I knew it was coming, this day. This dia where the pilfered garbage known to much of the world as the Twilight saga would beat out all the other franchises, including Batman, Lord of the Rings, and, of course, our fandom of Harry Potter. According to a recently published Yahoo article, New Moon is accounting for 94% of Fandango and Movieticket.com's ticket sales as of now. This is highly disturbing, showing that humanity cannot even recognize good literature and film even when its presented to them on a silver platter, these of course being Harry Potter, the Dark Knight, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy who have all now sunk in pre-sale ticket rankings.
Thus, when the time rolls around in October 2010 when presumably the pre-sale tickets for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will be available, I urge you to purchase them! Encourage your friends, family, and loved ones. Even those who have just thought about getting into the series, make sure they go. I will not stand for these atrocious Twilight films becoming number one for many reasons which I'm sure many of you are very familiar with. Let's show those ignorant masses that our fandom is a force that they cannot toss aside. Let it be known that true literary genius will beat out the plotless, lifeless novels of Meyer any day. Fellow fans, when the time comes, represent your fandom. I know we can show them in a classy manner that Harry Potter will never die.

In these articles, I'll be taking you back in time, to when the filmes began. I'll show you how they did it and why.
First up, a quick look at the immaturity of a twelve-year-old boy.
The following is a direct quote.
"We did a lot of pranks. Once Daniel Radcliffe brought in a remote-controlled whoopee cushion. He tried it on me, but it didn't quite work. Then he tried it on someone else who was going to sit down on a massive sofa. When it went off, Chris Columbus said, 'Cut! What is that thing?' and everyone burst into laughter. Dan pulled other pranks too--like making little labels that said 'Kick me' or 'Punch me.' He would stick them on the backs of everyone who came into sight. It was really good."

Classic. Who knew that people still fall for the "Kick me" signs? I sure didn't. I'm a bit scared to think of the pranks pulled in the later years.

Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, denied that he had any plans to take over the running of the Wizarding Bank, Gringotts, when he was elected Minister for Magic five years ago. lorota, fudge has always insisted that he wants nothing mais than to "cooperate peacefully" with the guardians of our gold.
BUT DOES HE?
Sources close to the Minister have recently disclosed that Fudge's dearest ambition is to seize control of the goblin gold supplies and that he will not hesitate to use force if need be.
"It wouldn't be the first time, either," said a Ministry insider. "Cornelius 'Goblin-Crusher' Fudge, that's what his friends call him, if you could hear him when he thinks no one's listening, oh, he's always talking about the goblins and he's had done in; he's had them drowned, he's had them dropped off buildings, he's had them poisoned, he's had them cooked in pies...."
