Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 17
What would your Patronus be?
After a couple lame, but fun, quizzes (1, 2), I have discovered that my Patronus would most likely be a wolf.
That’s…pretty awesome. I’ll take that.
“You work best in a close support group and are fiercely loyal to those you love. You are unbeatable in a group and incredibly strong even alone due to your cunning at getting the job...

Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 16
If you could ask your favorite character one thing, what would it be?
If I could ask Severus Snape one thing? I’ve never thought about this before. (I guess it’d be kind of strange if I had.) Let me think…
I guess I’d probably end up just asking him to tell me his life story. I mean, we get bits and pieces, the big stuff, out of “The Prince’s Tale,” but...

It's come to this...
Insulting adorable, sassy 9-year-olds who have grown up in the celebrity lifestyle, who happens to sing a repetitive but catchy song that might not be the next Bohemian Rhapsody but instead is exactly what our generation is constantly screaming for.
She’s nine.
There will always be “bad” music out there.
Just let it go, get over it, and whip your hair.

Top 3 favorite scenes from the series
3. The Forest Again/King’s Cross (Book 7, Chapters 34, 35)
2. Voldemort’s Return (Book 4, Chapters 32-34)
1. The Prince’s Tale (Book 7, Chapter 33)
This was definitely a challenge. I’ll keep my reasoning brief, so as to avoid too many spoilers.
Number 3: The finality of the situation. The inevitability that Harry faces. And...

Dear Contact Lenses,
Please build up an immunity to being on my eyeballs for far too many hours,
through naps,
allergies,
hours of computer-staring,
and book-reading.
It would be greatly appreciated, as I am forced to endure an endless cycle of
drying,
burning,
and then tears.
Or, may God make me look extra-attractive with glasses on instead.
Cordially,
Me.

Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 14
If you could work at any place in Hogsmeade, where would it be?
I would probably be at Honeydukes. I adore sweets.
Or at The Three Broomsticks. I like to socialize, and I could see myself as a waitress, getting in on the most recent gossip and knowing all the regulars.
What can I say. I’m your stereotypical woman. Sweets and gossip. All I need to survive.

I realize...
…that the majority of my posts lately have been Harry Potter related. I apologize if this upsets/bores/annoys anyone. It will slow down eventually. But for now, this is the best place for me to attempt to express my excitement and anticipation for the upcoming film. It is an excitement that makes my heart flutter and my vision go blurry and my eyes tear up and my stomach do flips and my...

Favorite location from the movies
I’ve never thought about this much. I love Hogwarts, of course, but I also love Number 12, Grimmauld Place and The Burrow. Ultimately, I think Hogwarts will always be my favorite location from Harry Potter. It’s kind of the place it all goes down. It goes from home to behind enemy lines and finally back to its original state. It’s the place all...

Least Favorite Character
Mundungus Fletcher. What a selfish little turd.
That’s all I have to say about him.
Hmph!
Cornelius Fudge is a turd, too.

Is there a character you didn’t like in the books, but loved in the movies, or vice-versa?
I didn’t really like Professor Trelawny in the books. It was more of an impartial feeling, with maybe a twinge of respect because of the importance of her prophecies. But I love her character in the movies. Emma Thompson is a big part of it. She’s brilliant.
You may be young in years but the...

The cloak, the wand, or the stone?
Well! This is a good one. Having read the book, I’d have to go with the Cloak. I’m not big on being the most powerful, so I wouldn’t want the Wand. I also have not suffered such a loss that would make me want to bring that person back, especially in the sad form brought about by the Stone.
I don’t fear death, but living a long life would...

What would be your favorite class at Hogwarts?
This is an excellent question. Off the top of my head, I have no idea, and therefore will employ the use of some lame quiz that makes it very obvious which answer you are going to get before you submit your answers.

#1 - Defense Against the Dark Arts #2 - Charms #3 - Herbology
I do enjoy the battling of evil,...

Anything you’d change in the epilogue
A lot of people didn’t like the epilogue. Too cheesy? Bah! I embrace the cheese. The only thing I would wish for is for Teddy to have parents, but…that whole deal happened before the epilogue. So I’ll just discuss what I liked.
I love the children’s names. In particular: Albus Severus Potter. First name: Most Brilliant Wizard...

I love flying.
I’ve been flying a bit more lately. I’ve decided: if I grow surprisingly rich someday (or marry surprisingly rich (too many Jane Austen films, sorry folks)), I’ll take up lessons. Flying lessons. I’d love to get my pilot’s license or whatever it’s called. Maybe I’ll get my own little plane. I understand that it’s not all what it’s cracked up to...

Favorite Movie
(Well, it will probably be the seventh, part 2, but for now I’d have to say…)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Sure, it was very different than the book in numerous ways. Sure, Harry’s hair was WAY too short. However! Taking this film as a separate entity from the book, I’d have to say that I found it particularly well done. I saw a huge...

One of your favorite quotes
Off the top of my head, I find one of Albus Dumbledore’s most famous quotes to truly be one of my favorites:
To the well-organized mind, death is nothing but the next great adventure.
I believe in an after-life. I believe in a Heaven. I also believe I will go there when I die. And what an adventure that will be.
(I also feel inspired by another...

Which one of the deaths did you have the hardest time with?
There were so many. Dx
If I had to choose, I would say Albus Dumbledore’s death. Tears were shed while reading, but not until the second time I read it. I don’t think it hit me until that time, knowing all the terrible things that would happen after and as a result of his death. Realizing that we actually knew very little...
