Jamie-fan fiction at is best

Seriously?

A side point: Because this is still an earlier post I will refrain from spelling "seriously" as "Sirius-ly." "Haha you are so witty Sam" I'm sure many of my well versed Potterheads are saying; however, for my less fortunate readers, this is funny, or rather punny, because Harry's godfather's name is Sirius Black.

Which brings me to my next point: I will start every blog with some fact about the series. Readers, please do not argue with me I have read the books time o' plenty- and if you think I have something wrong-for example reference a character mentioned only in the books and not in the movies-please I urge you to pick up the books.

And now for some content.
As I'm sure I have made obvious by now, I am a HUGE HP fan (we call ourselves "Potterheads"), and therefore cannot imagine how people find flaws with the Queen (JK Rowling)'s masterpieces. However in my research I have found people who will argue otherwise; saying that the series and the fanatics it has created are flawed....SIRIUS-ly?
While I may disagree with them, I look forward to doing more research on opposers-Death Eaters I shall call these 'opposers'-opinions.

That's all for now...

Preliminary bibliorgraphy

Though only a few days into my research I have, much to my delight, sources which greatly contribute to my topic: Harry Potter's impact on children's reading. Though the idea is broad I hope through extensive research I will be able to draw some sort of novel conclusion.
So, although I am lacking some of the "required" sources, here it is:

http://burkeanreflections.blogspot.com/2007/07/harry-potter-having-limited-effect-on.html

These links all contain some sort of essential information in the progress of this research. Some say there is a negative effect and some a positive one-and I can't wait till I decide which it truly is (hopefully my bias won't be too much of a factor.)

Thesis hopefully coming sometime in the ensuing days.

I am a liar

After not being content with the idea of writing about MCS I have chosen a new topic: Harry Potter and its influence on children's reading habits.

So middle child syndrome it is.
The question is: what's the question...

I've got it!
Number 2. For the past 14, almost 15 years of my life I've been number 2. Is it a real thing, or rather just some psychological happening that only happens to us. So here it goes-Is "Middle Child Syndrome" real?

Raniel Dosen and the Second Blog Post

Because I still have nothing of substance to write for my "leads" project (random person in Scandanvia who follows me: any ideas?) I will now continue discussing the Harry Potter topic which I presented in 1st blogpost. Upon receiving indication that his prized student Lord Samuel, had created a blog, my teacher, who shall be known from here on in as Raniel Dosen (for security purpi [the plural of purpose]), read the first entry. He sat by his computer bewildered by what he had just read; he smiled at points though unsure why-"surely it was humorous," scratched his head at others-"is my prized student really that into Harry Potter," and disappointed at most-"still nothing to write about, common!" Mr. Dosen then approached me about this obsession "you think you're funny don't you, well to me you're just messed up. You should see a doctor." Truthfully I just wanted to be entertaining and write about something I'm passionate about.
Hey! thats an idea maybe ill write about humor...TBD
