A Christmas Carol (part 1)

It's Christmas eve. Everybody in town feels the joy and warmth of the season! Except one lonely soul that believes that Christmas is nonsense!...




-Merry Christmas sir!
‐What?... Nonsense! Stop that noise! Can't a man live in peace?
-But sir..
-Go away at once! Christmas they say! Humbug!



-Cratchit, why are you fooling around and what are you doing with that piece of coal?
‐I...I was trying to warm the office Mr. Scrooge... It's quite freezing in here...
-Bah...humbug! You don't need more! Put that back and don't make useless expenses!
-But Mr. Scrooge..
-Get on with your work Cratchit!...

Chocolate Factory (part 3)

 -I believe Violet will be OK! Let's move on to another factory room!
-What's in this room?
-These are my magical ducklings that lay chocolate eggs!
-Can ducklings lay eggs?
-That's why they are magical!




-This is the eggdicator! I'll explain how it works! When an egg is laid it goes down the funnel to the eggdicator! If the egg is good is collected and then gets packed for the market. If it's bad then the drop opens and it goes down the garbage chute!



-Daddy, I want a magical duckling!
-OK dear, I will get you one when we go back home...
-NO! I WANT one of these!
-Mr Wonka, how much do you want for one of these ducklings?
-These are not for sale! She can't have one!



-No! I want one! I want one of these ducklings! I'll get one now!
-Veruca get out of there at once!...



-I want one... noooooooww...
...
-Oh no!
-She was a bad egg!
-Where is my daughter?
-She's gone down the garbage chute!
-Where does this lead?
-To the furnace.
-What? She'll be sizzled like a sausage!
-Not necessarily. She could be stuck just inside the tube. In that case all you need to do is reach in and pull her out.
-Hold on sweetheart, Daddy's coming!
-Hmm... There's gonna be a lot of garbage today!




-Ready to go on? First you must put on these special glasses because the light in here could blind you! This is my latest and greatest invention, the Wonkavision!
-Like television?
-Short of! You see I had this great idea! If with simple TV they can break a photograph into millions of pieces, send it through the air and put them back together at the other end, why can't I do it with a chocolate bar!
-No way!
-Well, let's find out...

Chocolate Factory (part 2)

-Chomp... the grass... chomp... is yummy ... chomp...
-Mmm! That candy is delicious!... Augustus, don't eat too much grass my son!
-Gnam... OK mom... gnam...




-I must admit this tastes so good! Such a rich flavor!
-I would love a chewing gum like that! But be careful mom, you will ruin your diet!
-You are right but it's hard to resist!



-Dad! I want a tree like that in my garden!
-But Veruca, it's not easy to find such trees!...
-No! I want this one right now! You can buy it from Mr Wonka! I want it, I want it!



-Mike! Stop smashing the candy with your feet!
-But he said to enjoy...! It's much more fun than eating them!



-Look over there! I can see some tiny people! Who are they Mr. Wonka?
-These are the Oompa Loompas!
-The Oompa Loompas?
-Yes, they are the workers of my factory! They are very small but so good!



-Oh, there are so many of them!
-Yes! Some years ago I travelled to Loompaland looking for exotic new flavours! There in the jungle I found the Oompa Loompas who lived in tree houses to escape from the terrible beasts that lived below! So I took them with me to work in my factory! Here they live safely in peace and eat their favourite cocoa beans! They are such wonderful and loyal workers! I must warn you, however, that they are very mischievous. Always making jokes!
(Veruca) - Dad I want an Oompa Loompa right now!...

Chocolate Factory (part 1)

 This is the story of an ordinary boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, stronger, or more clever than other children and his family was not rich, or powerful… in fact, they barely had enough to eat. But Charlie was the luckiest boy in the entire world- he just didn’t know it yet...




Everyday on his way to school Charlie stops to smell the sweet chocolate aroma coming out from a huge chocolate factory. The owner of the factory is a strange man named Willy Wonka. No one has seen him for years. Also nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out. The only thing that comes out of that place is the candy, already packed and addressed! But who works in this big factory? What a mystery!



One day Charlie saw an announcement from Willy Wonka!

'DEAR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD :
I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children to visit my factory. These lucky five will be shown around personally by me and will learn all the secrets and the magic of my factory.
Five golden tickets have been hidden underneath the ordinary wrapping paper of five ordinary Wonka bars.
In addition, one of these children shall receive a special prize beyond anything you could ever imagine. Good luck to all. And happy hunting!'




Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents and four grandparents.
-Willy Wonka has announced that he will accept five children in his factory! He has hidden five golden tickets in the Wonka chocolate bars!
-Wouldn't it be great if you found one of these tickets Charlie? I used to work there, it's a magical place!
-Oh Grandpa Joe! That would be awesome but... I only get one bar a year for my birthday...
-Well it's your birthday next week!

And a Happy New Year!

Harry Potter (part 3)

 -We are lost!
-I think we're not supposed to be here! It's the forbidden third floor corridor!
-I hear steps!
-Quickly, let's hide in here!
-It's locked!...
-Leave it to me!...ALOHOMORA!... OK, get in!



-Oh no, look!
-It was locked for a good reason!
-Ahhhhhhhh! RUN!



-Phew... that was close...
-Why on earth do they have a giant three headed dog locked up in a school?
-It was standing on a trapdoor! Maybe it's guarding something...



-Hagrid, why there is a giant three headed dog in the school?
-What? You know about Fluffy?
-That thing has a name?
-Of course he has! Actually he is mine! I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the...hmm... nothing... It's top secret!
-We knew he was guarding something important! Why?Does someone want to steal it?
-Maybe Snape is trying to steal it!
-Nonsense! Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher!
-But he is so strange and mysterious!
-Well, stop meddling around you three! What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel... Oh I shouldn't have said that...
-Who is Nicholas Flamel?
-No more questions!

Harry Potter (part 1)

 ... Nearly eleven years had passed since that horrible night... and it was about time for 'the boy who lived' to know who he really was...




-Who are you?
-I'm Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. Course Harry, you'll know all about Hogwarts.
-Sorry... no!
-No? Didn't you ever wonder where your mum and dad learned it all?
-Learned what?
-You are a wizard Harry! You only need just a bit of training!
-No... you are making a mistake... I can't be a wizard!
-Yes you are, just like your parents were! But apparently your uncles have never told you the truth about your parents and how they died...
Well, here is the letter they kept hiding from you! Congrats Harry Potter! You have been accepted at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
But we are a bit behind schedule, come on, we must leave for London right away!



-Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry!
-Wow!
-Here you can find all the equipment you will need as a Hogwarts student!



-This is the Ollivanders, the best place to get your wand! You step inside and I will be there soon. I just have one thing to do, won't be long!
-OK!



-Hello?
-I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Mr. Potter. It seems only yesterday that your mother and father were in here buying their first wands. Well now, let's pick one for you too!

The Hazelwood's residence- The Old Mill

‘What a lovely day! ‘,says Evie Hazelwood as she opens the window .
‘I love summer!’
 
 
 
Her mother Betty also likes summer as she can easily dry her laundry in the sun.
‘You will need a clothes peg for my jumpers mom’, says little Noah.
‘Thank you dear!’

The Mole House


This is the home of the McBurrows mole family. It's built inside a small hill and that couldn't be more perfect for them as they love living underground! But they also love their beautiful yard and enjoy life in the countryside!




 Mrs Heidi's main concern is to keep her house neat and tidy!

Trick or treat!

'...Trick or treat...!'

Haha LL, :lol: now you have inspired me for another photo with mushroom baby! Seems like it will really need your hug and affection, because it's getting dark and it is left alone in the scary woods




LadyLollipop wrote::think: Sylvanako, we cannot take the suspense! Did little mushy baby make it out safely?
 
 Well, the rest of the story goes like this...
... Suddenly three scary figures appear behind the bushes, a mummy, a ghost and a witch! :-o Poor mushy is about to scream and cry... But just then... the figures approach and... reveal their faces! They are the Mulberry kids all dressed up, returning from their Halloween party! What a relief! They help little mushroom to find its way back home safely and... that's how this story ends! :angel:
