You hate when you have Muggle parents and don't know what's going on during the summer, amirite?

I've got that problem too. My silly muggle family. I didn't even know about this years Quidditch World Cup until recently.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah, then of course after that Seamus, Harry, and Ron had to go and brag about going back then.

Silly Pure/Half-Bloods. I'm glad I'm a Ravenclaw. My best friends are books.

At least Hermione Granger is in my house. She can sympathize with me. But her family still goes on amazing Muggle trips. My boring Muggle family is really...Muggle-ish.

My Muggle mum is so dreary. Do they siriusly have to rely on technology so much? I wish I lived in some spiffy Wizard house like the Burrow.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The Burrow would be amazing. And if we didn't need a dishwasher! Oh, the possibilities.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

And having people apparating all around you. I mean siriusly, what's with these silly Muggle neighborhoods? No fireworks unless it's a holiday? What am I suppose to do with all my Filibusters then?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Exactly! I was so glad when I came of age. Now it's just a simple "Scourgify!" and the dishes are clean. My parents made me live in a Muggle neighborhood though, so I have to be careful.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

*Sigh* I'm only a fourth year at the moment. Won't be on my own for another three. But only two until I can apparate. It'll be fun apparating from one side of my room to another.

Yeah, learning to Apparate was always fun. Just don't be the 1 person who fails because he left his eyebrows behind. And don't splinch yourself.

Before I turned 11, when my magic was still out of my control, I'd 'accidentally' do that with the Muggle kids in my neighborhood. SO much fun.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I bet so. I never had a problem with my magic. Silly Muggle parents kept me calm. But now I regret never knowing what magical abilities I was capable of while I still had my inner-child in me.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

How did your parents react when they found out you were magic? Mine were completely surprised...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

They were baffled. Didn't even know what to say. Took them hours to find Diagon Alley. Much less find out how to let the school know I would be coming that year.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah..mine thought I was crazy at first. Took me to a physciatrist. In the end they figured out owls and everything though.

Silly Muggles. Psychiatrists are so over-rated. They're just wannabe Legilimens.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know! But then again, a Legilimen couldn't exactly explain to Muggles how they know what's going on.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I guess so. And what would happen if their patient was an Occlumens? That would be pretty confunding.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah. But I think Occlumency can be optional to use. SO you could let them know what's going on.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

True. That would be kind of cool. Is that how they do therapy in the Wizarding world?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't think there is therapy in the Wizarding world. The only reason people go crazy is as a result of the Cruciatus Curce, like the Longbottoms.

Hmm, it appears so. Darn, I need more wizard experience. I can't stay with these Muggles for much longer! *Bangs head on keyboard* Angst! Angst! Angst!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I got frustrated too. Don't worry, by the time you're a 7th year, you'll know EVERYTHING. At least you didn't have to deal with Harry's Muggle relatives. He was always complaining.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know. Poor Harry, but all his complaining must have been irritating. And I cannot wait for my 7th year. I hope to become a Magizoologist. I've always been interested in the more magical animals. They're so fascinating compared to these animals the Muggles marvel at.

Is Hagrid still Care of Magical Creatures teacher? I always liked him.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yes he is. He's gotten a lot better. Stopped using really dangerous creatures. I heard the Blast-ended Skrewts were horrible. I like him too. Not many Ravenclaws do, but I think he's fascinating, and a great friend.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's good. He hasn't resorted to flobberworms again, though, has he?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

We did a brief study on them in our third year, but only for a week. They were rather boring. He's brought us to the Thestrals, I'm still curious about them since I can't see them.

I had to run. They were after muggle-borns. It was horrible. It turns out we ran into Harry Potter while he was trying to defeat Voldemort without realizing it. We could have joined him, but he was so well hidden.

That must have been frightening. Glad I wasn't there. How was Voldemort? Bet he was pretty ugly looking.

Really it's not about how good you are in the class. If you know a couple good ones then you're good. But yeah, it was a really dark time. Who's headmaster at Hogwarts now? It's a shame Dumbledore had to die during all that.

I heard Dumbledore was great. We've still got McGonagall. She's brilliant, but I've always wanted to spent a day with Albus Dumbledore.

She's strict, but a great Headmaster. Slytherin can hardly get away with pulling pranks now. They've calmed down a lot. I heard the Weasleys were always fun to have around.

It was awesome. My 5th year...This awful lady, Umbridge, was "High Inquisitor" from the ministry. Even the other teachers somewhat approved it. And I know, it's pretty hilarious XD

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Eww. "High Inquisitor"? Sounds disgusting. I heard she was chased out by a wild band of Centaurs. And that she went all loony afterward and took weeks to recover.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That she was. I loved Firenze(one of the centaurs) for that.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I believe Firenze is still at the school. I dropped out of Divination. I'm in a few extra classes, and couldn't keep up with Divination. He was a great teacher though. And the classroom was lovely.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah. He was better than Trewlany(not sure how to spell it). How are you taking extra classes though? Have you got a time-turner like Hermione?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Just a few extra electives. Arithmancy and Study of Ancient Runes, so my schedule isn't too chaotic.

Glad Trelawney got booted off of the job years ago then. I heard she created an entire scene though. Poor thing must have been so ashamed. But Firenze is at least decently sane.

Haha "inner eye". I heard Trelawny predicted someones death in nearly every class period :/

Firenze never did that. He usually talked about the stars and lost prophecies and all that other rubbish.

Yeah. That stuff's not as much ribbish as Trelawny's stuff. The centaurs actually know a lot.

That's Blasphemy! Ban Quidditch? It's what keeps us studiers sane during the year! Is that woman still alive? I'd like to send her a portable swamp and a few Weasleys' Wild-fire Whiz-Bangs!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You should have seen our 5th year. Fred and George Weasley set off a bunch, then quit school. It was amazing. And the centaurs drove her mad. So she's probably alive, but not very sane. Yeah, and it was just Gryffindor too....she didn't like Harry Potter at all.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Now that must have been EPIC! Ha, now I know why some kids in my year say "I might just pull a Weasley and get out of here" when exam time comes around. I'll definitely be sending my owl, Diggory, off to send her a package >:-)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Haha good idea. You named your owl Diggory? That's sweet.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yes, in honor of Cedric Diggory. All of my Hufflepuff friends talk about him nonstop. He's a decent sized Light-grey owl. In a certain light he resembles Hedwig (R.I.P.)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah Cedrc was pretty popular. Hedwig was such a pretty owl. Really smart too, from the way she always found Harry.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I heard she was a lot like that. Must have been really well-liked in the school. Snowy-Owls are so brilliant. Harry must have been devastated when losing her. From what I've read, The Second Wizarding War was brutal for everyone.

I finished it at midnight last night, having started at midnight the morning of that day. Took me a while to read it, but now I kind of hate myself for ever even picking it up. Even if I could never read it, at least I would always know that there was still another book waiting. But man, was the second wizarding war terrifying! Oh and I realized, WWI could stand for Wizarding War 1 and WWII be Wizarding War 2!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Haha yeah it could! And I know, I hate that there's no more to read. It'll be worse when the movie comes out...it's like it all ends! Which was your favorite book?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Hmmm, It's a tie between Deathly Hallows and Goblet of Fire. Yours?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I can't decide. It's between Goblet of Fire, Half-Blood-Prince, and Deathly Hallows. I love most of them :P

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Me too. I love Deathly Hallows because it's so different from the other six novels. It took me a while to realize that I was even reading a Harry Potter book during Deathly Hallows. I probably love Goblet of Fire because of Dobby (R.I.P. Dobby, A free Elf)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know, Deathly Hallows was amazing. I was so used the Hogwarts setting, then they leave and are moving everywhere. I loved Goblet of Fire because of Dobby, and the mystery kinda part of it was really cool. And I think J.K.R really developed Hermione in that one. I like Half-Blood-Prince too.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah. I love all the books really. Along with their side-journeys at Hogwarts and all of the mystery and mayhem. Did you hear that they showed DH pt.1 at a theater a few days ago in Chicago? I heard it was amazing! Even though some of the special effects weren't complete, so you could see a green screen sometimes. Even non-Harry Potter fans enjoyed it! And I warn you, I heard Dobby's death is quite the tear-jerker ;-(

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Wow, lucky Chicago people! And I know, it even was in the book. I hope they include him digging the grave. And I will kill someone if they don't include "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Bellatrix should have learned not to mess with Mama Weasley! I think that will be one of the most memorable parts of the movie... And I think they do include the grave-digging part, I saw still pictures of the movie, and it showed Harry with a shovel digging.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Good. That part was really emotional. I hope they don't leave out too much like the other movies. They shouldn't, considering they're splitting it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know. That means they at least have two and a half hours to it, so they should be able to fit in all the nooks and crannies. Maybe even add in a few little extra things.
