is amazing.
They showed the Glee Live 3D trailer, so that's never bad. The Warblers had Red Vines, so that's not bad at all either.
This has been a boring post, but I just really felt like posting something XD

Today We Put Our Christmas Tree Up.
We finally put our tree up, with 3 days to go til Christmas. It's quite pretty but it still doesn't put me in the Christmas mood.
It doesn't feel like Christmas though, despite the fact that I'm typing this on a laptop in the living room and I can see the Christmas tree right now, straight infront of me. Normally at Christmas time, it's stinkin' hot and we spend the day in one of our relatives pools.
But today it was freezing cold and it rained! In Summer! Apparently it snowed in the Australian Alps today.
It just feels like any other winter day.
I think that the reason that it doesn't feel like Christmas is because of the weather. And it can be sunny all year around so I don't just associate the weather with Christmas, like all you Americans associate now with Christmas. Besides, you get snow just at Christmas time, not all year round.
I'm pretty sure that some plague or something has hit Australia. None of the other Australian blogs I follow really feel like it's Christmas either. I call it the it-doesn't-feel-like-Christmas-plague.

My New Favourite Movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Reveiw: Will Contain Spoilers
Okay, so we arrive at the cinema and go up the elevators to get our tickets and I hear some girls saying that they've just re-watched AVPM. I thuoght only cyber dorks who blog watch AVPM!
I really loved this movie. Really liked. It made me cry and it made me laugh.
Anyway, I liked how they added humerous bits in quite frequently, which made me laugh, and make the movie not so dark. And the fact that it's Harry Potter definatly changed my opinion a bit. I liked how it wasnt too rushed, and it stayed pretty true to the book.
I'm also sorta glad that it wasn't in 3D, because near the beginning when Nagini jumped out at you, it was scary enough.
It was really sad when Dobby died, but I think it was really well done. My favourite scenes were the 7 Potters scene and the bit where Bellatrix was torturing Hermione. I liked the 7 Potters scene because it was quite funny, and well, beacause I just did. I liked the torture scene because its torture, and I think Emma Watson's acting was really good.
My favourite character was Hermione. I would kill to have a wardrobe like Hermione's.
And you should never end a movie with that much suspense. Even if it is only part 1.

P.S. I never did end up finishing the book...

I really liked how they added thing in aswell, like at the beginning, they showed Hermione wiping her parents memories.But thy also left out some of my favourite bits. Small buts, but still my favourite. Like instead of Harry using Polyjuice Potion at the wedding, he went as himself.

When You Have a Song Stuck in Your Head...
What song is stuck in your head right now?
In my head is Back To Hogwarts. Ha! Never heard of it have you? Well, we're gonna have to fix that!
I've been humming it all day, and trying to talk my friends into listening to it, but I dont think they will.
It's from A Very Potter Musical and its "Totally Awesome!" I totally watching the whole musical. Click Here. You won't regret it...
In other news, did anyone see Glee the other night? The one where Darren Criss (Harry Potter) sung Teenage Dream?

P.S. You never tell a girl you like her. It makes you look like an idiot.

Preparing
Right now, I'm watching A Very Potter Musical, trying to get myself even more excited for Deathly Hallows. Tickets have been booked. YAY! It probably didn't help that Darren Criss was on Glee last night, with him being in AVPM.(Ahh. Last nights episode was the best.)
Then tomorrow I think I'll watch all the movies in order.
I'm also re-reading the 7th book for about the millionth time.I have a week to finish it, and I'm only up the the 7 Potters part.
What are you doing to prepare for the new movie? Are you as excited as I am?

6 DAYS TO GO!
"I gotta get back to Hogwarts,
I gotta get back to school.
Gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
Where everybody knows I'm cool."

5 Little Randomz
1) Is it sad I can't remember every little detail from Harry Potter anymore? I think yes. I used to be obbsessed, and I stil am, I just havn't read the book for ages.
2) I started reading Twilight. It's pretty good so far, but I flipped ahead, and I still have 100 pages to go until she finds out he's a vampire. Talk about slow.
3) You can make me very excited by just showing me the Harry Potter trailer, or the TWTWB trailer. Is anyone else excited about Harry Potter 7, or is it just me? I'm even struggling to sleep, knowing that Tommorrow When the War Began is out and I havn't seen it yet. Have you seen it? Was the acting bearable?
4) I had already started looking at showbags for the Royal Show, even when it was a month away. I think I have decided what ones I want. Only we're saving for Sydney, so we might not even go. At least I'm sure to get in and go because the Guides do volunteer work and get free entry. SCORE!
5) I'm very good at neglecting blogs, as you have probably noticed from my lack of posts showing up on your dashboards.

P.S. I'm about to get readiy to post all of my designs on this blog.
