I was thinking the other day just what I could possibly blog on related to Harry Potter. Not that I couldn’t ramble on for hours on end about it. What with theories and fanfiction and the ever aggregating news feed we could all rant until we were blue in the face if given the proper outlet. With so much to talk on, where do I start? More importantly, how can I keep it interesting? Well keeping you intrigued should be simple enough. You see faithful reader (bit pretentious, I know, but play...

We do not need magic to change the world, we...

It all stared as a pretty cool idea, and seemed simple enough - 'Hey lets make an online version of the Quibbler and we'll put it in a book form so you can turn the pages!' That's like Thomas Edison saying "The heck with light bulbs - I'm going for fission reactors!" The fact of the matter is I have never done anything remotely like a newspaper, and my Flash knowledge is about enough to get me into serious trouble. That should have been a warning. But as the saying goes in my neck of...
