Potterpuff Cookies!
Let me tell you a little story. (Bear with me if you've perhaps heard it before. Stay for the cookies!)
There was this boy, see?
His name was Harry Potter.
And one day, a half-giant came to tell him he was really a wizard! He bought him a sweet little owl, too. :-)
So then he headed off to a wizard school which was founded a long time ago by four amazing wizards & witches.
He needed to learn more about his magic & powers to try to beat the evil wizard who killed his parents and tried to even kill him!
He had a bunch of teachers, but four teachers were the Heads of all the different Houses at the school.
And the school was run by a wise old teacher with a firey phoenix.
And Harry was Sorted into Gryffindor House, where he had classmates with runaway pet frogs. :-)
But despite the nice classmates, Harry found himself with enemies, too - specifically from Slytherin House.
It wasn't really their fault, of course. They were raised by prejudiced, evil Slytherin parents, too. :-/
And those parents plotted to take down the Muggleborn (that means "from non-magical parents") students in the school. They released the Dark Lord's evil snake-y thing & killed students. (Oh no!)
And then later, they also tried to get Hagrid & his lovable hippogriff removed from the school & killed. :-(
But two of the older students showed him how to misbehave a special map that would allow him to outsmart the evil baddies & save Buckbeak (the hippogriff).
And can you believe it? That special map was actually made by Harry's own father & his friends, way back when they were in wizard school!
That poor young boy they were torturing grew up to be a sullen, angry teacher. ("Always.")
Oh, and while Harry was in school, he played a neat sport called Quidditch. The girl he was crushing on was really good at Quidditch, too.
A kind, ditzy girl once refereed a Quidditch game, much to the chagrin of Professor McG.
And remember Harry's enemy? Yeah, he got really mad during most Quidditch games.
But a crazy Professor put him in his place real quick. ;-)
And there's a whole heckuva LOT more story, but I don't want to spoil much more. It's just so fun to read about Harry & his best friends.
And cue John Williams' "Hedwig's Theme"...
But here's the really exciting part! These cookies were made to celebrate the very first International Harry Potter Day, and also to raise money for a cause that's very close to me. You see, my sweet, sweet friend Erin has been raising money for a cause that his VERY dear to her own heart: epilepsy. Her own sweet Tommy is 2 years old & suffers from epileptic seizures. She & her friends have been raising money for the Greater Chicago Epilepsy Foundation 5K Walk/Run this weekend, and I wanted to help. I'm donating these cookies in nine different sets for auction, and you could bid to support "Tommy's Team!" All donations will go straight to his cause, and you can even chip in directly on his page if you're not interested in cute HP cookies.
Here's a list of the separate auctions we're running. (You'll need to click on the photo to be taken to the separate auction page for all details.) Please pick a set of HP characters you love & bid to support little Tommy! THANK YOU!

By the way, if you are like me & think that "Potterpuffs" are just the CUTEST drawings you've ever seen, please go over & check out all of Naomi's work over at PotterPuffs Central (her old journal of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92) potterpuffs has defunct picture links). She no longer draws these characters, but there is a vast collection of her past commissions, and they are all adorable! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your help spreading the word. These cookies need to go to good homes!

Original Post: Dumbledore Quote shirt
 
"No one should be forced to live in the cupboard</b>
I came up with this idea for making shirt designs because I really wanted a shirt that showed off my love of Harry Potter in a cool, pretty way, but also my stance on gay rights.
I hope you guys remember my Dumbledore quote shirt? Under the cut:
( Image under the cut )
So, I've made a bunch of new ones! Including two that aren't Harry Potter references (Alice in Wonderland & Monty Python) and a generic Hogwarts one (it's glows-in-the-dark!!) but no matter what, I'm giving 50% of the commission I earn to http://www.freedomtomarry.org/ **And as of today, I've earned $56, so that's $28 to Marriage Equality!! lol, it looks pathetic, but maybe it'll motivate buyers??? And the other half is just enough to cover this new shirt (so I could check the quality) (and have it, lol).
Click here for the shop!
You may remember my post/poll asking for preferences (poll's still open), so I made this one is modern-y vector-y and comes with 3 interchangeable colours, and the other is painted by me and a pixel graphic printed on the shirt.
It's come out really, really well - I ordered it and waited for it to arrive before I posted it to check the quality of the print on a darker material, and it's great!! I have some close-ups under the cut:
( IT'S SO PREEEEEETY... )
I've also made hoodies and randomly different colours available, and I can really make anything you want available - just let me know. I can also easily do any other quote or colour scheme.
HERE ARE SNAPS OF THE OTHER NEW DESIGNS I'VE MADE:
Glow-in-the-dark Hogwarts! In lots of t-shirt and print colours - including the Houses!! click here
******
 
I can make it say something else instead of "MUGGLE", but ya gotta ask for it! click here for item available
******
Quote from Maurice, and the super subtle HP reference with "Unspeakables" and them being the coolest of all. lol. It also comes with white text for black/dark shirtsclick here for the tank top - I'll add proper t-shirts in a sec.
******
( Two non-Harry Potter Shirts under the cut... )
So! I reeeeeally hope you like the new stuff as well as the original shirt, and if you want something else or to put the design on something else, let me know! And if you don't want one, but know someone who does? Here's something to copy & paste if you want:
Click here for the shop!!! :D
Comments? Love it? Hate it? Complaints? Let me know how to make this better.
Love, Jamie

We’ll have daily prompts and some challenges within the challenge. Of course, you don’t have to use them (yeah we’re easy that way… probably in other ways too). All HP pairings are welcome; we would like couples, threesomes (or moresomes) because love and lust are in the air. p**n without plot? Perfect! Thirty-one attempts to get Severus out on a date? Great! A weekly serial? Go for it! Thirty-one long plotty installments? Oh yeah! Join in, we’d love to have everyone! *a little voice whispers…come on you know you want to*

Fan Fiction
Hey everyone,
I have s fanfictions. one is a Hermione/Snape drama and the other Hermione/Luna with a side of Neville/George. Would anyone be interested in reading them?
Watching "Breaking Dawn"
For those who liked my essay comparing Harry Potter to Twilight, I just wrote up my experience sitting through "Breaking Dawn" on DVD. You can read it here. Warning to younger readers, some bad language is involved.
And yes, copious amounts of whiskey were involved. Like you even need to ask?
Hello everyone! :)
I have a request. Could you recommend me any Harry Potter/Doctor Who fics? I want some canonical stuff but with a bit of Time Lords and Harry being one. Any fics are truly welcome, but these with TimeLord!Harry will be really really appreciated.
Cheers!
Pottermore community
Is there any active and serious Pottermore community for Pottermore members (all houses) on LiveJournal? you know for sharing experiences and talks about stuff going on on Pottermore.
If not, is someone willing to create one?
Harry Potter Support Pins
I thought I'd share the pins I've made with a community that might appreciate them. They are for sale, and I don't know how the Mods feel about promoting, but I thought that, with Pottermore finally up and running for the most part, maybe people would like one!
Harry Potter Support pins are based of of support ribbons that you would see for cancers and other organizations. These, however, are pased on your support for the four houses of Hogwarts; Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw! Each pin is made of sculpey clay and glued to a standard pin backing with E6000 industrial glue, so they shouldn’t fall apart!. Please be as careful with them as you would with any pin, as things that are small and thin are easily broken sometimes! Prices: 1 pin @ 7$ 2 pins @ 10$ 4 pins (all four houses) @ 15$
To order the pins of your color or commission others, please, contact me at mazarinefennec@yahoo.com, my tumblr blog mfsplendors.tumblr.com or a personal message!
