Ed Sheeran "LEGO House" video goes LEGO

If you've seen the music video for Ed Sheeran's song, "LEGO House" then you know that it features Ron from Harry Potter as a hilarious stalker.

(Buy Harry Potter: The Complete 8 Film Collection on Blu-ray HERE)

Well, someone has now recreated the entire video in what else but LEGOs! Check it out, it's pretty awesome.

Harry Potter!

Went last night to the Polson Showboat Theater for the midnight showing of Harry Potter and it was weird to begin with for a couple of reasons.

1. I hadn't seen the last three movies so I was a little behind on what was going on in the whole Harry Potter universe but I'm sure you can excuse me for that since I'm a 20-something male and being a hard-core Potter fan would just be a wee bit weird.

2. I was watching the movie in Polson, MT and it literally felt like everyone in town was at the movie. No joke. And the dressing up was at a minimum because that's not who they roll in Montana.

3. Our paper had just done a feature on how the theater had switched from film to digital projectors so it was cool to see the kind of new-wave of theater technology.

Anyways, it was an awesome movie but I won't go into too much critical analysis because me talking about Harry Potter would be like Miley Cyrus talking about the NFL... not exactly an expect on the whole thing but there were some things I liked about it though.

SPOILER ALERT - I'm not going to ruin the entire movie, but come on, don't freak out... the books have been out for a long time.

1. Be prepared for akward cleavge shots of Hermione. Not kidding.

2. I found myself laughing at Voldemort more than being scared of him. This guy is like Charlie Sheen, Smeagle and the bad guy from "Waterworld" all rolled into one. Every scene he's in, it's very entertaining namely because he's the wizard version of that bar guy douche.

3. Final Epic Battle in the Matrix Trilogy < Final Epic Battle in the Harry Potter Series. It's pretty awe-inspiring and in this age where we've seen roughly a million different takes on a huge battle, this one is pretty unique and awesome.

4. Voldemort handles crunch time about as well as Lebron James.

Right now the Calgary Flames are taking on the Montreal Canadiens in the 2011 Heritage Classic.

The game is outdoors in the elements of McMahon Stadium in Calgary.

Oh, and to celebrate the Calgary Flames are wearing their Harry Potter uniforms. Sure hope Voldemort doesn't show up.

Harry Potter fan commits suicide over spoiler

I heard this on the radio today. They relayed it as a real story. Read it, then read below.

HUDSON, OHIO (The Borowitz Report) -- A rabid Harry Potter fan took his life yesterday after inadvertently learning a plot spoiler from the soon-to-be-released J.K. Rowling movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." 



Jude Ralston, 32, of Hudson, Ohio left a suicide note indicating that since overhearing the plot spoiler at a shopping mall earlier in the day, "I no longer have a reason to live." 



Family and friends who gathered for a candlelight memorial outside Mr. Ralston's house remembered a man who seemed to live only for Harry Potter - and wondered if they could have done anything to prevent his tragic fate. 



"When Jude got that vanity license plate that said 'Hogwarts,' that seemed harmless enough," said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. "But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help." 



According to friends of Mr. Ralston, the Potter fanatic had done everything in his power to protect himself from stumbling across Potter plot spoilers, even disconnecting his computer from the Internet and avoiding his favorite vintage comic book store. 



Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston's death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place. 



"In my heart I believe that could have saved Jude's life, even if he didn't have one," she said.


Once I got to work, I got to investigating. Upon further review I found that this was actually a hoax set up from 2005. Here's what Snopes.com said in a nutshell.

The hoax was initiated by Andy Borowitz in 2005 before the release of the 6th Harry Potter book. He produces a daily humor column and used that as a story. News organizations picked it up, and since the 6th movie is currently being released, it flamed to life again. Silly wizard boys.

Reasons why you're still single... Harry Potter

You're a dude, and you're excited for the upcoming Harry Potter movie. Listen, I know baseball is the only thing keep sports fans alive right now, but the lull in action is no excuse to jump off the deep end and get pumped up for movies based on children's books.

It's just not right, nor is it natural.

And while guys may do this as a ploy to go on a date, don't be fooled, girls are taking you to Harry Potter for the sole reason of not going alone.

Why?

Because they like Harry Potter and they are single as well.
