The Parsley Broomstick Edition # 8

THE PARSLEY BROOMSTICK


We may know it or we may very well ignore it..
Harry Potter is going to end this July which is, just by the way, IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
No matter if you react like me and this rabbit over here >>>>
Or you just simply deny the fact that your childhood is going to end.. You can almost feel the rest of your childhood ticking away and fading into the darkness of a Potterless world.
Although, J.K Rowling and many more fansites, are doing their best to keep Potter alive for eternity with Pottermore and a lot of different interactive websites, (Hexrpg, TheParslemouths), it seems that the studios have already moved on. They're looking for the next Harry Potter and Twilight Saga.  And now dear reader you are...


  • That nerd that's writing a book and want it to be the next Harry Potter.
  • Or that random dude that has no idea about anything.
  • OR you just watch the movies and don't give a shit.
I, for example, am having a nervous emotional breakdown.
Pffft. "All was well" Yeah right. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW!? HMMM?
Our tips to help HP live ON :

  1. Start your own RP crew, fansite or blog about Harry Potter.
  2. Fanfics and Fan drawings are also a very good way to draw attention to the Chosen One.
  3. Just annoy the whole world with your obsessed Pottertalk.
  4. Join interactive websites and Facebook pages about YOUR favorite books and movies. 
  5. Re-read the books until you drop dead.
  6. Force your younger cousins or your children to read Harry Potter. Be disappointed if they don't like it.
And let us all hope that Harry will have a VERY LONG very happy life.

We also know that you may tend to be a little depressed at the end of your childhood's best memories. 
So here are a couple of things to cheer you up:
  • Watching Disney Movies.
  • The Book Of Awesome (1000awesomethings.com)
  • The Secret series (The Secret of Teen Power, The Secret of Love.)
  • Lots of Junk Food while watching Harry Potter.
  • Finding a new addiction. (Although we all know that  nothing can top Harry Potter.
  • Fighting a Twi-hard. Yes. It helps.
  • And many many more!
Honor the Potter and live like an Otter. 
Failwhale crushes my head with shame..

The Parsley Broomstick Edition # 7

OHAIDER :D
Well,It basically means 'Oh,Hi there!'
Anyway...Let's start straight away!

Hermione Granger (Emma Watson)
THREE NEW POSTERS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe)
I think the posters are really good. They capture the expression of each character rather well. If you look at Hermione,she's looking ahead at the dangers. She's brave at that moment but rather worried about what will happen to the others. She's trying to get herself cool and calm to continue this fight,knowing it'll turn out right in the end. (And she gets it right! Well..mostly..)
Ron has a grim expression since he already knows his brother Fred has died. He wants revenge (NOW!) but he's trying to remain composed. He looks like he's about to give it up but also at the same time trying to move forward.
Harry...Well Harry now knows that he has to give himself up to Voldemort if he needs to make everything alright. He's blaming himself for the deaths and he knows whose side Severus is on now. He's going towards the Shrieking Shack,ready to give himself up for death.



Ronald Weasley (Rupert Grint)


The background is also pretty good. The red shows the signs of the battle and the greenish gloom shows the darkness around. Also the way they position their wands can tell a lot. Ron's wand is a bit slack on his side showing that he's tired of this fight but wants revenge..Or he's trying to use the best of his mind to devise a good plan (Which would be a first..I kid..We love you Ron! )
Hermione's wand is held up firmly at her side. She's ready to go on and  fight. She looks confident but worried. (About the others,of course. Hermione's a rather selfless person)
Harry..OH MY DO MY EYES DECIEVE ME? I JUST NOTICED HE'S CARRYING 2 WANDS!
Does that mean he's coming back from the fight with Voldy? And he's got the Elder Wand?
OHMYGAWD! WHY DID I NOT NOTICE THIS BEFORE?
Ah well..My huge post above went to waste then. But I'm still keeping it in the newspaper since I took some time to write it. (I know it's small..But it seems rather large when you're trying to keep up with your Homework at the same time)
Feel loved people,that instead of doing my urgent homework I'm sitting and making a newspaper for all you awesome people :)

Well,have you guys seen AVPM yet? Since I'm putting some pictures down there :D
I feel for you Ginny :)
HOW TRUE! :D
Get your facts right Ced. And stop smiling like a fool. OK,I do agree they ARE particularly good finders.
One Rocketship on your way..Still trying to persuade Miss Granger.
Real humble Harry. Way to go.
Now THAT is a supermegafoxyawesomehot pic of Voldy :D
Now three....
     

Okay...So we all know that Harry Potter actors rock,don't we? Well..I have to say fan art pics are also rather good! I'll be posting some pics of my favorite couple (Well...Not really couple) Severus and Lily :)
NOTE: SPOILER WARNING! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ALL THE BOOKS DON'T CONTINUE :D

This is really beautiful :D
Lily's really pretty :) I like the light effect in this picture.
I think this is really cute :)
 Well,three pictures are enough for now!

Anyway...Today which is 28th June (In my time at least :P) Is the birthday of..well Jo's sister,Dianne! Dianne was born today to Peter and Anne Rowling.

Dianne or rather Di as she is called was the first to hear Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.
Di :)

Well..I guess that's it for today D:
I know it's more pictures than words but I really need to finish my homework which lying menacingly on the table beyond me.
So I'm wrapping up!
Your Admin,Lily.

The Parsley Broomstick #6

Hullo Fellow Potterheads! I hope you've all signed up for Pottermore. Jo Rowling deserves a seat in the Palace.
Anyway,I've got a bunch of Harry Potter facts for you guys. Hope you like them!
1)A magical quill detects the birth of every magical child and records it in a book and Professor McGonagall sends an owl to each child when he or she turns eleven
2)For Hagrid, keeping dangerous creatures is all about overcoming something that could kill him.
3)To remove the tail that Hagrid gave Dudley in the hut on the rock, the Dursleys went to a private hospital where the staff was very discreet, and said that a wart had gone out of control.
4)A few of the Hogwarts professors have spouses, but that information is restricted for reasons we will find out about later.
5)The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.
6)James Potter was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (although the movie claimed he was a Seeker).
7)Nancy Stouffer, the author of The Legend of Rah and the Muggles and Harry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly. sued Rowling because she said Rowling’s books were based on her ideas. Stouffer lost her case in 2002 and was fined for making her claim with forged documents. No other author has claimed that Rowling stole an idea.
8)An outbreak of lice among the children cast members occurred while filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
9)Rowling said that when she took an online Sorting Hat quiz, it sorted her into Hufflepuff, one of the four houses of Hogwarts.
10)So many fans visit King’s Cross station to take pictures of platforms 9 and 10 that the station management erected a sign that says “Platform 9 ¾” which, in the Potter books, is invisible to Muggles but acts as a gateway for witches and wizards.
11)When Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released in Great Britain, the publisher asked stores not to sell the book until schools were closed for the day to prevent truancy
12)Rowling is the first person to become a billionaire (U.S. dollars) by writing books.
13)When Fred and George Weasley bewitched snowballs to bounce off the back of Professor Quirrell's turban in the winter of the 1991–1992 school year, they were unknowingly hitting Voldemort in the face
14)All 700 Quidditch Fouls were committed at the 1473 Quidditch World Cup
15)Hermione's middle name was changed from Jane to Jean to avoid the same middle name as Umbridge.
16)Jo was originally going to kill Arthur Weasley, but decided to kill Remus and Tonks instead. She cried when she decided.
17)James Sirius Potter, Harry and Ginny's son oldest son, stole the Maruader's map from Harry's desk. It can be assumed he figured out how to work it
18)Ginny played Seeker for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-girl Quidditch team she had posters of all over her walls at the Burrow, for several years before retiring to raise a family with Harry.
19)13, which is considered an unlucky number, is the amount of years between Remus and Tonks' ages.
20)The first person to hear Harry's story was Jo's sister, Dianne.

There,20 facts!
Now lets have a look at upcoming birthdays :
27th June : Matthew Lewis,actor who plays Neville Longbottom is born. (1989)
27th June : Dobby the house elf is born. (Year unknown)
28th June : Dianne Rowling,sister to Jo Rowling is born. (1967)
30th June : Predrag Bjelac, the actor who played Igor Karkaroff in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is born.(1962)
30th June : Dr. Neil Michael Murray, J. K. Rowling's second husband, is born.(1971)
Well,That's it for June! But we know next month that Jo Rowlings,and of course Harry Potters birthday is coming up. :D

Hope you have a nice day!
Your Admin,Lily.

Pottermore

I'm  in tears. I'm crying.

The Parsley Broomstick: Edition #5

THE PARSLEY BROOMSTICK


With only one hour to go to the Pottermore announcement we've all been waiting for, excitement fills the air.
I, personally, woke up extra early. Which means one should not annoy me right now. But well it's worth it.

WHAT WILL IT BE?

I'm not going to talk about Pottermore too much now, my colleagues have covered that topic already!
I wanted to welcome you in the world of A VERY POTTER MUSICAL!



Here is the first part of the first act! A must-see for every Potterfan!
As you may know, Darren Criss, the Glee star, plays Harry Potter in that musical. And I greatly suspect that it is one main key to his success.
Of course the other stars of our favorite musical  have grown a great fandom that supports them!

Here a short list of a few actors/actresses:

  • Lauren Lopez
  • Joe Walker
  • Joe Moses
  • Joey Richter
  • Nick Lang
  • Matt Lang
  • Bonnie Gruesen
  • And many many more!
Starkid, the team that made AVPM, made a row of other plays for you to watch on YouTube.
Like MAMD (Me and My Dick), AVPS (A Very Potter Sequel) and Starship! :D


Laughing (and cute guys) guaranteed!


Your AdminCho. :)

The new Harry Potter Tv SPOTS!

The Parsley Broomstick #4

Howdy Mates! Hope you're having an awesome day 'cuz I sure am :D
So,Let's get straight to the point. POTTERMORE!
In case you didn't know what Pottermore is...Well,I hate to admit it but we actually don't know what it is..All we know that Jo Rowling has her hand in it so it's sure to be awesome. The Official Countdown for Jo Rowlings announcement of Pottermore can be found on Youtube. Since I can't post pages of people's Youtube,I can't give a direct Video but here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/jkrowlingannounces/

Only 1 day and 15 Minutes!
It's supposed to be released online..We suspect it's some sort of Harry Potter site where fans can interact and play games and such. But the deal is,IT'S THE OFFICIAL ROLEPLAY SITE.
Well,we aren't so sure yet so don't get all worked up.

Anyway,there are some sites where you CAN interact with other fans and..such. We've found a site where you can actually go to Hogwarts online. Just sign up and you can go for classes,Quidditch Matches etc.
It's called HexRPG. Here's the link so you can check it out.
http://www.hexrpg.com/

Have you guys heard about Wizard Wrock? I know a lot of people who don't know about Wizard Wrock..It's like Harry Potter music. Can you believe how EPIC that is?
Some really good songs I suggest you check out are :
I believe in Nargles by The Whomping Willow
Gryffindor Rally Cry by Ministry of Magic
Potions Yesterday by Dracos and the Malfoys
My Dad is Rich by Dracos and the Malfoys
Of course there a WHOLE LOT of songs you can check out :)

Speaking of Wizard Wrock..Music reminds of AVPM/S or A Very Potter Musical or A Very Potter Sequel.
Of course AVPM comes first.
AVPM is basically this epic musical for Harry Potter. It's funny,interesting,silly,mindblowing and of course....THE MOST EPIC THING IN THIS WORLD. After Chocolate and Harry Potter,that is.
Watching this you'll have a whole new feeling for Red Vines and Hersheys..But of course I'm not letting out any spoilers ;)
You can find it on Youtube.
The main actor,Who plays Harry Potter is NONE OTHER THAN..*Dun Dun Dun* DARREN CRISS FROM GLEE!
Yeah,Well he started out with AVPM/S before moving on to bigger things like Glee :)
Watching the Musical will make you want to go to Mars..And go to school on Pigfa*Claps hand over mouth*
Oh dear,I musn't say anything just now should I?

Anyway,I've found out it's better to remain Italian Parsley rather than normal Parsley ;D
Of course you guys must pay NO attention to Parsley so here are some facts :The Binomial Name of Parsley is Petroselinum crispum












































Sorry for boring you with this highly Biology style topic :D
Yes,I copied and pasted the Nutritional Value chart from Wikipedia :P

Well,That's it for this edition of Parsley Broomstick..Hope you enjoyed it!

The Parsley Broomstick: Edition #3

THE PARSLEY BROOMSTICK                                                                          6/21/2011

No matter if you're relaxing like this kitty:
Funny Pictures - Cat Gifs

Or working on your figure like this motherfucker:
Funny Pictures - Cat Gifs

Or just.. ughh.. going to sleep:

Pillow pins kitten. Lawk.

Summer sure is in the air!
We all may have different ways to show it, but we all feel it. That wonderful smell  of freedom.
So what you do in your summer is up to you.. But here are some suggestions from our team:

1)Visit the Harry Potter theme park!

Come on! What can be cooler than a Harry Potter vacation? Buy a time turner, drink a Butterbeer and get a new wand! The perfect time to relax for every Harry Potter fan!

2) Re-read your favorite books! 
If you're not going to go abroad this year, don't be sad! There's plenty of stuff to do at home! 
One of which is of course READING. Reading is not only good for you, it also sucks you into a world of imagination. No matter if it's Twilight.. *sigh* or Harry Potter *CHEERS* it sure makes misery easier to live with!  Here is a short list of books you should read this summer:

  1. The House of Night series.                                                                                                                                                                 Yes, it is about vampires, but bear with me here! The vampires in this book are completely different than those in Twilight. So what are you waiting for? Make friends with Zoey Redbird, a vampire High Priestess in training, kick asses, and get the man of your dreams. *WARNING: Seriously hot guys involved.*
  2. The Immortal series.
  3. The Hunger Games.
  4. The Vampire Diaries.
  5. The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. (You may bawl your eyes out)
And many many more! :)

3) Movie Marathon with your best buds.
Do I even have to explain the epicness of that?

4) Study your school books.
Yeah well. That's for nerds.

5) Learn things you always wanted to learn!
For example: How to whistle, How to do a cartwheel how to hold your breath under water for a minute... I bet you can think of way more things than I can!

To see the whole post....

The Parsley Broomstick: Edition #2

THE PARSLEY BROOMSTICK                                                                   6/19/2011


Tom Felton Actor Tom Felton attends the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" premiere at Ziegfeld Theatre on July 9, 2009 in New York City.

No matter how old. No matter what the hair color is, Harry Potter fans sure have a weird way to chose their crushes when it comes to the Harry Potter cast.
Unlike other movies, where you can only choose between a pale squirrel-like actor and a muscular tanned ferrets, the Harry Potter movies offer a big variety of different types of men. So if you don't find at least one of them appealing, and you're a lady, let me assure you: You're not straight.
Although the actor who plays Voldemort, Ralph Fiennes (48), is pretty handsome himself, he seems not to be too popular among the ladies. But that can easily be because we always see him as the pale, snake-like Muggle-hater.  


And as for female actresses in our favorite movies, I do think male DA members got pretty lucky with the cast.
From Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson (21), Cho Chang ( Katie Leung, 23 ), Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright, 20 ) to Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch, 19), everything is there.  

So now it all  comes down to this, doesn't it?
Does that mind of yours know which one to choose? Because if it does, there is nothing stopping you from stalking anymore.
(Harry Potter pun intended.) 

I don't know about you, but Rupert Grint is the #1 for me!
Or Darren Criss.
Criss is GOOD.

-Cho

Welcome Message from AdminDoctor

Hello there, fellow Potterheads :)
I am the Doctor, who travels through the galaxy in a blue box.
We aren't on a Doctor Who fansite so I won't rant on and on about it though.
You, my friend, did not arrive on a simple Harry Potter fan site. You are on a website where we care not only about the music and the books, no. Oh no, dear. We are here to make you discover/ or re-discover A Very Potter Musical, Hogwarts Extreme, A Very Potter Sequel, Wizard rock (a.k.a wrock) and so much more ! We are also going to do a regular newsfeed about Harry Potter and related things too.
Have a nice life, my friend, and enjoy this blog, because it is for you !
-Doctor.

Welcome Message from AdminLily

Hullo there!
Glad to see you in our blog!

We're getting a Facebook,Twitter and Formspring and it would be awesome if you could check 'em out when we get started with them!
Sincerely,Lily

Welcome message from AdminCho

Hello!
A warm welcome to all our new members, and a welcome back to those of you who have already joined us.
As you may know, we are an official Harry Potter fan-site.
We are working hard to keep this updated and fun to use, and we ask for your patience, so we can turn this little tiny blog into THE Potterdom.

There are some things I want to tell you before we really get started:

1) How will this tiny blog EVER turn into a successful Harry Potter blog?

The answer is quite easy and simple.. Why would we start BIG and HUGE with lots of games, if we don't even know if you guys are going to like our idea! When we notice that we have many active members on the chat and here, we will expand our site. The ".blogspot.com" will vanish and everything's is  going be just fine.

2) What can I do here?

Well this has just started a few hours ago! We're currently adding games, chats, Harry Potter quizzes and Quotes and News about all your favorite witches and wizards! If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate and leave us a message in our FormSpring message box. For more information follow us there.

3) How can I stay updated?

You can follow us on FormSpring, Twitter or Facebook. (We are still working on the Twitter account and Facebook page.) For additional information please don't hesitate to contact our admins (List below).

4) How can I become a moderator or an admin?

We currently don't need any moderators or admins, but we will let you know as soon as we do need a helping hand. You can show us you are worth becoming a staff member by sticking to our rules and doing extra things for the Parslemouth community.

5) Are there any important rules for this site?
                                                                             
Yes, yes my dear friend there are!
First of all you should know that we are Anti-Twilight, although you may talk about it once in a while we do not want our chat to transform into a Twilight discussion.
Secondly, you have to respect other members and the admins/moderators. Be nice, and no offensive comments, please.
That shall be enough.
In addition I would like to remind you that spelling and grammar mistakes do not improve your chances on becoming an admin or a moderator and it may annoy fellow chatters.

List of our admins:

Cho
Lily
Doc
Andromeda

Please contact us in the chat, send us a FormSpring message or contact us through our Twitter and Facebook page if you have any questions.

Read more about HOW to become an official Parslemouth in our next post. (LINK HERE)
