The Once and Future King
Hello young witches and warlocks!
So we all love "The Once and Future King" (Or at least tolerate him) But I, for one, admire him! King Arthur (Bradley James) learns as he goes, and as he progresses, Camelot's destiny to become the greatest kingdom of all time rapidly draws near. So, in honor of our King, I edited some photos to give thanks. Long live King Arthur!

Happy Birthday Colin Morgan!
Hello young witches and warlocks!
As many of you were cheering at midnight for the beginning of 2012... I cheered a good "Happy Birthday!" To my idol, Colin Morgan. He is now 26, and full of life! I wish there was some way I could tell him myself.. but that'd be difficult... well Colin... I wish you the best as you celebrate your birth! (Which is one of the best days of the year!)

Interview with Colin Morgan
Hello young Witches and Warlocks!
The following is an interview with Colin that I found on www.colin-morgan.com (Originally posted on December 6):
>> Did you ever think the show would be this successful?
I don’t think anyone thought it would end up where it has. That’s not to say we didn’t believe in the stories. Five years is a hard thing to imagine for any commitment. The fan base is growing bigger right across the world.
>> How has the Merlin character changed?
It was always going to be a tale of growing up for Merlin. How does he become the great wizard that we know from the legends? Merlin is the one who is most lost amongst everyone. That is because the one thing he loves (magic) is the one thing he cannot do (because it is outlawed) in Camelot.
We have seen him go from a naive boy who trusted in people a little bit too much to now having gained wisdom, power and strength. We’re seeing him grow into a young man. The same thing has happened with Arthur, who has just become king.
This is the biggest step but it has happened in the wrong way. Arthur’s father died by magic, which is not what Merlin wanted at all. Now there are higher stakes. Everything could be lost.
>> The show centres on the relationship between Merlin and Arthur. How do you get on with your co-star Bradley James?
We were all new when we started this show so we were all embarking on this adventure together. Bradley and I were always going to have a lot of scenes together. We have a great rapport.
>> The tone of the show has changed, especially in series three when Morgana (Katie McGrath) became a villain.
I think the series is at its strongest when it goes a little bit darker. It will always have elements of humour but we’re entering into serious territory now. You see our characters going through these huge emotional things that are going to change their lives forever. They are stories that shouldn’t be taken lightly. We’re not afraid to go in that direction.
>> Morgana seems to hate Camelot even more in the current series.
One of Merlin’s big things is using your powers for the right reasons. Morgana is the perfect example of how things can go so badly wrong. It is a great shift for Katie’s character and she does it perfectly.
(end)
Fascinating! What do you, Merlin fans, think about this? Don't hesitate to comment!(;

Quotes
Hello young witches and warlocks!
Here are some of my favorite quotes from "Merlin"
"In a land of myth, and a time of magic. The destiny of a Great Kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name...
Merlin."
"Your the bravest of us all and he doesn't even know it"
"No Man is worth your tears."
"It's not victory I seek, it is peace."
"If you were me, it was your father, would you use magic to save his life?"
"Yes I would, I would do whatever it took."
"There's something about you Merlin, I can't quite put my finger on it."
"There is no right or wrong. Only what is, and what isn't."
"Don't be such a princess. It is your quest after all."
"Clot-pole. He said clot-pole"
"How can I admit that I think about her all the time? That I care about her more than anyone? Nothing can ever happen between us! To admit my feelings knowing... it would hurt to much.."
"There must be another Arthur, 'cause this one is an idiot!"
"Nobody likes a clever-clogs Merlin!"
"If I can't use magic what have I got? I'm just a nobody and always will be. If I can't use magic I might as well die."
"I was hindered because I was fighting a woman. That's why I won."
"You don't look hindered... I'll stop talking now."
