After a 2 years wait, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is finally here. It’s well worth the wait. First of all it’s so nice to be reunited with my favorite characters on the screen! Just seeing them put a smile on my face. Then the surprising direction to play up the light-hearted moments, the romantic and comedy aspects of the book really give the series a whole new feeling and even look as well. It’s actually a well-needed balance from the last movie and I …

I ordered the limited edition of the Tales of Beedle the Bard like ages ago – seriously, it was like back at the days of my last job.  Anyway, it arrived on December 4th, the day that I went to LA.  It was sent to my friend’s house and after I come back, I still hadn’t have a chance to get the book because someone was being forgetful! I didn’t get it until the day of the Harry Potter Movie Marathon – a very fitting occasion to receive it, but it also …

Yesterday I went to a Harry Potter movies marathon at the legendary Ziegfeld Theatre in midtown. In the words of Ron Weasley, it’s bloody brilliant and yet completely mental! Yeah, 15 hours in a theater, it’s not for everyone~ Lack of proper meals for a whole day, cram in a seat with not much leg room, it’s even worse than if you are flying coach on a cross-pacific flight! But in the end, it’s all worth it~~ It’s not every day that they all showing on the big …

Here is the international trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!  Not sure if it was old because it still said “This Year”, but still there is more footage than anything we have seen so far!  The scenes where Dumbledore went to retrieve the Horcrux looks totally kick-ass!!! Book 6 really is when the storylines coming together with all the suspense and danger kicks into high gear!  It’s gonna be awesome!! too bad we still have to wait til next summer!!

It’s been 4 years since I started this blog. Last year to celebrate the occasion I gave the blog a total facelift with 4 switchable designs. I wasn’t going to re-invent the wheel so quickly, so for this year I set my eyes on improving the existing themes. With the switchable system in place, the update was much easier than ever before. Therefore, to celebrate this blog’s 4th birthday and Harry Potter’s birthday – which is tomorrow if you remember from the books – I announce the launching of a newly re-design Wizard theme!

The night before Voldemort was hunting me down. He first came to my apartment when I wasn’t there. Who knew he would play some childish tricks by messing up my apartment? I came back home and turn on the water, well it’s not water anymore, it’s dirty sewer water! Of course my roommate was mad about that, but I was like, it’s not me! You know who did that, it’s my nemesis Voldemort!
When I get out of the house Voldemort saw me and started chasing after me. …

I was running down the heavily wore out staircase. The maintenance staff was trying to figure out which piece of the wailing fell out. I told Janet the piece that she has in her hand should go on the side. We chit-chat a bit and she mentioned the condition of the staircase will get worst when the security will station permanently on the staircase itself on the 3rd floor.
I walked down to the basement where the cafeteria is located. Many students were already there. I had an important news to …

I have been going on and on about my ongoing project of updating this blog, and I just realized I totally forgot to mention the code name of this project: Project Fred and George! HP fans will no doubt get the reference. My original plan was to have everything change and done and then roll it out all at the same time, but I realize the difficulty once I assess the situation. So I decided to roll out the change gradually. It was already happening with the few changes you …
