Harry Potter

The old fashioned public school environment, the British English, the witchcraft and wizardry. A film full of magic with twists and turns. Harry Potter has stroke again.

It started with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, released in 1997. I read the first two books in the summer of 1998 and I was hooked. Muggles, Moaning Murtle, butterbear, bludger, Hogwarts Express, Gringotts and Hogsmeade... And who wouldn't want to have a pensieve? The stone basin that holds memories that can be explored by someone in a third person viewpoint. Or a sip of Polyjuice Potion just to see what it's like to be transformed into somebody else for a while.

But more than anything I think I would like to know where the portkeys are located; those ordinary objects that can be used for traveling. The simple "touch and go" and in the next breath you have transfered to any location you wish.

Expecto Patronum. I wonder what my Patronus looks like?
