PotterCast

Hello everyone I've decided to blog each week (when possible) about my thoughts on whatever has been mentioned in that weeks PotterCast. PotterCast for those of you who don't know is a podcast all about Harry Potter done by fans for the fans. Find it hear - www.pottercast.com where you can find out how to listen. :)

So PC 59, I thought the Canon Conundrums section was very interesting this week as it was about how did Hagrid know where to find Harry unless he'd been told by, the secret keeper (Peter Pettigrew) where the Potter's were. I think the idea of the charm that means only the secret keeper can know and tell people where they are, is destoyed once the house is, seems quite likely. I also think that Dumbledore is most likely going to have some sort of watch on the place. He knows that a dark wizard who wants to kill Harry is after them so I don't think he would be likely to just put the charm on the house and rely soley upon that, Dumbledore surely is going to take much more care than that.
(if this isn't making any sense, then you can read the Harry Potter books and listen to PotterCast or you can just skip the blogs about it but if it does make sense, feel free to leave comments with your opinions, or visit leakylounge.com to do that. :)

At the end of this PC they also mentioned someone sent them a photo of Chris Rankin in a PotterCast t-shirt, well that was me lol. :) I was in he other half of the pic, that version can be found on my myspace page.
Just a quick thing to add ,that I thought the song by the transcription elves was good :) I think that's about all I have to say about this episode, although I did laugh rather alot at the whole Dobby thing. :D

On another note, it's my half term which although it is nice that I don't have to get up and can be a bit more lazy and have time to get stuff done and stuff, I actually do like going to College now and really enjoy my long free's :P On the day we are supposed to be going back, we are supposed to be dressing up (as it's halloween) but I don't know how many people will do so I think I may just take my costume (I have robes, plan to attempt to make a mask out of paper mache which might be fun lol) and then put it on if others are wearing costumes lol.

I recently have been watching quite a few films, that have been rented from the library mostly, and have a few more at home that I plan to watch somewhen and I think I might write a bit about what I thought of them on my Myspace blog or on here but I won't forget you all here completely... probably ;P :-)

The best gig ever!

Well I thought so anyway. Atmosphere wise Paolo Nutini's gig at the Brighton Concorde on Wednesday was certainly the best gig of his I've been to (and I have been to about 8 in the past 2 years) and I'd prob go as far to say that I'd been to (excluding T4 on the beach which is totally different so cannot be compared to). When everyone sand Last Request back to Paolo and he stopped to listen and smiled it was lovely. I know that prob sounds stupid but I've been a fan of him since he was a not quite so good looking 17 year old just like any other artist trying to get signed so to see that all these people were not only there to see him but knew the words was great. When he then sung Crazy right at the end everyone was dancing and singing, it was hot and packed and I had some tall bloke infront of me (why does that always happen?) but I didn't care. I was loving it. He also sing rainbows which has become a favourite although my faves do change quite regularly. I think my friend enjoyed it too, she hadn't seen Paolo before so was cool to go with her. I'm not sure she enjoyed the journey there though as I was sick but the less said about that the better I think. Going back to the gig itself I managed to get my dad to meet me at the door with some more money so I could buy a T-Shirt and osme badges. I just couldn't resist the badges I'm afraid and they do look lovely on my bag. I had considered hanging around after the gig to try and meet the band and for my friend to meet Paolo but we didn't which was a little annoying as I later found out they did come out.

Now you'd think that my week couldn't get anymore exciting but oh yes it can well o.k nothing's going to beat that gig for awhile but I went to see Ed Byrne at the weekend who was very funny as was his warm up act although I did have to try and make it look like I wasn't laughing at some points as I didnd't want my parents to think I'd understood the joke if you know what I mean. Oh I also went ice skating and managed to get knocked into and stay upright once and then later on I don't even remember being knocked into I just remember landing on the floor. I think my leg has stopped hurting now though.

So I did say I hadn't deserted you all on here but what with college and stuff I'm a bit more busy that I was in the Summer Holidays. I can't think of anything else to add atthe moment, well I could mention certain things that I have been told by people but as people from college may find this through my Myspace page (www.myspace.com/mysecretsinside) I think it best I don't say too much, I am enjoying College more now though. Oh and I just have to remind anyone who might have forgotten that Halloween is coming up which means dressing up which if you read this you'll know I love :P I'm currently thinking of eather putting the hood up on my Hogwarts robes and being a simple Dementor or making a Death Eater mask, a slight theme going on with both those ideas but come on you really think I'm going to turn down an oppertunity like this to wear something Harry Potter related. ;P On a completely unrelated note I've applied to try and get tickets (by doing street teaming things) for Razorlight but am not going to hope too much as I think it is unlikely especially as I haven't been finding enough time to even do the reports I am supposed to.

I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything is right.

O.k so not quite but I did put some new shoes on, some brown suede like boots (that are not actually, hopefully not anyway, it doesn't say they are, suede as I don't like to wear anything like that or leather that has come from an animal). I rather like my new boots as they can prob double up as Pirate boots and go with my Captain Jack Sparrow costume that I am currently working on and have a cool hat. I think I may have shared with you the excitement I felt when I found said hat so we wont go into that again.

On the subject of costumes, I had a Ravenclaw robe my mum made for me to wear to Collectormania today in Milton Keynes but in the end I decided not to wear it. I did go though, even though I didn't get any of the autographs that I had considered getting (David Wenham - LOTR, Ian Somerholder and Maggie Grace - Lost) as I decided to save my money. I am hoping to maybe try and get Miranda Otto's and ofcourse I'm hoping for some more HP actors to be at other events so I get to wear my robe. The robe was supposed to be part of a Luna Lovegood costume but I think I need a different wig and some radish earrings, aswell as a proper/better jumper and tie before my look will be nearer to completion. Today I did buy a Dr Who pen which had a Tardis on it and makes sounds of the Tardis and the Dr Who theme tune which is rather cool I thought. I may well get funny looks if I decide to use it at college though. ;P

On the subject of college, I am enjoying it kind of, still settling in really and getting used to early mornings and need to get to bed earlier so I'm not so tired.

I am going to have a few late nights to come though as I'm hoping to get to a Paolo Nutini gig with a friend which should be good and I'm hoping to go and see Ed Bryne soonish although that is thankfully at a weekend.

ps. I've got that feeling there was something else I wanted to mention but I can't remember what it was now lol. :-)
