Hello Potterheads!
Now this post has nothing at all to do with Harry Potter but I want to share it with you anyway...
Instead of studying for my history exam that is in a day, I spent the day having a youtube sesh and watching Emma Blackery and danisnotonfire videos, which I've already seen several times.
However, I just started watching the videos on Emma's side channel and this is one of them. In the video, Emma talks about how she was bullied and how she wished her 13 year old self had been told 'Stay Strong, Fight Back' which is now her motto.
It's a really great video where she inspires [not really the word I'm after but it will do] her subscribers to not let the bullies get you down.
I thought it would be something that you, or anyone, would get something out of because everyone has been bullied at some point in their lives...
I'll be posting again in two days!

Get On Board The Tumblr Train!
HELLO POTTERHEADS!
How is life treating you all?
I have just finished my fourth exam - maths, and let me tell you how relieved I am. I no longer have to remember how to differentiate, integrates, simultaneously solve equations, find the side/angel of a triangle using trigonometry, finding the coordinates of random graphs. I. Am. Done!
Anyway, moving on. My next exam is history extension and I actually can't wait. I really love history so don't find it a bore or hard - obviously why I chose the extension class. The case study we covered in class was JFK. Now I'm guessing those of you in America would find this topic boring, it would be part of the history you learn all throughout school, and to be honest, I thought it wouldn't be that interesting in the beginning since I wanted to do the Elizabeth I topic. However, I found it really interesting and enjoyable and I am surprised at how much of the topic I remember, especially the weird and quirky bits.
But this is not why I bought you here.
I recently got tumblr (again) and thought I would let you know who I was in the tumblrsphere so you can go follow me! I'll even follow you back if you comment your name below!
So go on. Follow me! NOW!
I'll be blogging and reblogging Harry Potter, Glee, Misfits, Hunger Games, Charmed, Friends, Neighbours, StarKid and so much more. So head on over to tumblr and follow my account!
I think I have rambled enough for today. I will post in the next few days!
Let me leave you with some photos and gifs :)

442nd Quidditch World Cup...
HELLO POTTERHEADS!!!
How has everyone been? Good!
Time to get back to my collection since the last few posts have been other Potter-related stuff.
Did you know that in Goblet of Fire, the Prop Department designed full programs and maps for the movie, just in case it was seen in the shot... Talk about dedication and attention to detail!
In the Harry Potter Film Wizardry and Harry Potter Page to Screen books, props are brought to life and this is how these images have made their way online (I do not own either of these books but would really love to). While searching deviantART, I came across the poster for 442nd Quidditch World Cup. After searching further, I found the programme on the HP wiki page and saved them. I then placed them on a word document to make sure they were all the same size, printed them off and glued/stapled them together.
Once printed, to put it together, you stick the checked pages on the back of the cover and the other pages on the back of the centre pages (they are not like this in the document but I'm sure if you wanted to you could modify the images before printing). I found it good to stick the pages back-to-back because it made the final product sturdier. If you printed it back-to-back properly, I suggest you use card stock to add quality to the final product.
The images are of high quality and you can read everything written in the programme. Download my document here or go to the wiki.
Another important prop from the World Cup is the map. This map was also on the wiki but is off a lesser quality - but still extremely good for something you can make yourself. I'm not sure what is on the back of the map but I added the poster that is similar to the front of the programme. Again, instead of printing back-to-back I glued them together, making it nice and sturdy (like the programme use card stock for back-to-back printing). The poster was found on deviantART and she has added her profile signature to the poster so you can check her out. She has some other amazing Potter art.
This document is also available to download. If you find a higher-quality map please let me know!
That's all for now! Hope everyone is still enjoying Potter even though the books are finished and so are the movies... At least we will get to enjoy Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them when it is finally released!

Two albums have, three EPs and three singles have been released. However, another three EPs are meant to be released, with only a couple of songs released on each.

Exams Are Hard/Annoying...
Hiya Potterheads!
As I have mentioned, I am currently sitting my N.E.W.Ts equivalent exams and like the name N.E.W.Ts suggest, they are Nastily Exhausting. Even though I have a good few days between each exam, it doesn't make them any easier to study for and write in.
I have already sat three of my seven exams - two English and one Ancient History. I still have Mathematics, History Extension, Food Technology and Biology to do which is a whole 11 hours (3 hours per exam except for History Extension which is only 2).
I also already have a pile of sheets and books to burn/recycle/sell/return to school.
I can't wait until the 4th of November which is when my Biology exam is. It is an early exam, starting at 9:25am and finishing at 12:30pm. After that, I am free to do whatever I want. The first thing I am going to do, a part from sleep for about a week, is have a full-blown Harry Potter marathon. That is, I am, hopefully, going to watch all eight Harry Potter movies in one go - that is around 16 hours of Potter heaven and joy.
This isn't the only thing I want to do once exams/school are over. I want to finish my Fan Fic, which I haven't written in about a year. I also want to complete the trunk for my cousin (and for myself since I am making more than one of objects), read/finish about 10 different books (The Casual Vacancy, The Fault of Our Stars, The Cuckoos Calling, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Fallen series, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, The Other Boleyn Girl, ttyl series, Just A Girl... just to name a few!). And so many other things that I can finally do with my free time!
Well, that's about all for now. I'll be back in a few days to tell you more about my Potter Obsessed life :)

Equality FTW!
Yo Potterheads!
How is everyone?
Just writing to show you what I received in the mail today - a postcard from the HPA.
What is the HPA? Let me enlighten you...
The Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) uses parallels from Harry Potter to inspire hundreds of thousands of Harry Potter fans to act as heroes in our world. The HPA has sent five cargo planes to Haiti, donated over 88,000 books across the world, and has made signi!cant contributions to the anti-genocide, LGBTQ equality, environmental, and media reform movements. Currently the organization is in discussion with the CEO of Warner Bros. to make all Harry Potter chocolate Fair Trade.
The HPA has a staff of over 60 volunteers, more than 85 chapters, and a network that reaches well over one million people. With social media as its turf, in 2010, it won the $250,000 first place prize in the Chase Bank Community Challenge. It has received media coverage from almost every major publication in the United States and many throughout the world.
By joining the HPA, you become a member of the real life D.A. and S.P.E.W. [Society for the Promotion of Equality Winning].
Recently, the HPA conducted their Equality FTW! 2013 fundraiser, which aimed to raise $100,000. Thanks to thousands of supporters, they managed to nearly double that amount, raising $184,738!
By donating, you not only helped a worthy cause in the name of Potter, but you could also choose a 'perk' which you could receive. The amount which you donated depended on what perk you could choose. Perks ranged from a Wrock album, to Alex Day signed Twilight pages, to signed Chris Colfer books, to signed Harry Potter books and then all the way up to Leaky Con tickets.
For $25, you become a member of the HPA Apparating Library (see video to learn more) and could enter in the draw to win one of seven signed Harry Potter books - that is what I chose. I was not expecting to receive anything for my generosity except for an email receipt. How wrong was I?
Today I received a S.P.E.W. [which would of looked weird to the postie] postcard from Hermione:
I have already filled out my entry for the signed Harry Potter book, I will let you know how I go...
The Equality FTW! 2013 fundraiser may be over, but you can still donate. Head over to their website and donate, or you can buy an item from their shop - I plan to buy a HPA shirt in the near future.
You can also get involved by volunteering and joining a 'chapter'. A chapter is a group of HPA members that organise and run campaigns in their local communities, usually addressing local issues. You can find your nearest chapter here or, if you have a bunch of Potter friends who support social changes towards equality, go here to start your own chapter!
I hope you all consider supporting the HPA. It's a worthy cause that every Potter should contribute to!

I Soleomly Swear That I Am Up To No Good...
Hello Potterheads!
I have already finished two of my seven exams - both English. It dawned on me that many of you, being from different parts of the world, wouldn't really know/understand what the HSC is. In simple terms,the HSC is equivalent to the N.E.W.Ts.
Anyway, now that that has been cleared out of the way, let me introduce you to another item in my collection, and one that you can have too!
As I have already mentioned, I have two Marauders Maps - one is the official Warner Brothers Map and the other is a downloaded one (for my cousin and friends).
To get the Official Map go to the Warner Bros website here.
The second map I found while trolling the internet for ways to make props for my cousin. I'm not sure how I came to find this site, but I found it all the same. A women named Britta Peterson had designed a Marauders Map that showed the main areas of Hogwarts, was easy to print out and easy to fold together. She was even nice enough to include the folding directions in the PDF file! Here is the link to her website.
While searching for more prop replicas, especially on deviantART [I suggest you sign up and follow some of the amazing artists that replicate and share some of their prop creations and just general art!] I found a similar map that had used Britta's folding design and some of the details to make a map. Here is that version. I am yet to print and fold the second version, but I will so that I can compare which one I want to use for my cousin and my friends.
If you want a larger map with the movie detail, this map may be more for you. I haven't made it but I may in the future.
So that is my Marauders Maps. I hope that it has inspired you to either buy the official copy or make your own!

Before the Beginning
Hello!
As many of you may [or should] know, J.K. Rowling wrote an 800 word prequel to the series, written in 2008 for charity. It is set three years before the birth of Harry and recounts an adventure of Sirius and James. This story has been available online since July 2008 and just by searching for the prequel, you will be able to find the story.
The first copy I made is for myself. I have to adjust the paper in the printer to ensure that the pages line up (you can see in the photo that the page line crosses the bottom of the first page).
For your convenience, I have a PDF copy to share with you here!
That's all for now. I am currently sitting my HSC (High School Certificate) so I am studying heaps. I will be able to schedule posts though (just like this on). My final exam is on the 4th of November so from them on I'll be able to firstly finish my cousin's trunk and secondly contribute more to the blog.
Until then;
Mischief Managed!

P.S - I am currently listening to the HP audiobooks read by Stephen Fry - he is absolutely amazing at reading the books. Highly recommend you listen to them if you haven't already!
As many of you may [or should] know, J.K. Rowling wrote an 800 word prequel to the series, written in 2008 for charity. It is set three years before the birth of Harry and recounts an adventure of Sirius and James. This story has been available online since July 2008 and just by searching for the prequel, you will be able to find the story.
Let me just leave the prequel for the minute. For my cousin's birthday, I have decided to give her a box (hopefully a trunk) full of Potter items. I have made a list of over 30 items! Since she is only just working her way into the fandom, I thought she probably hasn't read the prequel yet. This gave me the idea to include it in the trunk.
To help save space, I decided to make a little booklet. I created a front cover, including the Hogwarts crest, and a back cover, including the comment written by Rowling on the original text. Then I condensed the text down to four of the booklets page.
To print, I made the first page coloured (pink) then printed the other pages back-to-back. Then I just cut it out and stuck it together. To make the cover more sturdy, I stuck a piece of red paper on the inside.
The first copy I made is for myself. I have to adjust the paper in the printer to ensure that the pages line up (you can see in the photo that the page line crosses the bottom of the first page).For your convenience, I have a PDF copy to share with you here!
That's all for now. I am currently sitting my HSC (High School Certificate) so I am studying heaps. I will be able to schedule posts though (just like this on). My final exam is on the 4th of November so from them on I'll be able to firstly finish my cousin's trunk and secondly contribute more to the blog.
Until then;
Mischief Managed!
