It’s Not an Adventure Worth Telling Without Any Dragons

UDATE 11/05 Ladies and gentlemen, the plot thickens once more thanks to our new best friends at EW. Eccentric magizoologist Newt Scamander (Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne) comes to New York (for a reason we won’t disclose) with his trusty weathered case. This case is one of those way-way-way-bigger-on-the-inside magical devices, and within are expansive habitats for a collection of rare and endangered magical creatures from Newt’s … Continue reading It’s Not an Adventure Worth Telling Without Any Dragons

Happy Birthday, Sirius!

Back in early October, J.K. Rowling had a little fun on Twitter (nothing new) both supporting her team and bribing her fans to do so as well. Potterheads across the globe, whether supporters of the Scotland team or not, tweeted away in hopes of finally hearing this coveted information straight from Rowling herself. Lucky for us: That’s right, fans, today would have been Sirius Black’s … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Sirius!

“Cursed Child” Official Artwork Revealed

Pottermore’s Twitter account revealed this afternoon the first official artwork for the upcoming Potterverse stage production, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The image shows a young wizard, presumably, perched within what looks like a golden snitch, bird’s nest type hideaway. (I open at the close?) As we still don’t know who the child in question is, the only real clue we have is J.K. Rowling’s constant … Continue reading “Cursed Child” Official Artwork Revealed

I’m Going On An Adventure

Hello fellow fans, my name is Kaitlin, and I love to plan. As I sit here musing on another twenty-something birthday, my mind is filled with trepidation and exhilaration at what the future holds in store. People often say that’s what your twenties are for, but I would argue that whether you’re 18 or 98, you probably ask yourself that same question from time to … Continue reading I’m Going On An Adventure

Welcome to the New Pottermore

After waiting for what seems like forever after the Pottermore relaunch announcement (which was really only 11 days ago, but who’s counting?) the shiny, new version of the site went live today in honor of actor Tom Felton’s 28th birthday. I’ll start right here by saying that I already miss the interactive aspect of the website. So, if you were really into that in the old … Continue reading Welcome to the New Pottermore

From midnight book and film releases, to countless hours of fan fiction writing, we engrossed ourselves in the stories as much as we could. Little did we know, … Continue reading Pottermore Relaunch and the Age of the Hufflepuff

Fan Story: Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

There are three things I know for certain in my life. Yoga always feels good post practice, so get off your butt and into plank. Dogs truly are humankind’s best friend. I will never feel again how I feel about theme parks. From 1968 to 2003, it was difficult to be a Houstonian and not be a theme park junkie. Six Flags Astroworld was located just … Continue reading Fan Story: Vacation, All I Ever Wanted
