HP & GG

I was eating my lunch in the park the other day, staring at this fountain-->

and I decided that it was very gossip girl, and that Cortona is a mix of harry potter and gossip girl.
Here are my reasons:

HP:
1. Our common room - functions like the Gryffindor common.
2. We have house-elf like angels that make it appear like our beds have made themselves.
3. There's cobblestones everywhere.
4. We live in a great castle on the top of a hill that overlooks a valley and a lake.
5. We're living on property that's older than Christ.
5. We eat in a great hall.
6. We live in a town that has winding streets, alleys and hallways that probably change when we don't know it.
7. We have a caretaker that has a cat (gino & bella senora)
8. R.G. has about as much wisdom as Dumbledore.
9. We have obscure classes like stone carving and print making (ok ok it's not potions or anything but still cool).
10. Mary has to take a sole class with Marco, and his office is at the top of Severini, just like Harry and Dumbledore's one-on-one lessons.
11. Severini sounds like Nagini.
12. Minerva McGonnigal = Danielle Carribino
13. It's a magical world we live in here.
14. There are birds flying all over the place and owl poop everywhere.
15. We've discovered secret passagways and narrow cooridors.
16. There are open air windows that close and latch like in HP.

Gossip Girl:
1. Cortona is glam.
2. We eat lunch on the steps every day.
3. We have a beautiful park and fountain with lots of pigeons just like Blaire goes to the park.
4. I hang out with Peter, who is as bad as chuck, artsy as Dan and as fashionable as Nate.
more to come, it's just early and I can't think.


Maybe this is beacuse we're all reading HP7 in anticipation, or maybe because I really miss GG and STILL haven't seen the season finale because several sites don't work in Italy (pandora, projectplaylist, watching online TV). But probably not.
