This year has been a fun and exciting year. And while we are sad to see it go, we are also happy to see the coming of a new year. Everybody knows that with the coming of 2010, there are going to be plenty of New Year’s Resolutions. So here are a few suggesstions for things you should add to your list of resolutions, if you haven’t already done so: Number 1. Read the Harry Potter series. If you have never read or heard of Harry Potter, then you need to read the series. It’s an awesome book appropriate for ages 12 and up. Even if you are an adult, you will get immense pleasure and enjoyment out of reading these books. They are definitely page turners and will keep you guessing and wondering until the very end. There are 7 books in all, plus two additional books that are supplemental reads after you have read the first 7. Some people like to read them at the gym while on their Reebok Treadmill, and still others enjoy curling up on the sofa with a pot of tea.

Number 2: If you haven’t seen all of the Harry Potter movies, then you must see them. Wait until after you’ve read each book before you’ve seen the corresponding movie. For example, don’t watch the Sorcerer’s Stone if you haven’t yet read the book. So take some time off from your Cardio Twister and get enthralled in Harry Potter. You won’t regret that you did. And hopefully, you’ll begin a whole new year of reading which is great for the mind.

Well it’s Christmas Day all over the world, and all the children all over the world are excited to be opening up their gifts. While we shall never forget the reason for the season (Jesus), no one can deny that the Santa Claus factor gets us all a little excited. There is one person for sure, however, who is waking up this morning to an unhappy and unexpected surpise: that person is Draco Malfoy. He hasn’t been a good boy this year at all and instead of the total gym torture chamber that he asked for from Santa Claus, he got a bag of coal! He was hoping that he would be able to torture Harry Potter in this chamber, given the chance. Instead, however, because of so many mischievous deeds this year, he is got nothing but a bag of coals. This should be a lesson to all boys and girls around the world. It does not pay to misbehave and mistreat people all year long and expect that good things should happen to you.

Draco Malfoy had to find this out the hard way.  And not only was there no torture chamber, but the hydroxycut potion that he requested will not be coming to him this year either. So it looks like this year is going to be a sad Christmas for Draco Malfoy. Unlike Harry Potter, who got everything he wanted and then some for his selflessness and courage, Malfoy is going to have to be content with coal! Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!

It’s hard to believe, but would you believe that Dumbledore and Santa Claus actually know each other? Well they do. Dumbledore travels all over the world via those key portals, and he recently ended up at the North Pole on accident.  He was trying to get back to England, but must have opened the wrong door. Anyway, he caught Santa and the elves in the middle of their preparations for Christmas Eve which is only a week or so away. In fact, one of the elves was packing up the bag for the mothers that wanted the zone dietthis year. For whatever reason, that one has been one of the most requested items by adult women this season. Anyway, Santa was shocked to see Dumbledore, but happy at the same time. They two practiced magic at the same elementary school at one point, but then went their separate ways after that. That’s right, Santa had to learn some magic too! How else would he know what everybody on Earth wants for Christmas, where they live, how big their chimneys are, and how their behaviour had been all year long?

Dumbledore and Santa sat down for a cup of hot chocolate to catch up and reminisce on old times. But just as soon as they had, they both had to get back to work. Santa had more Bodylastics to make and Dumbledore had to get back to Hogwarts. But for just a moment, two old friends had time for a cup of hot chocolate. This holiday season, make time for an old friend and a cup of your favorite hot beverage. Merry Christmas!

Every year Hermione returns to the world of muggles to visit her family. After all, Hermione was born to muggle parents but was discovered to have extraordinary abilities as a wizard, which she has proven time and time again through the course of her tenure as a student at Hogwarts. So she will return once again to her parent’s home to visit and enjoy Christmas with her muggle family. She will do some Christmas shopping with her mother, which is always interesting. Because Hermione is so accustomed to shopping for wizards, she forgets that muggles typically want different kinds of things for Christmas; things like toys, jewelry, designer clothing, weider home gyms, tickle-me-elmos, barbie dolls, Barbara Streisand CDs, Beyonce DVDs, and more. Usually for Christmas, she ends up buying Harry and Ron new books with magic spells, or new accessories to go with their brooms.  When they were younger, they were always satisfied with those specialty sweets that they’d buy from Hogsmead, or practical jokes that they’d also get from Hogsmead but it just seems that their taste becomes more mature as they age.

Hermione is really excited about vacationing with her family for the holiday. She gets plenty of time to catch up with her family, something she rather enjoys doing. She also watches laughingly as her mom shows her how to use different pieces of workout equipment. This year her mom bought an Ab Lounge Ultra Sport. Hermione things that her mother looks hilarious trying to use it, but her mother swears by its results!

Every year, the students at Hogwarts take several trips to the local town of Hogsmeade, where all sorts of interesting and dangerous people and things can be found. Harry Potter has finally been taken off of the list of people banned from going and he and his friends are going to go and discover all sorts of things in that little town.  Ron has his eyes on some butter beer; Hermione has her sights on some ancient book about the history and power of numbers that she thinks will help her in her quest to get an A in her arithmancy class. Harry Potter never really has his sights set on anything before he gets to Hogsmead, but he does always seem to find something to purchase. Dervish and Banges, while they do make tons of repairs, seems to carry some other interesting things as well. The last time they went Hermione stumbled upon some FRS healthy energy drink. Of course Ron and Harry wanted to buy some, but Hermione talked them out of it; she didn’t think it a good a idea.

They also found a great vareity of vitamins that were supposed to help with conjuring different spells. Ron, of course found something called super beta prostate that he wanted to slip into Malfoy’s beverage at dinner time, but Hermione quickly reminded him that you can’ t fight fire with fire. It is better to be nice to people then to show them the same discurteousy that they show to you.
