Andy Herrera, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog   “Boys and girls of every age. Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see...This our town of Halloween.”   These famous words mark the start of that now famous anthem that represents all Halloween lovers around the world. No matter how many times I have seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, I still get goosebumps and a surge of excitement.

Dylan J Bittner, guest blogger for the fandombar.com Community bLog On July 31st, 1980, Harry James Potter was born in the village of Godric’s Hollow in the West Country of England. By the age of 11, he was whisked away to Hogwarts on a seven-year adventure to fulfill his destiny and defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort once and for all. We all know the story too well. Even those who have never experienced the magic of Harry Potter know his name. The boy wizard cast a spell like we have never seen on the hearts of millions around the world. After the end...
