Update: 7pm
It is my pleasure to present to you, as promised,
the long awaited second edition of our Guest Blog:
Two-movies for Deathly Hallows...? Sounds to me
like WB is reluctant to let their cash cow go.
And congrats to the butcher...I mean, director of
OotP, David Yates, for his Empire win. I guess, he
deserved it. Anyone who can kill gold does deserve
some sort of recognition...
End Mini Rant!
**********
I'll be back with the Guest Blog update later.
I couldn't get the page to cooperate with me, but
now you get to have something to look forward to...

Weekend Update:
This was supposed to be posted last night, but my
Internet connection's been wacky and it took
forever to go through.
Pauline Fossil is nervous about playing Alice,
she's afraid she won't be any good. Petrova tells
her to suck it up. Poor Pauline is stuck battling
her insecurities by herself...Emma is priceless!
She plays vulnerability fearlessly, like a hero!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
I'm not Irish, but you can kiss me anyway! ;) But
you can keep the corned beef and cabbage...sorry,
but, ew.
More Ballet Shoes: Pauline's first show as Alice.

Emma Watson's 18th Birthday project is well
underway. The members of Dumbledore's Army have
been putting a lot of work into it and things are
beginning to really take shape.
Check out the status of the project here:
Ril
| 18 March 2008 |
Ciao! Oggi e` la festa di San Giuseppe. Santo Patty
e` per l'irlandese. San Giuseppe e` per l'italiani.
Because the Irish get to celebrate St. Patty's Day,
the Italians get St. Joseph. (Click here to learn
why.)
Happy Feast Day to all the Joseph's, Josephine's,
Jose's, Joanna's and all forms of Jo! ;)
Il vostro per sempre, Riliano

DUDES!! I just booked a trip to Europe for this
summer!! I am so superexcited about it...this is a
dream come true for me!
Heathy and I will be winging our way across the
Atlantic in July....so watch out Europe!

I don't know if I'll be able to get another update
posted this weekend. We'll be running back and
forth to the hospital to spend the holiday with my
grandmother - who is doing better, finally.
I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!
Hope you have a great day!
Ril
| 22 March 2008 |
Hope everyone had a marvelous holiday. I regret to
inform you all that I have yet to eat my first Peep
of the season...a travesty, I know. It is one I
intend to remedy by stealing some from my little
sister's bag of Easter goodies. As she thinks this
website is a 'total nerdfest,' there's no chance of
her seeing this and being forewarned.
She's guarding that bag like a dragon guards its
jewels, so until I can lure her away, here are some
wonderful screencaps of Pauline relishing all the
applause from her first show.
You have a date with destiny tonight, Mr. Peep!
Rilian
| 24 March 2008 |
Ok...we're having tremendous problems with our
server.
The site seems to work fine under booksandwands.com
but once you add the www. to the address it takes
you to an ad page. I did not put the ad page up. I
don't know what's going on. And my webhost has
adopted the tactic of ignoring my emails and
putting me on hold for hours on end.
I apologize for any confusion. Believe me, I will
get to the bottom of this. But for now please type
booksandwands.com in your address bar.
Rilian
| 26 March 2008 |
Problem seems to be fixed. We're still working it
out, but both addresses work.
Thanks for bearing with us through that confusion.

Birthday Project:

Emma Watson has donated a fly she tied herself,
framed and signed by her to the Wild Trout Trust.
She has donated to this charity before, raising
1500 pounds last year for her donated items which
included a bag given to her by the producers of the
Potter films.
You can check out Wild Trout Trust for details. The
item goes to auction on Monday, March 31.
Ril
| 28 March 2008 |
Thanks to Christina at WTT we've got the PDF of the
auction catalogue for your review. If you'd like to
make a bid, Emma's Grey Wulff fly is Lot 49.
Here's a photo of the whole thing and a close up
view of the fly.

Cas is fired!
April Fool's! Actually, Cas will be up soon with
more Emma notes!
And Happy Birthday to the Weasley twins...they
couldn't have picked a better birthday, why it's
almost as if some omniscient author chose it for
them...
Here's your real update. Pauline's success is going
to her head, she's starting to act the diva!
Ril
| 1 April 2008 |
Sorry for the major delay in updates. We're
currently working 'round the clock on our very
extra special surprise treat for the 15th.
I've tried to update before but my internet has not
been cooperating. I'll be back with more soon.
And Cas has promised me an update as well so...stay
tuned!
- ***Update***
Here's some more Ballet Shoes screencaps. Pauline's
ego is starting to annoy her family.
Ril
| 7 April 2008 |
More screencaps today!
Pauline pays the price for her ego trip.
Ril
| 9 April 2008 |
Moving on to a third page of screencaps!
Pauline reveals the bad news to Petrova. Poor girl.

Another quickie update for today.
Part I of the Fossil Girls' pact.
Ril
| 11 April 2008 |
Hi there and hello! Down to the wire here for the
surprise deadline. I'm getting nervous. Here's Part
II of the Fossil Girls' pact.
Ril
| 13 April 2008 |
With one day to go before our big celebration, I am
so filled with nervous excitement I can hardly sit
still. HOW DO YOU STAND IT?! These Ballet Shoes
screencaps should help take the edge off....
Ril
| 14 April 2008 |
It's our BIRTHDAY!!!!! We are officially one year
old today! Happy Birthday, Books and Wands!
Happy Birthday to the Most Excellent Person in the
Whole World...Emma Watson!
Emma's 18 today, we're 1. She's an adult and
we're...totally adorable and crawling!
We're having a party, but it doesn't start for a
few more hours, so get your party hats in order and
check back later!
Yours very truly,
Rilian

Here's part two of Emma's Birthday Celebration!
The DA, the premiere union of serious Potterheads,
as you know put together a gift for Emma. Included
in the handcrafted keepsake box, are the wishes of
the entire network of Potter fans.
I, with the help and guidance of the DA Members,
created the birthday message. These are screencaps
of the project, to Emma from us with all our hearts.
Also included are the wishes of select fans from
the community who wrote poems and their own spells
to contribute.
This is a great day for us. We hope Emma's had a
great day....and we hope you, dear reader, are
enjoying a stupendous day!
Still more to come...stay tuned!

I hope you all enjoyed the celebration. As fun as
it was, it was pretty exhausting for me. I have a
late meeting tonight that I wasn't expecting, but
I'll be back much, much later with Part II.
Ril
| 17 April 2008 |
I got home so late is was tomorrow already.
So here's Part II, you crazy kids.
Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes!
Ril
| 18 April 2008 |
I didn't forget about you!
I'll be back with more of the Deathly Hallows
screenplay shortly!
Ril
| 20 April 2008 |
Alas, I must have my inner clock looked at... I
promised shortly yesterday, but I promised it
fairly late in the day so that 'shortly' became
tomorrow...which is today.
Here's the third installment of the script for the
Deathly Hallows. Enjoy!
Ril
| 21 April 2008 |

thing...I completely forgot myself. Happy Passover
everyone!
And Happy Earth Day! Go out and plant a tree. I
couldn't plant one, so I hugged a tree instead.
Fourth Installment of the DH screenplay will be up
next. >> It's Here!
Ril
| 22 April 2008 |
Tech Problems abound...I tried updating 4 different
times yesterday. To no avail. But never fear, you
shall be sated, you rabid animals. Behold Part Five!
Ril
| 24 April 2008 |
Since I haven't gotten any flaming reviews or hate
mail, I guess it's safe to continue with the
Deathly Hallows screenplay.
It'll have to be later though, because I'm working.
Yes, working late on Friday night...this is my life.
But you're not allowed to print out the script.
- Why, Ril, it's so good we want to frame it!?
supposed to love trees, not kill them.
Happy Arbor Day! ;)
Ril
| 25 April 2008 |
More soon!
Ril
| 26 April 2008 |

Update:
Here we are...Deathly Hallows Part 6!
**********
Part 6 of the DH screenplay will be coming soon! I
promise.
Ril
| 27 April 2008 |
I hate to do this but I have to put the next
section on hold. I the whole Lady-Snake, Snake-Lady
thing is confusing me.
It's one of those timeless questions like, was
Fuzzy Wuzzy the Bear really fuzzy if he was
actually bald? Or what came first the chicken or
the egg? Deep, JK, very deep. She's a philosopher,
that one. So it might require a tweak or two.
Ril
| 28 April 2008 |
I'm sorry guys. I want this to be perfect and now
I'm thinking too much about it.
I'll try to get something up, even if it's not the
usual installment length.
Ril
| 29 April 2008 |
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
Sorry I made you wait so long for the continuation,
bit of stage fright on my part. Thanks for sticking
with me. Part 7 will be up later today. I'm just
waiting on my proofreader to finish it.
Ril
| 1 May 2008 |
**********
Update:
Here you go, kids! The Godric's Hollow sequence.
**********
It's coming. Soon...I promise. In like thirty
minutes.
Ril
| 2 May 2008 |
There's going to be a bit of a lull in screenplay
updates. This week has turned into the week from
hell. I have several meetings and now unfortunately
a funeral to go to. To make it up to you, here are
some more lovely screencaps of Ballet Shoes.
Pauline gets another shot, with Petrova's help.
Ril
| 5 May 2008 |
The girls nab the role!
Goodbye Chickie, I will always remember you with a
smile on your face and laughter... and you trying
to force feed me because I'm too thin. ;)
Ti amo, nonna.
Ril
| 7 May 2008 |
The Fossil girls' fortune isn't good for everyone.
Expect more DH probably by Friday.
Ril
| 8 May 2008 |
I couldn't get to a computer until just now. I do
have more DH for you. A teaser for what's coming
next. Check it out.
Ril
| 10 May 2008 |
Just wanted to wish all the mommy's a very
wonderful and Happy Mother's Day!
Rilian
| 11 May 2008 |
I know, I know. I suck and I'm sorry. But now the
funerals and craziness are over, you'll get more
DH. I swear it!
Rilian
| 13 May 2008 |
**********
Update: AHHHHHHH!!! Due to a slight (hopefully
slight) file saving problem with evil scriptwriting
software there will be a minor delay in updating.
Ok, so I'm taking deep breaths and praying, I'll
even try a special file backup dance and see if
that works. I don't think we lost the whole file,
just maybe a few pages... God, I might vomit.
**********
Part 8 of the screenplay is with its editor right
now. I'll be back later with it.
