Harry Potter

July 16, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

Aren't they pretty?  These are the UK Adult Paperback versions of Harry Potter books 1-3 that I bought at King's Cross station in London when I was there in 2008.  I geek out every time I see them.  I love the British slang in there and it's sad to me the American versions left it ... Read More »

My "Follow the Owl" Theories

June 25, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

I wanted to post some screen shots I found while "following the owl" on www.secretstreetview.com. The first one is from Salem.  You can see a brown owl taking off from the awning and heading west.  You can also see the "magic" letter J.K. Rowling used as a teaser for what the website would be called. If ... Read More »

"Follow the Owl"

June 23, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

I found some screenshots for Pottermore.  Aren't they great? I was sad that I didn't do some sort of marathon for the very last Harry Potter movie ever, so I'm super excited about Pottermore because it will be just as fun, if not more. For Harry Potter 7.1 I had a marathon with my sisters.  I ... Read More »
