I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic." -Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture) We need more Stan Rogers. jams

The quote has to do with the gutting of society by the cheese merchants who posess the tiny clay pots that hold all the lint. As long as they exist, the universe will always be fuzzy and dusty souls will walk the after life insearch of the Karmic lint brushes.

Yet as Harry grew and realized what his potential was becoming(one heck of a wizard ) His abilities as dumbldore had told him and troubled Harry, wasnt that Voldemort and him were alike ....they posessed the same skills...yet Voldemort chose a dark path....where as Harry has used his unforseen powers for good... As you get deeper within the books you will see where Harry has many an oppurtunity to turn the skills he now has into a weapon of evil.... Yet time and time again...through blind luck or just fate...Harry outwits voldemort over/over.... Harry had the full option to side /w voldemort in "the sorcerers stone" (or philosophers stone..as the original book was titled) nothing would make him happier than to bring back his mother,father...(his first choice) think ya know the outcome of this.... see where im going simply put.....what seperates us from all other living things is our ability to make a "choice" ... our gift of free will gandster -------------------- Described as "bagpipes with an attitude," the energy and vitality that Wolfstone brings to the stage is infectious; their audiences are often brought to their collective feet with the opening notes of the first tune. Wolfstone and Mark saul in concert together..theres 1 heck of a shindig !! i consider myself a sensitive inteligent fellow with the soul of a clown that forces me to blow it at the most crucial moment"..

I always felt that quote from the movie for me meant we all have choices that can determine who and what we become, and how important it is to weigh those choices. Each choice can take you down different roads. And all roads lead somewhere... Annabelle -------------------- My heart will always be in the Highlands! www.highlanderhouse.com

When Order of the Phoenix came out, we had four bookmarks going at once, and as soon as one person set it down, another family member picked it up. -------------------- Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Rowling puts out the next book at a time when I'm not in the middle of a semester at college. When I read her books, I like to sit down and read them as much as possible, until I'm done. I'm not as particular about how I watch the movies, but Rowling is such a descriptive writer, that I like to get totally engrossed in her stories ~Sarah~

(Her-my-knee).... little things like that ... gandster

It actually took 4 different places to make the first two movies. The third movie has places around Glencoe in it. They were looking for some place a bit more rugged in terraine and Glencoe Scotland fit the bill. I have a picture of me in the hallway at Glouchesshire where they went into the Gryfendorph common house. There isn't really a door where the lady asks for the password. There is a wall there. Amazinng how they do that in the movie. I also have a picture of me pointing at the window where the spiders were supposidly going thru the window. Amazing!
