Guest Blogger: Emma Gordon-Smith Talks About Harry Potter

hello, my name is Emma, i am Allys BPFF! (best potterhead friends forever!)

i have been asked to write a post and have been told it can be about anything, so, i will write about harry potter! Harry Potter is a wizard, the only child of James and Lily Potter. He is famous for having survived an attack by Lord Voldemort when he was a baby. He is also sometimes known as ‘The Boy Who Lived’. For the first eleven years of his life Harry lives with his mean aunt and uncle and is unaware of his wizarding blood. while he is also known as “the boy who lived” i like to call him “the cutest boy who lived.” he is tied with draco though. harry potter is honestly a pretty vague topic so im deciding to write about the hair evolution and rating it!

first, harry potter:

in his first year he looks really cute and innocent, so i give it 6/10.

second year is pretty much the same so…. 6/10

third year makes me cry and i give it 100000000000000000/10

fourth year is a bit to long for my liking. but harry is always hot so 8/10

fifth year made a big change, and normally i would give it 9/10, but with that look on his face! definite 10/10

that picture for sixth is hillarious, and reminds me of my fav scene. (when harry takes felix felicis! “harry!” “sirRrR”) 9/10!!!

im sorry, but deathly hallows, year seven. im just not a fan.. of anyone really, but like i said, hes really cute so 7/10!

next i will do draco! (because i cant choose whos cuter!!!!!)

ok so… first year is just absolutley adorable. so 8/10!

second is kinda awkward, 6/10

third is 1000000000000000000000000/10

fourth is 10/10

fifth is 10/10

sixth is 9/10

seventh is 8/10 (im not liking that facial structure though…)

 

i hope you have enjoyed this blog post! in the comments post who your crush is!

My favorite fictional character: Luna Lovegood

I love Luna Lovegood. She is a zany Ravenclaw from Harry Potter and has a charming quirky personality. She is the daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, who is the editor for “The Quibbler” a wizard magazine. She is nicknamed “loony” because she is a little silly, and she suffers from somnambulism, also known as sleepwalking. This is why she wears shoes to bed. J.K. Rowling, the author of the charming Harry Potter series has also confirmed she is related to one of the main antagonists, Draco Malfoy.

Personality Quiz: Who am I??

(insert dramatic effects) In the journey to discover who I am I took some personality quizzes on national geographic! Here are my results:

Greek god quiz:

I am Poseidon, the greek god of the sea. This makes sense, I love water and going to the beach!

Gemstone Quiz:

I am aquamarine! What a lovely blue color!

Ice Cream flavor quiz:

I am black raspberry? Shouldn’t I be blackberry then? *confusion*

(Voice of The Vikings Article) Students Prepare: DPMS Dance Concert 2021

In previous years, DPMS has had a dance concert provided by the school’s dance team. Dance members have provided us information for this year’s concert, and Mrs Wilson and the dance team have confirmed that they are having a dance concert in December for the winter dance concert this year! Details to follow from dance team members Katie O’Neal and Anna Yergensen.

“The winter concert is on December 14 at 7pm.” Says Anna Yergensen, an excellent dance team member, after being asked when the concert is. Will there be a concert this year, and if so in what form?: “Yes. Probably as an assembly. Last year they filmed it.” Says Katie O’Neal, another talented dancer. What is the theme of the concert?: “The nutcracker.” Katie informs us. Given the information, dance team members seem very excited about the concert provided this year.

A classic Christmas tradition follows the dance team’s concert, the nutcracker. The entire dance team will be doing the performance, making it the ultimate winter dance. All readers make sure to come to the nutcracker themed dance concert on December 14, 7 pm to support this year’s amazing dancers!

Jordan Elle Reservoir, Utah: Review

Not too long ago, me, my family, and my friend’s family went to a really cool camping place called Jordan Elle reservoir for a fun semi-camping experience. There are fire pits, cabins, a lake, a hiking area, and other fun things to do while you visit. All the cabins have heaters, beds, a microwave, one outlet, and a framed image. It may not really be camping, but it is a good beginner point to camping if you don’t want to set up a tent, and still have connection to the internet. You still get the nature experience with all the lovely wild life and such, but it isn’t as extreme. When I went it had lovely scenery, and the day was filled with skipping stones, (a sad attempt at) fishing, sitting by the fire, and hiking. By night we were cooking at the fire, stargazing, and joking around when it was nearly pitch-black. Overall, it was a great trip and on the second of October we are going back!
