Wizards @ MindSay

SPOILER ALERT: Those who do not wish to know what happens to the characters after the book ends should not read the following

Rowling said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort.

Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children -- James, Albus and Lily -- while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.

Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third person of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children -- Rose and Hugo.

Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

And what Muggle, or non-wizard, song would have been played at the funeral of Albus Dumbledore, the most brilliant and talented wizard the world had ever known?

"Surely 'I Did It My Way' by Frank Sinatra," Rowling told her fans, referring to the song "My Way," written by Paul Anka but popularized by Sinatra, among other singers.

Okay, I'm facing up to the fact that I'm a closet sci-fi fan.  I've tried to deny it, but alas, all the signs are there.  Although I don't like all sci-fi stuff (No Star Trek thank-you), I do tend to lean towards the magical relm of science fiction.  What are my favorite movies?  Well lets look at some of them: Star Wars 1-6; Harry Potter 1-4; Underworld 1&2, and let's not forget josiejunk's favorite of mine Bad Boys II...hmm is there a recurring theme here?

 

I've also written my first letter to a network in support of renewing a show for a second season.  It is Sci-Fi's The Dresden Files, based on the novels by Jim Butcher.  I happened to watch the show on a whim and it was really good, so I picked up the books and have read 6 so far.  I've seen the all of the Season One episodes of The Dresden Files, and they are all entertaining.  Plus Paul Blackthorne plays Harry Dresden, and he is HOT.  He's 6' 4", dark hair and dark eyes - ruggedly handsome.  He's English, but uses an American accent on the show.  (Too bad, the English accent is way hotter).  Just 'google' him ladies, you'll see what I'm talking about!

 

I've also read all the Harry Potter books.  In high-school I read all of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches' series and a few of The Vampire Chronicals.  But I never did get into shows like Buffy or Angel and I don't watch Stargate - I guess I have very particular tastes when it comes to what sci-fi I do like.

 

I did pick up a couple of Tanya Huff's books, because I saw a review that said if you like Huff, then you would really like Jim Butcher's novels - I figured the opposite would be true as well.

Tracing through 3 or 4 blogs, I forget where I started but I ended up at mrsminer  's blog.  It was 120% my speed, she got my juices flowing so I took the time to reply, it did take a little while but I enjoyed every second of it, this is the kind of abstract alphanumeric meaning of what you desire.
