Confessions of a Potterhead.

Bonjour! I'm super happy today because I found a copy of the Busted CD that I used to have before they split up, that I so desperately wanted back! even better, I bought it for £1.25 in a charity shop, rather than spending £8.99 on iTunes!  I had a bit of a fangirl in the middle of the shop and then I couldn't stop smiling afterwards-very nerdy! I thought it might be scratched but I put it on to my iPod straight away and it works fine!

I had a bit of a DVD marathon yesterday, I watched Black Swan (thankfully whilst my mum was out) and then Bridesmaids in the afternoon. Black Swan was absolutely brilliant, especially the ending, and I loved it despite the terribly crap quality of my laptop! Bridesmaids has some really hilarious parts but I'd have found it funnier if I could hear it over the sound of the tumble dryer and my sister wondering in and out of the room! The dress fitting scene was the best:)

Also I swear I will move to London when I'm 18, I want a place at Queen Mary University of London because they do the degree course I want and it looks amazing! I know it's ridiculously expensive but I'll manage as I'm good at finding bargains!

Pottermore is open for all now, but I was lucky enough to get in last year. I have to say I was quite disappointed with the whole thing to be honest, but I'll tell you the story of my experience.

It was in the holidays and I couldn't get to sleep so I thought bugger it, I'll stay up and try to get in. So there I was until two am, checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if there was a clue. I went to sleep until six am and checked my phone, still no clue. It got to 10 am and I checked my laptop just in case- finally there was a clue! I frantically flicked through my old battered copy of the Chamber of Secrets, praying the answer wasn't on one of the missing pages, until I found the answer and entered it. Then I was directed to this website that had pictures from the films. I'll admit, pure adrenaline was pumping through me at this point, it was pretty exciting stuff! I was panicking until I realised that I had to click on the 'magical quill' and that would take me to Pottermore! I was given a choice of five names, so I picked ChaserDream74 and started to explore the first book. The best parts were getting your wand and being put in a house, although I can't remember what my wand is like and Hufflepuff was the last house I wanted to be in. So I finished the first book and that was it. I discovered I couldn't make potions for the life in me and there was nothing much else to do. I hope they'll open Chamber of Secrets soon, but I won't get all fangirly about it even though it is one of the best books in the series and I love the plot.

So that was my Pottermore experience, and this is probably the longest blog post ever! Thank you again if you've read any of my posts, you're the best!!
