No problem Like I said, I'm a nut when it comes to HP. I feel the need to respond to every little thing

dateline= Wrote:Okay, firstly, where on Earth do I start? We are so spookily alike. I'm so happy about this! I had playlists dedicated to Harry Potter in general, the Ron and Hermione Ship and Rupert Grint because I'm in love with him. I say I had because I forgot my account password or username, I have no idea which either is, which is a shame, because I put a lot of effort into building these huge playlists. On my account now, I do have quite a few HP videos, but nothing like I had before, unfortunately.

That's dreadful I feel your pain, though. I've lost many a password/username. It's a sad, sad thing. Go R/Hr! I have quite a few fan-made videos of them, of course I have a lot of ship-related videos, actually

dateline= Wrote:Then about the OWL Scores, WOW! That is incredibly odd, but really cool! I really enjoyed doing those OWL's though, I actually felt like a witch at Hogwarts. :

Quite spooky, isn't it . I totally agree- I loved taking the OWL's. Oh how I wish they were real, sometimes 'Cause that would mean Hogwarts is real

dateline= Wrote:Then I have to ask about premieres. I have never been fortunate enough to go to any premieres in my life, never mind any Harry Potter ones, however my mum is considering treating me this year due to some family problems I don't really want to go into much, but she knows I love Harry Potter and she seems like she's really going to let me. I'm going to go with one of my best friends Melissa, if she can. But yes, I have to ask, how does the whole premiere system work? I know nothing about them, so this sounds silly, but, do you have to pay for premieres or can anyone just go for free if your in the location at the time? I'm guessing you have to pay for something as spectacular as that, but I just would like to know. And have you managed to get any autographs? Did you get a hug or kiss from any of the cast? If you did, you are an extremely lucky person, and I shall be jealous of you until the day I too get an autograph/hug/kiss from any of the cast (particularly Rupert!). And do so many people go that if, say you and I went, and I wanted to look out for you, would I be able to spot you?

Well, for starters, I'm sorry about your family issues. I, myself, have experienced my fair share of them, and I admit, they're not fun. If you ever do feel like venting, my PM box is always open With all of the similarities we have, I wouldn't be surprised if we had similar problems

On to the premiere - yes, you have to pay I believe the price varies according to how many people are expected to attend and how close to the premiere it is. It can get VERY expensive, depending on the popularity of the movie and such. I actually won tickets to the fourth movie in a drawing for some ritzy auction I had to help with. My uncle bought me tickets to see the fifth film (he's pretty rich and hands out money like tissues), so I'm forever grateful for that.

So, I've never had to buy my own tickets But I do know you have to pay for them. Or you might be lucky enough to win some, like I did.

I have autographs from nearly the whole cast, now. I only received a couple during the fifth premiere (mostly new cast members), but I was lucky enough to catch the main characters and some supporting characters during the fourth film's premiere.

Emma hugged me and, wait for it, Cassie...Rupert kissed my cheek I also got hugs from Emma Thompson and Gary Oldman, but they sort of pale in comparison.

It's usually very crowded, but chances are you could find someone if you're really looking for them. If you can find your way through the sea of press people and star-hungry fans, you're in good shape Most of the people you see lining the red carpet prior to the premiere don't actually make it in to the premiere. They're just fans. It's not as crazy as it seems on television.

At least, that's how I remember it

dateline= Wrote:And before I answer your question, about your very slight complaint... I actually agree. There is a spark, particularly in the first two, that I miss. Even in the third, too. Before their size tripled. I know what you mean. And I agree completely. The thing is though, I did read a Biography about Jo, and she was going through a very rough patch at the time of the fifth book, and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember why. I was 11 at the time of reading this, so I have an excuse.

Wow Someone who actually agrees with me We have way too much in common. Yeah, I heard about Jo's issues during the fifth book - can't say I remember either, though I was 12, I guess, when I read about it...maybe 11. Who knows...either way, I'll have to do some research now

dateline= Wrote:But even so, and this is where I answer your question, the 6th and 7th are indeed my favourites too. I liked the lighter tone book HBP presented compared with OOTP, which was a lot darker. But then, I felt so miserable at one point when I was reading book 7. The camping in particular, it was kind of draining my joy of having the book in my hands after so long of waiting. Not because I thought it was poorly written or boring or anything of the sort, I just missed Hogwarts. It makes me feel happy ! But Deathly Hallows is my favourite, particularly the war at the end, it's so enticing, I just got completely lost in it. Sometimes it was really funny to read that scene, others very depressing. There are a lot of deaths there, but one in particular upset me, though I won't say incase I spoil it for someone. There were so many deaths though, I was in utter shock. But I loved it when Ron and Hermione kissed! They are utterly adorable, I've been wanting them to get together since I was just 11! I started reading them when I was 6, but I wasn't interested (I didn't even notice) in the romances then.

Oh, the camping... I totally agree. Hogwarts is a big part of the HP series, and without it, it's just not the same. And I absolutely ADORE the last few chapters of DH. I agree about some parts being funny while others weren't funny at all. The scene with Mrs. Weasley was, I must admit, pretty hilarious

And, yes, they seemed to all drop like flies, didn't they?

And again, go R/Hr!! I loved it when they finally kissed...totally loved it.

dateline= Wrote:Question for Bambi - How long did it take you to read Deathly Hallows?

The night I really could not put it down. But at the same time, I kept thinking "this is it...once I finish, there's no more new HP books..." and that was kind of depressing. So everytime I thought about it being the end, I kind of slowed down. But curiosity got the best of me, and the book was read from cover to cover by sunrise
