Molly is....
... very sad to hear the news of Dave Legenos' death. He played Fenrir Greyback in Harry Potter. He was hiking in Death Valley in the US, and some hikers found his body. They are saying he died of heatstroke, what a horrible way to die!
Pretty much everyone who knows me, knows I have a soft spot for Fenrir Greyback and it's so sad to hear of Daves' death. My heart goes out to his friends and family. RIP Dave Legeno!

My little sister Alex suggest I do a gift guide for a "fan-girl" which really works out to be a gift guide for people buying HER presents... So here it is...

The best place to find even more geeky products are:

Book Review - Harry Potter Page To Screen!
This is a cross post from my new blog The Curiosity Complex.
First thing, first. This book is amazing and (even though heaps of people will probably complain) totally worth the price tag.
Also, this is a look and feel review. I plan to read it at my own speed (slow) and will try and do another review when I'm finished.
Harry Potter - Page To Screen, The Complete Filmmaking Journey by Bob McCabe
Purchased (special order that took over 2 months to arrive) from Dymocks.
Price: $110.00 but considering in Sydney at the Harry Potter exhibition they wanted $169.00, $110 is an excellent price.
This book is huge! It weighs 3.5kg (yes I did weigh it) and I was afraid that it wasn't going to fit on my bookshelf (but it does... geek dance). There are 540 beautiful glossy pages, some of them featuring clear embossed images, like shoeprints, wands and feathers, and there are a few fold out pages. Including one of the front featuring some of the main characters.
So, the contents...the book is divided into three parts:
Part I: The Making of Harry Potter
Introduction
Setting the Scene
HP and the Sorcerer's Stone
HP and the Chamber of Secrets
HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban
HP and the Goblet of Fire
HP and the Order of the Phoenix
HP and the Half-Blood Prince
HP and the Deathly Hallows
This section is full of candid photos (including Voldemort reading a magazine), set design illustrations and behind the scene photos. It also includes strange things, like the characters heights, and tidbits from the various directors.
Part II: The Art of Harry Potter
Introduction
Characters: Costuming
Locations: Set Design
Creatures: Special Makeup and Digital Effects
Artefacts: Prop Making
This is my favourite section. It shows the characters costumes, including fabric swatches, information on tattoos, wands and makeup. It also showed art designs of main locations, including a snow covered model of Hogwarts (which is actually covered in salt, not snow) and designs from JK Rowling of Diagon Alley etc.
This section brought back a lot of memories from the Harry Potter Exhibition I went too in Sydney. Props of creatures and random artefacts that I saw, but had forgotten I'd seen.
Part III: Epilogue
The Golden Boards
Acknowledgements and Colophon
The last section isn't that exciting, but a little sad. Featuring photos from throughout the filming of Harry Potter, including the last group photos.
I've posted some photos of some of the pages I liked. Sorry about the quality of the photos. I used Hipstermatic, because for some reason my Camera app on my iPhone doesn't work :|
 |
| Sirius Blacks' tattoo designs |
 |
| Barty Crouch Jr aka David Tennant |

| Severus Snape |

| My 2 favourite Harry Potter baddies :) |

| Blueprints of Hogwarts |

| Blueprints of the covered bridge that leads to Hagrids house. |
I hope you enjoyed this quick look at Harry Potter - Page To Screen. When I picked this book up I ordered another Harry Potter book. Harry Potter Film Wizardry. So stay tuned for the review of that one :)

Fenrir Greybacks' Next Victim - Mini Fanfiction
Fenrir loved hunting in Londons Hyde Park.
It was so easy to pick off muggles when they had their headphones in and where completely oblivious to their surroundings. whoever invented these “ipod” things, was a genius (even if he was most likely a muggle)
She was sitting on a park bench sketching. She had red hair pinned up and was wearing glasses. The telltale white cord ran from her backpack and into her ears.
Fenrir purposely rustled the leaves to see if he's get a reaction. Nothing.
He crept out of his hiding spot, slowly walked up behind her, and in one swift movement, cover her mouth, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her over the bench and into the bushes.
