I don't go to theaters anymore. But I liked most of the Potter movies. Probably see it in a couple years! Have a good time and munch some popcorn for me.

I'll be there this weekend. We don't go to a lot of movies, but we've seen all the HP movies within a week of release, and have loved them all.

Rosewitch, England was definitely one of my favorite places I have ever visited. My folks took me there when I was 14, and I remember bits and pieces the Crown jewels, walking amongst the Stonehenge stones (roped off now, vandalism), Stratford upon Avon. Time for me to take my own 14YO. Im trying to think how I can get over there for a whole summer, LOL. Dlynn, I could have worked so much more. I didnt really look at night time stuff and there was loads to do. Greece: cant help you, but shoot Yasou a line, she went a few years ago. LOL Annie! Teresa, well go together. I wanted to explore more cooking and food shops/stores but didnt get to. Terri, here is more a link to Pictures of England, a website pointed out to me by Denise. I started it on Bourton on the Water, where we stayed for a few days. Thanks Sharon, I was actually thinking how can I even come close to posting her quality of travel guides, I dont do the pictures she does LOL. We might have sat at the same table in the Cheshire Cheeses dining room! Sawdust still there, but we didnt make it to the cellar. I missed a lot of the British Museum. It has changed.check out the new atrium. I couldnt keep up with DH and DS16. Afternoons, when I planned museums, I crashed. Next time! Pam, lots of people did more than we did per day! Theater every night, more attractions, I cant imagine. Gina heh heh yeah I need another vacation like a hole in my head. Speaking of whichDH has another week off in August. Nooooooooo! Kathleen, DH says he took an average of 200 pictures a day. Yup. Me, I just buy the post cards or Google the images, same thing (DARFC from the photo bugs here) Cathy, thanks for giving me the War and Peace moniker heh heh. Next time I go with CF friends! LindaC, I know. Im still exhausted. Speaking of the V&A, did you know there was a Dale Chihuly chandelier in the entrance room?

Harry Potter, I finally finished, did anyone save those threads?

Any interest in discussing character names? Since I didn't follow the first thread, I don't know if this has already been discussed. I found it interesting that certain characters were given names odd names and others were given common names. All the characters who have Latin names ending in "us" -- all those names have a meaning: Albus = white Rubeus (Hagrid) = red Sirius is the brightest star of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog, Sirius Black = Black dog Remus Lupin - Remus of legendary Romulus and Remus, twins nursed by a she-wolf (Lupa means she-wolf) Argus (Filch) - Argus is a monster with a hundred eyes Severus = Severe Bilius (Ron's middle name) = peevish or ill-natured Lucius = bringer of light Regulus = prince or heart of the lion, it's the bright star in the constellation Leo Some other interesting names: Harry (from Harold meaning Army Ruler) Hermione (earthy) Ronald (Advisor to the king) James (means supplanter) Lily (the flower?) Draco = dragon (or serpent), also means cruel or severe Bellatrix = female warrior Pettigrew = small growth Fleur Delaceur = flower of the heart Tom = twin Narcissa = vanity, callousness and insensitivity Phineas (nigelus) = loudmouth As for Voldemort -- well mort means dead or death, and the only meaning I could find for Vold is that it means violent in Danish. Could = violent death? Anyway, I think a lot of these names are very interestingÂ any comments?

Harry Potter Scarf
Q
Comments (15)
In my opinion, the best stitch for the HP/school color scarves is the simple k1, p1 rib. It looks like stockinette (from more and 2 feet away!), does not curl, and makes a wonderfully warm scarf. The HP-type scarves shown in the Lions Brand newsletter had "irregular" color blocks - large blocks of the main color, shorter blocks of a contrast color. I wonder if this is the new look from the yet-to-be-released movie? Can't wait to see!

Harry Potter and Book Seven
Q
Comments (85)
Hi I'm new to the forum but I've been dying to post what I think is coming to book 7... also forgive me if this has already been mentioned :). 1.) I truely believe Snape is still on the good side for a couple of reasons: a.) I think Snape was in love with Lily. It's kind of hinted in book 5 when Harry was in Snape's memory and Lily came to Snape's rescue. I think the only reason he said that nasty remark to her was because he was embarassed that he just showed HER and the other kids on the lawn his dirty undies and was made a fool by his competion. This is probably why James (had a hunch about Snape's feelings for her) and Siris (100% loyalty to James) hated Snape so much and why Snape hates James/Siris. Also, he probably hates Harry so much (not because his father saved his life and was jerk to him) because Harry is a walking/talking reminder Lily picked JAMES (in every book it remarks how Harry looks exactly like James. So everytime Snape looks at Harry he sees Lily in Harry's eyes and her decsion for a husband in Harry's other physical characteristics). b.) You have to admit, JKR was seriously setting up for everyone to hate Snape. I mean it was TOO built up to make everyone think he's on the dark side. Just seems like her to give us a twist. Plus, in EVERY book so far Snape has been Harry's number one suspect except book 6 when he's hunches are seemed to be confirmed... but are they? c.) It seems to me like DD was begging Snape in book 6 to kill him like he promised (if you remember Hagrid caught them fighting about something Snape didn't want to do). d.) JKR seems to be building Snape up for this great... whatever its called where he can shut out his thoughts and feelings from others... and I bet he can also do that against Vold. Why else is he the PERFECT spy? Its not secret Snape is a very powerful wizard and amazing abilities. e.) Last reason (there might be more but this is all I can think of =P) Snape did two things on the Hogwarts lawn... first he prevented Harry from performing the unforgivable curse. Well, you might say "well duh Snape didn't want to die or be tortured" but that comes to the second thing Snape did on the lawn. He didn't kill Harry. Some think that this might be because Voldamort had other plans for Harry and was ordered to not harm him, but I don't think that was it at all. Vold got what he needed from Harry in the 4th book and he couldn't get what he need in the 5th book (which he also needed Harry for). I honestly think Snape was keeping Harry from harm and keeping him from going to Azkaban. 2.) R.A.B. I have two ideas who this is. The first one is Siris' brother. I think it mentioned that his initials are Relmus A. Black (sorry if I botched his first name... but it starts with a "R" anyways). If you remember from book 5, a heavy lockit was found by Siris and he pitched it in the bag AND Remus was killed by the Dark Lord for wanting to back out... but they never got into the details...

I saw it Tuesday night and it was very good! I'm not a huge fan, but the opportunity presented itself, so the kids and I went to an advanced screening. Even though I don't keep up with all the Harry Potter storeies, I really enjoyed it and will be looking forward to part 2.

I'll be there at midnight tonight.

The wind gales are blowing; the snow is falling, and I have to leave early to stop by the late-night car repair place to get a headlight installed. There goes my nap time since it's an hour drive to the theater.

Oh well. A woman must do what a woman must do. I must see the special movies on their midnight releases! LOL

My niece and nephew are going tonight. I have to work tomorrow, so hubby and I will wait until next week when I'm off and it's not so crowded.

I'm really looking forward to it!

If anyone took photos at the midnight showing, I'd love to see them -not of the movie of course, but the fun crowd.

Kat, hope your son had fun! Mine has been in class (I hope anyway), just text him to see how it was. We are picking him up on the way home.

I couldn't wait until this weekend. I went today at 2pm. - just got home awhile ago. It was great. I won't post any spoilers, but will say this movie follows the book more than any of the others. If you've read the books you'll know what I mean.

There was a good crowd but the theater wasn't full. Not as fun as with a bunch of die-hard fans I'm sure, but I'm glad I went. Tonight will probably be packed.

Our town has a brand new movie theatre and tonight is opening night for it so it will be nuts! :o)

We just got back, it was good but they left out and changed alot from the books.
schoolhouse_gw

Well, I think they had to leave things out, but they did a much better job putting the more important parts in, unlike the other movies. And there was quite alot, in fact I would think if a person hadn't read the book they would be confused about all the new characters they added so quickly.

I was worried about the camping scene, as this to me is a boring part of the book, but in the movie it was done well enough.

As far as changes, I noticed a couple right off the bat; but I don't want to post any spoilers.
