Names Names and Bigger Parks

Because I believe that this blog is not only for the sole purpose of the LEADs project but also to express my opinions, emotions and whats-nots about who's-its I will say this: Thank You Mr Universal Studios Director Dude. For those of you who are not so in the loop I shall elaborate. Universal theme park is planning on expanding the Harry Potter section of the park YAY!!!!!!
Story time: 'twas the summer before tenth grade and I took a trip to Universal Studios Theme Park, however I had a broken collarbone and was therefore unable to go on any of the rides (sad face). However seeing the rooftop of the Hogwarts Castle my sorrow went away. I was ecstatic. Just how happy was I? Well its slightly embarrassing, but, upon walking through the gate to Hogsmead and laying my eyes on the recreation replica of the magical world (I say replica and not recreation because it is a real world) I shed a few tears, it was incredible. So yea, I'm really really excited about the expansion.

Now for the facts:
I will attempt to find derivatives for many of the names The Queen uses, and perhaps shed some light onto my readers:
Albus Dumbledore: Albus in Latin means white, and his hair in beard are white
Dolores Umbridge: Dolor in latin means pain: Umbridge, the character I find to be the most evil, seems to enjoy inflicting pain
Lord Voldemort: Vol De Mort in French means flight/theft of death, Voldemort, by creating Horcruxes, tries to escape death (and I AM LORD VOLDEMORT is obviously an anagram of Tom Marvalo Riddle)
Severus Snape: Severus is latin for severe, very fitting for Snape
Minerva McGonagall: Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, fitting for a woman of her intellegance
The list goes on and on but for the sake of not boring you I'll stop here

Now for what matters:
I think I have my thesis:
The Harry Potter series, more than any book or books before it, has had the greatest influence on children's reading habbits.

Mischief Managed...

  1. Samuel, I have to say, I am quite offended with your blogging. You have portrayed me as "a theft of death" and one who tries to escape death by using horcruxes. Very offensive indeed and I beg of you to stop reading all of J.K Rowling's muggle scum propaganda. You want to know how he got those scars? You ready to face the truth. One night I took my pet snake trick-or-treating and my super scary costume scared your father as he punched me in the nose, which unfortunately could not be repaired and had to be removed. My snake and I the fell into the Godric Hollow home and onto James Potter's wand, which malfunctioned and blasted the parents to pieces. Being the merciful person that I am, I picked up baby Harry and was about to bring him to the orphanage that I volunteer at, when the brat bit my arm and he feel out of my grasp, and hit his head on the corner of the marble table. After settling down the crying, I put the boy to sleep and transferred him to his fat turd cousins at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging. However, J.K Rowling and that old prick Dumbledore have only spread lies about me. Justice must be served and my innocence needs to be declared. I beg of you to heed my words. Keep blogging on but get the facts straight. By the way, Buy my single from SoundCloud "I Wand it that way," which some mudblood scum claim sounds like some muggle boy band. But I insist, its all original. Anyway, thanks for listening. Peace out dark lord mas.

    1. ahem excuyuhoos me it should say ***Harry's father instead of "your father". Boy did Hogwarts lack a good Language and Grammer department when I was there. All they teach are Runes? Who the bloody hell uses those except for that filthy Granger mudblood girl. Anyway, Keep Calm and Carry your Wand
