There are many, many reasons to 爱情 Hermione Granger. She is a wonderfully written character and a great role model. However, lately I've been seeing a lot of people say things to the extent of "i 爱情 hermione because she's sooooo pretty!!!!! she's the most beautiful girl in hogwarts and i 爱情 her!!!!!" It seems harmless, and it probably is. But I have a problem with it.

People tend to obsess over her appearances, when Hermione herself would probably scoff at such things. Hermione was never one to care all that much about physical appearances; she was far 更多 concerned over 更多 important things, such as defeating Voldemort, getting good grades, freeing the house elves, and, of course, being in 爱情 with Ron. Of course, she cared a little bit about her appearances, but not to a superficial extent. She's not shallow.

Hermione is so much 更多 than just a pretty girl. The most important trait is not her physical appearances, but her intelligence. She is extremely logical, book smart, and clever. She can be a bit of a know-it-all at times, but she is extremely caring, brave, and good hearted. She is tough; she fights for her friends, and she fights for what is right, even when she stands alone. She is the one who will do the right thing, 或者 the smart thing, even when everyone else becomes annoyed at her for it. She is the one who keeps her 老友记 up to 日期 on what is going on, who organizes and plans for important things, who motivates them to never give up and to always keep trying. So why do so many refer to her as "the pretty girl"? I think it's because (a) Emma Watson just so happens to be absolutely gorgeous, and (b) she is a girl. People don't refer to either Harry 或者 Ron as "the hot guy". They may also be oversimplified (Harry being "the 《勇敢传说》 one" and Ron being "the funny one", although I already wrote an 文章 about Ron's reputation), at least they are referred to 由 personality traits. Hermione isn't. Yes, people think of her as smart, but she is 更多 often referred to as "the pretty one," 或者 "the beautiful one." And yes, Emma Watson is gorgeous. But if 你 notice, people tend to be extremely concerned about how a girl physically appears, even though it's not really so important. Although people generally mean well, I think it's really downgrading to say "i 爱情 hermione because she's so pretty."

Another note: Hermione is NOT supposed to be super gorgeous. Yes, her appearances do get better as the 图书 go on. But she was never super model gorgeous. People say that because, as I 说 before, Emma Watson happens to be super model gorgeous. But Hermione, for the first three and a half books, had bushy hair and buck teeth. And, yes, she got better looking. But she was never super amazingly gorgeous. The only time she was supposed to be super amazingly gorgeous was during the Yule Ball. That's it. People say she's the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts. This may be true in the films, but not in the books. No, in the books, the most beautiful girls were Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley, except during Goblet of Fire, where it was Fleur Delacour (she's half Veela!). Why isn't Hermione super gorgeous? Because what makes Hermione so wonderful isn't her looks, it's her personality. Sadly, people seem to have forgotten about this.

So please, pay 更多 attention to Hermione's personality, and not the fact that Emma Watson is gorgeous. It's really insulting to Hermione. Hermione is too awesome for such shallowness XD

(Note: I did NOT draw this picture of Hermione. This I found on Deviantart, made 由 GreenifyME. I take no credit. I just think that this is how Hermione is supposed to look ^_^)

I will miss Richard Griffiths very greatly. He was a fantastic actor and a great loss. He did an awesome job bringing Vernon Dursley to life the way he did.

Sometimes his true warmth peeked through, as in that one neat scene in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone where he is talking about Sundays being a ‘fine day’ and asks why that is; Harry Melling’s Dudley shrugs his shoulders. Daniel’s Harry asks him if the reason was because there was no post on Sundays, and Richard momentarily dropped the Vernon persona and beamed warmly at him, replying with “Right 你 are, Harry”...

I am not biased in this I 爱情 them both.
Its going to be hard to compare the two greatest 图书 and movie series ever made. Although I will try anyway!
MOVIES
1. Grossing- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made 1.328 Billion Dollars. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King made 1.119 Billion Dollars. Potter wins this round!
2. Scenes- Harry Potter had really great scenes. Such as the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the OotP 或者 the Battle of Hogwarts in the DH. LotR also has great scenes such as the battle of Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields, and when Frodo throws in the ring. I think...

I was 阅读 DH again, and I came across something rather odd. This something is the image of Grindelwald stealing the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch. That scene set my mind whirring. I just had to write down whaat was going on inside my mind. Please keep in mind that this is a major DH spoiler, as well as very convoluted. If 你 find yourself very confused after 阅读 this, put down this 文章 and take a nap. It'll make 更多 sense when 你 wake up.
Now, on to the first Wild and Crazy Theory.

Gregorovitch had the Elder Wand, as he was trying to duplicate it for his customers, but it was later...

Scorpius POV
The Sorting had just ended, and I spotted Rose making her way across the Great Hall to the Slytherin table. "Move over, Albus, make room!" she ordered upon arrival. She squeezed in between Albus and myself, as many people stared.Rose being a Gryffindor, many were shocked that she would sit at our table. "So, how are your new students? That one girl we got, Lacey I think, is really smart. But she's kinda mean." Rose ranted. She always had something to say, and I had no idea how she managed to keep quiet in class. I informed her that at least 3 of the kids we had got were going to...

牛油, 黄油 "Beer" recipe from Harry Potter I made it myself. Its sorta like hot 浓情巧克力 but without chocolate. 你 take 1 或者 if for two people 2 cups of 牛奶 put it on the stove keep it from boiling. 你 just want it hot but 你 dont want it to really boil. Ok add a cup of 奶油, 奶油糖果 schnapps. Then a splash of vanilla extract. A half of cup of sugar. Then a couple of spoon fulls of vanilla flavor coffee creamer. add a little yellow 食物 coloring. And a tsp of butter. Then 最佳, 返回页首 with WHipped cream!!

Chapter 4
He stood near the door, not with the usual pig-headed arrogance he usually possessed but with a sort of quiet confidence, not quite making eye contact but refusing to look at the ground. 由 this time the rest of the class was sat down, it was the smallest class, only having fifteen students so naturally it was...

First of all, let me point out that it is 由 no means an attempt to justify 或者 excuse Dark Lord’s actions, merely an attempt to understand them and his motives. It is also strongly influenced 由 existentialism and my slightly fatalistic mood.

Following Sartre’s “Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices” it’s easy to say that the Dark Lord “ made all the wrong choices" i.e. he could have been a Minister for Magic, an ingenious inventor 或者 a celebrity, but chose, and therefor became, the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time. True, it is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and perhaps...

In the beginning

The starting point for each of the house crests was the Hogwarts crest, which first appeared on the 标题 pages of the Harry Potter books, and represents all four Hogwarts houses. This original artwork and J.K. Rowling’s descriptions of the houses were used to inspire four unique house emblems for Pottermore.


The process

The artists started 由 talking about the best way to include the natural elements of fire, earth, water and air into each house; what the best positions and expressions for the 动物 would be; and the most effective way to include the house colours in the...

The last track of the CD ended. I sat straight up before I started to put away all my things as quick as I possibly could. I had been sitting there far too long. I had forgotten about the time and now I was late for dinner. I carefully closed the wardrobe before I rushed out of my room and down the stairs. Though midway down I stopped dead, and ran upwards again. I had to change clothes. Into my room again. Open the wardrobe and pull out a clean shirt, clean trousers and clean robes. I pulled off my old clothes and hurriedly put on the new ones. I pulled on my robes as I ran down the stairs...
