An Apology To My Closest Mates

DEAR HARRY POTTER, RON WEASLEY, HERMIONE GRANGER, and WAY TOO MANY OTHER GRYFFINDORS TO LIST,

          I hope you can forgive me for no longer being in your house. You know I'd do anything to stay red and gold, but JK Rowling must have plans for me in Slytherin. Maybe I'm the chosen one for Slytherin. Perhaps I'm meant to restore Slytherin house to be as good as it should be and to return honour and respect to a house tarnished with the name of Voldemort.

If this is the task I've been given, then so be it. I'm not sure if it's possible for a Slytherin to be full of Gryffindor traits and really no Slytherin traits, but if it is, then I guess I'm not alone on this. I will still support Gryffindor house all I can. Just don't forget how much you all mean to me, cos, y'know no matter what, you will always be the biggest part of my life.

With a Red and Gold Badge shimmering over to Green and Silver, I bid you all, at least as far as being housemates goes, a grand farewell.

"Tumblrin Everyday" Tom and Rupert Need More Love

A first note of credit to Tessa for half of this blog post title. Now to business.

I spent a good hour on Tumblr last night and I scrolled through pages and pages of great gifs. As I went further into the tumblr cave, I came across more and more of Tom Felton and Rupert Grint. And with each new one, I just had one of those happy fits and it brought me to think.

WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE IN LOVE WITH THESE GUYS?!?!

I still haven't arrived at a conclusion, but finally I put my foot down and said I would write a very long post about these two fantastic men. Both Tom and Rupert have been classy studs since day 1 and you can't deny that. It's incredible how cool these guys are and not so many people realise that. Perhaps because they're blinded by the fact that THEY'RE BOTH GORGEOUS! *cough* I'm a theatre kid. I'm allowed.

You see, it came to me through one of the gifs that people need to like Tom Felton for who he is and not just cos of his looks. And this is where I get to put in my say. I've actually met Tom Felton, though few know that. And because of this, I'm allowed to put in my two cents. Two cents more, mind you, than many should be saying. Tom Felton is 100% indeed a good looking, charming young man. He has great features you cannot deny that, but there is something greater than that. His personality.

Tom Felton has a personality that few other actors do. He is very much a people person and very friendly. When I met him, there were lines of people that would take a good 6 or 7 hours to reach him. Nevertheless he still dealt with every person  he could with a smile on his face the entire time. He's very approachable, a quality most actors don't have. How many famous people out there do you know that you can walk up to and get their autograph and take a picture whilst having a small conversation with the guy in the process. Not many I tell ya, besides some YouTube celebs. He really is one of the nicest people anyone could ever know and with all he's done in his life, it just makes him that much more awesome.

Unfortunately, I can't say I've met Rupert Grint (at least not yet) but I've watched interviews and read so many articles that I can tell you, he too is one great guy. Full of excitement and a good laugh. He may be a little more laid back than Tom, but he is certainly the kind person that you could start a conversation with a tell a joke and that good mate stuff. It just so happens that Gingers are in again and that wins Mr. Grint big points for being one of the most famous and good looking gingers out there. There truly is no other quite like him. I s'pose we could go on about the Phelps twins to carry that on, but we'll save those two for another time.

All in all, basically, Tom Felton and Rupert Grint are famous. But they should be famous for more than their good looks (we're holding off on Harry Potter relations or this post will never end.) They should also be famous for their amazing personalities.
