Harry Potter Blog Tour: The Half-Blood Prince

Today I am absolutely OVER THE MOON to share with you guys some exclusive and exciting content as part of the Harry Potter blog tour. As you all know, Bloomsbury have recently released some absolutely gorgeous new covers (I'm in love, seriously) and I'm so honoured to be a part of their promotion! This blog post is about all things Half-Blood Prince, Jonny Duddle and Sarah J. Maas! I think these covers are absolutely mind-blowing. I can't stop looking at them and would love to know what you guys think. If you want to know why Harry Potter means so much to me, please have a read here!

When Dumbledore arrives a Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort’s darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

If you have ever asked yourself where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence or why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their robes, you need Quidditch Through the Ages.

HPM: J. K. Rowling's New Pottermore Content

Hey guys! I've made a vlog for you today of a reading of the latest content that Queen Rowling has posted on Pottermore - we get a glimpse at what life is like for the 30 year old Harry! Please excuse my fussing in the video, apparently I can't read off a screen and sit still at the same time.

 Hope you enjoy :).

What did you guys think of Rowling's new piece? 

Are you as excited as I am about it?

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - J. K. Rowling

It is the summer holidays, and one night Harry Potter wakes up with his scar burning. He has had a strange dream, one that he can't help worrying about...until a timely invitation from Ron Weasley arrives: to nothing less than the Quidditch World Cup!

Soon Harry is reunited with Ron and Hermione and gasping at the thrills of an international Quidditch match. But then something horrible happens which casts a shadow over everybody, and Harry in particular...

REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J. K. Rowling

Harry Potter, along with his best friends, Ron and Hermione, is about to start his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry can't wait to get back to school after the summer holidays. (Who wouldn't if they lived with the horrible Dursleys?) But when Harry gets to Hogwarts, the atmosphere is tense. There's an escaped mass murderer on the loose, and the sinister prison guards of Azkaban have been called in to guard the school...

The Day I Met J. K. Rowling!

First of all, ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! That was frickin' amazingggggg!!! I honestly feel so unbelievably honoured to have had the chance to meet one of the biggest figures and influences of my childhood. Such a lovely, down to earth, honest woman! I don't even know where to start with this post and what to tell you guys, I'm still shaken by the event itself even though it was on Friday.

I think I'll start off with showing you guys the small amount of (not great quality) photos that I have :). We weren't allowed to take photographs during the actual interview itself but were allowed to snap a few before and after. I was disappointed but then again totally sympathetic. I can imagine it would get quite annoying after awhile. ANYWAY, photos:

I have a few things to share with you guys about her plans, I don't want to do the blog post without a few of the pictures I managed to snap! They didn't allow us to snap any during the event :( sniffffff. Eeeek excited to share all with you guys!
