On July 21, 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released to the public, selling 6.9 million copies in the U.S. within the first 24 hours of its release, making it the fastest selling book ever according to the record it still held in 2012. Following the November 2010 premiere of the first half of the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiered on July 15, 2011. During opening weekend alone, the film earned $483.2 million in the box-office, making it the seventh highest grossing film of all time.

Harry Potter is more than just "the boy who lived", he's the boy who befriended a generation.

Beloved by many, the Harry Potter series was J.K. Rowling's crowning achievement and her light out of depression. Rowling opened her incredible mind and poured it onto pages that so many have read to themselves and to those they love. Many "grew up with" Harry and his world of wonder and magic, and equally as many were devastated when J.K Rowling announced the finale of both the book series, and the films.

But fans of the great author can stand and rejoice once more, because Rowling has announced her plans for a new children's book. She told the BBC, "I have written part of a children's book that I really love, so there will be another children's book."

Don't get too excited. It's not an eighth Harry Potter book, and there's little detail on the synopsis of the story itself, but a children's book for Rowling is more than most have dreamed of for the last few years! The author has been focusing her career on her adult novels such as The Casual Vacancy and Career of Evil since the culmination of her first children's series about the boy who lived.

With great success, it looks like Rowling is headed full-throttle back into the magical realm she created not so long ago. As well as the plans for a new children's series, the author is writing for the film adaptation Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is set to premiere November 18, 2016, as well as working on the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is said to be premiering at the Palace Theatre in London this coming summer.

It seems us Potter fans are having our childhood heartstrings being pulled in every direction with J.K. Rowling's announcements lately! Here's to a new world from Rowling, and new memories to come from the original. Godspeed, Jo!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
