Reasons to Read Harry Potter
Sunday, December 12, 2010
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
I finally finished Chamber of Secrets this morning, (all this Christmas shopping has left me no time to sit down and read). I have to say, Chamber of Secrets is my least favorite book of the series, due to the vast number of completely unbelievable events in the story. Are we really supposed to believe that Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago when he isn't even a heir to Slytherin?
With that said, the outline to Chamber of Secrets:
Dobby - Dobby the House-elf makes his first appearance in Chamber of Secrets when he tries to save Harry Potter by preventing him from returning to Hogwarts. First, he stole all of Harry's letters during the summer to make it seem like his friends really didn't care about him, then closed the magical port that led to platform 9 3/4. during a Quidditch match, he enchanted a Bludger to chase after Harry during the game, which resulted in him breaking his arm. House-elves can only be freed when their owner gives them an article of clothing. At the end of the book, Harry places the diary into his sock and returns it to Lucius Malfoy. Lucius throws the sock aside, but Dobby catches the sock, which inadvertently frees Dobby.
The Burrow - The Burrow is the home to the Weasley family. Harry arrives at the Burrow after Fred, George, and Ron save Harry from the Dursleys, who have barred Harry's windows and locked him in his room after Dobby dropped a cake on Mrs. Mason's head. Harry and Ron would later use the car to arrive at Hogwarts after a magical barrier was placed on the platform at the train station, preventing them from taking the Hogwarts Express to school. The Burrow also has many interesting items, such as a clock that doesn't tell time but the location of every Weasley family member.
Borgin and Burkes - After using Floo Powder, Harry finds himself in a place called Borgin and Burkes located on Diagon Alley. When Lucius and Draco Malfoy enter the shop, Harry hides in an empty cabinet, which is part of a set of two Vanishing Cabinets.
Vanishing Cabinets - The cabinet in which Harry hides in at Borgin and Burkes is part of a set of two cabinets called the Vanishing Cabinets. Both of the cabinets make an appearance in Chamber of Secrets, though their actual use isn't used until Half-Blood Prince, when Draco fixed the one at Hogwarts and used it to allow Death Eaters into the school. Draco learns of the cabinet's ability to transport people after Fred and George force Montague, the Slytherin Quidditch captain and member of the Inquisitorial Squad into it when he tried to take house points from Gryffindor.
Whomping Willow - The Whomping Willow is a tree located on the grounds of Hogwarts. Ron and Harry crash into the tree with their magical car, causing Ron's wand to break. The Whomping Willow plays a relatively minor role in Chamber of Secrets, though we learn of the tunnel leading to the Shrieking Shack the tree is hiding in Prisoner of Azkaban.
Mudblood - The term Mudblood is first used in Chamber of Secrets. Mudblood is a derogatory term for a Muggle-born wizard or witch, a wizard with no wizard parents or grandparents.
Squib - A squib is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent. Squibs are different than Muggles, since they are still aware of the wizard world, for example they are able to see Hogwarts.
Moaning Myrtle - Myrtle was a Muggle-born witch who attended Hogwarts at the time of Tom Riddle and Hagrid. She was killed by Tom Riddle, through the use of Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk, when Tom Riddle created his first Horcrux, his diary. After her death, she became a ghost who haunts the second floor girl's bathroom at Hogwarts.
Parseltongue - Parseltongue is the ability to speak to snakes and it is a very rare ability amongst the wizard world. There are only a handful of people with the ability to speak to snakes, Salazar Slytherin, Lord Voldemort, and Harry Potter. During the dueling club fight between Draco and Harry, Draco uses a spell to summon a snake. The snake is about to attack Justin Filch-Finley, when Harry begins to speak Parseltongue, though Harry doesn't realize it. Of course, all the students are shocked and believe that Harry is the heir to Slytherin and opened the Chamber of Secrets.
Polyjuice Potion - Polyjuice Potion is a very complicated potion that allows the drinker to assume the form of someone else. While it can account for both age and gender, the potion cannot be used for a human to take an animal form. Ron, Harry, and Hermione use the potion to enter the Slytherin House and find out if Draco is actually the Heir of Slytherin and responsible for opening the Chamber of Secrets. Hermione transformed into a cat by mistake, since the hair she thought belonged to Millicent Bulstrode actually belonged to Millicent's cat.The potion is used throughout the series, such as in Goblet of Fire when Barty Crouch Jr. transforms himself into Madeye Moody for the entire school year. The ingredients of Polyjuice Potion are:
Armando Dippet - Armando Dippet was the Headmaster of Hogwarts fifty years ago when Tom Riddle and Hagrid were students there. Harry meets a portrait of Armando Dippet hanging in Dumbledore's office during the Order of the Phoenix.
Rubeus Hagrid - As mentioned in Sorcerer's Stone, Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts. While reading Tom Riddle's Diary, Harry views a memory of Riddle turning Hagrid in for opening the Chamber of Secrets and killing a student. In typical Hagrid fashion, Hagrid was caring for a creature in his cupboard. The headmaster believed Riddle's story and Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, though Dumbledore did convince Dippet to take Hagrid in and train him as the gamekeeper. After Hagrid is once again taken to Azkaban at the end of the book, he gives Harry and Ron advice in his hut, telling them to follow the spiders. Ron and Harry follow the spiders into the Forbidden Forest, meeting Aragog, an acromantulas. The giant spider, loyal to Hagrid, tells the boys what actually happened the night the student had died. Aragog also hints to the boys that the Chamber of Secrets opening is located in the same bathroom that Moaning Myrtle spends her days.
Tom Riddle's Diary - Voldemort created seven Horcruxes prior to his defeat, which Harry learns about in Half-Blood Prince. One of the Horcruxes in the diary that Lucius Malfoy slipped into Ginny Weasley's books at Flourish and Blotts. The diary is destroyed by Harry in the Chamber of Secrets.
Chamber of Secrets - At the end of the book, Ginny Weasley has gone missing, being taken to the Chamber of Secrets with the diary in hand. While in the chamber, Harry finally learns that Tom Riddle is actually Lord Voldemort. The letters in Riddle's full name (Tom Marvolo Riddle) can be rearranged to read I am Lord Voldemort. After learning that Riddle is Voldemort, Fawkes arrives with the Sorting Hat. Riddle unleashes the basilisk that has been tormenting the school onto Harry, but Fawkes intervenes by pecking the serpent's eyes out so that he can't kill Harry through his stare. Godric Gryffindor's Sword appears in the Sorting Hat after Harry places the hat on his head. Harry uses the sword to kill the basilisk and a tooth from the serpent to destroy the diary.
Godric Gryffindor's Sword - The sword was made by goblins and will take on the properties of substances it encounters. In this case, the sword was used to kill the basilisk, which in turn, then absorbed the blood of the basilisk. The Horcruxes created by Voldemort can only be destroyed by damaging it beyond repair. There are only a few ways in which this can be done, through basilisk venom, which has only one cure (Phoenix tears) or a magical smelting procedure, such as the Fiendfyre spell used in the last book.
With that said, the outline to Chamber of Secrets:
Dobby - Dobby the House-elf makes his first appearance in Chamber of Secrets when he tries to save Harry Potter by preventing him from returning to Hogwarts. First, he stole all of Harry's letters during the summer to make it seem like his friends really didn't care about him, then closed the magical port that led to platform 9 3/4. during a Quidditch match, he enchanted a Bludger to chase after Harry during the game, which resulted in him breaking his arm.

The ingredients of Polyjuice Potion are:
- 12 lacewing flies that have been stewed for 21 days
- 1 ounce of crude Antimony
- 4 leeches that have unsucculated
- 16 scruples of fluxweed that was picked at full moon
- 3 drachms of pulverized Sal Ammoniac
- Pulverized blades of knotgrass
- 1 pinch of powdered horn of a Bicorn that has been lunar extracted
- Filings and rasplings of Saltpeter, Mercury and Mars
- Shredded dried skin of a Boomslang
- Extract of The-Transfiguring-Being-To-Be

MTV Awards
Best Movie Nominations
Alice in Wonderland (Directed by Tim Burton)
Avatar (Directed by James Cameron)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Directed by David Yates)
The Hangover (Directed by Todd Phillips)
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Directed by Chris Weitz)
What Should Win
Seeing that I haven't seen any of these movies except for Harry Potter, I'm going to have to select Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm sure these other movies were good movies (I still want to see Hangover and Alice in Wonderland), but I don't think anything can match up with the last Harry Potter movie. Between the darkness of the story, the development of the characters, and the special effects, I would honestly be surprised if it does win.
Of these movies, The Twilight Saga: New Moon should DEFINITELY not win the Best Movie Award. For many, many reasons:
1. Vampires that can go in the sunlight.
2. Vegetarian Vampires - that sounds like an oxymoron
3. Why are none of these men wearing shirts
4. Robert Pattinson's very strange nipple (see below picture)

What Will Win
This category depends on which sex can get the most votes in. If the male population has it their way, Avatar will win, but if the female population has it their way, then The Twilight Saga: New Moon will win.
Best Kiss Nominations
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning (The Runaways)
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal)
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner (Valentine's Day)
Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington (Avatar)
Who Should Win
Um...this is the "What the Fuck Category" of the night. I know what your thinking, since I'm gay I'm automatically going to gravitate to towards Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.
Wrong.
Kristen Stewart = whiney human from the Twilight Saga.
Dakota Fanning = whiney child from War of the Worlds
My choice would be...I don't give a flying dookie who wins. In fact, my vote goes to Ernie and Bert.
Who Will Win
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, only because the female population is going to flood the votes due to their strange obsession with the Twilight Saga.
Best Fight Nominations
Beyonce Knowles vs. Ali Larter (Obsessed)
Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber vs. Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine)
Logan Lerman vs. Jake Abel (Percey Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief)
Robert Downey Jr. vs. Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes)
Sam Worthington vs. Stephen Lang (Avatar)
Who Should Win
Again, these are five movies that I've never seen, however my vote goes to Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Strong, simply because my girlfriend loves Sherlock Holmes.
Who Will Win
I'm going with Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Strong, and not because my girlfriend loves Sherlock Holmes. Downey does some fancy fighting in the movie.
Best Villain Nominations
Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)
Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland)
Ken Jeong (The Hangover)
Stephen Lang (Avatar)
Tom Felton (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Who Should WinTom Felton should win this category, considering that he goes completely evil in Half Blood Prince and is would have killed Dumbledore if Snape didn't get to him first. Of all the characters in the series, the Half Blood Prince has the most defining character transformation, turning Draco Malfoy from wizarding bully to wizarding murderer.
Who Will Win
As I stated above, Tom Feltom should win, however his major downfall in the movie is that he was too scared to actually go through with murder of Dumbledore, therefore his transformation into a complete villian wasn't complete. Villians don't show vulnerability.
Instead the victory is going to Ken Jeong from the Hangover.
Best WTF Moment Nominations
Betty White (The Proposal)
A 'Golden Girl' feels up Sandra Bullock during an awkward wedding dress fitting.
Bill Murray (Zombieland)
The original Ghostbuster, Bill Murray, popped up in 'Zombieland' in a surprise cameo playing himself.
Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)
Apparently, Isabel Lucas is "one smoking hot girl" but there's nothing sexy about her robot tongue hookup with Shia LaBeouf.
Ken Jeong (The Hangover)
Jeong pops out of a trunk naked right into Bradley Cooper's face.
Megan Fox (Jennifer's Body)
There's nothing hot about projectile vomit, even if said vomit comes from the lips of Megan Fox.
What Should WinBill Murray is himself in Zombieland. What makes that idea 10x better? Bill Murray playing himself as a zombie in Zombieland. WTF!
Who Will WinBetty White in The Proposal, only because she's a Golden Girl and feels up Sandra Bullock.
Biggest Badass Star NominationsAngelina Jolie
Channing Tatum
Chris Pine
Rain
Sam Worthington
Who Should Win
I'm very confused by this category. Biggest Badass Star? What is the definition of Badass Star? More importantly, MTV just gave these 5 people nominations, with nothing to support their nomination for Biggest Badass Star.
My vote is going to Chris Pine for playing James T. Kirk in the new Star Trek movie. It was the first Star Trek movie that I had ever seen, and Chris Pine did an excellent job of playing Capt. Kirk. In fact, I don't think I would have had as much interest in seeing the other movies if it wasn't for Pine's role as Kirk.
Who Will WinWhile I think Chris Pine should have one, the problem is the lack of career after Star Trek. It sort of died after the movie. I haven't heard his name mentioned since the release of Star Trek on DVD. Instead, Angelina Jolie will most likely win this category, only because she has 70 adopted children that need to be fed.
She needs the win people. Simply because a win for Biggest Badass Star, means that she gets more work, and the more work she gets, the more mouths she can feed. Come on people, she needs to save the world...one baby at a time!
Best Scared As Shit Performance
Alison Lohman (Drag Me to Hell)
Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer's Body)
Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland)
Katie Featerston (Paranormal Activity)
Sharlto Copley (District 9)
What Should Win
I don't think it really matters. These are five movies that I won't see, simply because they are all in the Scared as Shit Category.
What Will Win
I'm pretty sure that Jennifer's Body is the only movie out of these five films to have any positive feedback from critics, therefore I'm going for Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer's Body.
Best Breakout Star NominationsAnna Kendrick (Up in the Air)
Chris Pine (Star Trek)
Gabourey Sidibe (Precious)
Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief)
Quinton Aaron (The Blind Side)
Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover)
Who Should Win
Zach Galifianakis. I haven't even seen The Hangover, but I know it was hilarious.
Who Will Win
Zach Galifianakis is one funny dude, and had more than one movie released this year, unlike the other nominees in this category.
Best Female Performance NominationsAmanda Seyfried (Dear John)
Emma Watson (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side)
Zoe Saldana (Avatar)
Who Should Win
Emma Watson is hot. I know it is so wrong to say, but Emma Watson is hot.
Who Will Win
Kristen Stewart, only because she's in the Twilight Saga: New Moon, and for some reason the female population is in love with this series. Personally, I think we should start a group to burn all of the copies of Twilight.
Best Male Performance Nominations
Channing Tatum (Dear John)
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Taylor Lautner (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Zac Efron (17 Again)
Who Should Win
Harry Potter finally got over all of that teenage angst, and finally grew some balls to fight back. My vote goes to Daniel Radcliffe, he went from being a whiney bitching wizard to a bad-ass wizard.
Who Will WinSince this is MTV and MTV caters towards the younger generation, Robert Pattinson will win. He can't act. He has a funny looking nipple. Yet somehow, he will win for Best Male Performance.
Damn you MTV.
Best Comedic Performance NominationsBen Stiller (Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian)
Bradley Cooper (The Hangover)
Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal)
Sandra Bullock (The Proposal)
Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover)
Who Should Win
Again, another category that I haven't seen any of these movies, however my vote goes towards either of The Hangover performances. I'm sure either one of them deserves to win this moonman.
Who Will Win
Either Bradley Cooper or Zach Galifianankis.
Global Superstar NominationsDaniel Radcliffe
Johnny Depp
Kristen Stewart
Robert Pattinson
Taylor Lautner
Who Should Win
Another of MTV's WTF categories. Global Superstar? What does that even mean? If we're talking about "Global Superstars" shouldn't there be a more diverse list of actors? Are the nominations based on whether you can recognize them in another country? I'm not even sure how to pick the winner for this category!
I guess I'm just going to take a wild guess, and go with Johnny Depp. He's been around since I was a kid, so he has to be a "Global Superstar." Right?
Who Will Win
Like I said, I'm still confused on the qualifications of "Global Superstar" but since Robert Pattinson has one funny looking nipple, I'm sure he's going to win.
MTV Movie Awards Part 2
The movie awards just finished, and I'm left feeling a little disappointed. I think I just lost two hours of my life watching this crap. Who the f*#$ votes on these categories anyhow? Obviously this isn't the Grammy's, but this was a little ridiculous tonight.
For starters, The Twilight Saga one in every category they were nominated for, which isn't really fair seeing that in many categories they were nominated twice. Hey MTV, why don't we even the playing field and say only one nomination per category per movie? I'm just throwing out the suggestion.
Anyways, here were the winners from tonight:
Best Fight: Beyonce Knowles vs. Ali Larter (Obsessed)
Best Kiss: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
WTF Moment: Ken Jeong (The Hangover)
Scared the Shit Out of Me Moment: Amanda Seyfriend (Jennifer's Body)
Breakout Star: Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air)
Best Female Performance: Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Best Male Performance: Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga: New Moon)
Global Superstar: Robert Pattinson
Best Villain: Tom Felton (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Biggest Bad Ass Star: Rain (Ninja Assassin)
Best Comedic Performance: Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover)
Best Movie: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Well, I got 7 out of 12 categories correct, which is actually embarrassing because I already knew that Twilight was going to win every award tonight. I remember when the MTV Movie Awards were entertaining, what happened?
Personally, I'm still a little confused about the Global Superstar Award. What the f&*# makes someone a global superstar? More importantly, why do they deserve a separate award for being recognized around the world? Does that have anything to do with actual movies, or the fact that Robert Pattinson has probably appeared in every copy of Tiger Beat for the last 2 years? Does that make him a global superstar?
