Herbherth on Hogwarts(or near it)


OMG, It's too many H's

Well, can you believe? I found it!

I was going to london by ship, and found a huge castle, I needed to see what was that.

I went to a city that was near the castle, to ask about...

The city, to tell you the truth, was quite strange, there were somethings there that I never saw before(and now, I wonder if what I saw even was possible), for example, there were some candles flying!

And I'm sure that I saw two brooms racing...

Anyway, when I asked about the castle they thought that was strange someone doesn't know what the castle was, and so they asked what kind of wizard was I...and so I said: Wizard? I'm not a wizard. I'm a pirate.

And then, they said: Pirate? You will never find Hogwarts again Pirate!!!

And I saw a great light, and woke up on my ship, in what seemed the same place than before but...without any buildings...


And that was how I find Hogwarts(or almost it)...


Bye

Curious facts about Alice...

Did you know...

That Alice was based in a real child called Alice Liddell?

The original book was called "Alice's Adventures Underground" and that was written only for the Liddell child?

The pictures that nowadays can be found on the book are the same then when was published for the first time(and they were drawn by a Carroll's friend)?

Lewis Carroll is the latin translation of Charles Lutwidge, that is the name of the autor(Lewis = Lutwidge and Carroll = Charles)?

The hatter was crazy because on the date there was an expression that said "mad as a hatter" because the glue used by hatters possibly made them crazy?

The book has more than 20 adaptations for movies?

The book has more than one pornographic version for TV?

Most of the characters have a reason to exist?

The real Alice had dark hair and a short fringe?

The Hatter is in both books, though they are different stories?


Did you know?

Want to know more?

Read the book ;)

Tomorrow is my last post about alice, I swear.

My favorite movie about Alice

How I said before(did I?), Alice in wonderland has a lot of movies, but my favorite movie is one from 1999.

In my opinion, this is the best adaptation from a book ever!
Really, this is worthy, I've never seen speeches so similar to the book. There are times that I remember exactly what is written in the book. And the parts where she is in wonderland and she is through the looking glass is very clearly different.

Of course, still there are parts that are completely different of the book(like the end), but I think that even these were awesome.

And the effects, for 1999 are fantastic!

Really, watch this movie, here a little trailer for you:



And just for you know, Alice has so many movies, that there is also a pornographic version of the book(from 1976), feel free to look for =D, hahahahha(I just know about this movie because I read about all the movies).

Yeah, I think that the trailer said all...bye o/

My friend- Yes...I do know what is a looking glass, but what do you mean when you say that you went through a FUCKING MIRROR?

What? Did you never read the book?

My friend- Book? What book?

THIS book (I'm showing him this book)

My friend- Hmmmm...Yes, now I understood

At last...

My friend- Wow! That should have been awesome!

Yes, it was. Now can I tell them about my adventure?

My friend- Of course...why not?

Thank you, now, people, It was...

My friend- And I want to know about it too.

Yeah, I know, how I was saying, it was...

My friend- This should be one of the good stories

Yeah, why don't you shut up and discover it?

My friend- I'm sorry

No problems. Well, that was awesome people, you will never believe in what I saw...

My friend- I can bet not.

SHUT UP

My friend- Sorry, sorry, sorry...

Why did I invite you to came here?

My friend- I don't know, but I'm so glad that you did it.

That was a rhetorical question.

My friend- Sorry again, that was the last time...

I can bet(not)

My  friend- I swear.

Who?

My friend- What?

Nothing.

My friend- Oh

How I was trying to say, it was the most wonderful things that I ever saw...

My friend- Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, hahahahahahahahah

What? What now?

My friend- I understood, swear who? Hahahahahaha. That was funny

Good that you under...

My friend- Ok, ok, so, I promise.

Great. Now can I?

My friend- Of course.

The country through the looking glass wasn't the wonderland, but was wonderful

My friend- Why don't you say mirror instead looking glass?

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT! CAN I TALK PLEASE?

My friend- Sorry, sorry...

Great, now I gonna try to talk a little faster because...

My friend- OH MY GOD

WHAT?

My friend- OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

WHAT? What's happening?

My friend- The post is ending and you still don't post anything!

My friend- Quickly! Tell us something.

My friend- No times for jokes, run, run, run.

It wasn't a joke. Now...Can you leave here?

My friend- What?

LEAVE HERE NOW!

My friend- Ok. Ok. I'm going, after I will read this on the blog, no problem...

NOW

My friend- I'm not here anymore.

At last, a little of peace. Sometimes I ask myself why is he my friend...But now I can tell you what I saw. And it was wonderful, it was amazing, it was just unbelievable. What I saw was...[no space left]

Alice through the looking glass

Yeah, a lot of people don't know, but Alice has two books.

(PS: don't try to understand, this is only possible reading the book)


And because it I don't like the movies, because most of them mix both stories, but are totally different stories, for example, Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters from the second book...

So, the second story you probably don't know, Looking glass, if you still didn't see the vocabulary, means mirror.
In this book Alice goes to a weird world, where flowers can speak, and the most important, the world is like a big chessboard(and Alice is a pawn).

The story is very simple, she just walks along the chapter 'till last square of the board and becomes a queen, but what happen before and after this is surprise ;)

This is one of my favorite books, I recommend, in special if you love chess or crazy stories ;)


See ya o/

Alice in Wonderland Theme by Danny Elfman

I love the musics of this man, all is always AWESOME

And here the music that he did for Alice in wonderland:

Alice Theme by Danny Elfman

Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?
So near, so far, so in-between
What have you heard? What have you seen?
Alice! Alice! Please, Alice!

Oh, tell us, are you big or small?
To try this one or try them all
It's such a long, long way to fall
Alice! Alice! Oh, Alice!

How can you know this way not that?
You choose the door, you choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day
And nothing is quite what is seems
You're dreaming! You're dreaming! Oh, Alice!

Oh, how will you find your way?
Oh, how will you find your way?

No time for tears today. No time for tears today.
No time for tears today. No time for tears today.

So many doors, how did you choose?
So much to gain, so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Remember what the Dormouse said, Alice!

Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we'll understand
Alice! Alice! Oh, Alice!

Oh, how will you find you way?
Oh, how will you find you way?

Book: Alice's adventures in wonderland

I didn't post any book here a long time.

But now, I gonna talk about one that I most like. This book is easy to learn english, I'm talking about "Alice's adventures in wonderland" or just "Alice in wonderland".

All these characters really exist in the book...Yes, there is a griffo in the book(and a turtle that cries)

This book was written by Lewis Carrol (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in 1865, and since then there are a lot of movies about this story (nowadays, 21 movies, you can watch the first version(black and white and with only 10 minutes) clicking here)

But unfortunately, only the movies made by Disney became famous(two cartoons[both are the same, but the second is a little better drawn or painted, I don't know] and the newest movie with Johnny Depp). But I gonna talk about my favorite movie next week, today I'm talking about the book.

First of all, forget the movie, in special the last one, I was very sad because they neither changed the name of the movie to a better one, like "Alice after ten years" or "Alice is back to wonderland", but put the name of the book...

I hated this...

But the cartoon was not bad at all, the beginning was very similar to the book, but the middle and the end weren't.

Well, everybody knows the story of alice, 'cause it I gonna talk only why to read the book.
Of course, everybody knows too that the book ALWAYS is better than any movie, and is great to train your english, because there are jokes that you only understand reading in english.

There are a lot of other curious facts about Alice, but I will talk about it along these two weeks, yeah, these weeks are going to be all about Alice, See ya =D

Water for Elephants

Right, I discover this yesterday, and I didn't believe!

Who knows me, knows that I love the book "Water for Elephants" and I say ever than possible that this is the best book ever!

Well, yesterday I discover that there is a movie!!!

Here is the trailer:


And how there are some people from the site "skoob" reading it, I will do a brief description of the book:

The book tells the history of a man that gave up of the college and, maybe by fate, started to work in a circus...
In the circus, he should take care of the animals, and the owner of the circus bought an elephant useless, that was very stupid.
Between other things, he needs to teach this elephant, and fall in love for a stripper.

I don't want to talk more about it to don't spoil the book, but I will only say that I loved this book because he shows the dark side of the circus.

It is a great book to read!!!



Well, see you =)
