Is the Vanishing Cabinet J.K. Rowling's original idea? I don't think it was... I think she might've tweaked it here and there.

I'm just curious, what do you think?

I don't celebrate Halloween, that's why I'm asking. I'm doing this for a book. There's obviously carved pumpkins, glowing lights...and I think there's some scarecrows hanged on trees. Anything else? Also, what were you dressed up as?

One of my friend (a huge HP fan) asked me "If you had to sum up the Golden Trio's noticeable traits in one word, what would it be?" Hermione would be the clever one. I think Harry would be the misunderstood one, I'm not so sure about that. What about Ron, though? I thought he'd be the funny one.

What do you think?

What's that called above the bed? A ceiling? A sideway ceiling?

I use a lot of sentences that are phrases hooked up with commas. How can I prevent this? :/

Any similar words/phrases to "Just then." "At that moment"?

I tend to use it a lot in my story :P

Evil versus good isn't original neither is discovering your magical powers and being whisked off to a school.

So tell me, what's original about Harry Potter?

I keep starting my sentence with my main character's name or he and frankly, I'm tired of it. So could you help me with this sentence and suggest any tips to my problem? Thank you.

His curiosity sparked at the sight of the paper lying on the floor.

My main character is trying to hide in a train station. I've completely forgotten what a train station even looks like now, it's been nine years for me since I've been there.

So where can my main character hide in a train station?

I'm describing the cold weather at King's Cross. Weather is not a big deal when it comes to writing, that's why I made the sentences short.

Giggling children slipped on frost as the biting December air chilled their bones. There were no signs of getting warmer so James wrapped his coat more tightly around himself.

Right, I'm an Apple User. I'm getting sick of my iPhone4. The battery life charge is just pure embarrassment, I have to charge twice/thrice in a day if I put the brightness on. And keeping my brightness on the lowest is not cool, especially when my friends borrows it and gives it back to me saying that my phone is dead unless I put my brightness up.

I'm not fond of the "no flash support" either. I'm officially done with iPhones, do not recommend me the iPhone5 because let's face it, there's not much improvement there. The phone only became taller, extra new features and there's a BIT improvement for the battery life charge, but that's it.

I was considering the Samsung Galaxy S4. My sister owned the Samsung Galaxy S1 and I really enjoyed the phone, it was fun and the battery charge last long. Like when it was on 15%, it lasted half a day. When it's 15% for iPhone users, that's the signal for us to run and haunt down our charger. And it supports flash, which is a bonus for me because I like to watch things online.

Plus, I heard the camera was excellent and I like big screens also. Yeah, I know the Samsung Galaxy S5 is just around the corner but I haven't got a clue on what it looks like...

So I don't know if I should buy S4 because none of my friends has it so I can't experience it first-hand...

Calculate the sum of the following geometric 2 + 4 + 8 + 16.......as far as the 8th term progression.

A geometric progression has 6 terms and if 3rd and 4th terms are 28 and -56 respectively.

A) Find the first term.

B) The sum of geometric progression.

Yeah, shoot me...but I do know what's it about, of course.

The Catching Fire just came out and the hype is back.

So I was wondering what makes the Hunger Games interesting for YOU? Who is your favorite character? And if you were the author, what would you like to add or change in the story?
