I swear, Pottermore is just an extension of what I did for most of my life with regards to Harry Potter: wait for the next installment.
I’m Magical! At Last!
AT LAST! I always knew I was a witch. Now I’m just waiting for my Hogwarts letter (15 years too late, but hey, better late than never)…
When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, “After all this time?” And I will say, “Always.”Alan Rickman
Oh god. I think my heart just got ripped out of my chest. Thursday night, come midnight, I shall be watching the last Harry Potter film with Psychic Roommate, my friend Jen, and White-Harp, and will possibly be flailing and sobbing like a mad Muppet. Remind me to bring a huge box of tissues to [...]
Pottermore!
I sincerely thought I had left my obsessive fangirl tendencies behind me, but who are we kidding? I probably never will grow out of my obsessive fangirl tendencies, especially when it comes to the book series that defined my life. (Quite literally. I started reading about Harry’s adventures when I was 12. I’m almost 26 [...]
Literary Crushes: Part IV
How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was super, thanks for asking. I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and ran a 4 mile race with the best pace time I’ve had in 7 months. So I am uncharacteristically cheerful on this Monday morning, and what better way to continue in this happy vein [...]
Blogging Is Hard!
You know what I’ve discovered? Blogging is hard! I never thought blogging was hard before, but that might have had to do with the fact that I spent most of 2009 unemployed and my previous jobs were so dull I blogged about everything else instead. I’m in a bit of a nostalgic mood. Another teaser [...]
Coffee, Chocolate, and Cream

In case you missed the previous posts: Race in Fiction Week I’m Korean and I’m Okay Representing Race in Fiction Today I want to tackle how to describe race in fiction. There are many schools of thought about [...]
Lifelong Dork
Attending midnight viewings makes one feel suspiciously hungover the next morning, even when there was no alcohol involved. How is that possible? Is it because I’m old now? I am 24 years old after all. Last night, Wicked Cool Riley, her friend Chris, and I attended a midnight showing of Harry Potter & The Half-Blood [...]
While We’re on the Subject of Nearly Naked Dan
The world pervs along with me, according to this article by CNN. Also, who writes their godawful headlines? ‘Potter’ star Radcliffe stirs storm with naked pics Seriously, who? Edited to add: THE RELEASE DATE FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (band name? Seriously? Any takers?) IS OUT. JULY 21ST, 2007. OH EM EFF GEE.
The End
It was a long, torturous night. I clasped my precious book to my chest and furtively slipped my eyes over its pages while the hum of interviews, Sabado Gigante, and one very cute Hollywood Bowl events coordinator milled all about me. I was hooked from the very first page. And it was sheer agony. I [...]
