Self Confessed HP Nerd

I have already had to admit what a HP nerd i am in a comment on one of my deviations (Albus Dumbledore), but since i've lost so much time to google for the cause i have no choice but to post the useless information i've found about HP.

Does anyone really care? Probably not, but here it is anyway;

...the mirror of erised is so named because erised is 'desire' backwards. It's also engraved with 'erised s'traeh ruoy tub ecaf ton ruoy wohs i' which is the reverse of 'I show not your face but your heart’s desire.'

...Richard Harris only accepted the role of Dumbledore (the original dumbledore) because his granddaughter threatened to stop talking to him if he didn’t!

...In the 3rd movie, the actors were told that the sweets in the honeydukes scenes were coated in lacquer to stop them eating any between scenes.

...It took 3 months for the crews reflections to be edited out of all the Room of Requirement scenes in OoP.

...Dumbledores full name is given as Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
*cruel parents!

...In OotP, the number dialled to use the visitors entrance to the Ministry of Magic is 62442. The letters underneath those numbers on a standard mobile phone spell out the word "magic".

...On page 159 of GoF a first year by the name of natalie McDonald is sorted into her house (Gryffindor - for the brave at heart). JK named this character after a nine year old girl from Toronto who had emailed her to ask what would happen in the next book as she was dying of Leukaemia and wouldn't live long enough to read it. JK did reply, but natalie had died a day earlier.

...Fred and George Weasley's birthday is the 1st of April - April Fools Day.

...THE four houses at Hogwarts correspond to the four elements. Gryffindor is fire, Ravenclaw is air, Hufflepuff is earth and Slytherin is water.

...In muggle money a galleon is worth about £5.
*But exchange rates can vary.

...Director, Alfonso Cuarón asked each of the three main actors to write an essay about their characters. Emma Watson (Hermione) wrote a 16 page essay. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) wrote a short 1 page essay. Rupert Grint never turned his in.
*Maybe they were just REALLY in character!

...According to the film, the Weasleys' car registration number is 7990 TD.

...Dudley's part in the 3rd movie consists of laughing once at the TV, and giving two gasps of surprise.

...It took the effects team 6 months to create the dementors.

...David Thewlis (Lupin) was originally considered to play Professor Quirrell.

...Over 3,000 girls turned up at the auditions for the role of Cho Chang in London on 7 February 2004.
*I would've if i fit the description - despite not being able to act.

...Ron's middle name is Bilius!

...For GoF, Daniel Radcliffe spent 41 hours 38 minutes underwater during the course of filming.

...At one point during training for the underwater scenes, Daniel inadvertently signaled that he was drowning, sending the crew into a huge panic to bring him back up to surface.

...In the 2nd movie there is a portrait of another famous wizard in DUmbledores office: Gandalf (It is above the door-frame and slightly to Harry's right).

...Hugh Grant was originally cast as Gilderoy Lockhart but was forced to withdraw at the last moment because of scheduling conflicts.

...The Mininstry of Magic set took 22 weeks to built and was on screen for less than 10 minutes!

...In the 2nd movie, 11 year old Emma Watson wass so embarassed about having to hug Daniel infront of the crew that she kept letting go of him too quickly and the scene had to be frozen to make it look as though it lasted longer.

Allow Me to be Emo

Firstly, appologies to the people who tried to cheer me up.

DO NOT READ IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAPPINESSS
________________________________________ _______

I would ususally write this kind of stuff in my private journal but now that i know my mum reads that, i won't be.

I haven't felt this bad in so long that i cant even remember the last time. It's the kind of bad where even hugs make u make u feel worse - like u dont deserve to be comorted because whatever you're upset about is your fault.

Lets start with yeaterday's chemistry practical exam. I was sat front row directly in front of the invigilator and i swear she was watvhing me the wole hr and 45mins we were there. What's worse is that i believe wholeheartedly that she was thinking "She has absolutely no idea what she's doing." This was all in my mind but i was angry at her for it anyway. And i was even more annoyed that in my head, she was also psychic: "I can see an F on its way, no, its becoming clearer now...yes, its a U!".
Anyway NONE of my ion identification tsts worked so i came to the conclusion that my solution U was in fact water!
I left the room wacking my head with my notes.

Moving on, maths. Doesn't that word just fill you with optimism? I wasn't actually worried about maths until today - I have, since this morning, decided to quit maths if i get les than a C in Monday's exams. That looks quite likely.
He was giving back practice exam papers and gave mine back first. "E. That's bad." Then he gave back everyone elses. Ok, there are only 2 other people in my class, but thats of no comfort. As he gave theirs out he said "Well done! Excellent; A!"
I wanted to die. I actually willed it to happen. I never begged to die but it seemed easier than carrying on living feeling the way i did just then. (Thats about as emo as you get). For the rest of the lesson he kept offering to help me with EVERY question. I really wanted to yell "I CAN DO SOMETHINGS, YOU KNOW!" But i couldn't bring myself to look at him.
As i was leaving he wished me good luck in the exam. No anyone else would think that was a nice thing; he wants me to do well. But Im not most people - i could've shot him (but i didnt have a gun).
I left wacking my head with my folder.

Then i did something else i've never done - i cried in a toilet cubical!

I really can't wait for it all to be over (the exams, not life - im not THAT emo). This isn't me. I just don't get worried about exams or upset about bad results. I wish i didn't care so much.

My computer is My Friend

Isn't it weird how people start talking to inanimate objects is if they actually understand? And its only when you want something isn't it. It's always something like "Please work, please!" you'll never sit infront of your computer for an hour with it switched off, saying "I had the best day..."

I was just doing that with my computer (the first, NOT the latter). I was literally stroking the screen going "Come on! Load. You can do it. Come on!" The really weird thing is...so far its worked. I've now been online long enough to load 2 different web pages without the computer suddenly deciding the internet is not plugged in. I didn't even know you COULD plug the internet in...but apparantly its quite important.

My appologies to anyone who thinks i've been ignoring them on msn. But at the moment i have 45 seconds to get online once the computer has loaded...then i have about 5 mins to do what i need to before it automatically logs me off. Right now is goining well though - this must be at least 7 mins of internet bliss. "Thank you computer; much appreciated. Keep up the good work!"


*imaging confused expressions of anyone bored enough to be reading this*

Did i go too far?

YAYYYYY!!!!!
