“Oi, Hermione! You’re A Girl…”

Posted on 16/12/2013 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains a secret portkey and SPOILERS!!!] After the much appreciated respite from the established Harry Potter Film Formula provided by The Prisoner of Azkaban, the series fell back into its exasperating rut with The Goblet of Fire (2005). Not only did Dumbledore … Continue reading →

Rust Never Naps
