I walked into the living room of Casa Encantada after a long shower, which was badly needed after my hectic two-hour gym session involving weightlifting and Muay Thai. Working out has become my routine now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I used to maintain my shape in my past life as well, but back then it was mostly because of my profession. Who wants to see a pornstar who isn’t in good shape? Now, though, I do it as much for my health as for the aesthetics it adds to my looks. I walked…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

- Rod Meyer glanced down at his watch, only to reel back in surprise. Nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes had already passed since the movie began. Most films would have wrapped up by now, yet this one still had several major plot points left to cover. The strange thing was that not for a second had Rod felt bored or thought the film was too long.

- The decision to go to Hogwarts may have been made, but it wasn’t as easy as simply thinking about it. “How will we even get to Hogwarts?” Ron asked, voicing the most important question as he changed out of his wet shirt. “Honeydukes,” Harry suggested after a moment, pulling off his own soaked shirt. “From Hogsmeade. That’s the safest way.” “It was the safest way,” Ron pointed out, now fully dressed. “We aren’t the only ones who know about it. Everyone does. Even the Death…

- Hermione broke down into sobs, and the way Harry pulled her into a hug made the moment even more heartbreaking for the audience. Rod really appreciated how much the acting across the trio had improved over the years. Ron completely stole the scene with the raw intensity of his outburst, while Hermione’s breakdown felt painfully real, the kind of emotion that didn’t seem acted at all. Harry and Hermione waited for Ron for an entire day, hoping he’d return. When he didn’t, they finally packed…

- As the movie continued, Harry, Remus, and Tonks were joined by the rest of the Order, all there to spirit Harry away from Number 4, Privet Drive. Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Bill, Fleur, Arthur Weasley, Mundungus Fletcher, and Kingsley Shacklebolt arrived in quick succession, led by Mad-Eye Moody. The empty living room felt suddenly crowded with all the new arrivals. The moment Moody pulled out a flask of Polyjuice Potion, Harry became very vocal about how he felt about everyone risking their lives for…

- “We’re live here at Trafalgar Square for the premiere of the most awaited film in the biggest movie franchise in the world, !” the female host announced excitedly, her voice rising above the roar of the crowd. “I’m Robin Myers, your host tonight. Let’s meet some of our fans and see what they think.” The camera followed as Robin weaved through the tightly packed crowd, stopping in front of a small group pressed against the barricades, their faces painted and scarves wrapped tightly around…

- April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…
