Friday Funhouse: June 8, 2012

Last Friday, we had a contest. All you had to do was RT the blog post. It was pretty much the easiest contest to win of all time.

Here were the winners:

- Kat Morrissette & Jen Deibel both won copies of Jeff Goins' new book, You Are a Writer.

- Jon Stolpe and Jon Hansen each won free shirts from OurShirtsDontSuck.com. 

- Andrea Ward won a free leather journal from OurShirtsDontSuck.com. 

- I also have two invites to Gentlemint.com to give away that are currently unclaimed. If you want them, just be the first to say so in the comment section for today's post.

Here's a recap of the past week, just in case you missed it:

On Monday, I wrote a guest post for AndiLit.com about what it means to be successful as a writer. 

On Tuesday, I showed off new, 4-D pictures of my kid.

On Wednesday, I guest posted at RandomlyChad.com about the superiority of America.

On Thursday, I was honest about 3 things that embarrass me.

Now, on to today's shenanigans, tomfoolery and straight-up fanstasticality:

New Year's Resolutions: Celebrity Edition

Today is New Year's Eve. Every blog and his brother (Do blog's have siblings? If not, they should.) is posting an article about what the respective author's New Year's resolutions are for the upcoming year.

Me? I'm gonna pass. I'm not that important. Who cares about my resolutions?

Instead, I decided to take a stab at what the resolutions should be for some key celebrities.

Just for giggles.

When Harry Left Hogwarts

When I first started dating my wife, one of her guilty pleasures that I found out about was her love of all things Harry Potter. Correction. There was nothing "guilty" about it. She was unabashedly a gigantic fan. 

Initially, I teased her about it. They were silly kids movies, as far as I was concerned. I loved her despite the infatuation, but I wasn't interested in coming along for the ride.

Three years later, I'm hooked and have seen all eight of the movies. What can I say? It grew on me.

Recently, a documentary was filmed regarding the three child stars of the Harry Potter movie franchise. The angle had to do with the aftermath of the series. Have they been pigeon-holed? What will their careers be like post-Harry Potter? Etc., etc.

After the jump, you can watch the entire documentary (in two parts). I think you'll find it interesting, even if you're not a Harry Potter fan.
