Ok in Order of the Pheonix (the book) Dolores Umbridge reveals that she sent dementors after Harry at the beginning, my question is did she send the dementors after Harry to get harry expelled because she knew harry would perform illegal underage magic by summoning a patronous, or was her intention to have Harry's soul sucked out by the dementors?

Sorry, if this question seems obvious, but I'm being serious. All actors seem the same to me. But I've heard people say that certain actors/actresses were bad. I've heard people say Orlando Bloom was "wooden" and only an actor because of his looks. My question is: what makes someone a bad actor/actress? Or what makes an actor good or Academy Award worthy?

I've used a photographer's vest in the past but I feel more like I'm going on a safari than photographing a wedding. The camera bag seems too bulky but I've seen some photographers just use a fanny pack. Any other methods used? Suggestions? Thanks!

I am creating a video directory of every dance style from around the world known to man.

I have an expanding category list of 440+ styles of dances and am collecting and cataloging, via the web, video coverage (performances, instructional, commentaries and creative displays) of the various dance styles, to include their variations, with the help of the World Wide Web community.

It is a work in progress (in other words still collecting and cataloging thousands of videos) but the project is already up and running.

Does anyone know of anyone doing something similar to this on this large of scale?

Which is your favourite book? Also I read on his website that his dog Trixie died........... anyone familiar with his books knows that he puts a clever dog in most of his stories. He's written a lovely tribute and it bought a tear to my eye.

Sometimes,
I feel like all the paper in the world,
Could not express how I feel.

Others,
I feel like my dull emotions,
Could hardly fill a page.

Sometimes,
I feel as if I know exactly who I am,
And everything fits in place.

Others,
I feel as if I am somebody else,
And I can’t fit in my own skin.

Sometimes,
The world seems to be such a happy place,
Where I can achieve my dreams.

Others,
I wonder how people could be so horrible,
And where I stand on the issue of humanity.

Sometimes,
I know exactly what I want,
And feel as if I can get it.

Others,
Everything feels so out of reach,
I wonder why I bother trying.

Sometimes,
Joy is the only thing I can feel,
And smiling is the only thing I can do.

Others,
Sadness envelopes me for no reason,
And mysterious tears fall.

Sometimes,
I am grateful for who I am,
And what I feel.

Others,
I wish I was immune to the pain of life,
And that I was somebody else.

So, anyone whose read my other questions or my info, you'd know that my dream is to get into acting in screen plays. So, yesterday I told my mom for the second time that I want to start being like a child movie star. And she had to bring in reason. She reminded me that very few people actually make it into big time movies and the rest are leftovers who are left with being extras in films. Now, I have zero expirience in acting but- I have been in a few of my brothers home movies and I've been playing pretend since I was in kindergarten. I practice acting facial expressions in mirrors and do little things to make sure I don't look into the camera by making sure that in an entire day I never look in a mirror. So, help me out, does what I just described sound like I could be an actor in screne plays?
