Flashback of the Week

[heidi]

Remember when Casey Kasem used to do a flashback on American Top Forty every weekend?

I'm going to *try* to remember to start doing an HP Fandom Flashback every week, at least through the release of HBP in November, starting now.

This is my flashback for the first week of July, 2008. This fabulous quiz, created by mctabby in July, 2002, predated the release of Chamber of Secrets to movie theaters, but we'd already seen Christian Couslon as Tom Riddle in the trailers and interest in him, and in Dan's suddenly deeper voice, was heating up.

The quiz results also show an interesting mix of links to forum threads, Yahoogroups, and LJ comms that marked the transition of many HP fanfic writers among those three different modes of communications. And, of course, the quiz itself was on a GEOCITIES page. How many of you had one? And when was the last time you updated it? Or even looked back at it?

I like the idea of HP fandom flashback. And yes, I do remember Casey Kasem and the countdown. What a voice! He's voiced three of my most beloved cartoon characters - Shaggy; Scooby-Doo, Robin, the boy wonder; Superfriends, Mark-leader of G-Force; Battle of the Planets.


Weird little quiz - I got Tom/Ginny for my result

Ohh, fandom flashback - I'm going to be looking forward to more of these! Let's see how many I'll remember, lol.

I got Tom/Ginny, but then, that doesn't surprise me one bit. :D

Fandom flashback! *swoons*

This first flashback just happened to go back to the time when I get into HP. I remember stumbling across HPfGU on Yahoogroups and marveling at the fact that so many adults were so into the series.

*swoons again, this time with nostalgia*
