Day 4: The Goblet of Fire

Day 4: Least favorite Character and Why?
This is a hard one
 I love every single character. It amazes me that J.K. Rowling could come up with a world of people and have them all be different is kinda awesome
I thought of one..........Professor Umbridge
This character is about as evil as Lord Voldemort but in a very subtle way
There are little things like that quill she makes the students use for punishment and how she is very strict and has all this power.
The first time I read the book I didnt catch any of that but then in the movie I came to realize how corrupted she really is
Day 5 tomorrow!!! These might not be coming each day....finals are coming and I might possibly finally have a job so we'll see i might be getting a little too busy
till next time,

Day 3: The Marauder's Map

Day 3: Which if any of the films have made you angry because they've ignored important parts of the book.
Would it be really nerdy if I went through each movie??
I better not, I'm already a big nerd this would not help 
The biggest thing I wish they had explained was the mirror in Part 1.
In the fifth book Sirius gives harry a mirror and tells him to use it whenever he wants to talk, but harry doesn't he completely forgets about it until the end of the book I think
In the seventh book harry has that mirror on him constantly and can see someone in it, who is Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother.
In the movies both the 5th and the 7th it doesn't explain it very well. In part 2 Aberforth gets it in a completely different way from the book......I think I havent read that one in awhile
But it's never mentioned!!!!
Quite Annoying
There are a few things in each book they should have put in the movie but you can't make a 500 page book with all that information into a good movie, you have to cut somethings.
Day 4 tomorrow!!!

Day 2: Dobby's Reward

Day 2: Favorite of the 7 movies
This is gonna be hard because I love them all, every single one of them, there is something about each of them that I like so to pick a favorite out of the 8 i guess is gonna take some thinking
...............................................................(me thinking).................
I'm gonna have to say
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2, it's the same movie just in two different parts

This movie is completely different from the other ones, it's intense and emotional, it really does go out with a big BOOM(get it? I just referenced the movie.............yep i'm a dork)
It was done so good, exactly how it should have done. I just LOVED IT!!!!
Day 3 tomorrow!!!

Day 1: The Boy Who Lived

Day 1: Favorite book out of the 7
That one is easy!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The reason why this one is my favorite is because for once, this book doesn't involve Voldemort, well he's mentioned but he doesnt make an appearance at all in this book. In this book we learn more about harry's dad and the way he was at school. J.K. Rowling really should write a book about them it would be pretty good. I even have the british version of this book.
I could read this one over and over again, heck i read the whole series over and over again. I love it!!!
Tune in tomorrow for the next topic!

Forever Is Only The Beginning

November 18, 2011
The Twiligth Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is released in theatres.

I LOOOOVVEEEEDDDD ITTT!!!!!!
It was emotional, funny, romantic, sad, intense, and just downright THE BEST ONE YET!!!
I loved the wedding scene, the honeymoon scenes were adorable, getting to see things from Jacob's point of view was new and something I looked forward to. The birth scene was a little...uh.. gorey but i dont think they could have done it a better way.
I heard a lot of people at the midnight showing say they hated this movie. First off ( Im gonna rank here a little bit) it's a two part movie, they can't make everything that exciting and climatic in the first part. Also in the book not much happens in the first part, sure a lot more does but they can't put that all into a movie. Some people just need to remember that there is a book and there is a movie, they're two separate things and should be treated and viewed that way. if not........well you just aren't gonna like anything.
But yes Breaking Dawn was the best of all, the others can't compare. I loved spending the evening with my sisters and my cousin. I love going to the midnight showings,they're always just so fun. Friday I spent the whole day sleeping, no lie, I would turn on an episode of the office and immediately be asleep. I didn't go to one class.
Now all I need to do is convince someone to see it witn me again I really wanna see it again.
You should all go see it, it's great.
till next time, jodi

I'm 20!!!

October 30,2011 yes only a few days ago I turned the right old age of 20 years old!!! I had a great birthday!!!!
I got so many birthday wishes on facebook and from my family and roommates I felt very special
My day started with stake conference where the Prophet spoke. What a treat that was!!! The prophet spoke on my birthday.......of course it wasnt just to me but still I got to hear him on my birthday
Then since I now live in Logan I had my family except Jamie come up to Logan and we had chicken alfredo at my grandma's house
I had a great time there and I got a lot of presents which I will tell you about later, but unfortunately there won't be many pictures cuz i didnt take pictures I'm just that lazy.
While I was at my grandma's house my visiting teachers and Relief Society Presidency came over and from them i got this card with a little message from them that i thought was so great and a twix which i ate and enjoyed!!!
Now onto the presents
first from my family
that's my cake. I told my mom i wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and m&ms on it. It was delicious!!!
My sister Katelyn got this for me I cant wait to sit down and read it!!

Anecia and Michael got this for me!!! Unfortunately
my roommates arent big fans so i havent played it yet
Jamie got this for me!!! She kept saying my present is better than
anyone else's. It is pretty cool
My mom got me jeans from old navy which unfortunately were kinda huge so i went yesterday and got a smaller size and they were still too big!!! now i gotta exchange again.....they don't have a limit do they?
My dad got me a $20.00 gift card so i can get the breaking dawn soundtrack!! and my parents gave me this card with girls in the twenties and it says
" Well behaved women rarely make history'
As for my roommates, I didnt think they were gonna do anything, just say Happy Birthday and just be done with it but on monday they went and got me present and some cupcakes. I kinda was already having a bad day and seeiing them do taht for me made me want to cry....My roommates are great!!
They got me Sweeney Todd which I just watched. They found it at hastings and i was there for like a half an hour looking for it but I'm glad they got it for me. We're gonna watch it tomorrow
The best thing they got me was running shoes, i got with them to the gym and run a lot and i've been wearing my old worn down converse and they got these for me for my birthday!! How thougthful!! I just hope they didnt spend too much money on them. I wore them to the gym today and they were so comfortable, they fit great and were AMAZING!! I need to repay them somehow.
And cupcakes......I already told you that though huh?
And one of my best friends and roommate got me THOR!! I didnt expect that but she knew i wanted it so she bought it for me
If you havent seen it you should
So that was my 20th birthday and it was one of the best ever!!
till next time,
