These are the first two logs I've written in ages. They suck. DEAL WITH IT. If you haven't read the 6th Harry Potter book yet I suggest you skip the second one, unless you don't care about having it spoiled. The first one is spoiler free.

Grand Plaza of Deepnight.
Perpetually bathed in moonlight, this wonder has become somewhat of a meeting
place for those that reside here. The beauty of the scene is enhanced by the
silver street lamps that surround the circular plaza, and the fountain that
throws water into the air every so often. This fountain is quite large, and the
stone wall that surrounds it allows for a multitude of people to sit around it
at any given time. Red brick covers the ground of the plaza, spiraling outward
in concentric circles, and the spray from the fountain coats the adjacent
bricks with sparkles that reflect the lamplight. The great Elemental Temple and
tradehall is visible to the east, a large and beautiful structure. Stairs weave
upwards in a spiral to an archway above, housing some citizen or family, and
offering a spectacular view. The quiet beauty that is Deepnight stretches in
all directions, and the vision of the sky is only limited by the mysterious
haze on the outskirts of the community. A sign here suggests you READ SIGN! A
painting of Tetra, the elemental scourge is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall.
A statue of Richter stands here, memorializing his noble spirit. Lying flat on

ROARK'S OBSESSION:
Centre of the Necropolis.
It is difficult to detect any features of the room, due to the powerful field
of energy that is put out by the Megalith of Doom, absorbing all but the
darkest of colours and dominating everything else in the room. The architecture
of the room is designed to accommodate the Megalith of Doom with a high dome
that forms the entire ceiling. A circular series of steps descends three tiers
down to the indentation in the centre of the room where the Megalith stands.
Four archways lead out of the room to the other areas of the Necropolis, where
candles and other illumination can barely be detected through the powerful
force of the Megalith. Rising up from cracks in the floor, the Megalith of Doom
towers above everything here, polluting the air with its foul fumes. The Keeper
of the Megalith stands here radiating a tainted presence. The subtle flows of
nature culminate in this growing rose of blackness pulsing with divine
radiance. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the
ground.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.

... so basically we see some guy ranting about how he'll spoil the book for people, then during the last ten seconds yells it and starts running and at the end we hear a girl call him a bitch... whoa. That was one cool spoiler movie.
Basically a movie about a prick who sucks at making movies. Probably why he likes spoiling them for others. hmmm.
