Have you read the Harry Potter series?

careliscool @careliscool (154) • South Africa 3 Nov 08

Hi. Have you read the Harry Potter books? If you did arnt you upset with the way J.K Rowling ended the series. It is like killing the series and she cant continue even if she wants to. Dont you agree?

black_emerald I think the worse part about how she ended the series was the fact that she ended the series. It did seem out of place, however, I felt that it was about time that Rowling ended it after 7 books (after all, Harry Potter has to get on with his life). The best...

black_emerald I've seen strangely flavored ice cream before. There were flavors like ginger and wasabi which looked very interesting but I'm too scared to try them lol. I usually just stick to more common flavors like chocolate and vanilla. I do try a lot of different ice...

black_emerald Final Fantasy 12 was kinda easy (for me), once you're about 1/3 the way through and you tried to get characters all leveled up above the last boss you would have fought, the quests done, and all the 10%ATB, MP hunter, and Str's bought on your grid. Early in...

black_emerald I know that Santa Claus started out as a historical figure. After that, wasn't it Coca Cola advertissement that changed him into a fat, joly, old man in a red suit? That's actually not too bad, considering how Valentine's Day came to be what it is today (we're...
