Okay, I'm creating a Harry Potter section for one purpose and one purpose only: hell I'm bored... Anyway... During the past two years my interest in things like say: Pokemon, DBZ, Digimon, and all those anime shows with bad voice acting has waned. All though I have enjoyed some classic Japanese animation movies like Princess Monoke, Metropolis, and the wonderful Spirited Away (if you haven't seen that movie, which I'm sure many of you haven't, do, NOW! stop reading this, go and rent it!). Although I rather hated Kiki's Delivery Service.
Anyway, my interest in the Harry Potter series has grown tenfold over the years ever since I read the first three in 1999. I've visited many sites in my search for the complete fandom I so want!!! But, alas it hasn't come... But that's okay because I've entered the scene! I can now be me my own ultimate fandom of fandom! The metrofandom of fandom, but I digress...
I've grown bored. The site is losing it's appeal. We're about to enter 2004! It's time to move foreword! Harry Potter is coming!!!! (so it LotR I hope someday too) And into the next years we fly!!!!!!!!!!
So enjoy... And email me at ChickenWrath35@aol.com and give me some ideas! Hopefully this site will be your ultimate... um... FANDOM OF FANDOM!!!
I am happy to announce that my next door neighbor, Matt Slacks, is now a staff member of my site. Please go to Matt's Corner to check out his early work.
Have you ever wondered how Hpspeculation was created? Well read on to find out.
Really, it was sort of a random occurance. Completely on a wimb. You see after about two years of not updating my anime2009 at all, I somehow redecided to update. I think...it was because I was perfectly bored, but the that's besides the point. Anyways, at that moment in my life, I was into Harry Potter. (I still am, but not as much.) So I added Harry Potter to my already 5 year old anime site to mixed results really. Sure, the site was perfectly successful enough, but I wanted a site made for my Harry Potter crap, and my Harry Potter crap alone. SURPRISE! I got my wish. Maxpages started creating free web sites again. I, of course, hopped on board immediately. Hpspeculation was born. I wanted Hpspeculation to feel like a back alley, almost like a hidden closet that you've never opened before. (Something you shouldn't be looking at, you know?)
Another thing I wanted different on my site than the rest of the sites on the web was the voice of the host. It seemed to me (and still does) that every single overseer and writer of HP sites speaks the same. They're all crazy about everything Harry Potter (like the movie, books, card game, you name it, they seem to love it with a primordial passion). I wanted to change that, simply because I personally didn't dislike the Harry Potter movies, but I didn't love them eather. Compared to Lord of the Rings, well, lets just say we should be feeding the VHSs and DVDs of HP to the cows and using them as fertilizer for our venus fly traps and tomato plants.
So, anyways, I wanted to get back to what I loved about Harry Potter, the books. I loved the the first book because it introduced me to a beautifully crafted and mysterious world. And personally, I think the thing that grabs us all in Harry Potter: this could be real. Not in the sense that I believe the magical world really exists, but by the way that the magical world is set over our almost fake and nieve Muggle world. In fact, I don't know if anybody has really thought about this before, The Matrix, MIB, and Harry Potter are all very similar. They all deal with extremely disturbing and strange worlds that interact with our daily lives without us realizing it.
Another thing that captivates be about Harry Potter are the completely lovable characters that you actually can care about. This proves J.K. Rowling is an absolutely superb righter and a genius in our lifetimes. For the sake of thinking, let's say you didn't like the characters in the HP universe. What would happen? How about an example: The Matrix. It descended into absolute crap after the first movie. Why? Bad writing, plus bad characters. MIB2? I don't know, I haven't seen it, but are many of us still talking or even thinking about MIB2? No. Are we still talking about MIB1? Yes, because it's a finely crafted movie with likeable characters and a great story. And are we talking about Harry Potter still? I don't know, are we?
I kind of drifted back there. Hmmm...
OK, back on target. I simply like the Chamber of Secrets. I don't love it. I'll tell you why. It didn't stick with me like the other Harry books. The other HP stories left an image engraved im my mind. I can't say book 2 did. It's a good book, not a great book. If the only reason it exists is to make me like the characters more, that's just fine with me. However, book 3 is different. It is a truly great book that makes you love new characters, take a personal struggle in the character's struggles, be scared, be surprised, be captivated, and completely love the thing the whole time you're reading it. I love book 3. I also love book 4. It's genius in the fact that it deals with adult problems. It's lovely in the way George Orwell was. It takes you in. I think book 5 is OK. It doesn't have any of the stuff I mentioned before. It doesn't take you on the ride of your life like the previous books did. There isn't even that many twists and turns. I pretty much had it figured out what was going to happen the minute I read about the battle between Beatrix and Sirius. Which was the books only surpise except for the fact it was so random it hardly felt meaningful.
After all the months of waiting for book 5, I felt sort of dissapointed in a way. My heart wanted more but my brain finished the book and said that's it, your done with book 5. I loved Harry Potter, and still do, but I had had enough. After 900 or so pages, I felt I deserved a bigger pay-off than what J.K. Rowling had given me. I started to think. I wanted to create a Harry Potter book and finish Harry Potter in a way I like. Hey, it may not be real, but its mine. So after 8 years of surfing the web and creating anime2009, I created Ultimate Harry Potter Speculation.

Should a Canadian attend Hogwarts in book 6. Here at the "Institute for The Rightful Treatment of Canadians" we believe SO! We have a rich french-british background and we believe a Canadian in Hogwarts would make a rich multilateral experience for children. What do you think?

Why a Canadian? I mean we Americans are richer, fatter, and more powerful. We deserve a student representing us more than Canadians do. Plus some of you are French. By-the-way, you put to many tis in institute.

Why shouldn't Canadian attend? I mean seriously, at least some Americans have been mentioned in Harry Potter. We Canadians have been terribly under-representated. Anyways, everyone knows people like Canada more than America. Are all Americans hillbillies? I see your president and think of the ultimate hillbilly, jeesh!

Matt, whoever you are, you're the biggest idiot in the world. Everyone in Europe loves Canada. On the other hand, they hate America. And they hate you. I hate you too by the way! You're nothin' but a hatefest to us Canadians.

Well, this has turned into an interesting conversation. OK people, all I'm trying to say is that Americans are underrepresentated as well. In that case, so are Australians, New Zealanders, Kenyans, Japanese, and South Africans. I just want to know why a country with only about 30 million people should have a student at Hogwartz than a country with about 300 million people.

Do you want to make a comment? Go to my forum at the link below:
-I am John Kerry.
I was against the first Iraq war, I am against the second Iraq war, but I
voted
for it. Now I'm against it but I was for it. I support the UN. I'm against
terrorism and against the Iraq war. But I voted for the Iraq war. So, I voted
against the first war and supported the second war, wait...
I'm against gay marriage but for gay unions. I support gays but think the SF
mayor is wrong. I support gay marriages. No, wait, gay unions.
I'm Catholic. Wait, I'm Jewish. My dad was Jewish. But I was raised Catholic.
What am I? I don't want to confuse people.
I am for abortions, but wait, I'm Catholic, and Catholics are pro-life. But I
might consider putting pro-life judges in office, but I'm not sure. I do know
I
voted for a pro-life judge, but I stated that it was a mistake.
I went to Vietnam. But I was against Vietnam. I testified against fellow US
troops in Vietnam, threw my medals away and led others to do the same. But I
am
a war hero. Against the war.
I stated I threw my medals away then I threw my ribbons away. I then revealed
that I threw my ribbons away but not my medals, then lately I stated that I
threw someone else's medals away and never threw anything of mine away.
I believe Ribbons and medals aren't the same thing. Medals come with ribbons,
so
now I believe that ribbons and medals are the same thing besides the fact
that
ribbons are cloth and medals are medal.
I wrote a book that pictured the US flag upside-down on its cover. But now I
fly
and campaign in a plane with a large flag right-side up on it. But sometimes,
we
fly upside-down for fun.
Yasser Arafat is a hero and a statesman. The Israelis shouldn't kill
Palestinian
terrorists, but they should stop terrorism. Yasser Arafat is a terrorist
supporter. I support Mideast peace.
I am for the common man, unlike Bush. I am against the rich. But my family is
worth 300 million dollars has a jet and many SUVs. I am the common man.
I am against sending jobs overseas. My wife is a Heinz heir, which Heinz has
most factories offshore. I am against rewarding companies for exporting jobs
as
long as it is not Heinz.
I own $1 million in Wal-Mart stock. I believe Wal-Mart is evil by driving
small
business owners out of town. I am a capitalist and I own part of Wal-Mart but
I
am a good guy for small corporate America.
I own SUVs when I talk to my followers in Detroit, MI, Teresa owns SUVs, I
don't, when I talk to tree hugging followers. I have a campaign jet that gets
1/3 mpg, which is great fuel efficiency.
I am against making military service an issue in presidential elections. I
defended a draft dodger Clinton and stated that all serve in their own
capacity
whether they draft dodge or not. Did I mention, I served in Vietnam and am a
hero? Are you questioning my patriotism? I served in Vietnam. My opponent
didn't. I have three purple hearts! I am a hero. I am qualified to run this
country since I served.
I am John Kerry.
the current terror alert level is:
GOODFELLOW GONE BADFELLOW
A group of fairies were seen leaving multiple crime scenes and are suspected of burglary. Puck, also well known as Robin Goodfellow, is believed to be the ringleader of these crimes. The Athenian(who was robbed)'s neighbor said that she saw Puck leaving her neighbor's house, and she believed this looked like a robbery. When she was asked why she didn't get help, she said that it wasn't her problem because her neighbor's kids kill her flowers. It's never her kids for sure. So she said that she guessed it wasn't a robbery. After we told the woman who was robbed, she went to her neighbors and talked about it. They proceeded to give each other a hug, and then she lit her neighbors house on fire. As for Puck, he has an alibi. He was off in Neverland with Michael Jackson for the last week. When Jackson was asked about this, he said that he was never with any little boys and then ran off saying, "They're ignorant, they're all ignorant." If you have any information, please contact the proper authorities.
NEW STARTLING INVENTION:
THE BICYCLE
The bicycle (or for short, the bike) is a very complex machine. It consists of two wheels that go in a circular pattern that propel the bike in a forward movement, a chain that holds the machine together, handle bars to hold on to, and a frame to make it look nice. The popular scientist, Dr. Atkins, invented this while eating some bread, he told us. While we were with Dr. Atkins, he offered us a test ride, and of course I accepted. After falling into the ground twice, I finally made it to a bush which I then crashed into. Finding out that the bush was poisonous and that my face had swollen up, Dr. Atkins fixed me up with his own inflamed urine. A good cure for a swollen face he told me.
