The original Batman. The father of Marvel Comics. Weasley twins. The voice of Winnie the Pooh. Star Trek. Do these sound familiar? I’m sure at least some of them register with readers, regardless of age or interest.

I’m sure we’ve all done a terrible British accent at one time or another. It’s interesting to see things the other way around. I think Draco took the cake on this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moPRTR5ABE0&feature=player_detailpage
If you have ever read a popular novel or books series, there is probably a movie that is based off of it. The reason popular novels often become movies is because they already have a fan base, the storyline is already developed and it is extremely easy to market the movie. Sometimes, these attempts to…
I find a rare depth and infinite wisdom in the words J.K. Rowling channels through her character: Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore in the globally renowned Harry Potter series.

1. Canada Day: As July 1 dawns every year, I get to experience overzealous and extremely patriotic Canadians, fun parades in Canmore and Banff, fireworks and having insults aimed at me by those who have found a little too much comfort at the bottom of the bottle on this annual holiday. 2.

I found some comics that have been healing my heart after seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. Go check this artist out on Deviantart (which, by the way, is the best art website ever~). Her username is Loleia and she’s good at the artsy stuff she does. Okie, enjoy 🙂

Where would the nerds of the world be if it weren’t for Harry Potter? I have no idea, but I know I personally wouldn’t have turned out to be so lame awesome without it 😉 Now, the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game has somewhat recently come out for consoles, but what some of you may…
