Oh, mollywobbles23, that was beautiful! It brought me to tears to read how HP brought you and your father closer together. May your memories bring you peace forevermore.
Thestrals by mollywobbles23 was an amazing composition! It was beautiful yet heart-wrenching. I’m glad Jo wrote her last book quick enough for your father to read the series for the last time. It seems HP was a huge part in both of your lives. May he rest in peace, and may you treasure Harry Potter and your father’s memories forever.
Beautiful work from all three of you! Specially mollywobbles23, what you wrote proves that some fanatisms aren’t bad at all. Congratulations to the winners!
Guys! Those were amazing. The drawing had me laughing aloud and get funny looks from my family; the video reduced me to tears (getting more looks from my family); and mollywobbles23….That was absolutly beautiful. Your peice of writing left me breathless. Amazing work. It’s wonderful that your dad and you were so close.
Mollywobles23 I am sorry you have to see Thestrals but I am glad you had the time you did to enjoy HP with your dad. He is probably watching the filming of HBP and thinking of how much you will love it. Save a seat for him when you get to the theater for HBP he will be with you.
StarRose-Your video was touching. I will always keep a part of HP with me. In a year of darkness HP was my light. Your song choice was so perfect.
I adore all three of these. The video was breathtaking, Rudi’s entry was funny and I really loved the fighting spoilers! The written piece is touching.
That drawing is really funny! And I’m watching the video right now, it looks wonderful. I mollywobbles23 that was very touching. it is wonderful you got the chance to experience it all with you dad, I’m sure those are experiences you’ll never forget.
Great job everyone! Mollywobbles23, your essay was deeply moving. I’m so sorry your father passed away, but am happy to hear that he was able to experience such joy in the Potter series and that you could share that joy with him.
Oh, mollywobbles23, that was beautiful! It brought me to tears to read how HP brought you and your father closer together. May your memories bring you peace forevermore.
