Which Door Would You Choose?

You find yourself in front of seven identical doors. A voice from above tells you, "These seven doors lead to seven different places: Narnia, Neverland, Wonderland, Hogwarts, Camelot, Middle Earth, and Westeros." Which door do you go through? Why that door? What happens?
 
I would go through the door to Wonderland without hesitation. I have always loved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and count it as one of my top ten books of all time. The character of Alice and I have a lot in common, beginning with our curiosity and continuing with our adoration of cats, a thirst for knowledge, and sheer determination. I would love to wander through Wonderland and interact with different characters from the books, especially the White Rabbit, the Gryphon, and the Cheshire Cat. I'd rescue the hedgehogs from the croquet games and delight in the chess game. Plus, I really love the hallway of doors in Wonderland.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailer

Just saw this on rgz Street Team Priya's blog! What do you all think?



What do I think? Well, obviously, I need more Snape. :~)

Severus on the big screen again!

When he took the screen for the first time, I gasped. Thankfully, my husband kept holding my hand. :~) He's so tolerant.

Oh, it was a GOOD movie! Bravo! Don't you all agree?

Harry Potter 6 Trailer

Okay, to be fair, since I loaded the New Moon trailer, I went in search of the Harry Potter 6 trailer. The very best one in HD, with glorious shots of SNAPE, cannot be embedded. But here is the link. IT LOOKS AMAZING! Click it:
