The Most Random Harry Potter Community Around

katiethewriter — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 01:48:22 GMT

Not like many people post here anyway, but I'm making this place a moderated comm, which means that I have to approve each submission before it's posted. I'm keeping the comm that way until both the movie and the book come out. It's just a precaution. I don't want anyone to see things they don't have to. If things don't have anything to do with the new book/movie and their outcomes, they'll get through. If they do, though, the posts won't be approved, and the poster will be banned as per my previous post.

I don't expect to have any such problems, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And I'd rather keep you all safe too.

Happy posting.

SPOILER WARNINGS

katiethewriter — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 17:29:43 GMT

Afternoon all! (Or morning, or evening... whichever works for the timezone you're in!)

I just wanted to pop by and remind you all of something.

The new movie comes out in about three weeks. The book in about a month. We're coming down to the wire, and I just want to put it out here right now. And I'm saying it big, loud, and red...

IF YOU POST ANY SPOILERS AT ALL IN THE NEXT MONTH WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR WITHOUT PUTTING IT BEHIND A LJ CUT, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE COMMUNITY. NOT JUST REMOVED FROM THE COMM AND ABLE TO POST AGAIN. BANNED.

If you DO put a spoiler up without a warning and a cut tag, you will have five minutes from your posting time to fix that post accordingly, or you WILL be banned. No exceptions.

I don't want to be spoiled like I was for the last book, and I don't want any of you to be either. If I were you, especially in the final days before the book comes out, I would remove your HP communities from your friends lists. There are rude and evil people out there that go around posting spoilers just for the sheer joy of knowing they've spoiled something for someone else.

Once the movie and/or book are out, all posts regarding either should still include warnings and cuts for at least two months. I don't want to see mention of who dies or what happens in open posts until at least mid-to-late September. Posts without warnings/cuts will be deleted and the poster will be banned.

Be careful, everyone! Not everyone is as nice as we all are.

I saw the JKR construction company on the way to Knowsley yeserday.

Because i don't know what this comm's policy on spoilerness is right now

uchidachi — Wed, 24 Sep 2003 18:45:40 GMT

In my evolutionary biology class, there's this girl who looks exactly like Luna Lovegood. Plus, she's a really good artist, and I saw her drawing of a stag as I was going past, and I thought "Prongs!"

so obsessed tis not funny

The Da Vinci Code... And Harry Potter?

katiethewriter — Wed, 24 Sep 2003 03:55:38 GMT

This is a few lines from the Da Vinci Code, one of the most amazingly fabulous books I've ever read. And you are all gonna guffaw at this one. Guarenteed. *wink* The context is an author of a book about the Holy Grail is defending his theory on the history of the Grail...

(x-posted to hogwarts, quote_it, randomhpsights, and my journal... because it's that good.)

Faukman was still shaking his head. "But with all these books written about it, why isn't this theory more widely known?"

"These books can't possibly compete with centuries of established history, especially when that history is endorsed by the ultimate best-seller of all time."

Faukman's eyes went wide. "Don't tell me Harry Potter is actually about the Holy Grail."

"I was referring to the Bible."

Faukman cringed. "I knew that."

I saw Ron and Hermione's kids on Saturday. Identical twin girls with red hair and freckles. They were so adorable!!

jamisent — Tue, 02 Sep 2003 12:37:56 GMT

as I was telling mcvries last night, I was at a wedding reception in Skippack, PA this past Saturday. There was a little kid there that looked exactly like Tom Felton in The Borrowers well, not so much curly red hair, but other than that - exact! I wanted to kidnap him!!! He played outfield for me while I pitched in the little kid whiffle ball game. I love him.

steph_hime — Wed, 27 Aug 2003 17:50:16 GMT

I saw 'Snapes Bakery' today. Was gonna take a photo of the sign, but I was in the car and we couldn't stop.

katiethewriter — Sat, 16 Aug 2003 04:22:41 GMT

I'm looking for pics of new jeans I got so I can show someone, and I was on the K-Mart website looking, and I saw this...

Dorm Life 201
-HP All In One

Of course my head went "Ooo a Harry Sheet set and comforter and all!" so I clicked on it...

It was for Hewlett-Packard printers. *sigh* Talk about disappointment.

Ah, Dean

katiethewriter — Mon, 11 Aug 2003 21:49:06 GMT

nattish would enjoy this... *grin* I was watching the Family Feud on Game Show Network, and one of the surveys was "Name someone with Dean in his name."

The first thing my head was "Dean Thomas."

steph_hime — Thu, 07 Aug 2003 13:25:20 GMT

Guess what I saw? I saw the Hogwarts Express!!!!!! I was on the way to my Nan and Granddad's in Wales and there it was at the side of the road on a trailer! If only I had a camera...

dawnsdream — Mon, 04 Aug 2003 01:55:55 GMT

I'm new, hi.

It was probably my eyes playing tricks on me, but last week I saw one of those for sale signs for a house that I normally ignore. But as I went past it, I looked at it and I could have sworn it said "Wingardium Leviosa." Since I was in a car, by the time it registered, it was too late for me to look back and see if that's what it really said. :(

Then, about 30 seconds later, I saw a sign in front of a building and the company name was RED CAP something-or-other. I thought I was losing my mind...

katiethewriter — Sat, 26 Jul 2003 04:40:39 GMT

My boyfriend, a non-Harry person, just called Voldemort "dooder." Thought I'd share.

Too much time with a three year old...

uchidachi — Tue, 22 Jul 2003 07:10:00 GMT

... who is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine (remember? from Shining Time Station? anyone?)

anyway, there's a lot of HP names there...

Bill (of bill and ben): who seem to be the Gred and Forge of their world...

Bulstrode the barge: "an old, bad mannered, sea going barge" big ass and ugly... Percy taught him a "lesson" once

George: a steamroller

Iron 'arry: "grim messangers of doom"

James: "likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine"

Oliver: a medium sized green engine

Percy: "just occasionally his respect and admiration for sir topam hat borders on servility"

Peter sam: "a little vulnerable, he is often teased by the others"

Trevor the Traction Engine: "he's very old and enjoys dozing in the sun"

( i got this all from here)

my god, i have to get out more

This is an actual ad...

katiethewriter — Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:02:17 GMT

I saw the ad on ff.net. The wording is what gets me...

I went grocery shopping for myself. At the store, I was about to go off to the meats section when something caught my eye... CoS plates. And bowls. And cups. I got one of each. It may not exactly be a sighting, but it's random Harry-ness.

I'm gonna go eat dinner on my new plate now.

I saw a liscense plate the other day...

"JKR11H"

My head went through the following...

"J. K. Rowling! Cool! And ya gotta be 11 when you go to Hogwarts... Hmm. I want that liscense plate."

Who's an odd one? Yeah. That'd be me. *wink*

steph_hime — Wed, 16 Jul 2003 11:19:09 GMT

Hey, I know most people on here. Just wanna say hi and there's a kid in the choir that gets on my orchestra bus that looks like Harry with blonde-ish hair and no glasses. It's freaky. ^^

Bye for now!

jamisent — Tue, 15 Jul 2003 19:17:10 GMT

hi, new. no sightings yet, but i thought I'd join just the same.

cheshireaffair — Tue, 15 Jul 2003 17:41:45 GMT

There is a boy at school that looks exactly like Harry Potter. He's known as Harry Potter Kid, and everyone knows thats his name. His friends call him Harry. I think his real name is Phillip. Who knows.

WELCOME!

katiethewriter — Tue, 15 Jul 2003 16:20:49 GMT

Welcome, everyone! I'm your mod, katiethewriter. I hope you all have a blast in this community, sharing the oddities of HP with each other, and have fun! If you have any questions, comments, smart remarks, whatever, feel free to ask! I'm here for you all!

And as an opening HP sighting...

When I was down at the NJ shore a couple weeks ago, I saw a little girl that looked EXACTLY like Hermione and Ron's future daughter. Majorly bushy red hair. Too cute! *grin*
