Happy birthday!!

Thanks you all!! I hope you guys have a great day also!

I think honestly, the biggest thing that fuels Frollo caring for Quasimodo is a mix of guilt and self righteousness. A large part of the character is driven to be seen as a righteous man, and yet he acts on much darker urges. We see this in the scene "Hellfire" where he blames Esmeralda for the fact...

If you ever want to make this a book club in the family, I wouldn't mind reading this with you. I actually read the first and I think the second novel in the series a few years ago, but it also left me quiet unsettled. But when I went on to look, it's actually 5 book series, which feels fairly daunt...

Maybe I've just missed it, but I wouldn't mind a class on the animagus process or maybe talking about famous shapeshifters in mythology and folklore. I've been off and on about finding the topic of shapeshifters fascinating and I've been having a low-key fascination with selkies for the last year or...

Well, let's look at Merryweather's personality a bit. She's a bit more feisty than her two fellow fairies, and she seems pretty quick to argue. She's also the first to want to grab the wands on Aurora's 16th birthday. She also took out one of Maleficient's goons before he could warn her of their com...

Hahaha...I don't do sports...like at all. Actually, I joke. I don't do sports now, and I've never considered myself a sporty person, but there was this one PE teacher when I was in elementary school who had at least to me, an innovative idea. For each little block of time (I can't remember if it was...

Happy Birthday Dario!!!

Well, I'm apparently trying for overachieving Badger this year, because on top of OWLS, I've signed up for all of these:

Chinese Festivals
Disney Studies: The Classics
Musicals Through The Ages
Word Magic
Harry Potter Studies: The Dwellings

I feel like my three wishes would be pretty basic. My first wish would be to be a millionaire WITHOUT anyone knowing. I don't want to live a lavish life, but I would love to not have to worry about money in the first place. Thus the secrecy. I would find a good accountant, have them help me get up s...

Hi there, I'm Amy Darvill. I'm a fifth year Hufflepuff Prefect and Student Teacher. I teach Lesser Known Characters of Harry Potter, which is on loan to me from Emily Spencer. Outside of HOL, in the real world, I'm a retail deli lead in a grocery store and have been there for 5 years also. So whatev...

Title: What Moves the Dead Author: T. Kingfisher Genre: Horror of a Gothic bent and a squint to see it fantasy bend. Also a retelling of a classic (The Fall of the House of Usher) Series: yes, a duology which I literally just found out when setting out to write this review. Age Rating: YA? There's t...

My goals for this year are...

• Pass six OWLS

• Pass 10 classes this year

• Earn 3,00 points

• Write the Class for Next Term

• Host 1 HOL-Wide Event

• Contribute to the Howler at least once

It depends, but I typically use a name generator to come up with names. But even with that, I seldom take a name and just paste it. I'll usually take the last name from one and the first name from another choice. And usually I'll adjust the spelling to something that's easy for me to remember. But I...

I have been playing Sims since they were first coming out. (Yep, I remember Sims 1, though not super well!) So I'm used to jumping to the next game as soon it comes out, but I don't think I will this time. To be fair, there's only rumors and speculations about Sims 5, and so my opinion could change....

Blake, I just wanted to comment that reading your post actually made me remember how I felt when I used to do beading and jewelry making. So thanks for making me remember that time in my life.

I’ve taken notes in real life classes, but I usually have the homework and the assignment open in separate tabs so I can review. What my HOL notebook has the most of is tryping to figure out the unscramble puzzles. Or if I’m doing an essay assignment, I might write down notes of my thoughts while I’...

Our newest resident in my household, Kemi the cat, is obsessed with getting belly rubs. But only on the rugs in the houses. She’ll speed through the room or the house until she reaches the rug, and flip over and meows like crazy. Actually, she’s quite a talky cat but I find it mostly adorable. Unles...

Amy Darvill here and ready to spin!
