Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley

How did they get together?
Ginny had a crush on Harry since they first met. But since Harry was best friends with Ron, he never saw Ginny as girlfriend material. As they grew up they both realized their deep attraction to each other was more than friendship.
What attracts them to each other?
Since they have been friends for so long their love manifested from it. When Harry realized his attraction to Ginny, the rest just falls into place.
Why do the make such a timeless couple?
Being “the Chosen One” brought much danger to anyone he loved and since Ginny loved him for being Harry and not anything else it made them a strong and timeless couple.
What are some of the problems they faced because of being a couple?
Harry and Ginny have two major problems because they are a couple. One is because Ginny is the sister of Harry’s best friend which is usually a no-go. And also, since Harry was fighting against the Death Eaters and Voldemort, he did not want to risk Ginny getting hurt because they were together.
Alice Cullen & Jasper Hale

How did they get together?
Alice saw Jasper and the Cullen family in one of her visions. She met Jasper in a dinner in Philadelphia, and they both fell in love during their adventures to find the Cullens by 1950.
What attracts them to each other?
I think the inevitability of their meeting created a foundation for their relationship. Also, the fact that they were both nomads and then they found each other solidified their love.
Why do they make such a timeless couple?
The fact that Alice saw Jasper in her vision of the future makes their love inevitable. They are timeless because in a time where they were both alone they found each other and haven’t looked back since.
What are some of the problems they faced because of being a couple?
There aren’t any problems that they face as couple, but since they are participants in one of the largest vampire Covens they are usually in danger of those who want to challenge them.

OBS SPEAKS OUT: MUST-SEE LIST ‘NEW MOON ACTOR EDITION’
Author: Chris54 | Filed under: Must See, News BlogOBS staff members have complied a list of movies and TV shows that actors/actresses from the upcoming flick ‘New Moon’ starred in. We think these shows and movies are definietly must-see, especailly to warm up to ‘New Moon’! This is just ONE of the awesome features in our ‘New Moon November’!
Rachelle Levefre
Movie name: Do you know me 2009 (Caro’s Pick)
Review: Ellie Carter is recently graduated and has it all. While celebrating with friend and boyfriend, she comes across a milk carton with a picture of a missing child that looks a lot like her. As a prank, they call the toll free number and she realizes that this person could be her. The more she finds out, the closer she gets to getting herself and beloved ones killed. This movie had intense scenes, different from seeing her as Victoria, but a good movie.
Review: The week before he returns to school for his senior year, popular High School jock Tommy Dawkins is bitten and turned into a werewolf. The only person Tommy Dawkins can turn to for help is the school nerd and Goth Fantasy Guild President Merton J Dingle. Now Tommy & Merton while still looking for a cure for Tommy’s condition fight a whole slew of baddies in Pleasantville including Mummies, Vampires, 50’s Bullies, Witches. I mostly remember Rachelle from this show, when I saw that she would play Victoria, I was happy, she definitely understood the genre.
Movie Name: Untraceable 2008 (Dawn’s Pick)
Review: Billy Burke plays Detective Eric Box. It’s a race against the clock as they try to figure out the identity of the man who is torturing/killing people and putting it on the internet. Although it’s graphic and sickening at times, it’s an interesting movie and definitely worth seeing.
Movie Name: Fracture 2007
Review: Fracture is one of my all time favorites. Billy Burke is perfect as Lt. Robert ‘Rob’ Nunally, the man having an affair with Ted Crawford’s wife. Detective Nunally is called to the scene of a crime, where he finds his lover shot by her husband. Despite confessing, Ted Crawford wiggles his way out of it. Sadly Nunally dies at the end, but his character plays a pivotal part in in the movie.
Jaime Campbell Bower
Movie Name: Sweeny Todd 2007 (Erin’s Pick)
Review: You’re probably not the least but interested in this if you don’t like blood, but just to be safe: this is a bloody movie. But it’s a well done adaptation from the stage, and actors you didn’t know could sing do an amazing job. Jamie Campbell Bower actually has an amazing voice, and you worry about his Anthony getting involved with Sweeney from the get go. With Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, you know it’ll be well acted. Funny and incredibly morbid blend well together; just don’t see it if you’re going to be eating soon.
Jackson Rathbone
TV Show: Criminal Minds 2009 (Chris’s pick)
Review: Jackson gave an amazing performance in this drama tv series. He was the killer in this episode, but with a multiple personailty disorder, his ‘normal’ side, was a scared young guy that could be very innocent, his counterpart was a female with a nasty lust for vengence. He/She takes on young good looking men, that are the typical jerks. Jackson really protrayed the tormented character to a ‘T’, felt so real, and made me see that this young man is a fantastic actor.

JACKSON RATHBONE DIVES INTO ‘JASPER’S BACKSTORY’ FOR ‘ECLIPSE’
Author: Chris54 | Filed under: Book News, Movie News, News BlogLarry Carroll from mtv.com has this interesting interview with Jackson Rathbone
DALLAS— We don’t need to have our emotions influenced to know that Jasper Hale Whitlock is one of Stephenie Meyer’s greatest creations. A 166-year-old Civil War veteran whose transformation and redemption is a key theme in the later “Twilight” novels, the character has long been a fan favorite. Which made it all the more appropriate when the franchise landed Jackson Rathbone, a 24-year-old actor/musician whose affable, easygoing charm has made him equally popular in Twilight Nation.
MTV: Jackson, what are you most looking forward to shooting in the next film?
Jackson Rathbone: I’m really excited to start filming “Eclipse.” I got a chance to read the script, and we get to go back into Jasper’s backstory. They actually had to ask me about my equestrian experience. I told them I can gallop and trot and all that. I used to ride. It’s been two or three years since I’ve been on a horse, but I’m excited to get back up on the saddle.
MTV: So we’re going to get to Jasper’s Civil War backstory?
Rathbone: Yes, I get to shoot some Civil War stuff, and I’m also going to shoot a lot of fighting scenes. Which is great, because I just came off [M. Night Shyamalan's] “The Last Airbender,” and I’ve been doing fighting for the last six months. So I’m ready to keep it on.

Ahh I just love Jackson! I am so incredibly stoked about David adding the ‘transformations’ scenes, Jasper’s story is heartbreaking but necessary to the plot line! I can’t wait to see Jasper on a horse
Are you excited to see these scenes? How many days again till Eclipse, lol?
