What House would you want to be in?
Well, let's see. There's Gryffindor, with only the bravest, Slytherin, with only the purest, Ravenclaw, with only the smartest, and Hufflepuff, with only the particularily good finders with only with the hard workers. I don't know which one I'd like to be in the most, because I'm sure I'd be happy in any of them.
I'd be happy in Gryffindor, because being sorted into Gryffindor would prove I'm brave. I always wonder if I'm brave or not. It'd be nice to know if I'm brave enough to be a Gryffindor. I'd be able to say I was sorted into the same house as Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.
I'd be happy in Slytherin, because although most wizards who've gone bad were in Slytherin, I'd love to try and prove the stereotype wrong. If anyone brought up Draco Malfoy, I'd explain to them that although he made some wrong choices, he really was on our side. If anyone brought up Severus Snape, I'd tell them that although Snape wasn't a nice man, he was deffinitely a good man, in one way or another.
I'd be happy in Ravenclaw, and, to be honest, I think that's where I would most likely end up, if I were ever truly sorted. I'm bright, and I'm clever. I'm also a little strange, like Luna! As a Ravenclaw, I believe I would make it my duty to become a Prefect, and eventually Head Girl of Ravenclaw. Yes, I quite like that idea!
I'd be happy in Hufflepuff, because Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders mostly in the background during the series, which would give me a great excuse to try my best to stand out! I would do something so great that the Headmaster or Headmistress of Hogwarts would mention it in a speech to all the students and faculty (and ghosts!) and I would get insane recognition from whatever it is that I did.
Your favourite male character and why.
(Spoilers)
Ever since Prisoner of Azkaban came out, Remus Lupin has been my favourite character. He's just incredible. I can't describe the love I have for him. He was turned into a werewolf at such a young but he was one of the most caring characters in the series. Sure, he pushed people away, but that was because he loved them too much to harm them. He didn't want anybody around him during the transformation because he didn't want anyone he loved, or anyone at all, to get hurt because of him. He was the best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Harry ever had. He helped Harry create a Patronus. He did so much for Harry because he wanted to protect his friend's son, and in turn, he became a father figure to Harry. I was incredibly upset when he died:
As Ginny and Hermione moved closer to the rest of the family, Harry had a clear view of the bodies lying next to Fred: Remus and Tonks, pale and still and peaceful-looking, apparently asleep beneath the dark, enchanted ceiling.
He didn't even get a death scene. I threw my book when I came across this. Can you blame me? It's always upsetting when one's favourite character dies.
I like to think that he was killed while trying to protect Tonks. That Tonks ran all around the castle looking for him, and when she finally found him and joined him in battle, he yelled at her to run and hide, because he wanted her to be safe, if not for him, for his son, which gave Dolohov a chance to cast the Killing Curse.
RIP, Professor.
Least favourite female character and why.
Ginny. She really gets on my nerves. I don't know why. Probably because of the way she's portrayed in the film adaptations. I just don't like her as a character. I feel like Harry could've done better. I would've liked him ending up with Cho Chang, y'all.
Are there any parts of the film adaptations that have made you angry?
I can sum this up in four words:
Order of the Phoenix.
Your favourite movie.
This'll also be a short entry. I think my favourite movie is Prisoner of Azkaban because in my opinion it's the most faithful to the book. Also, I like Half-Blood Prince because of the memory of seeing it. I went with my friends Sam and Ally and we were dressed like Death Eaters.
Your favourite book.
I'd have to say my favourite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved Sirius and the entire plotline was gold. I haven't read the books in a while, but if you ask me, the third book is when things start to get real for Harry. Sure in Philosopher's Stone, he finds out he's a wizard and defeats Voldemort again, and in Chamber of Secrets he kills the horcrux, but in Prisoner of Azkaban, he's faced with a supposed murderer out to get him, and he finds out that Sirius was innocent all along. Now that Sirius is on the run from Wizard cops, I think Harry realises the danger that surrounds him and his family. I say "family" instead of "friends" because they really are the only family he has left. I think he realises that he has to protect himself and the ones he loves, and he realises that the Wizarding World is actually full of danger and lies.
Are you excited about The Deathly Hallows movie or scared it won’t do the book justice?
Both. I've loved the series for as long as I can remember; like many others I grew up with it. The movies are good, but they don't always do the books justice.
I'd say that although I was excited at first about the movie coming out, I've heard things about the movie. I know that it isn't exactly a valid source of information, but I heard on Tumblr that "The Prince's Tale" was cut from the movie. I have to say, this had better not be true! "The Prince's Tale" has got to be one of the most important chapters in the book, because it reveals so much about Snape. If I go to watch DH II and it's not in the movie, I don't know what I'll do with myself.
I feel like although the previous movies have left out crucial information, the last movie will do the book as much justice as it can with the missing pieces.
Seeing as I haven't really been posting as much as I would've liked to, I've decided to use these 30-Day challenges from Tumblr as an excuse to post. (Or rather, a reason to post.) I'm using challenges from this Tumblr page. I decided that multiple challenges would be better than just one because then I can make myself write as much for a post as I want!
I've chosen challenges for three subjects: Glee, Michael Jackson, and Harry Potter. There are two Harry Potter challenges that I've copy-pasted into a Word document, so I decided to post both questions, but only answer one. Also, a question in one of the HP challenges is supposed to be posted before the final movie comes out. Seeing as that's only in a few days, I'll switch it with the original first question of the challenge.
Ready? Here we gooooooooooooooooo!
