nineteen.

we just got back from a visit to the doctor.

homegirl is growing right on schedule.

six pounds and a quarter.

there is a 

s i x p o u n d

human living inside my belly.

how weird is nature?

cory asked me to "make a normal face."

this was the result. i'm hopeless.

i also set up our last appointment

before she hops on out and joins the party.

it's weird to think that we are two appointments away

from meeting this little girl.

after two more appointments,

little cries and coos will bounce around our little home.

blankets and diapers and tiny socks will litter our floors.

i will be exhausted and will probably forget to shower,

but i will be happy.

two appointments

and i will finally be everything i ever wanted to be.

the kind of face only a ginger could love.

p.s. eight days. 

t-minus 5:04:13

that's it.

i'm done.

it's time.

excuse me while i cry. 

t-minus 8:47:03

i realize it's been a lot.

perhaps too much,
 especially on the day the whole world is posting about this,

but i can't not.

sure, i could have summed it up in one post, 

but that would have been too easy
and i kept finding things i wanted to share. 

let's be honest,
 there's enough stuff floating around the interweb
i could blog about harry potter for the rest of my life and not repeat anything.

whether you've only seen the movies,

 read the books once,

read the books hundreds of times,

or refuse to see/hate the movies,

harry potter has been a part of your life.

 i'm not trying being dramatic,

but i can't help but feel my childhood officially ending.

the waiting is done.

the end is here.

today it's over.

t-minus 9:59:59

if only they'd picked a better picture to put on this shirt.

guess i'll just have to make my own.

wicka whhhat?!

"i'll bring the brrrrrrreewwww..."

if you felt out of the loop when they mentioned part one,

watch this and get in the loop. 

t-minus 12:37:15

it would be a sin if i did not include this video.

it's one of my favorites.

sometimes i do the "harry potter freak out" dance
at parties, or in my room

you should give it a go.

it's a move everyone should have in their repertoire.

t-minus 13:59:09

i know he's gone, but it's still sad.

any time i see anything regarding sirius,

i think of this song.

and how when they started playing at the concert

everyone was silent for the beginning

and just listened.

"there's one thing that i've got,

one thing that you've got inside you too,

one thing that we've got. 

and the one thing we've got is enough to save us all.

the weapon we have is love."

t.minus. 14:22:31

!!!!!!it's here!!!!!!

seeing as how today is the final day,

i've decided to go a little overboard.

and by a little i mean a lot.
like seven posts.
yes it may seem a little excessive,
but if voldemort can make seven horcruxes,
i'm pretty sure i can write seven posts.
***please note***
no lives will be lost/taken/destroyed in the making of these posts. 

i'm sure you've seen this floating around,

but i wanted to save it for the end.

it took all i had not to post it on the first day.

but i saw it fitting seeing as how it's technically coming out on friday

and other than prime day, this is the best parody i've seen.

voldemort,

voldemort 

sucks!!

one.

the best part of this video,
aside from the d-man dancing
and the fact that it's the first one i've found
that doesn't make me cry,
 is ron at 1:22.
i've skipped to that part at least five times now. 

it's a number two,
it's a number two!

two.

when the movies first came out,

there was a lot of speculation about off-screen romances.

mostly between emma and every other boy on set.

emma and daniel.

look at the lovebirds, 

whispering little jokes to each other on the red carpet. 

who on earth would dance/make faces like that {beside me} unless they were dating the person?  

that is true love people.

also, please note daniel has his hands out as if to say,

"emma, please.  you're embarrassing me..."

 it's obvious by the way she is leaning on daniel that they're together.

you can tell by the pained look on rupert's face, he's heart broken. 

sidenote: emma watson never had an "awkward" phase growing up.
life is just not fair. 

 and here we have the lean again, but this time on the red carpet! 

but it's okay, because rupert's gettin down with the cho-ster. 

there ain't nothin like pda and pdr.

{public displays of rebound}. 

 even at a young age, they understood their responsibility

as the "first couple" of the wizarding world. 

emma and rupert.

**author's note:  i have always, always been on team rupert.

if you're not on team rupert,

 i hope this is the picture that converts you.**

emma's gettin a liiittle cozy with mister ginger

and he's loving it.

take that 'arry!!

miss watson is a huge fan of the lean.

we can tell by the way she's angled her body it's rupert time.

bow chicka wow wow.

 hand placement switch-a-roo in the same photoshoot!!!!

oh the drama that must have happened.

we can only guess who she was truly with at this point in life. 

so hip. so cool.

so matchy-matchy. 

she's probably just asking him if there's food in her teeth.

that's love people.

also, can we please have a moment of silence for that dress?

it's beautiful. 

they will be in love.

forever and ever and ever. 

emma and tom. 
enter emma's rebel phase.
hookin up with hp's designated "bad boy"
and showing that midriff like a boss.

 she was obviously more into him than he was into her.
doesn't he look so fancy holding this beverage?

  i take it back!
draco was aaaaaall over that!!!

 there weren't that many pictures of tom and emma,
but it's okay because there are some die-hard psychic fans out there
who know how it all ends.

pardon the picture overload.

i just have to make up for the fact 

blogger deleted every.single.picture i had on this blog.

three.

last night i was told i was not cut out to be a gryffindor.

instead, my "brother" told me i was a hufflepuff.

my

heart 

broke.

i was born to be a gryffindor.

it's where i belong.

it's where the hat sorted me.

alas, 

i am much too sad to write a decent post

for the seven days of potter.

so i will just leave you with this:

proof that i am in fact a gryffindor. 

sidenote: i will accept you no matter your house 

and pinky promise not to doubt where you have been sorted.

four.

each day,

the end becomes more real.

"we always knew we were coming back,
and this time, we knew we weren't."

i have yet to find a video

that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. 

five.

last night i watched 

harry potter and the sorcerer's stone

with papa and sass.

i had completely forgotten how little everyone used to be

and how ridiculous malfoy's hair was.

so today's seven days of potter
is dedicated to draco malfoy's hair.

======================
the sorcerer's stone introduced us
to the famous slicked back, sexy look that started it all.

but plain blonde wasn't good enough for the chamber of secrets,
so d-money was given platinum roots and pee colored locks.
spiicy.

in the prisoner of azkaban, draco showed us how true rebels did their hair.

because, let's be honest, 

nothing says, "i'm a bad boy" like greasy hair hanging down your face.

when it comes to the goblet of fire,

the only hair worth highlighting belongs to my favorite gingers. 

looking at it now it's a bit out of control,

but i think it's this hair that made me fall in love with rupert.

{i know...but i was young and it was cool.}

on the other hand,

this.....not so sexy. 

there was too much of this

going in the order of the phoenix to get a proper reading on draco's hair,

and this was the best picture of him i could find. 

as you can tell, we've stuck with the greasy forehead-do 

and even inspired a fellow classmate to bleach their hair.

i also may have gotten a little carried away with paint...

in the half-blood prince, 

draco decides to class it up a bit with a side-part and shorter cut. 

in order to keep his bad-boy persona, he messes the front as if to say, 

"yeah, i own a brush, but sometimes i don't use it. what nooooow?" 

in part one,

we see a receding hairline and a return to the slicked hair.

granted it's not as bad as it was originally, but, it's getting old. 

in conclusion,

 i think it's safe to say that no matter the style, 

draco is a fan of the super blonde and greasy. 

aaaaaaand

for those of you who are semi-crushing on malfoy

but wish his hair wasn't so bleached

and his skin wasn't so pale

so you could fully-crush on him, 

i present to you a fake-baked, normal-haired version. 

...yeeeaaahhhh...

i am proud to say this is one blonde i am not attracted to.

which, given my curse, is kind of a big deal 

six.

no words.

just tears.

seven.

because of my absence,

i wasn't able to do a full twelve days,

so we'll just have to go with seven.

{yes, i realize it's technically eight days, 

but, 11:59 on the fourteenth is the latest i'm willing to wait}. 

introducing....

the seven days of potter.

i shall dedicate a post each day to my beloved wizarding friends.

for today we shall discuss the evolution mr. neville longbottom.

it's truly amazing what a few years and a good orthodontist can do. 

riiight?!?!!?

bow chicka wow WOOOOOW. 

but srsly...

can someone please tell me when he got so good looking?

two hundred points to anna 
for posting this sexy man on the facebooker.
