That's a great tip! Thanks!

Oh please. Like people who like celery even eat candy.

I heard if you eat two at a time you burn double the calories from all the chewing. So really you can eat twice as many! Score!

Thanks for this, girl! Come join our group! It's fun!

Cool! I haven't heard much about that, but I'll be excited if it happens that way! The Pottermore staff have changed their minds so many times already, it's hard to say. :)

Week 2 PREFECT time! This week it's BrnldGirl and Amandapratt! Congrats, ladies! Now, we're in week 3 right now, so if you haven't gotten started yet, check out the challenges here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bronwenhilary/view/april-gryffindor-owls-newts-235384 I would remind you of the Week 4 challenges, but the…

I'm only slightly late, so I'm still considering this a victory! (Stupid being sick making me not want to do anything.) Here's our Week 2 results AND the combined results so far! Ravenclaw won this week's Quidditch Match! Congrats, Eagles! Hufflepuff's still in the lead for the House Cup and Quidditch Cup overall, tho.…

I'm sick of feeling sick, but other than that I'm ok. How's the knee?

Guys, we REALLY need more Slytherins! Is anyone interested in joining? Pretty please?

It's been locked since the beginning. No one knows what it is yet, unfortunately.

Double check with your Head of House. Like Sue said, only House Points count for everyone. You may need to see how your House has decided to handle SPEW points. Sorry you didn't get an answer elsewhere, I forget to check other threads sometimes.

Seriously. I don't think you have as far to go as you think, babe!

I think you have hot dogs confused with some other actually delicious food.

I hate grocery shopping, but not because of dummies. I hate it because it takes as much time as other shopping, but when I get home I can't try on the pork chops or paint my nails with the bananas.

Wow, a three way?! Cool.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/543452-check-in-spreadsheet-info The links will always be posted here if you lose them! It's on page 2 of the group. :)

Oh you were?! They're pretty rare. That's awesome. What houses did they give you to choose?

Eat something you DO like.

Just a reminder, here's the Week 3 challenges: WEEK 3: (Starting after check-in between 4/13-4/16 and ending with check-in between 4/20-4/23) OWL (exercise): Military Presses! http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=WNO0l2jertE Each day you reach your daily goal you earn 5 OWLs, you earn 3 OWLs for reaching half way to your…

If you go back to the Diagon Alley chapter and go to Ollivander's, it will have the wand woods and cores on the side with red feathers beside it as extra info. Easy peasy!

1) What wand wood, wand core, wand length, and wand property (swishy, bendy, etc) chose you at Ollivander's? Elm and Phoenix Feather, Ten and Three Quarter inches, Quite Bendy 2) Do you think your wand is a good fit for you based on what Pottermore tells you about it? Why or why not? I think so! The core fits me because…

Great! I think I'll start a thread to talk about wands specificially, too DON'T FORGET TO GO TO THE OTHER THREAD TO CHAT ABOUT THE SORTING!!! :)

I live vicariously through those pins! Also, I stockpile them and try them one at a time on Fridays.

You go to Diagon Alley and get sorted in the same chapters Harry Does in the books. It is VERY overwhelming! Sometimes I go through a few things and then go back later. You can skip around from your Gateway. And being a geek is a requirement for this group :)

Awesome! It's so nice to see you so excited about your Sorting! I love that it helped you rather than gave you a mini crisis :) Hayley- it follows the storyline, so you'll get sorted when Harry gets sorted. No hurry!

Not a clue! I wish I did, but I'm technically not even done with the first one. I haven't spent any real time there in ages. I suspect they'll give the newcomers some time to fish around before they open new stuff.

Awesome! I know waiting for those emails can be agonizing! Did it tell you they might come in waves? For beta I had to wait several weeks! I hope that's not the case here, but you never know. Ah! I'm so excited for you guys!

1) What House did you sort yourself in to (either with quizzes or your own judgement) BEFORE Pottermore? Gryffindor 2) What House did the Pottermore Sorting Hat put you in? Ravenclaw 3) Is this what you were expecting (if not the same)? Why? No, because I'm hot-headed and stubborn most of the time, and very loyal to my…

Gosh, I'm so behind on them! I think I maybe saw the second, but definitely not the others. That's always such a let down when you see the potential being squandered!
