A Very (James) Potter Post


James picture above. 
James music below.


And three (tiny) James excerpts:
A very happy James Potter day to all!

I
“Oh, and will you please explain to me who this Cinderella bird is and why it is that she’s ruining my life?”
II
“Would you prefer I invent an inexplicable nickname for you?” Lily replied, half exasperated.


“It would certainly feel a little less circa-fifth-year.”
III

"Well, frankly, fuck them!" said James impatiently.

  2. Feeling down about my nonfiction essay that won't go anywhere. Feeling like nothing significant has happened in my life ever. Feeling like life sucks and there's nothing that could possibly make me feel better.

    Check Jules' blog: AW, HELLS YEAH! LIFE IS WONDERFUL AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG!

    Today is aces.

  3. James Potter. OneRepublic (seriously that song is perfect). Excerpts.

    THIS POST.

    BLESS THIS WHOLE POST

    :'-)

  4. YAY! I love all of these! Today is a glorious day. :D

  5. Jules I just want it so badly. Right now.

    ReplyDelete
  6. That's what she said...

    ReplyDelete
  7. I was so excited about the excerpts that I completely skipped over OneRepublic. Bree is right; that song IS perfect.

  8. Best un-birthday present ever. For us I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Dang, you go out of town for one weekend and miss an entire post.

    Happy birthday James!!

    Super excited for this chapter and "the plan"

    ReplyDelete
  10. OMG best day ever! brilliant post!

  11. this just made my entire life better

  12. Blogspot really needs to have a like button for posts and comments.

    ReplyDelete
  13. This is totally random but every time James Potter gets so much hate on tumblr I go here on Jules' blog to be surrounded with TLAT awesomeness and James Potter love.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Why does it start to ressemble The Beatles break up. Maybe it shows that Carlotta is a wannabe Yoko Ono.

    ReplyDelete
  15. ^^ Suddenly hearing Eric Foreman in my head: "You're breaking up the band, Yoko!"

    ReplyDelete
  16. Lol but I was always a Jackie/Hyde shipper myself.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Cariza, yes. I want to vomit with all the hate. I actually went and did HW to get away from it.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I try not to spread the hate, but who decided that Jackie should end up with Fez when she was clearly meant to be with Hyde?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Lol, seriously KK. I think it was supposed to be funny... and it wasn't.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Jackie ending up with Fez was just so random. It's better than ending up with Kelso. Jackie and Hyde brought up the best of each other, Who else had a "AWW" moment when Hyde shaved his beard to make Jackie feel a bit better after her dad got sent to prison?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Lol, yeah, it was just annoying, because I had never watched That 70s Show for relationships. It was just funny. But then they got me so invested in Jackie/Hyde, before having her go with Fez. I fucking love Fez, of course, but it was just silly.

    ReplyDelete
  22. This is a beautiful post Jules.

    "This is totally random but every time James Potter gets so much hate on tumblr I go here on Jules' blog to be surrounded with TLAT awesomeness and James Potter love. " AMEN Cariza!

  24. Sigh. The song is an excellent choice. Now I can't stop listening to it. And it's great that there are still places when you can show appreciation for James Potter and not get mobbed.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I still can't understand why Snape gets so much popularity. He may have acted bravely in the end but he was still a very selfish and bitter man until the end. And I know this is very much out of subject, but does anybody know how the whole Hermione/Draco pairing had begun. There is so many stories about them and it makes absolutely no sense.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love James. And Sirius. And Remus. And even occasionally Peter. I also love Snape. It makes perfect sense in my brain, they're all great.
    "Well, frankly, fuck them"
    not sure I got those italics right, anywayyy, this reminded me of gone with the wind combined with that fan fiction (LJ) that is modelled after gone with the wind. Ace

    ReplyDelete
  27. I can see the appeal in Hermione/Draco. Enemies, sexual tension, bad guy goes good for the girl etc.

    Better Hermione/Draco than Hermione/Snape. *shudder*

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hermione/Snape? Oh god no. Please... no. *cringe* I need to get this image out of my head.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This entire time, Cariza, I thought your icon was of a parrot in a cage. I'm going insane...

    ReplyDelete
  30. dear jules
    i just realised that it is fast approaching the end of march
    does that mean a new chapter is being finalised?
    hehe yay
    much love

    ReplyDelete
  31. God love you, Jules. God love you. (Of course, this sentiment is entirely contingent on whether or not you believe in a higher power so deemed as "God" and if you believe that particular deity is capable of expressing love. Because if you did, and if he/she was, he/she'd love you for loving James Potter.)

    ReplyDelete
  32. ... On an ever-so-slightly random note... does anyone actually know when the other marauders birthdays are?

    'Cos, as awsome as James in the marauders are like James x4...

    ReplyDelete
  33. LOVE IT.
    the l/j excerpt is awesome.
    the first one is confusing. is carlotta acting cindereally?

    BREE,
    do you still like kevin flamme for james?
    a delish pic of him and my sirius.

    Sirius Black: birthday unknown (either 1959 or 1960)

    Remus Lupin: March 10, 1960

    Peter Pettigrew: birthday unknown (either 1959 or 1960)

    hp-lexicon.org has all sorts of goodies.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I thought Remus birthday was on March 23rd?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Fantastic post! Love the excerpts :)

    Oh what a good day to be born on, Mr Potter. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. 1002-No, definitely March 10.

    Sirius' birthday is believed to be in either September or October 1959, as JKR revealed that he was 22 when he got sent to Azkaban (which was on Halloween 1981). But that's not definite, it's possible JKR was being approximate.

    Hate to disagree with todd, but stay away from hplexicon. Their timelines are awful and they have so much information missing. People think hplexicon can provide you with definitive information about anything you need in the HP universe, but sadly that's not the case. You're more likely to make mistakes if you use hp-lexicon than without.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love James Potter

    ReplyDelete
  39. "Well, frankly, fuck them!"
    I love you James Potter. Marry me?

    This is random, but I was in class today and in the middle of the professor's monologue (and I mean, monologue) I thought that this week LaT will be updated. Turns out that by thinking about chapter 31 made me miss ten minutes of explanations (!!). And to top it off, by the end of the class the professor said that it will be extremely important for the exam *sigh*
    See what you're doing to us Jules? Have you no mercy? Even for those poor little puppies?

    ReplyDelete
  40. 11:21- what's wrong with hp-lexicon? I think it's useful.

    ReplyDelete
  41. 1131--It's full of mistakes.

    ReplyDelete
  42. @1142 hp-lexicon hasn't been updated since around August of 2007 (right after DH came out) so there's a lot of missing info. I wouldn't say it's full of mistakes, per say, it's just that some of the info in the books contradicts itself and hp-lexicon doesn't always make that clear. But JKR likes the site - on her website she said that she would go there to check accuracy when she was writing so she wouldn't make mistakes. But yeah, it's not perfect. However it's better than the hp wikia and more comprehensive.

    ReplyDelete
  43. "Well, frankly, fuck them!"
    James Potter, I am head over heels in love with you. Will you marry me? :)

    Regarding the posts somewhere up there, I think that Draco and Hermione are SO MUCH BETTER than Snape and Hermione. Some people like Snape and Harry together. What is wrong with the world?

    ReplyDelete
  44. God, I love this song!! I just picture James casually, strutting down the hall at school with girls just throwing themselves at him (and I'm one of them). And I could see Lily rolling her eyes and smirking at him. Jules, you created this whole music video in my head lol

    ReplyDelete
  45. "Well, frankly, fuck them!" said James impatiently.

    Maybe James is talking to Carlotta, telling her that now she's free to secure all the homework help she needs because he's breaking up with her.

    We can all dream, right?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hey.. The recurring couch could be the green(?)couch in the Head's room :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Lol, that couch actually will reappear later, but not in Chapter 31.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hermione/Draco fanfics were actually what initially got me into the whole fanfic thing. I Just happened to read a really good one, a long LONG time ago and it sucked me into fanfic world. There are so many good stories about them out there.

    I will never understand the Snape/Hermione or Snape/Harry thing though.

    I wish Lily/James have better stories out there. Besides TLAT, there is only 2 or 3 other novel-length ones that are well-written..

    ReplyDelete
  49. Anon. 12:38 PM
    YES. I love that music video thing. it's playing in my head too. :)

    Looking for novel length L/J? these are my favourites.
    Boyfriend by Molly Raesly is amazing,

  54. I wish the writer actually wrote more of the sequel. :/ (Scribblings of a Redhead and a Quidditch Captain)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Chubby- HOLY SHIT. That is one hot Sirius. Hot damn. And yes, I still like Kevin as James! I dunno what it is about him but he is the closest representation of my James.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Guess who's birthday it was yesterday!
    That's right, me!
    ...and James Potter, yes.
    Anyways, I saw this and I was all AWWWW, a present!
    Thanks, Jules :D

    ReplyDelete
  57. So, how goes the completion of the next chapter Jules? Would it be wishful thinking to hope that it will be up this month?

    ReplyDelete
  58. That's awesome to share a birthday with James. He's probably the best person you can even share a birthday with. :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oh, stop it. You're making me blush

    ReplyDelete
  60. ^ I'd repeat my "God love you" sentiment, but I suspect he already does.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Jesus ships James and Lily

    this must be the ultimate leverage in a James vs. Snape argument

    ReplyDelete
  62. Jesus wouldn't be my pic for a birthday twin. I like getting presents throughout the year. Plus like, yo, Christmas isn't actually his birthday. Former pagans just didn't want to give up their Winter Solstice Fest so they Christianized it.

    This is really just me being insecure. I don't want to share a birthday with JC because I know all our friends would go to his party, not mine.

    ReplyDelete
  63. @were-rhino: LOL. Cannot unsee.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I suspect the "them" in the ""Well, frankly, fuck them!" said James impatiently." is James talking to Carlotta and referring to his friends. Most unfortunately.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Nooooooo. That WOULD be unfortunate, so luckily, it's not about his friends.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Thank goodness! I got so sad when 9:46 suggested that

    ReplyDelete
  67. I was thinking that since "fuck" was italicized, that he was suggesting that someone actually "fuck" them....but of course that would suggest an orgy...which would be weird territory for jules, me thinks.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Jules, your blog is full of craziness.

    Conversation just went from Jesus to orgies. How the hell did that happen?

    ReplyDelete
  69. actually, the 2nd excerpt concerns me.
    why have l/j regressed to 5th yr? that was a terrible yr for them!

    ReplyDelete
  70. @1050: a topic leads to a second one and that leads to a third, so on and so forth, and we end up talking about something unrelated to the starting topic, lol. see previous entries for more fun randomness.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think she's going to be calling him Potter instead of James, and that's why it will be circa-fifth-year.

    ReplyDelete
  72. "Well, frankly, fuck them!"
    Maybe James is in his counseling session getting it all out about the haters? So 'them' could mean everyone?
    Oh i can't wait to see these sessions.

    ReplyDelete
  73. ps Just wanna share this with everyone who doesn't have a tumblr... RIP dear puppies, RIP all the puppies. *tear*

  78. Ugh, Jules, why did you post that song? I can't stop listening to it. I think I might more in love with James than before...

    ReplyDelete
  79. 1238 I loooove your idea ! I really can picture the One Republic song while James and the Marauders are slowly walking inside the Great Hall, everyone looking at them , Sirius winking at every girl, James smiling slighlty arrogantly to annoy Lily, Remus slighlty behind looking between ashamed and amused (Peter doing I don't know what) and finally James stopping in front of Lily, smiling and ... PLEASE Jules stop killing puppies ! make my imaginary video perfect ^^

    ReplyDelete
  80. That whole music video always plays in my head every time i listen to that song. :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. Who is the guy in the James picture?

    ReplyDelete
  82. It's Julian Morris(:

    ReplyDelete
  83. @10 09 I completely agree with you. I spent an hour having heart palpitations when Jules first put it up. Now, I literally swoon every time I see the picture.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I can so see James saying "Don't need my health
    Got my name and got my wealth" as a response to anyone who told him cigarettes would kill him

    ReplyDelete
  85. Jules, who is that you have on your tumblr as Remus? I feel really stupid asking this as I definitely know who it is, but my mind is drawing a complete blank.

    ReplyDelete
  86. 313 why don't you check the tag?

    ReplyDelete
  87. @3:17 Because it's not tagged, that's why.

    ReplyDelete
  88. 319 lol ok i see. i just went and checked and it's andrew garfield.

    ReplyDelete
  89. ^ er... at least i think it is. i'm like 96% sure.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Jules, I wanted to tell you that I started reading your story at the beginning of this year. I finally got caught up around the same time as your last update. It's absolutely amazing. I've read various stories, but I must say I'm only sticking to this one now. I've never been so anxious for a new chapter.
    I told a few of my friends/coworkers about it and one of them is currently reading. They are huge HP fans as well... it's hard not to be when you work at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. :)

    Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that it's a really good story. I'm completely hooked. Job well done.

    ReplyDelete
  91. YOU WORK AT THE WWOHP???? I am so jealous right now.

    -Sara

    ReplyDelete
  92. You work at the wizarding world of Harry freaking Potter?!?!?! I feel the jealousy coming on.

    @Anon 3:03 I thought the same thing when James said, "Don't need my health, Got my name and got my wealth"

    ReplyDelete
  93. The entire song fits James so perfectly.

    ReplyDelete
  94. @Megan I want your life.

    ReplyDelete
  95. hyperventilating... that would be my DREAM JOB

    ReplyDelete
  96. Oh my, feels just like I don't try
    Look so good I might die
    All I know is everybody loves me

    ^Does that sound like James, or what?

    ReplyDelete
  97. i can't believe you work there. holy crap. oh my god. this is real life.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Lol. Yes. It's so much fun! I get to sell wands, robes, scarves, etc.. all the time. It's definitely been an amazing experience. :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. You are so lucky, you have no idea. I want your job, so much.

    ReplyDelete
  100. @323 the picture of James is Julian Morris, not Andrew Garfield.

    ReplyDelete
  101. @507 I think they were referring to the pictures of remus on Jules' blog.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I am starting to get excited that the end of the month is Thursday. Jules, is it okay to be getting excited yet?

    ReplyDelete
  103. I like Julian (he's absolutely adorable) but I have a hard time imagining him being sullen/the jerk James is at the start of 6th year, I can only image him with a smirk on his face

    I think Alexander Gould could also be a good James

    here

    ReplyDelete
  104. @6:28 He looks like a 13 year old.

  105. Chubby- high fucking five! ^
    I saw this collage on Tumblr last night and it screamed James at me. http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhnu50WPpy1qafrbxo1_500.jpg

  106. Carlotta, you're such a quaffle. Everyone gets a toss threw the hoop.

    ReplyDelete
  107. A good James would be Gaspard Ulliel *drools* I just imagine him and Emma Stone (or Karen Gillan) together and the result is definetely a much better looking Harry Potter *more drools*

    ReplyDelete
  108. I think Steven R McQueen is a good James..
    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OuKIMUeA20M/TH4DnO_ipfI/AAAAAAAADvc/xYAYlW3yk2E/s1600/steven-r-mcqueen.jpg
    but only sometimes, cause sometimes he looks not so good.

    Basically any super attractive dark haired male with brown eyes (glasses not a necessity but a bonus) = James Potter.

    Chubby- my God that is perfect. His bone structure is perfect. And yes, I can't stop looking at that top row, especially the one on the right.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I like Gaspard Ulliel as James but I also like Julian. /torn.
    And I found this pic on tumblr and he just reminded me of James. The hair, the glasses and the shirt... it's so him.

  128. LOL@ chubbypotato 858

    I LOVELOVELOVE Karen Gillan... but I've always seen her as Ginny. Mainly because Amy Pond is kinda slutty lol. NOT that I actually think Ginny was a slut or anything; after all she settled down with only her third ever boyfriend; but because she was always seen sucking someone-or-other's face in HBP, I can't help but think that, even though I know she actually wasn't... it's just one of those things.

    I think I came across Elena Satine (here and here) on this blog? She might just be the most most gorgeous redhead on the planet... definitely the prettiest one I've ever seen. But I can't really imagine her as LaT's Lily because... Idk she's a bit too sophisticated and glamourous for LaT Lily. And even too beautiful, because Carlotta is meant to be prettier than Lily, but I can't possible imagine anyone possibly being described as prettier than Elena Satine, not even Odette Yustman comes close. But in general, I think I've come to see Elene Satine as Lily.

    For James... there's no-one really, 'cos I have something really specific in my head. The closest thing is Gaspard Ulliel.

    But this Kevin Flamme guy is totally fit too. Who is he? I don't think I've ever seen him before?

    This conversation has happened so many times lol but I totally get into it every time :)

    ReplyDelete
  129. Okay, re-read my post... it sounds like I'm a Ginny-hater, which I'm totally not. I really liked her, even though I think the H/G romance wasn't very well written (that's pretty much the only place where I was disappointed in the books). But I don't hate Ginny, I think she was great, and I liked the fact that she didn't sit around waiting for Harry to notice her and everything, cos that would have been lame. But because she was pretty much always either snogging someone (and she did jump between boyfriends rather quickly) or arguing with someone, I just think Ginny is closer to Amy Pond than Lily.

    And slightly random: does anyone here read Petal in the Rain? If you click on the website the author made for Petal in the Rain, she's got pictures (and songs, biographies etc) of all her characters in there. And she used Gaspard Ulliel for Snape. GASPARD ULLIEL AS SNAPE!!! I mean... what the fuck?

  130. 1118 - Okay, I just really need to say this: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Gaspard Ulliel as Snape? I mean, it just amazes me how much imagination some people have... I would like to hear her explanation of how Snape went from looking like Gaspard in his youth to looking like he does in the movies.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Oh yeahhh I think I remember Elena Satine being mentioned before on this blog... I usually imagine whoever I'm told to imagine, in this case Christiana Capatundi (can't be bothered to go back and check the spelling), but I do think Elena Satine is prettier than her. By quite a lot actually. She is exceptionally beautiful, and I agree, maybe a bit *too* beautiful for LaTLily.

    I like Karen both for Ginny and Lily, cos they're both used for her all over tumblr, so I don't let that bother me. (Um, I haven't ever actually watched Doctor Who... kinda shameful, right?)

    I think *I* may have first heard of this guy on this blog- Jesus Navas for Sirius? I youtubed him as well, and he's even hotter in live action.

  132. HEY! Do not diss how Snape looks in the movies!! I fucking love Alan Rickman <33

    And shut up, potato, no one wants to hear your probably accurate and well-precedented thoughts on my updating habits =P

  134. LOL Jules. But the author f Petal in the Rain isn't actually a fangirl... at least I don't think so, as she writes Lily/James. That's what surprised me so much. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a Snape fangirl, but she's not.

    But seriously 1138-you don't think Alan Rickman's ugly do you? I actually like Snape (NOT love, just like) but I think that's solely down to Alan Rickamn being so wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Lol, I don't think you have to think Alan Rickman is "ugly" to say that he's.... different than one imagines an aged Gaspard.

  136. So, I recommended LaT at the end of one of my ffnet stories because, well, duh, and someone reviewed saying, "yeah, I don't really like LaT because of the characters."

    WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?

    HOW DO YOU NOT LIKE THE CHARACTERS?!?!? I MEAN, I CAN SEE NOT LIKING ONE OR TWO, JUST B/C YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE, BUT ALL OF THEM?????

    haha, sorry for leaving the caps lock on, just had to rant a bit ;)

    (She left me a really nice review, too, and I feel that my story is not worthy of being liked by this person at the expense of the amazingness that is Life and Times....)

  137. (Sorry, I totally interrupted the thread....carry on)

  138. Kelsey-some people are weird. I think she must have not given it enought of a chance. To be honest in the beginning I wasn't really all that interested in the OCs and I was all like "Dude, siriusly, is this a Lily/James story or not?!" at times, but the OCs really started growing on me more and more, until it's gotten to the point now where I love/am more interested in the OCs more than James lol.

    @Gaspard=Snape-lol yes! I read that story and went on the website, I was totally shocked to see that too, and was really, really confused as to why the people commenting weren't more like "Gaspard?!!! You bitch, GTFO!!" Lol, but I'm glad someone else has noticed and hates it too lol.

    I like this Elena Satine person. But I also like Karen Gillan. And I suppose Christiana Capotondi is ok too. I'm easily pleased like that :)

    ReplyDelete
  139. Siriusly? People are hating on Jules' characters? Um... how? Lily has to have friends after all, and I find it annoying when they're all the female first Order members from that photograph, 'cos how likely is it that Dumbledore recruited just kids? So it doesn't bother me if Lily's friends are all/mostly OCs. Only if they're MarySues which they are so so sooooo not. They're the unMarySuest OCs I've ever read in a fanfic.

    The only OC I don't like is Adam. I find him boring. And well, also Luke/Shelley/Carlotta etc too, but they're meant to be the characters you love to hate, right? But still, they are still wonderful and realistic, and the rest are all unbelieavably awesome.

    Reread from the beginning recently. Chapter 4: Lathe's entry and Donna's kickassery. How is it possible to dislike these characters?!!!

    Which kind of brings me to this question: you mentioned in your ANs once that you intended on getting a romance story for Donna. Did you mean Lathe or Charlie Plex? did you have Donna/Plex or Donna/Lathe planned from the beginning, and which did you decide to add in?

    (Not going to even comment on the Gaspard!James,cos that's just... no.)

  140. Anon 11:11 - Kevin Flamme is a French model. Pretty, ain't he?

    LOL @ Kanye shrug

    ReplyDelete
  141. *SIGH* Gaspard is french too. Why do they have the hottest guys? Wish they lived nearer to me. Then I could stalk them easier.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Gaspard is my James. But sometimes when he looks more rugged and kinda unkept (like this ) then he looks more like Sirius; and he has light eyes too, which is more Sirius than James. But not Snape, never ever Snape.

    I have to go send abuse to the author of Petal in the Rain now for besmirching the name of my fair Gaspard. Excuse me.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Gaspard is pretty close to how I imagine James,

    How could anyone not like Jules' characters? I love them! Okay, well, maybe except for Luke, but y'know. I'm almost just as interested in the OCs(in LAT) as I am in L/J.

    ReplyDelete
  144. OMG I knew I recognised the name Elena Satine somehwere! After a very little bit of googling-apparently she's being considered (and is favourite) for the role of MaryJane in the SpiderMan reboot. SOOOO we might see Elena Satine-who, it seems, is a possible Lily- with Andrew Garfield, who some people see as James :) Pretty cool, I think.

  145. chubbypotato--who is your Sirius? I don't recognise the guy in the pic you posted circa 9:23am 28/3

  146. jenn, the link takes me to this salmon coloured poster called "final call on fall". i don't think you can directly link the pages you're trying to show us..

  147. LOL. The above conversation has been had sooo many times here. :)

    ReplyDelete
  148. Off topic but...

    That awkward moment when you try to vote in a poll for the character you hate the most in the Harry Potter series and you look for Carlotta's name...

    ReplyDelete
  149. LOL, no, I absolutely LOVE Alan Rickman. He's wonderful, as a person and actor. And I've read some of his interviews, and he's damn funny as well!
    But, let's get sirius here. There's no comparison between him and Gaspard. Honestly. I'm not saying that he's ugly, I mean that in the movies they have to make him look like Snape, and I don't particularly imagine him as a greek god (like Gaspard truly is.. and Kevin Flamme too).
    I'm anon 1138 btw.

    Aaaand, going to the "haters gonna hate" topic, I wasn't that interested in the first chapters of LAT, really. But I think that when I got to chapter 3, I was definitely hooked. That fight in the beginning of 6th year was EPIC.

  150. @309: Good thing you decided to keep reading. :)

  151. kay, while i am absolutely appalled at the suggestion i dont think anybody's representation of a character necessarily has to correspond to the one in the movie

    ReplyDelete
  152. @Chubby: blargggg. Oh well. If you're really desperate and want to see them just send me your email address in my ask box on tumblr (mycirclesarecubes.tumblr.com) If not, I shall be the only one to enjoy her haha!

  153. ^^....suggestion i dont think...

  155. Kelsey - what story do you write?

    ReplyDelete
  156. This update wait is torturing me, so I'm rereading. (:

    ReplyDelete
  157. Did everybody here about Friday? Rebecca Black didn't write it.

    ReplyDelete
  158. I refuse to listen to it. She's thirteen, and her parents paid $2000 for her to get a deal, she didn't get signed off talent, they bribed the company.

    ReplyDelete
  159. $2000? That's it? Woah. Considering how much she's probably making off of itunes sales, that's a pretty good deal.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I'm not sure how much it was, but that's what a couple of my friends told me.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Friday. It's a terrible song, I realize, but I think it's REALLY funny. And catchy. It's just kinda fun to sing along to it and dance to it lol

  162. I'm disappointed in us...Carlotta's whore-ishness and non-spoilers both got well over 200 comments, yet we can't get it up for JAMES POTTER'S birthday celebration post....not to mention, excepts and a bad-ass song...

    ReplyDelete
  163. James is a certified BAMF he doesn't need 200 comments for people to know the truth. =]

    but i bet slowly it will reach the 200 mark

  165. Off topic but I wanted to address this with Harry potter fans:

    Why would someone put a "Republicans for Voldemort" bumper sticker on their car? Someone has one their car in the parking lot of my work and I can't quite figure it out.
    Is it a democrat or independent mocking the republican "evil empire" reputation? Is it a sarcastic republican's response to said reputation? Is it a republican who really loves Voldemort?

    Thoughts anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  166. SO funny because I saw a Palin/Voldemort 2012 bumper sticker today!!
    I lol'd.

    ReplyDelete
  167. My guess is it's a shot at Republicans...and (s)he probably thinks they're really clever too...

    ReplyDelete
  168. I figured Palin/Umbridge would get along really well together

    ReplyDelete
  169. yeah definitely a shot at republicans. probably some of the same people who say bush was a dictator.

  170. Anon 4:17--I've written a few stories, but "Resolution" was the one with the review about LaT. (I'm Weasley Wannabee on ffnet, btw)

    ReplyDelete
  171. O I really liked Seventh Time's the Charm! (I don't review - it's actual rather out of character for me to even post on this blog)

    Does anyone think he could be James (with darker hair)? I went to high school with him and had forgotten about him, but now all I can remember is his shit-eating-just-try-to-catch me grin

  172. I mostly agree with Alison Sudol for Lily.
    here's a good one, just ignore the ridiculous thing on her head:

    "Carlotta's smile was just about perfect; Lily's had more humor in it"

    ...and one more for kicks.

  173. Yay, another Alison fan! She has that spunky, intelligent vibe going on. She just seems really genuine, much like Lily.

  176. Hi! I know this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog such as yours take
    a lot of work? I am brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
    I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
