Do you love Harry Potter? Do you love Potter Puppet Pals? Do you wish you had more great spoofs to watch and love? If yes (and frankly why wouldn't your answer be yes), you need to watch the Starkid musical productions of Harry Potter. They are absolutely hilarious and a whole lot of fun.

That said, please be advised there's plenty of cursing and sexual references.

A Very Potter Musical:

The play is a combination of several books--predominately books 1 and 4. Harry Potter goes back for his second year at Hogwarts where wackiness is the norm and trouble not too far behind it. Voldemort is determined to get his body back and Professor Quirrell is the man to help him do it.

A Very Potter Sequel:

In the sequel, Lucius Malfoy comes up with a brilliant plan to get back at Harry Potter. If he and the Death Eaters can't change the present/future then they will have to change the past. Their object? To kill Harry Potter before he goes into second year. This play mostly combines books 3 and 5. You'll never guess who plays Dolores Umbridge.

Will there be a third musical? I can only hope! Enjoy.

Today Captain Yarr, Cook Cutlery, and myself went to Islands of Adventure thinking it would be a normal everyday experience. We’ve been breaking in our newly bought season passes and exploring the park while waiting for June 18 to come for the launch of Harry Potter World. Imagine our surprise when we entered the main gates and a man who worked there loudly called out – “Go see Harry Potter while it’s open!”

They were doing a soft preview and of course we didn’t bring a camera so we have no pictures from inside Harry Potter World, but we do have a scanned copy of our trip to the Three Broomsticks and our shared Butterbeer. We got only one because we weren’t sure we’d like it (which was silly because of course we LOVED it). It comes two ways: frozen like a slushie or cold with whip cream foam on top. We had heard from a group of Potter fans that the whip cream version was their favorite (unanimously) and so that’s what we got. Drinking Butterbeer and getting foam mustaches would make a great photo!

During the soft preview they kept traffic in the stores under control by having people queue and only letting in a handful at a time. I’m not sure how they’ll handle the opening launch because there really aren’t places to queue around the stores. Because we were unprepared for the soft preview, we hadn’t any cash in which to splurge on wizarding goods so we decided to skip the stores and head for the rides. The lines were fairly short because of all the queuing around the shops so we got to ride several times.

If you don’t want to be spoiled on what the rides were like, skip the rest of this post.

The Dragon Challenge – This ride is made over from an old ride called Dueling Dragons. The new queue area is way cooler than the old because it’s been revamped to look like Harry Potter during the Triwizard Tournament. As you walk up to the main entrance there are signs and banners for each of the champions urging you to root for them. Inside the main queue area you immediately come across a round room designed to look like the inside of the tent of the first task. There’s even the Goblet of Fire with blue fire/light wafting. It’s placed high so people can’t mess with it, but the area is prime for good photos. The next queue zone has the Triwizard Cup held aloft and is another spot for photos. Past that in the next area is a cupboard containing the three golden eggs the champions rescued from their dragons. Soon after you’re asked to make a choice: Chinese Fireball or Hungarian Horntail? Why not both? That’s what we did. Both dragons run simultaneously and you are suppose to be flying on them – watch out for the near crashes! As a group, the three of us rated it an average of 8.5 out of 10. We rode it twice more.

Flight of the Hippogriff – My sister, Cook Cutlery, said it was a remastered ride that before had been about unicorns. I don't remember it, but I'll take her word for it. It’s a kiddiecoaster and more of a family ride than a ride for older people. I thought it was worth going on because before you climb the lift you get to see Buckbeak resting in his nest. Hagrid tells you to bow to him and if you’re like everyone in our group you will be doing it because it’s fun. Hagrid tells you well done and now we can fly him and then the coaster takes off. The cars are wicker baskets with the front basket having a sort of Hippogriff head on it. The ride is pretty short and on average it got 4 out of 10, but that’s because my sister’s thought they were too cool for it.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey – It’s time to go to Hogwarts now and ride the brand new ride. I can only describe it as being similar to Spiderman with the combination of real action and simulation, but upped to the next next level. We rode it twice and both times went through the single rider lane because otherwise the wait promised to be very long. From what the website says, it looks like there was another entrance to the ride that we missed because we didn’t tour Hogwarts, we just got into the ride queue. The first time we rushed through the queue and only peripherally saw the portraits and setting of the grand staircase area and didn’t stay there long enough to see anything. The second time we heard a bit of what the portraits were saying and saw the Sorting Hat. He talks and gives the safety speech before you and your party are escorted to your broomstick. From talking with others later in the day, waiting in line was just as neat because of how it was themed, so it’s really up to you how you want to go through the lines. The ride itself was AMAZING. It’s definitely my personal favorite ride at Islands of Adventure now. We gave it a perfect 10 as a group for meeting and exceeding all of our expectations. What happens is this:

Hermione casts a spell that allows Muggles to ride a wizard broomstick. Harry and Ron are going to escort us to the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor and along the way we run into Hagrid, who has lost the Hungarian Horntail of all things, which of course we find! Yikes! A swerve and a miss brings us to the Forbidden Forest and all those nasty Acromantulas – watch out they spit! Hermoine guides us out and we have a near miss with the Whomping Willow before managing to get to the Quidditch pitch where Harry wonders where we’ve been. In the race for the snitch suddenly Dementors appear and we’re following Harry to safety in and around the sides of the stadium, sort of like movie two with the rogue bludger. A dive and we’re in the Chamber of Secrets, but the Dementors have followed us and are trying to suck our souls. Luckily Harry knows his Patronus! The fight knocks out the walls and with the Chamber collapsing we have to hurry to find a safe way out. A quick flight across the Great Lake and we’re back at Hogwarts where Harry, Hermione, Ron, and other Hogwarts students cheer us on before we run into Dumbledore who gives a speech and welcomes us to come back anytime. Another swoop and we’re unbuckling from out broomsticks and getting off the ride… only to get back on of course!

We officially can’t wait for the real launch because this time we’ll bring our cameras and take pictures all over the place! By the Hogwarts Express, by Honeydukes, in Ollivander’s, of Hogwarts, of Hogsmeade, and everything in between. See you there!

Are you throwing together a Twilight Eclipse Movie Party? Are you looking for party ideas? Look no further for fun and entertaining activities, games, and favors.

Twilight Eclipse Party Activities:

Are you looking for some activities to keep your Twilight Eclipse party going? I've got just what you need to make your party a blast.

Host a Costume Contest: Make it mandatory that everyone arrive in costume. Set up a runway and have one or more persons act as official paparazzi, taking photos as everyone walks down and struts their stuff. The winner gets a free movie ticket to see Eclipse. Bonus: Load all the pictures into your computer and print off the best shot of each party goer for a souvenir. Great party favor!

Spin the Bottle: For the co-ed Twilight Eclispe Party grab an empty bottle and setup for Spin the Bottle. Keep it fun and light and for more laughter designate each person as a character from the Twilight books/movies. Who will be your Edward and Jacob? Bella, Alice, Jessica, Mike, Ben, Aros, etc? Where will the bottle land?

Bella Swan Cook-Off: Instead of preparing all the food before the party starts, keep one of your recipes back and host a Bella Swan Cook-Off. Who has the skill to quickly and correctly bake? Better yet tell your friends to bring a surprise Eclipse themed snack and do blind taste testing. The winner is the person whose dish everyone likes best. Possible prize? Give the winner a free ticket to see Eclipse.

I can't wait for Beastly to arrive in theaters. To satisfy my craving for Alex Pettyfer I've checked out some official movie stills and I totally glutted myself on the trailer and have watched it at least half a dozen times. My question now is...

Has anybody besides me notice Kyle Kingsbury's eyebrows?

They read: "Embrace Suck."

Unless of course the last letter is an 'X' or 'T' then it's "Embrace Sucx" or "Embrace Suct."  If it is an 'X' or a 'T' then it doesn't really make any sense.

Now why on earth would he have words tattooed where his eyebrows would be? Every other beastly thing about him is scarring, red, silver ridges, or nature-like. It's all abstract and lyrical. Written words not so much. The script is beautiful but what's its point?

I wonder what the thought process was behind that decision in makeup and costume. He looks very punk and part of a gang. His beastly look is far more acceptable by today's standards than the truly hairy beast Alex Flinn originally penned. If the look wasn't so artistic it wouldn't be fantastical enough to keep the modern fairytale aspect going.

But back to the subject on hand--why do you think Kyle must "Embrace Suck?"

My guess is that he must embrace his sucky character and grow up. He must become Adrian and leave petty selfish Kyle behind. That would be on par with Alex Flinn's book.

Who's counting down to July 30th? I am!

I don't know about you but 2010 has a lot of exciting things happening in the YA sphere. Here are 4 trailers that I'm over the moon about (no pun intended lol) :)

1. Linger by Maggie Stiefvater Book Trailer:

Seriously cute and well done! I love the stop animation and the fact everything was made out of floral paper.

2. Beastly by Alex Flinn Movie Trailer:

I can spot differences from the book to the movie but I think it's going to be awesome. Any clue why his eyebrows read "embrace suck"? Curious minds want to know.

3. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer Movie Trailer:

I'm going to be in another state when this comes out -- and yes I'm already scouting theaters for best location!

4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling Movie Trailer:

Unfortunately this is the best I could find - the sound is off which is why it gets silent at the end.

How about you? What's got your blood pumped?

I don't know why the price is as it is, I did not assign it. Amazon determines cost automatically from their end.

Happy New Year!!! I'm saying goodbye to 2009 and saying hello to 2010.

Instead of making a New Year's resolution I am making a reading resolution! Feel free to join me in these reading resolutions or tell me what your resolutions are if they are different.

  1. To read more for pleasure. I love reading but I get distracted really easily. Not good. :(
  2. Understand all the books I read. This means I will look up a word that I don't know either with the dictionary or asking an adult like my mom or sister what it means.
  3. To expand my reading horizon with genres I do not usually touch. Specifically nonfiction books like biographies.
  4. Finish my TBR (to be read) pile. I've noticed that lately my TBR pile has been getting a little bit bigger and bigger instead of smaller and smaller. (See 1.)
  5. To listen to more audio books. By listening to audio books more I can do more things while I have a book read to me like homework and chores. I might not get the book done faster, but I think on the whole I will because many narrators read faster than I do.
  6. Increase my reading speed. I'm not the slowest reader but I'd like to be able to read faster and still comprehend what I'm reading. I think this will happen if I just simply read more. I have no desire to be learn speed-reading.
  7. Read at least 100 books! Or more! I bet I could. I love a good challenge.
  8. To read more and stay less away from T.V, the internet, electronics, etc. It's not that I'm on the computer or watching T.V all the time but I'd be cheeking my email and then I'd just get carried away. So this resolution is to put a limit on my distractions. :)
  9. Read more in public places, like at school, to show my friends that reading is fun. Not many of them willingly pick up a book and I find this sad. I'd love to see more of my friends reading, but not by force, just by suggestion. ;)

What are your reading resolutions for this year?
