28 THINGS THAT HAPPENED AFTER THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS ENDED
1. Harry married Ginny Weasley. They had three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.
2. Kingsley became permanent Minister for Magic, and naturally he wanted Harry to head up his new Auror department… The Ministry of Magic was de-corrupted, and with Kingsley at the helm the discrimination that was always latent there was eradicated. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny et al would of course play a significant part in the re-building of wizarding society through their future careers.
3. Hermione and Ron married and had two children, Hugo and Rose.
4. Draco Malfoy married Astoria Greengrass, the younger sister of Daphne. They had one son, Scorpius Hyperion.

5. After the death of his parents, Teddy Lupin was raised by his grandmother Andromeda.

6. George Weasley married his Quidditch teammate Angelina Johnson. They had two children, Fred and Roxanne.

7. Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic… Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She then moved (despite her jibe to Scrimgeour) to the Deptartment of Magical Law Enforcement where she was a progressive voice who ensured the eradication of oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.

8. Bill and Fleur Weasley’s first child, a daughter, was born on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. They named her “Victoire,” which means “victory” in French.

9. Dementors were no longer used by the Ministry of Magic.“The use of Dementors was always a mark of the underlying corruption of the Ministry, as Dumbledore constantly maintained.”

10. Ginny Weasley became a professional Quidditch player for a few years, then retired to become a Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.“After a few years as a celebrated player for the Holyhead Harpies, Ginny retired to have her family and to become the Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet.”

11. Harry and Dudley made a point to see each other and get their families together as adults.“Harry and Dudley would still see each other enough to be on Christmas-card terms, but they would visit more out of a sense of duty and sit in silence so that their children could see their cousins.”

12. Percy Weasley became an official in the new Ministry of Magic under Kingsley Shacklebolt and married a woman named Audrey. They had two daughters, Molly and Lucy.

13. Bill and Fleur Weasley had three children: Victoire, Louis, and Dominique.

14. Hermione went back to Hogwarts to complete her seventh year of study and her N.E.W.T.S. Harry and Ron did not. “She would definitely, definitely go back. And she would want to graduate, and I think that she was- I mean,I love Hermione. She went with Ron and Harry because she has a really good heart. That’s not about brain. Ultimately, she had a bigger heart than she had a brain and that’s saying something for Hermione. But did she- Was she naturally drawn to battle? No, she wasn’t. She’s not a Bellatrix. She’s not a woman who actually wants to be hurting, fighting, killing. Not at all. She would be glad to go back to school, be glad to get back to study, and then would join [Harry and Ron] at the Ministry.”

15. Mr. Weasley eventually fixed Sirius Black’s motorcycle and gave it to Harry.

16. Luna Lovegood married Rolf Scamander, the grandson of naturalist Newt Scamander. They had two children, twin boys named Lorcan and Lysander.

17. Minerva McGonagall became headmistress of Hogwarts.“Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster. McGonagall was really getting on a bit.”

18. Harry ensured that Severus Snape’s portrait was restored to its proper place in the Hogwarts headmaster’s office.“[The absence of Snape’s portrait in the final scene of Deathly Hallows] was deliberate. Snape had effectively abandoned his post before dying, so he had not merited inclusion in these august circles. However, I like to think that Harry would be instrumental in ensuring that Snape’s portrait would appear there in due course… Harry would ensure that Snape’s heroism was known.”

19. Alice and Frank Longbottom never recovered — they lived out their lives in St. Mungo’s.“I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville’s parents is even worse than what happened to Harry’s parents. The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently.”

20. Harry lost the ability to speak to snakes when the Horcrux inside him was destroyed.

21. Firenze was eventually welcomed back into the centaur herd.“The rest of the herd was forced to acknowledge that Firenze’s pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable.”

22. Cho Chang married a Muggle.

23. Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley became boyfriend and girlfriend.

24. Gilderoy Lockhart never recovered from the injuries he sustained in the Chamber of Secrets.

25. Neville Longbottom became the Hogwarts Herbology professor. He married Hannah Abbott, who became the new landlady at The Leaky Cauldron.

26. Dolores Umbridge was arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.

27. Harry and Ginny’s children stole the Marauder’s Map and snuck it into Hogwarts.

28. Harry, Ron, and Hermione became memorialized in Chocolate Frog cards.

INVISIBILITY CLOAK IS REAL
The Elder
Wand and Resurrection Stone may still be locked away in J. K. Rowling's
imagination, but the third Deathly Hallow made a rare appearance on stage in
Long Beach this week.
Baile Zhang,
an assistant professor of physics at Nanyang Technological University in
Singapore, showed off his "invisibility cloak" on Monday at the
TED2013 talks in Long Beach.
Speaking as
part of TED Fellows Day, when young researchers, artists, and techno-geniuses
seen as being worthy of mentoring give short four-minute presentations, Zhang wowed the crowd with
his amazing cloak.
As you might
guess, Zhang's cloak is a bit different than the one Harry Potter wore. It's
tiny right now, very much in the prototype phase. And while you might expect it
to have some grand purpose, it doesn't. Zhang created it solely for fun.
Speaking
with editors at Boing Boing, Zhang explained that the cloak is made of two
optical crystals that are found in nature. When cemented together, they bend
light and suppress shadows to the point that they can hide objects. The demo at
the show saw the cloak (which is kept in a tiny clear box) make a Post-It note
vanish.
The TED talk
was the first time Zhang’s Invisibility Cloak has been shown publicly to a
large audience, though scientists have been enamored with it for years. In
2010, an earlier version of the cloak ranked fourth among the year's top 10
breakthroughs, as ranked by Physics World.
Some people
on Twitter were even more enthusiastic – although, it wouldn't be Twitter
without a little snark.
"In
race to invent cool random stuff, invisibility cloak on track to beat flying
car," noted Luke Buckmaster.

HULYO DIECIOCHO: ANG SORE THROAT AT ANG HARRY POTTER 3D
Photo Credit: www.gatewaycineplex10.com
Lunes. Ginawa
ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya para maaga akong makatapos sa trabaho. Hanggat
maaari ay kailangan kong makaalis ng opisina ng alas-tres.

HULYO DIECISEIS: ANG SINE, ANG BLOOD TEST AT ANG GASTRO (USAPANG PUSO SA PUSO PART VIII)
Hiniling kong walang
pasok sa araw na ito para makapanuod ng ikalawang bahagi ng Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Hulyo quince ang unang araw ng
pagpapalabas nito sa mga sinehan (na siya namang alam ko) ngunit mas naunang
ipalabas ito sa Maynila ng isang araw. Hulyo catorce pa lang, pinilahan na ang
nasabing pelikula sa mga sinehan ng Maynila. Maraming tao ang nag-aabang sa
pelikulang ito kaya naman asahan mong sandamakmak ang mga panatikong manunuod
nito. Ang Hulyo quince ay Biyernes, ang araw na kung kailan abala ako sa
trabaho. Kaya naman, di ko ninais na manuod sa araw na ito dahil inaasahan kong
di naman kaagad ako makakauwi ng maaga. Ayoko rin namang manuod nang
gabing-gabi na.
Ngunit sa hindi
inaasahang pagkakataon, hindi matutuloy ang balak kong manuod kami ng Sabado,
Hulyo dieciseis. Nauna kong napagsabihan si Leah na manuod kami sa araw na ito.
Kahit anong oras naman kasi ay pwede siya basta't maagang ipaalam sa kanya. Si
Paul naman, ang alam ko kasi ay wala siyang pasok tuwing Sabado. Sabi ni Leah,
may team building daw sina Paul ng Sabado. At hindi rin daw
pwede ng Linggo. Di ko rin naman nais manuod ng sine tuwing Linggo dahil sa
sandamukal na tao ang naglilipana sa mall sa araw na ito.
Ang binibini mismo
ang nagdala sa'kin doon sa registration ng Pathology.
Naalala ko, na kailangan pala munang magparehistro bago makuhanan ng dugo (na
siya namang SOP sa bawat departamento ng nasabing
ospital). Ciento catorce ang numerong ibinigay sa akin. Nang mapadako
ang paningin ko sa numerong kasalukuyang nasa queue, tila
matatagalan ako sa paghihintay. Ngunit sadyang mabilis ang proseso. Wala
pang quince minutos at tinawag na ang numero ko. Mabilis din naman akong
nakuhanan ng dugo.
Mula sa Pathology,
bumalik ako sa Cathedral Heights Buiding para naman magpasuri
sa isang gastroenterologist. Ayon sa Medicard,
alas-deiz ng umaga bukas ang klinika ng doktor. Nang dumating ako sa labas ng
klinika, may nakapaskil na bukas ang klinika mula alas-nueve hanggang
alas-doce. Mga ilang minuto nang nakakaraan makalipas ang alas-nueve.
Ang magnesiem citrate ay mabibili lamang sa St.
Luke's pharmacy. Nagkakahalaga itong Php 103.32 samantalang
ang Laxatrol sa kanila ay nagkakahalagang Php116.76. Kung
sa labas ka bibili ng Laxatrol, naglalaro ito sa Php69.00.
Sinubukan ko kasing bumili sa isang generic drug store ngunit
wala pala silang ibinibenta. Sa pinakamalapit namang Mercury Drug sa St.
Luke's, wala silang nakaimbak.
Kinagabihan, oatmeal lang
ang kinain ko. Sinubukan kong uminom ng maraming tubig bago pa man
maghatinggabi. Ininom ko rin ang dalawang gamot na inireseta sa'kin; ang Laxatrol at
ang Magnesium Citrate.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PICTURES
The second part of Deathly Hallows premiered in Manila on July 15. But I've just watched it yesterday (July 18) on 3D at Gateway Mall together with my friends. It was an awesome movie experience. The price of Php 270.00 was worth enough watching the epic finale of Harry Potter.
