Harry Potter Moment and a Special Birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday, Robyn!!

About Robyn:

I laugh when people fall down. It's a glitch in my programming, but even my mom has suffered this quirk. I have a BA in Studio Art from the University of Puget Sound. My boys make me laugh every day. I steal pens; I try real hard not to. I collect those free bookmarks at the checkout counter at libraries. I've had more stitches than anyone I know. I love stories; writing them, reading them, watching them. You can email me at robgirlbooks@gmail.com.

This is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts.The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/ films/ J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! She is picking a topic within HP for us to focus on each week and then if anyone wants to take part feel free! All she asks is to link back to her blog :). There is now a full list of the topics to come here.

Favorite Character:

Luna Lovegood

Man, I soooooo wish that I had time to do a picture because Luna is the absolute perfect person for me to have such a fun time drawing. Especially with that lion hat ROARING on her head. This girl is so funny. I laughed at her quirkiness, I cried a little at the part in the story where Harry saw their names with 'friends' written around her room, and I cheered for her when she kicked some butt. I don't think I've ever wanted good things to happen for a character as much as I want Luna to have the fantastic life she deserves. Is that weird? Maybe I love her so much because I've always been weird and embraced it. When I was in Middle School, I won 'Most Likely to Succeed' and in the yearbook picture I had a huge smiley face painted on my cheek. It's name was Giggles. To be fair, I was dressed appropriately the day before, but the teacher 'didn't have film in the camera'. Really, she just didn't like me and thought she had found a way to embarrass me. I wasn't fazed. But back to Luna, my absolute favorite part was when she commentated the Quidditch game.

Quotes:

“You can laugh! But people used to believe there were no such things as the Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack!”

“I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up - it always does in the end.”

“Oh no, I'd love to go with you as friends!" said Luna, beaming as he had never seen her beam before. "Nobody's ever asked me to a party before, as a friend! Is that why you dyed your eyebrow, for the party? Should I do mine, too?”

"Oh … well …" she shrugged. "I think they think I'm a bit odd, you know. Some people call me 'Loony' Lovegood, actually."

Quidditch Commentary

"And that's Smith of Hufflepuff with the Quaffle," said a dreamy voice, echoing over the grounds. "He did the commentary last time, of course, and Ginny Weasley flew into him, I think probably on purpose, it looked like it. Smith was being quite rude about Gryffindor, I expect he regrets that now he's playing them? Oh, look, he's lost the Quaffle, Ginny took it from him, I do like her, she's very nice. ..."

Harry stared down at the commentator's podium. Surely nobody in their right mind would have let Luna Lovegood commentate? But even from above there was no mistaking that long, dirty-blonde hair, nor the necklace of butterbeer corks. . . . Beside Luna, Professor McGonagall was looking
slightly uncomfortable, as though she was indeed having second thoughts about this appointment.

". . . but now that big Hufflepuff player's got the Quaffle from , her, I can't remember his name, it's something like Bibble? no, Buggins?"

"It's Cadwallader!" said Professor McGonagall loudly from beside Luna. The crowd laughed.
