I know this might be a little weird since this is a fashion blog, but I just wanted to let you know that I love Harry Potter. If I ever get a chance to meet J.K Rowling again, I will thank her for writing such creative and fun books that literally completed my life. I was very young when Harry Potter was introduced to the world, and became the most popular series in the world. I think I was in 3rd grade when the the 7th and last book came out. I actually won a writing competition in the 3rd grade, and I got to go to Carnegie Hall to meet J.K Rowling and get an autographed copy of, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". It's really such a shame that Harry Potter is no more. The years flew by so fast. Can you imagine what J.K Rowling must be feeling right now? Or the actors from the Harry Potter movies? I bet no one even thought for a second that Harry Potter would be such a hit, but look at it now. People can't seem to stop talking about it. Thousands of fans had lined up for each and every premiere or Harry Potter based events. Some have even waited outside in the rain, for days just waiting for the stars to arrive. There's not one person in the entire world that hasn't heard of Harry Potter.
I admit that I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I have read all the books and watched all the movies multiple times, I watch interviews on youtube all about the Harry Potter stars on a regular basis, and I read and write Harry Potter fan-fiction. For those who don't know what fan-fiction is, it's fictional stories that fans write based on popular series and things like that. My obsession has become out of control. I literally can't sleep without watching clips of the films, or reading passages from the stories.
This point of everyone's life has become very emotional. Harry Potter is over. Its hard to believe. The actors such as Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton and Daniel Radcliffe, grew up with Harry Potter. Looking back at the old films just shocks you. Tom Felton who was twelve when he started Harry Potter, is turning 24 this year! It's unbelievable. They were all so young when they started, and it's strange seeing them all as adults now.
I recently went to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the deathly hallows with my friends. We of course, all dressed up as some of the characters. I was Cho Chang, and my best friend was Luna Lovegood. It was a fun experience, and I am glad that I went!
At the London premiere of the last movie, nearly everyone was in tears. Every speech given at the event was just so moving. Just as Daniel (a.k.a Harry Potter) said, Everyone who has followed the Harry Potter films for the last 10 years, will carry this amazing story through the rest of their lives.

Traveling!!!
I'm finally blogging again!! Hurray!! I know what you are thinking...Why can't Gabby blog on a weekly basis so that we can catch up on what Gabby is up to these days? Trust me, I ask myself the same exact question all the time. But yet I go online daily, and tell myself that I will post something on blog, and then I just don't. Hopefully in the future I will become a better blogger.
Anyways, I went to Spain in April. It was for a school trip, and I am so glad that I submitted my application on time. Obviously, the language teachers at my school can't take the entire eighth grade. So, the teachers narrow it down to 8th graders who take Spanish as their second language class, students who earn an 85 or above in Spanish, and of course students who are trustworthy and well behaved. You also had to write an essay of 500 words, explaining why you should go on the Spain trip. Fortunately I was chosen, and before I knew it, I was already on a plane headed to Europe.
I paid special attention to the fashion there. As my class and I walked down Las Ramblas, I took lots of pictures of clothing pieces that stood out to me, or gave me inspiration. Sadly my camera deleted basically all of my good photos, but I bought some things that I really liked while in Spain.....
I am actually going back to Spain is less than 2 weeks, and I am really excited! This time, I will be sure to post some pictures of all the great places I got a chance to visit and of course the fashion!!
