How Harry Potter Should Have Ended



Hello Nerdlings,

I found this funny version of how the Harry Potter series really should have ended.
There is a whole series of videos on how many movies should have ended created by HISHE.
I would recommend the Twilight version! I loved watching this video it hope you enjoy it too!

(P.S Make sure you watch until the very end because there is more video at the end!)

Nerdling's Trip to the Harry Potter Exhibition


Hello,
As you already know from one of my previous posts, I am a massive Harry Potter fan! A couple of months ago my parents surprised me with a trip to Sydney to see the Harry Potter exhibition!
Going to the Harry Potter was one of the best experiences of my life! It was incredible to be in arm’s length of the costumes and props for the movies! Apart from objects from the movies, they also had two activities in which visitors can throw a Quaffle into Quiddich hoops and pull squealing mandrakes out of pots.
Once you are in the main queue, you have a photo taken in front of a green screen inside a gold frame. Once your group has come to the front, a staff member- usually hired for their native British accent-recites the rules (No photographs, No touching things, No using portkeys/apparition) and you are allowed in.
You do not have to rush; you can take your time because you do not need to be out at a certain time! But once you enter the shop you cannot go back into the exhibition. In the shop they had wands, clothing, jewelry (time turners), object replicas from the movies, pins, ‘Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans’ (they don’t really have every flavour), etc.
I came home with Luna Lovegood’s wand and a 24 carat gold plated time turner replica of Hermionie’s time turner in ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’.

Guardian open journalism: Three Little Pigs advert - the Guardian



Hello again,

Someone emailed me this video. I really liked it because it shows how news can get to people really quickly these days with our more advanced technology. People don't just hear or see news, They feel it. The news can spark emotion in the larger amounts of people creating debates, discussions and blogs/forums.
This is how we connect; we share ideas, we show our feelings on a particular topic.
I share these videos I enjoy to my views (if I have any) so they can enjoy themselves as well. I like spreading good feeling throughout large quantities of people with just one thing. It makes me feel as if I have changed the world in a way, doesn't matter how small, making it a better place.

Ed Sheeran - Lego House (Official Video)



Hello once again,
I was told by a friend to have a look at the music video for the song, ‘Lego House’ by Ed Sheeran.
Knowing I am the BIGGEST Harry Potter fan, she told me I should watch it because Rupert Grint (AKA Ron Weasley) is the main star of the film. I LOVED IT!!! The video is of Rupert lip-syncing the song. It is an entertaining video especially if you are a Harry Potter fan or a Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) fan.

I hope you enjoy this clip,
Nerdling
