Good morning, folks. Since I love you all so much, the HBP update is a couple days early - and not only is it the HBP update, but it is the first of two HBP updates, since my 'to do' list ended up being longer than I thought it would be.

(Note: Canon!Blaise and/or Neville will not be appearing in either update. I really, really wanted to include Blaise because he's such a wonderful bastard, but I just can't find space for them right now, but I will soon.)

Note about icons: I feel the need to reiterate this point - please do not use any icons with major HBP spoilers (the identity of the HBP, who dies, how it happens) in non-spoiler threads until, let's put a number on it, August 16th AT LEAST. This includes allusions to or implications of major spoilers. Okay? Please?

Let's move on.

Also, this update includes spoilers up to chapter 19 (page 390-ish) and I would expect any comments to as well. Please be advised.

'The Other Minister'



I desperately wish Scrimgeour wasn't such a jerk, because his introduction in the book makes him sound so awesome. I read his description and thought 'yeah, I'd do him'. ._. Alas.

Blanks: Scrimgeour and Fudge

'Oppugno!'



Hee hee hee.

Blanks: Hermione, Ron and Harry

'Maybe it's a clever ruse...'



Doing this picture reminded me why I started this LJ in the first place. XD You'll never know how many tries it took me to get that look of glazed distraction on Luna's face.

Blanks: Luna w/megaphone, Luna without and McGonagall

And finally:

I find the mental image of Kingsley Shacklebolt (who, incidentally, is played by Samuel L Jackson in my head) as the Prime Minister's secretary to be singularly hilarious, so I knocked this out quickly:



Blanks: Kingsley


Iconses:












And lest I forget:




See you all again in a couple of days, folks. ♥

Love,
