The last missing Hogwarts house is the Ravenclaw house. The Ravenclaws value wit, learning ability, wisdom and most of all intelligence. To enter the Ravenclaw common room, which is located in one of Hogwarts many towers, has to be opened answering a riddle instead of a password. if you get it wrong you have to wait until someone gets it rigt. It is also famous for their quote, wit beyond measure is a man´s greatest treasure.

One of the qualities that is best admired in people is being funny. I really love comedic TV series, books, and movies. Two of my favorite comedic TV series are Friends and How I Met Your Mother. I absolutely love those series because of the groups of friends and all the crazy stuff they get into all the time. I especially love Joey, Chandler and Phoebe in friends. In How I Met Your Mother Im a extreme Barney Stinson fan!

There are many types of beauty in the world. there is beautiful art, beautiful people, beautiful landscapes and also beautiful things. You can find beauty in everything and also in the things you least expect. For example Susan Boyle is not the most attractive woman in the world. When she auditioned for Britans Got Talent you could see people doubting her and making faces. She really surprised everyone because when she sung she had the most beautiful, amazing, pure voice that some people can only dream of. Here is a video of her audition.

Artists and photographers goal in life is to capture beauty. Thats the ultimat goal and what they dedicate themselves to. These are some of the paintings that I have really liked.






 Phtogaphers try to transmit emotions through pictures. Wether it be happiness, sadness, anger, or any other they try their best producing beautiful pictures.

 As I said earlier I am doing a post on each of the Hogwarts houses. This post is dedicated to the Hufflepuff house. The Hufflepuffs are known for valuing  hard work, patience, fair play and most of all loyalty. The Hufflepuff house is famous in the books because Cedric Digory belonged to that house. The house colors are yellow and black. Neville Longbottom fought with the sorting hat during his sorting because he did not want to be noticed and wanted to go into Hufflepuff. Huffulpuffs are also known for being very accepting and extremely nice. Loyalty is the thing that is valued most in the Hufflepuff house and it is one  the most dominant characteristics.





In a previous post I talked about the characteristics of the gryffindor house of the Harry Potter books, so I decided to talk abut all 4 Hogwarts houses. I already talked about Gryffindor house so in this post Iwant to talk about their rivals the Slytherin house.The slytherin house is the Gryffindor´s house biggest rival and is said to produce dark wizards. The house is famous in the book for being Lord Voldemort and Draco Malfoy´s school house.   The Slytherins values ambition, resourcefulness, but most of all cunning. Cunning means subtle and deceptive when needed.  If you really think about it all dark wizards need to be cunning to succeed with their plans.

One of my favorite TV series is the show Gossip Girl. This show is about a group of teenagers who are form New York´s upper east side and live their lives in luxury while a anonymous website with a person named gossip girl reports all their scandals. This series is all about drama and the best way to achieve drama is through jealousy.  A first Blair is jealous of her best friend Serena because of her popularity, then Jenny Humphry a wannabe popular girl is extremely jealous of Blair Waldorf the schools queen. Many other people´s jealousy establishes thmselfes. At first Chuck is jealous because Nate, his best friend, is dating the girl he loves. Thats just the first season!

In this blog I have previously talked about my favorite books, The Harry Potter series. In a previous post I talked about the friendship of Harry Potter. This post is about another different but absolutely powerful emotion: love. The Harry Potter books really stress the importance of love and all the ways it manifests itself.  Harry Potter fought because of his love  for the wizarding world, his friends, hogwarts, Albus Dumbuldor, and his deceased parents. Harry discovered a prophecy in his 5th year that said he will defeat the dark lord with a power he knows not that power was love, and in the end it was the thing that defeated Voldermort.



As I have mentioned in my previous posts the Harry Potter books are my absolutely favourite books in the world. When I was younger I read that first book and was really interested in all the Hogwarts houses and their characteristcs. In this post I want to talk about the Gryffindor house. Gryffindor house is known for having Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasly. The Gryffindors head of house is Minerva Mcgonagall. The Gryffindor house values daring,chivalry, nerve, and most of all bravery. The feeling of bravery was one of the things that got the Golden Trio through all their problems. Bravery is incredibly important to the books.

In this world their are many different and unfortunate types of hate. There is hate because of gender, because of race,because of skin color, because of jealousy, religion and many more. I have two main examples about hate. The real one is religious hate which is the period of Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler had a religious hate against people of the jewish faith. Adolf Hitler had twisted views of creating Racial Hygiene and committing genocide (killing an entire race) by exterminating Jewish people.  Hitler created a great army of soldiers called Nazi´s and also created concentration camps. Concentration camps kept their prisoners in cruel conditions and deliberately executed them. This is only one example that caused a lot of death and suffering.

Emotion: Friendship

The book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows  is my all time favorite favorite book. It shows the thrilling tale of Harry Potter and the magical world that he lives in with his two best friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasly. This book contains adventure, jealousy, love, death, self sacrifice, hate, sadness, and joyfulness but most importantly it contains the most amazing friendships. The bonds formed between Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Science they were little they have been together and gone through everything with each other.. Hermione and Ron gave up their school, family and there whole lies for Harry and Harry did the same, for the whole wizarding world. This shows how powerful true friendship can be.
