An interview with JK Rowling in 1998. Compare to now where an estimation of 450 million of her books have been sold.

Sorry but I had to reblog this, the note count was freaking me out.

I wonder if we can get this to 30,000 notes, which would be phenomenal. 

Harry Potter fandom, assemble! 30,000 notes!

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.

Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.

The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.

And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.

The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.

You’re welcome, and enjoy!

Scott brought this home today. You can answer every subject card with Kanye West. 

I do own this. From the cards, it looks much better than apples to apples could ever be.

I would like this.

I NEED IT

This is perfect.

I need to play this

I will play it with you. Actually the Kingdom will join and play this madness. It’s gonna be crazy!

It plays just like Apples to Apples; which means that its equally as fun.

We’re still working through the details, but it looks like Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) will be hosting a Cards Against Humanity game at Ascendio in July - probably sometime on Friday but the date/time is up in the air until he’s back from Bank Weekend travels.

Yes, there will be customized drinks available for purchase, too.

Fwiw, tweets #2005 - 2012 by @HPEF will use a virtual time turner to look back at the HPEF cons of each of those years, so check them out, and RT if you attended The Witching Hour, Lumos, Prophecy, Portus, Azkatraz or Infinitus (tweet #2004 was about Nimbus because we RT-ed something from the amazing Lena Gabrielle as #2003).

Heeeere at long last are the first of the Harry Potter blends. More characters will happen, don’t worry. This is only the beginning.

• Harry Potter: Treacle tarts, Pumpkin Juice and deep, warming spice. Boyish, yet brave, resourceful, and powerful. [pumpkin spice, caramel, masala chai]
• Ronald Weasley: Burning with passion, love and energy, this blend will effectively warm you whenever you need it. A little might go a long way, but still good to always have around. [masala chai, ginger, almond]
• Hermione Granger: Sweet, bright, vibrant notes, with just a lingering smell of parchment and ink. [ceylon sonata, pu erh dante, caramel]
• Severus Snape: Seemingly bitter and severe, this blend is actually quite smooth, with herbal, grassy notes. [white monkey, pu erh dante, yerba mate]
• Remus Lupin: Smooth, dreamy, moonlit Earl Grey. The earthy, dusty smell of the Forbidden Forest. Chocolate to speed recovery. Best served the night after the full moon. [earl grey moonlight, pu erh dante, chocolate chai]
• Sirius Black: Powerful and playful, with bright notes of lemon and ginger, rounded out with strong, smooth Assam. [assam melody, oriental spice, lemon grass]
• James Potter: Refreshingly bright, youthful, and good natured, but with just a bit of a bite lingering beneath the surface. [irish breakfast, candy apple, gingerbread]
• Peter Pettigrew: Damp earth, musty corners, and slightly bitter. Oft overlooked flavors that may take you by surprise. [pu erh dante, artichoke green, gunpowder]
