Lego Harry Potter Knight Bus
Product Review by Becky Kyle
Lego. It’s a word you can’t say without smiling. Try it. See what I mean? I don’t know if this is the most scathingly brilliant marketing scheme or just pure dumb luck; however, I love saying Lego.
I have an ambition to build something huge with Legos. Maybe not as large-scale as the house James May built, but perhaps a Tardis? At least a Death Star.

Dear Sara,
“Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain” I can’t remember where I read that and I’m not xactly sure of what it means. Can you help me?
Sincerely,
Sandy L.
Dear Sandy,
Yes Sandy, it is one of my favorite quotes said by Arthur Weasly to his daughter Ginny after she was nearly killed by her dealings with Tom Riddle’s diary. You can find it in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, page 329. It was meant to explain the dangers of blind trust. She should have asked questions rather than following the advice of the diary but Tom’s soul made her feel special and who doesn’t want to feel special? We can all benefit from Arthur Weasley’s warning. Don’t blindly trust information coming from sources that haven’t been checked. Sources like the internet, news outlets of various sorts and even public agencies and officials. Ask questions and investigate before giving your trust.

Dear Sara,
Severus Snape, living or dead? I’ve read the books, seen the movies, read everything JK Rowlings has said about Snape and I ask you, is Severus Snape alive?

Dear SnapeSnogger
In my opinion Snapes lives. He was a double agent, extremely paranoid AND he was a potions master, not just any potions master but one that was able to come up with an antidote for Nagini’s bite in time to save Arthur Weasley. The idea that he would not always carry anti snake venom potion with him is ludicrous. Even first years knew a potion master could “put a stopper on death”. His body was never found and buried. When Nagini was killed there were no leftovers of Headmaster Snape found spilling out of him. His portrait never appeared in the Headmaster’s Office as all are supposed to at the death of a Headmaster of Hogwarts. If the castle had never recognized him as a Headmaster it would not have permitted him to use the Headmaster’s Office while he was there. It had locked out Dolores Umbridge despite the Ministry having appointed her to head the school.

Dear Sara,
How was Harry Potter rescued as a baby? How could Dumbledore and Hagrid know James and Lily Potter had been killed when it was Peter Pettigrew who was their Secret Keeper?
Thanks,

Hi Becky,
The Potters lived in Godric’s Hollow which is a wizard village. Bathilda Bagshot was a neighbor and I suppose a Death Eater attack led by Voldermort would be loud and flashy enough to alert the neighborhood. Someone could have sent a floo message or a Patronus notifying Dumbeldore immediately and he would have then dispatched Hagrid.

Saying Goodbye to Harry Potter
by June K. Williams
Deathly Hallows part 2 is a film I both longed to see yet hesitated to rush in to the theatre on the day it opened because it marked the end of a beloved era. For those of us that read Deathly Hallows on the evening it was first released there are thankfully no jarring surprises. Nothing to mar the legacy. Great attention was given to the sets and production. It was worth the extra money I paid to see it in 3D and the special effects were well done but this is not a film about technology and you can see it in 2D and enjoy the film fully.
