Book Review: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
Anyone who has read Harry Potter is familiar with the name Nicholas Flamel. But did you know that he was a real person? Nicholas Flamel was a book seller who some people believed was also an alchemist. It is rumored that he was the owner of the codex, the book that contains the recipe for the elixir of life. After he died, it was said that his tomb, and those of his wives, were found empty. Michael Scott took this legend and turned it into a phenomenal series. The series is called The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The series begins with twins, Sophie and Josh, who just got summer jobs in San Francisco. When a mysterious man attacks the bookstore owned by the “Flemings”, a.k.a. the Flamels, the twins are suddenly forced to enter a world of magic. Michael Scott mixes mythology, magic, fact, legend, and world history to create the perfect fantasy story. The first four books take place over a span of about a week and a half. This time span makes the reader eager to keep turning the page. The story never has a down point and is constantly full of action. If you like fantasy, magic, mythology, mythical creatures, suspense, and action then this series is perfect for you. I give the series 5 wands up. The characters are vividly described and developed. The story keeps you interested and wanting more, and the magic is what all Harry Potter fans crave. I would recommend that anyone who likes Harry Potter at least read the first book in this series, The Alchemyst.

Ask the Elf!
Dear Ask the Elf ,
Have you ever thought of striking? I mean to say, elves outnumber wizards ten to one. That is quite frightening odds, for wizards of course. So it crossed my mind, why don't you strike? You have poor measly jobs, you are mostly malnourished and treated quite badly, and you have very strong powers, so why not?
D. Um
---------------------------------------------
Dear Mistress,
The elves are only to serve; we like to serve.
But to satisfy your questions, in the old days, in ancient greek history, there was a time when slaves outnumbered their masters, and due to all the labour they went through, were much stronger than their masters. They also had their own language, but there were never any riots because if the oppressed are repeatedly oppressed then they cannot strike or riot, no matter how malnourished they are. This is the same for us house elves. We were oppressed, but now in this golden age we have better jobs. Such as replying to you.
Yours sincerely, Ask the Elf
The Queen Lana

The Latest in Divination
Aquarius July 2010 Horoscope (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 ) The headline news is that a new moon eclipse in Cancer on July 11 can bring a new job your way. With so many people out of work in this economy, that’s good news indeed. Cancer is a home-oriented sign, so the new job may involve working from home or work that is related to houses, real estate or the like. Eclipses are really personal in their effects, so it’s hard to say much more than that about how this one will affect you (and it may not show up until about a month from the actual eclipse date), but it will hopefully bring soothing news of some sort. Even if the eclipse does not seem to affect you, there is Cancer energy until July 22, so don’t give up if you are looking for a job. Another area of improvement could be your health. Mercury in Cancer can also help until the 9th. Cancer is a nature-loving sign, so if you need a perk-me-up, get out and enjoy the outdoors, or at least put some flowers in your home to bring beauty into your life. There’s also energy in Leo all month long, and this puts a spotlight on your personal life. Someone that you care about needs your attention. You may also need to tone down your typical Aquarian uniqueness around the time of the full moon in your sign on the 25th. Speaking of uniqueness and its opposite, conformity–there’s a battle brewing between your uniqueness-loving ruler Uranus and Mr. Conformity himself, Saturn. Pluto in Capricorn also squares off against Jupiter in Aries, echoing the same theme. This battle takes place in relatively weak areas of your chart, but you might as well know that the entire dang globe is trying to figure out how to manage these competing impulses. You may be a bit buffered from some of the angst by vague Neptune in your own sign, but the issues will probably be on your mind. Here’s the global riddle of the month: Is being unique a good thing if it’s not useful? If not, how can uniqueness be made useful? Figure this out, and you’ll be way ahead of everyone else.
Pisces July 2010 Horoscope (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) There’s a new moon eclipse in Cancer on July 11 that can signal a fresh beginning in your personal life–specifically your love life, your creative projects, or your relationship with your kids. Sometimes eclipses in the 5th house (which is where this one takes place for your sign) correlate with a surprise pregnancy–so take precautions if that’s not a desirable outcome for you. Even if you don’t have children, young people could be lucky for you this month. If your children are grown, one of them may be starting out on his or her own new beginning, such as by getting married. Eclipses have unpredictable effects, so it’s hard to say what other forms the new beginning would take, but new moon eclipses are favorable more often than not. So good news there. In fact, there is favorable Cancer energy until July 22, which makes you one of the luckier signs this month. There’s also a lot of Leo energy in July, which puts the spotlight on your job and health. If you have health problems, take action, and don’t be afraid to look for an unconventional solution. The Leo energy also allows you to creatively express your personality on the job, especially after the 22nd, when the sun moves into Leo. Before that, from the 9th through the 27th, you can expect lots of conversations with your co-workers, as Mercury moves through this sector of your chart. All in all, a pretty nice set of influences. Now for the not so nice influences. Mars is opposing your sun all month and Saturn is too for the first 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter are all being very disagreeable with each other and this is taking its toll on the collective mood. Finances and friends are the issues of contention in your solar chart, and it will be enough to make a self-respecting Pisces just want to escape the nastiness. If it all gets to be too much, feel free to steal away by yourself to refresh and recharge.
Aries July 2010 Horoscope (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) For a long time, Uranus was in your psychological 12th house, and now, all of a sudden, he’s in your much more physical 1st house. Screw the psychologizing, he says, let’s make stuff real. Jupiter has joined Aries to put double emphasis on your individuality, to lavish attention on you. Unfortunately, perhaps, almost no sooner do these planets move into your sign to lavish attention on you than they get into heated arguments with Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn is trying to take charge of your career, and he apparently doesn’t give a hoot about your individuality. He wants you to get to the top the old-fashioned way–by doing the same things everyone else does. And Saturn in Libra doesn’t want to lavish attention on you–it wants you to to pay attention to your mates and partners. It’s almost like Saturn in Libra is deliberately trying to block your efforts to manifest stuff for yourself. Whassup with that? I’ll be danged if I know the answer to that for sure. But I will say that we’ve also got a new moon eclipse in Cancer on July 11, and maybe that either holds a key or helps a little. The eclipse represents a new beginning in your private life; it takes place at the bottom of your chart. Perhaps, in some way, you need to get that private life strong, sorted out, and supportive so that you can manifest from a sturdy foundation. Maybe Saturn’s just trying to slow you down enough to give you a chance to build your base up a little bit. Might as well look at it that way instead of grinding your teeth over planetary frustrations and delays.
Taurus July 2010 Horoscope (Apr. 20 - May 20) How to get a handle on July 2010? Well, we’ll start with Pluto in Capricorn in your solar 9th house of opinions and beliefs. He is scheduled to spend most of July arguing viciously with Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter just so happens to be the planetary sponsor of opinions and beliefs, so this is slated to be quite the dust-up. Pluto represents conventional wisdom, the opinions everyone else has that your sign is supposed to ordinarily be content to accept without a great deal of fuss. Jupiter represents your own personal opinions, based on your own personal experiences, the ones you would normally be encouraged to keep to yourself. Jupiter feels like pointing out to Pluto that you actually have your own ideas and that you are not truly Mr. or Ms. Unoriginal. Pluto is not likely to be thrilled with this news because he thinks original thinkers get into big fat trouble. He’s going to try to put a lid on your chart’s budding originality of opinion. He’ll probably win this round; Pluto’s a heavy hitter. But he won’t win the war, and eventually your opinions will change and so will your beliefs about society. That’ll be good in the long run. In the short run, the transitional stirrings in your chart are likely to just be irritating. In fact, you may be real pissed off at things for reasons you can’t entirely understand. That’s okay in the sense that so will everyone else. July is just one of those maddening astrological months. In the meantime, Saturn in Libra will be glaring at Uranus in Aries after the 21st. Uranus in Aries has the same agenda that Jupiter in Aries does–originality of thought and opinion. Saturn doesn’t want to hear about it. Saturn wants you to settle down and be rigorous and conscientious on the job, and he is not pleased with Uranus for introducing unsettling new thoughts into your mental sphere. Last and maybe least, there’s a new moon eclipse in Cancer on July 11. This is the sort of influence that could have you taking a quick trip or getting news from relatives. Or maybe nothing will happen. Eclipses are wild cards, so it’s hard to say. This one is in a weak house for you, so it is unlikely to be hugely significant. My best advice for this turbulent astrological month is to do your best to keep up appearances, regardless of inner or outer turmoil. Taurus has to do things at its own pace, and you’ll probably feel better if you can keep up the mask until you get things sorted out inside.
Gemini July 2010 Horoscope (May 21 - June 20) The bulk of the planetary action in July continues to revolve around your solar 11th house of your social life, friends, clubs, and casual relationships. All Uranus and Jupiter in this area of your chart want to do is be friendly and hang out. Is that so wrong? Apparently, Pluto and Saturn think so, because they make frowny faces at Uranus and Jupiter for most of the month. Why is anyone’s guess. Saturn in Libra could have something to do with disapproving children or lovers, but what’s gotten under Pluto’s skin is hard to say. If I’m going to guess, I’m going to guess that Pluto has gotten tired of Jupiter’s happy mask. Pluto digs on honesty in a serious way, and he is mindful that Jupiter and your sign of Gemini will both conspire to put on a facade of cheeriness that Pluto could be sick of trying to sustain. Pluto doesn’t feel like being cheerful. He just wants to get to the point and leave the bubbliness behind. It will be up to you to decide how much of Pluto’s honesty to reveal. Perhaps you can get away from conundrums like these by spending the new cash that the eclipse in Cancer on July 11 is scheduled to deliver to you. Nothing like a shopping spree to perk up the spirits. I wish I could promise that all Geminis will see some sort of material reward in July, but not all eclipses affect all people in a sign. Still, some of you will have reason to celebrate, and that’s a good thing.
Cancer July 2010 Horoscope (June 21 - July 22) Wow, what’s a Cancer to do in July 2010? The planets are lining up on all four angles of your solar chart (translation: strong sectors of your chart), and there’s no escaping the energy now. There’s so much going on, we’re going to have to break it down. Part 1: The sun’s in your sign from June 21 through July 21. Mercury’s also in your sign from June 25 to July 9. There’s also a new moon solar eclipse in your sign on July 11. All of these factors put an emphasis on your personality, on your unique collection of qualities. Whatever is Cancerian in you gets emphasized (an appreciation for food perhaps?). The eclipse is potentially significant, and it represents a new beginning for you in some way. But what that new beginning might relate to depends completely on your own particular life and circumstances. It’s an astrological wild card that gets its meaning from the hand you’ve already been dealt lately by circumstance. Then there’s Uranus in Aries at the top of your chart, opposing Saturn in Libra at the bottom of your chart. Uranus in Aries can relate to your career. More broadly, it relates to your personal style–how you appear to others from a distance–your reputation. Uranus in Aries tries to make you more distinct, more visible, easy to distinguish from others. Saturn in Libra at the bottom of your chart tries to do something of the opposite, make you conform, blend in, get along, be more private. Jupiter in Aries is also at the top of your chart in July. It sides with Uranus in Aries and has roughly the same goals. It is being squared by Pluto in Capricorn, the sign opposite yours. Pluto sides with Saturn in Libra, although it has a tendency to play out more in terms of close relationships with mates or partners. All of these influences agree that you need to make the ultimate decisions about your life, but they disagree strongly as to whether you should be emphasizing the ways you differ from others or the ways in which you are the same. No one influence is exactly right or exactly wrong, which may be why the main players (Capricorn, Uranus, and Saturn) are scheduled to continue arguing about this for the next 12 months and beyond. The planets will pause to take breaks from the argument and regroup (which is good for you), but they’re not letting you off the ultimate hook for a good long time. There’s no standard cheat sheet for navigating these competing impulses, which is why the planets insist you’ll need to make up your own mind based on your own situation. But I will say that the strongest influence is Pluto–and he is demanding, one way or another, that you get your relationships with others straightened out. Perhaps if you can focus on that, you can figure out how much to conform and how much to break free of conformity. I’m not saying this will be easy, but you cannot complain that the planets aren’t paying any attention to you!
Leo July 2010 Horoscope (July 23 - Aug. 22) There’s a lot of action in your sun sign this month, Leo. The sun enters Leo on the 22nd. Mercury enters your sign on the 9th and stays until the 27th. Venus is in your sign until the 10th. In other words, there’s at least one planet in Leo all month long. Thank goodness for that, because it’s a tense month for most signs. The Venus influence during the first 10 days should allow you to present a pleasant face to the world, even as others are starting to become more and more agitated. The Mercury in Leo-dominated period from the 9th to the 27th may not be quite as easy, for the aspects are frankly scary for most of the signs. Jupiter will be squaring Pluto, and Saturn will move into another opposition with Uranus. Things aren’t quite as bad for your sign as they are for many others, but don’t count on being able to take a vacation. You may also want to practice pretending to be sympathetic when other people start complaining or getting irritated about goodness knows what. By the time the sun moves into your sign on the 22nd, the difficult aspects are in full swing. Fortunately, your chart provides an outlet for the tensions in the sky–vigorous exercise. Head to the Y and swim any frustrations away while you beat the summer heat. You’ve also got some good news this month–Saturn is leaving your solar 2nd house of money problems–not to return for decades. Yay to that. Finally, there’s a solar eclipse in Cancer. This eclipse is in such a weak part of your chart that most of you won’t notice any effects. All in all, count your blessings–your sign is getting off easy this month.
Virgo July 2010 Horoscope (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) On July 21, Saturn officially re-enters your solar second house of money, and he promptly gets into an argument with Uranus in Aries. Saturn in the house of money is not usually considered a good thing, but it can have its benefits. Safe, solid, sensible investments can be made that will pay off over the long haul. Being prudent can save your financial backside. Saving can be your friend. Building a nest egg can be a smart activity. And so on. The problem is that during late July, the opposition with Uranus can have the effect of trying to tug money out of your accounts. Debts or expenses can become sudden problems or monies owed you by others can skedaddle right when you were counting on them. All the more reason for you to hedge your bets and be extra conservative financially for the time being. As an added wrinkle, Jupiter will be squaring Pluto for much of the month. That seems to indicate that if you do bring in a nice chunk of money, Pluto will want to snatch it away and spend it on your kids or something equally worthy. Fortunately, Venus is in your sign from the 10th on, and that helps. You’re not scheduled to be in such dire financial straits that you can’t get what you need. In fact, there’s plenty of energy in your sign to help you get through any temporary difficulties. There may be some uneasy moments, but you’ll pull through. Finally, there’s a new moon eclipse in Cancer on the 11th that could bring a new and important friend or ally into your circle.
Libra July 2010 Horoscope (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) I’m not going to lie to you; July is scheduled to be a stressful month for most signs, including yours. All four angles of your chart are lit up this month, which basically means the skies are trying to pull you in 4 different directions at the same time, and nothing wants to give. Fortunately, you have some resources at your disposal. For one thing, there’s energy in the compatible sign of Leo all month long. What this essentially means is that you have access to support from your friends and extended network throughout July. Also, your ruler Venus will move into Virgo on the 9th. Along with other planets, Venus indicates that your personal sense of spirituality is another great resource for you this month. If you don’t consider yourself an especially spiritual person, you can look at it another way–have confidence in your own ability. This is a lesson that Saturn is going to be teaching you over the next couple of years anyway–but there’s no harm in getting an early start in understanding that you can rely on yourself. To put another spin on the general theme–Pluto is moving through the bottom of your solar chart. This can be challenging, but it holds at least one clear message: your power comes from within. It may be that all kinds of outer circumstances are trying to convince you right now that it doesn’t, and that other people have all the cards. But your power does come from within and from your ability to stay grounded. Keep that in mind as things progress. Finally, you may get an exciting new start or opportunity in your career this month, thanks to an eclipse in Cancer on July 11. Undoubtedly, you deserve it.
Scorpio July 2010 Horoscope (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) Self-confidence month for Scorpio as the inner planets (sun, Mercury, Venus) move through Leo, your own personal sign of achievement and visibility. Behave as if you have that self-confidence and an otherwise astrologically tense month will be more likely to pay off for you. You can also lean on your friends this month and count on them to give you the straight dope, as 4 planets spend time in your friendship house this month. Let them perk you up when you are down or ground you when you’re flying unrealistically high. Another area of activity could be long-distance travel, as a new moon eclipse in Cancer on the 11th highlights the sector of your chart in charge of roaming far and wide. That’s the inner planets; now we gotta deal with the outer ones. The most powerful one of all, Pluto, is rumbling along in your solar 3rd house of communication. He’ll be there for a long time, so that’s not news. He wants you to share your knowledge in a rigorously honest way. Typical, long-term, gradual Pluto goal. What’s news is that he’ll be squaring off with Jupiter in Aries in your job and health sector for most of the month. Someone, perhaps in your work sphere, such as a co-worker, apparently does not want to hear the truth. Whoever it is thinks that your truth is too grim and instead wants to bounce around optimistically with his or her hands over their ears, singing “I can’t hear you!” Not being heard punches Pluto’s buttons, and when Pluto’s buttons get punched, he wants to let you know about it. Everyone has this experience of not being heard at some point, but Pluto is slowly working himself up to a towering rage over this issue in your life, and you’re getting a taste of this in July. Bottom line: you’re going to have to speak your truth, even if the idiots you’re speaking to make you want to strangle them. This is going to stir up some subconscious fears, but scared or not, you’ll eventually have to lay things on the the line. Because the more powerfully you learn to own and speak your true thoughts, the more powerful you’re going to be in every facet of your life.
Saggitarius July 2010 Horoscope (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Most of the big outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto) are going to be yelling at each other in July, and we’re all going to be overhearing their arguments. The only one not screaming is Neptune and he’ll be in a couple of mild tiffs with planets in Leo. Your job is going to be to remain somewhat detached from all the hubbub while avoiding getting your undies in a bunch. In your chart, the planets are scheduled to be yelling about money, your kids and your friends, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear to me. If you don’t have kids, they may be yelling about your boyfriend or girlfriend or your legitimate attempts to have some fun in your life. Whatever they’re yelling about, you can still remain your friendly, cheerful Sagittarian self if you remember that this too will pass. The underlying tension seems to be financial, but on that front you may get a bit of good news in July. A new moon eclipse in Cancer on the 11th could bring a minor windfall of some sort in the form of an insurance payout or some other bit of non-ordinary income. It’s probably not going to solve all your problems, but if it shows up, it could help a bit. Even if you don’t get a windfall, Mercury and the sun in Cancer during the first eight days of the month could bring some helpful information to light. There’s also lots of energy in Leo throughout July, another influence that could bring helpful information your way. Bottom line: ignore the planetary angst to the extent possible and focus on harvesting information you can actually use.
Capricorn July 2010 Horoscope (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) July is one of those out of the frying pan, into the fire months. Planets that were hanging out in mild-mannered, weak houses of your solar chart continue throughout July to mass in the strong angles where they’re capable of making a lot of unruly noise. Let’s break down what’s going on. #1: Sun in Cancer until the 22nd, Mercury in Cancer until the 9th, and new moon solar eclipse in Cancer on the 11th. Translation: news about your close relationships. Somewhere, somehow, some way, most Capricorns are scheduled to get some sort of news re: partners/mates. For most, the news will be good, maybe even wonderful, and that makes this the best thing about the month. #2: Pluto in your sign squaring Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter would normally want to bring good news too, but mean old Pluto wants to snatch it away in July. Boo Pluto! Translation: don’t get your hopes up too high for improvements on the home front. #3: Saturn moving into Libra on the 21st to oppose Uranus in Aries. Saturn in your career sector attempts to put the damper on Uranus energy in the home and family sector. This could actually be a blessing in disguise, although it may lead to tensions. Saturn will attempt to keep your family members from exploding with whatever long-standing rages they’ve been nursing for years, while you attempt to keep the peace and maintain politeness. Translation: someone in your family or inner circle is likely to be hopping mad, and you’ll need to be diplomatic to defuse the situation. Fortunately, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn all spend some time this month in compatible Virgo, and they can be really helpful. Virgo is a communication sign in your knowledge house. Translation: your knowledge of communication skills can make everything easier as we all navigate through July’s tensions.

Member of the Month
This month's honor as Witch of the Month goes to Stardust Disaster! Her name is certainly NOT true. As a member of HPGoG, she's far from disaster and she hardly ever starts them! In fact, she's been known to prevent them. For instance, although she received knowledge of this award very last minute, Stardust (no)Disaster promptly accepted! It certainly would've been a disaster if the Mod Squad's choice for Member of the Month had never...well you get the idea. wink Stardust Disaster, also known as Amber around the guild, is Hufflepuff's prefect and a Hogwarts Monthly staff member. She's a 7th year, which means she'll be graduating soon, but her dedication, patience, and helpfulness to the guild for more than two years have made Amber an Honorary Member in the hearts of many. Read my interview below to learn more about the Hufflepuff that stole hearts. I'm sure when you're done, you'll be anxious to meet her (if you haven't already)!
*´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•` ¤ Stardust Disaster
Q: Have you read all the HP books? How many times? A: I don't know how many times I've read each one, because I've read some more times than other, but I have most defiantly read them all. In fact, I'm currently re-reading the series. wink
Q: Which is your favorite? A: My favorite? Now that's a hard one! I think it's probably The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Q: Have you seen any of the movies based on the books, if so which ones? Name your favorite! A: I have seen every one out so far! I don't know if I have a favorite, but I really enjoyed the first two and the sixth one.
Q: What is your favorite book or author? Besides Harry/J.K.? A: This is probably the hardest question yet. As an avid reader, it's hard to pick favorites. I'd defiantly say that Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is one of them though. Maximum Ride, Shiver, The Alchemyst, and The Warriors Series too. One of my favorite authors is Margaret Peterson Haddix, with the Shadow Children Sequence being my favorites of her books. : )
Q: Do you have a favorite character from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books? Who is it? (it's fine if you have more than one, I know I do) A: Ginny, Luna, Tonks, Remus and Sirius. cool
Q: What are your other interests/hobbies? A: Well... I spend most of my time on the computer (here and roliana.com), but I also really like to draw and read. Hangout with friends, volunteer at the library, stuff like that. :3
Q: How did you find out about Gaia? A: My older sister, Eshiza on here, told me about it.
Q: What's your favorite thing to do on Gaia? Outside of Gaia? A: Inside: This guild. <3 Outside: Play Roliana and be with my friends. :'D
Q: Are you in any other guilds? Are you as active in those? A: Yeah, a few, but this is the only one I really post in.
Q: How often would you say you are on Gaia? In HPGoG? A: Well, on gaia, HPGoG is almost the only thing I do, so my answer applies to both. I defiantly try do get on at least once a week, a lot more during terms when I'm in classes. I think I average around 3 - 5 days a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. >w<
Q: Was Hufflepuff your first choice for House? Why or why not? A: At the time I got sorted, it most defiantly was not. Mostly because then, I had never really payed attention to Hufflepuff. But now, it's about the only House I'll ever want to be in. Puffies rule! : D
What do you like most about your House? There's no wrong answer here! A: I like everything about my house! Everyone's so nice, friendly, and quirky. Just like me! <3
Q: I've checked and it seems you joined the guild Friday, December 28, 2007 at 9:30am. As a dedicated HPGoG member, what would you say has been your best experience? A: Making new friends, getting to know all of you, and building Amber as my favorite OC. :3
Q: What do you like most about HPGoG? Is there anything in particular you're looking forward to (in HPGoG)? A: The members and how easy it is to chat with you all. I'm actually really excited for the Quidditch event! Oh, and the opening of the Graduates sub-form. ;D
Q: You recently won Top Poster Award for Hufflepuff! Do you think you have what it takes to get a streak started? Why or why not? A: Probably. wink But that's mostly because a lot of Puffies haven't been very active recently. Come on guys! I want some competition! D<
Q: Speaking of streaks, as a loyal Hufflepuff, what do you think about Slytherin's unprecedented House Cup streak? A: I think they should give the other houses a chance! :C Meanies. >w> Nah, it's really great that they're doing so well. And hey, you have to admit they've earned it! But I'm really hoping to see another house, preferably Hufflepuff, win sometime soon. ;D
Q: Lastly, is there anything else you want to tell the members of the guild? Tell them something, anything! A: Thanks for being such a great guild! I love you guys, and you wouldn't believe how much Sam (cocosam) misses you all! (PS, she told me to tell you all Hello. ^^) Also, can you guys please post more? And join the event? :'D Kay, thank you. <3 (And a special thanks for choosing me to be member of the month. 3nodding )

Celebrate!
July is the summer month for people in the Northern hemisphere, but the winter month for people in the Southern hemisphere. Isn't that confusing? Despite the seasonal differences, July offers one thing everywhere: probable boredom. Sure you probably have fun for two weeks, but July is 4 weeks long. The same ideas that you got through the first two weeks would probably seem boring by the third week. To help ease the boredom of my fellow HPGoGers (new word alert!) I've decided to post some important holidays to look forward to if you're ever in need of something to do. Anyone can celebrate these holidays no matter where they are! Independence Day in Belarus July 3 Independence Day in the USA July 4 Independence Day in Venezuela and Algeria, July 5 Independence Day in Argentina July 9 Independence Day in Bahamas July 10 Bastille Day (France) on July 14 Marine Day, (a holiday in Japan on the third Monday) Independence Day in Colombia July 20 Independence Day in Belgium, July 21 Foundation Day in Cleveland, USA July 22 Revolution Day in Egypt July 23 Pioneer Day in Utah, USA July 24 Constitution Day in Puerto Rico July 25 Feast of St. James July 25 Independence Day in Maldives July 26 Independence Day in Peru July 28 Foundation Day in Baltimore July 30 Independence Day in Vanuatu, July 30 July is the month of Independence for many countries. Maybe that boredom I mentioned earlier could be the cause? (that's a joke). Anyway, on a final note, if you're ever in England on July 31: BEWARE. That's Harry Potter's birthday, and you know how many fans he has!
