Lyn: Hi, I landed here while blog hopping. You are really into Potter huh? :)
tigger62977: Oh Shelly don't cry!! You're almost done!
Shelly: I haven't finished it yet, I'm on Chapter 32 right now. These past few days have not permitted me to be able to read. Yesterday we had to spend the day cleaning out the gerage because our A/C went out and today I spent 4 hours at the Dentist with the kids getting teeth filled. I am off to finish it right now. I LOVE THIS BOOK!! See ya at WK online soon.
Liz: Sorry! 'WunderkindOnline' link is on the left side of this page under 'Harry Potter'.
Liz: I finished it at around 7 p.m. CST yesterday! I'm opening 'Wunderkind' for discussion.
tigger62977: Oh Shelly! Did you finish it? I finished it yesterday afternoon. If you did how did you like it?? If not, how are your feelings on it so far?
Shelly: It's 9:30pm on Sunday night. I am one chapter 26 and will likely be done iwth the book tonight. I can't wait to hear how you found it Liz! I have to take the kids to the Dr. tomorrow morning, so I'll talk to ya later.
tigger62977: It's funny you should mention that, Renee. I've often thought that if I were in the world of Harry, I would never have taken Potions. I sucked at science and Chemistry in particular never interested me.
Liz: Thanks, Renee!
Renee: unique toy - harry potter spells and potions science activity kits are great gifts
Liz: Oh, that's a good idea! **thumps head!**
Shelly: You still have Wunderkind. Wake it up and we'll post there.
Liz: Thanks, Shelly! I had been hearing these things as well and I will not be anywhere near my computer or tv or (hopefully) newspapers until I have finished reading my book. As for a discussion of the book when we all finish, do you think I should start a message forum so we here can discuss the book? I know there are millions of boards out there, but I thought we might have a small group of our own here. Thoughts?
Shelly: I'm not sure if you have heard, but seeing as you are better informed then most, they reported on our news here that copies of Harry Potter DH is running around the internet. I already had the last book spoiled for me by someone at KB that forgot a spoiler tag, so I'm staying away from several places until I read the book. (Not here ofcorse! You would never dream of posting anything like that!!) I just wanted you warn you so that you can be careful and not have it spoiled for you.
Liz: He WAS cute, wasn't he! He was adorable on Jay Leno as well. Tonight he'll be on Conan O'Brian, which promises to be very entertaining. Conan is so funny, I can't wait to see Dan with him. It'll be like watching him with Jonathan Ross!
Shelly: That was a really great interview on Regis and Kelly. He is so cute and once he has his birthday I won't feel bad saying it! LOL I would have thought that he would have been one of the 10 to get a copy of the book. wow I have the DVR set to record tomorrows too. Thanks for all the heads up Liz.
Liz: Be safe, Shelly and Happy Fourth to you and yours!
Shelly: I hope that everyone has a great 4th! We are heading to Austin tomorrow and will be back on the 5th. Everyone be safe!
Liz: The news is coming in so fast and I've had computer issues, so I've just posted links to the various sites that contain all the photos and news there is available. Heather, let me know if you can't access a site and I'll copy and paste the article for you.
tigger62977: It's all starting! Harry Potter opened in Japan today.......there are pix posted on Yahoo.
Liz: Thanks, Liz!
Liz: nice site lol. :]
Shelly: Doing much better! Thanks everyone.
Liz: Oh Shellyy!! Are you better today? I hope so!

Liz: I didn't! Where?
tigger62977: Um......how long have you been a Potter fan?? Look at how you spelled Sirius!!!!
Liz: Ok, I checked on that Evanna Lynch interview, Tigger. The original post states that you do have to register on their site to read it. It says it at the bottom. Sorry!
Liz: Dunno! I'll see if I can find the interview and post it here.
tigger62977: The website that has the full Evana interview. When you register, it asks for all this information that's only relevant in the UK.
Liz: Er?
tigger: Um, is there a reason why you have to be a resident in the UK in order to register to that website?
Kathleen: Hi Heather!!
tigger: Hi!
Kathleen: Welcome, Shelly!!

High Honors for 'Supernatural'



OMG! I cannot believe that Jensen and Jared were so close! In fact, they were right in the town I called home for many years! In fact, they were only a 45 minute drive from my house!!! Where was I?  

Actors receive honorary coins from "Team Texas" The stars of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, received high honors from Special Forces at Creation Entertainment's Salute to Supernatural last weekend. The convention, which also covered Buffy and Smallville, took place in Schaumburg, IL, November 9-11, 2007. According to a Creation Entertainment-approved press release from fans of the show, numerous convention reports, and videos taken of the event, on Veteran's Day, Master Sargeant Kevin Wise presented Jared Padalecki (who plays Sam Winchester) and Jensen Ackles (who plays Dean Winchester) with a letter from General David H. Petraeus, Commander of the Multi-National Force in Iraq.

He also presented them with an honorary Special Forces coin from his unit. There are five Special Forces Groups, each with its own unique coin. Civilians rarely receive coins; they are usually only given to Green Berets. Wise's unit is called "Team Texas." Both actors are originally from that state. Wise said that Supernatural is the most requested DVD among troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc, and Kripke Entertainment, Inc. are sending 3,000 copies of the DVD's to troops overseas.

In the letter, General Petraeus stated: "Every day in Iraq and Afghanistan our service members are constantly in harm's way. At any moment they can be severely injured or even killed. They are constantly under pressure and stress. For that short time when they can sit, relax and watch a television show, Supernatural, gives each of them the opportunity to forget about the constant pressure and stress they deal with on a daily basis. Our favorite television shows remind us of family, friends, and home. I would like to thank the entire cast and crew that makes Supernatural one of the most popular shows among our service members. On behalf of every military service member who is deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and worldwide, I would like to express my gratitude for your continuing support of all of our military service members. Best of luck in your future endeavors."

In turn, the actors presented Master Sargeant Wise with one of director Kim Manners' shooting scripts, signed by various members of the cast and crew.

By all reports, both the actors and Master Sargeant Wise were deeply moved.
