Big Harry Potter fan! But apparently not as much as you! It's weird, whenever I read a really good book, I start to believe that the things in that book are real. Harry Potter: I once tried to apparate to my class room. Percy Jackson: Now I believe in all the Greek Gods. Warriors: I believe that their are fighting cats in my backyard. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Deathly Hallows
2. 1
3. I really like Hermione. She is a lot of my best friend
4. I actually did a quiz and I got sorted into Hufflepuff. I would actually prefer Gryffindor, but I'm cool with Hufflepuff. The name makes me think of clouds :D
5. Dolores Umbridge, Snape, Voldy, and Malfoy. I dislike a lot of characters.
Is this going to be a rp, or just a conversation?

Get back to the top you silly thread!

((Toptoptop?))
Let's see...
1. What is your favorite book in the Harry Potter series?
It's a go between PoA and HBP.
2. How many times have you read the Harry Potter series all the way through?
Uh... Three. Way more for the earlier books though.
3. Who is your favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Tied up between Snape, Bella, and Voldy and Draco in the later books (HBP+DH)
4. What House would you like to be Sorted in?
Slytherin, though I'd more likely end up in Ravenclaw which wouldn't be too bad either.
5. Who is your least favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Hm... Harry. Definitely Harry.
(April 4, 2010 - 11:02 pm)
1. What is your favorite book in the Harry Potter series?
Probably either HBP or DH.
2. How many times have you read the Harry Potter series all the way through?
Um, 6, I think. Mainly because in third and fourth grade I had read most of the children's section but was too young for YA...
3. Who is your favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Probably Draco. TNO (umlaut) invaded my mind and made me like Bellatrix a lot too, though.
I also, strangely, like Lockhart. He amuses me.
4. What House would you like to be Sorted in?
...Ravenclaw? Or Slytherin?
5. Who is your least favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Harry and Ginny. >.<
(April 5, 2010 - 9:21 am)
Haha, now you're a Bellatrix fan too! *sticks out tongue in show of immaturity*
Lockhart's funny. On the one hand you want to beat him with a frying pan until he stops being such an idiot, on the other... he is, as you said, amusing.
(April 5, 2010 - 10:49 am)
I blame elements of my personality like that on you.
Lockhart: "Hello. Odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?"
Ron: *raises eyebrows* "No."
...Lockhart: "Amazing! Amazing! This is just like magic!"
(April 7, 2010 - 10:20 am)
1. What is your favorite book in the Harry Potter series?
Um. It's a tie between OotP and DH.
2. How many times have you read the Harry Potter series all the way through?
Um again. See, I read them individually, whichever I happen to feel like reading at that time. I really can't remember how many times I've read any one of the books.
3. Who is your favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Aaargh. Hermione, I guess. Or Ginny. No! Scratch both of those. It's Luna. These questions are hard.
4. What House would you like to be Sorted in?
Ravenclaw.
5. Who is your least favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Eek. Ouch. Argh. Umbridge.
(April 5, 2010 - 7:36 pm)
1: PoA, last time I checked.
2: Um, I really have no idea. You see, when I have nothing new to read, I nearly always pick up a HP book and read it instead, so, as a result, the answer would probably be... a lot.
3: Hermione. Unless hippogriffs count as characters? In that case, the answer would be Buckbeak. I'm slightly obsessed with hippogriffs, you see... Anyway,
4: Ravenclaw, without a doubt.
5: Ron. All of the characters were excellent, though.
Lockhart was actually based on a real person, according to JKR's website. That sounds cruel, but don't worry; she said he probably had no idea.
Speaking of the website, has anyone figured out how to take W.O.M.B.A.T. tests?
(April 5, 2010 - 7:38 pm)
1. How can i pick!!!! i love them all, though the 6th and 5th wouldn't be high on the list. Perhaps Deathly Hallows? or maybe Prisoner of Azkaban...
2. I don't know probably three or four times
3. Hmmm i do like them all, but i am fond of Neville and i also have a soft spot for Sirius Hagrid and Snape.
4. Well i would probably be Gryffindor, though i'd rather be Hufflepuff.
5. I can't choose!! i love them all!! even though Voldy is evil, and Umbridge is annoying. But they are all such great characters! Although some do lack a bit of personality...
(April 6, 2010 - 3:17 pm)
1. I can't choose between the fourth and fifth
2. I've read it too many times to count...wellll, probably around four or five
3. Ginny Weasley
4. Ravenclaw, but I'd probably be a Hufflepuff
5. Dolores Umbridge and Lucius Malphoy
(April 6, 2010 - 7:11 pm)
1. My favorite book is Prisoner of Azkaban, closely followed by Deathly Hallows.
2. I've read the whole series twice, SS three times and Philosopher's Stone once.
3. My favorite character would probably be Remus Lupin, though I'm also a fan of McGonagall, Luna, Dumbledore, Gred 'n' Feorge, Mr. Weasley,and several more, mostly minor characters.
4. ....Ravenclaw.
5. I don't really like Umbridge, or Harry the character. There aren't any characters I *hate*.
(April 6, 2010 - 7:15 pm)
1. It's weird, but I like the odd-numbered books the best (1,3,5,7)
2. I've read the series all the way through 6 times, and my favorites a few more times.
3. SNAPE IS SO AWESOME
4. Ravenclaw
5. Cho Chang: she's always getting in the way. I also don't like Filch.
(April 8, 2010 - 2:18 pm)
1. What is your favorite book in the Harry Potter series?
OotP. (For those who don't know, that's Order of the Pheonix.) Although, like Grace said, I like the odd numbers best.
2. How many times have you read the Harry Potter series all the way through?
Erm...well, just once. But I'll go back and open the books to random parts and read from there. I suppose, altogether, it's been about two or three times.
3. Who is your favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
Harry, Ginny, Luna, Cho, Ernie Macmillan, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Dobby, Kreacher, Lily (both of them), James (both of them), Albus, Sirius, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hedwig, Mad-Eye, Hermionie, Ron, Fred, George, Charlie, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Bill...yeah. If they're good, I like them.
Snape...somehow I can't call Snape a favorite character, but after DH (Deathly Hallows), I started feeling sorry for him and understanding him.
Fleur...hm. She's a bit annoying *coughphlegmcough* but on the whole, she's pretty good.
4. What House would you like to be Sorted in?
Definitely Ravenclaw. Although, as long as it wasn't Slytherin, I'd be happy.
5. Who is your least favorite character in the Harry Potter series?
The Malfoys. The Lestranges. UMBRIDGE. *gags* "Voldy." (Sorry, TNO, I'm honestly not mocking you. But if Voldemort knew you called him Voldy, he'd Cruciate you in about three seconds flat. Nevermind if you're his biggest fan. BTW, what happened to your umlaut?) Ermshk...yeah. If they're bad, I dislike them.
Lockhart...well, he's annoying, but as Mary Liz and TNO say, he's amusing.
Percy...he's a prat, but he redeemed himself in the end, so I can't really say I dislike him.
Andy P. C. says feka.

Re: Missing umlaut: I don't bother if I'm on a Windows computer (read: In school) because it takes too much time and effort. Hence, "Local Brainwashing Facility" replaces "Deep Space". This is also the reason I think people are silly if they feel guilty about leaving off the umlaut (Mary, I am looking at you) if they don't know how/can't be bothered because the way the Windows OS handles "special characters" or accent marks is ridiculously over complicated. It's a purely aesthetic addition, you see.
Re: Your least favourite characters: Oh, I wouldn't dream of taking offense. I'm well aware that I'm horrendously guilty of Misaimed Fandom in just about every work of fiction I enjoy, and also that 90% of my favourite characters from HP are Complete Monsters who anyone with a normally functioning brain would run away from very fast. This does not stop me from fangirling at them; however, I pride myself on avoiding the Fan Dumb issue by being *gasp* tolerant of the rest of the fandom and, obviously, do not expect others to share my opinions. Nor, on an only loosely related note, am I generally guilty of Die For Our Ship *cough* exceptforSweeneyTodd,Lucymustdie! *cough*, which is one of my major problems with being associated with fanfiction, because the connotation is so... unintelligent. Not that I don't like fanfiction. I just don't like some of the trends... notably Die For Our Ship, grammar and spelling, and Fan Dumb of all kinds, especially Character Derailment and Canon Defilement and Draco In Leather Pants (yes, even if it's a character like Bellatrix, just because I like her doesn't mean she's not an Axe Crazy Yandere and Complete Monster), and Ron the Death Eater and contrived plots and SELF INSERT MARY SUES!!!! RAAAAAAARGH! *bashes head against wall*
Ahem. I am fine. Though I seem to have digressed somewhat... a lot...
*reviews rant again* Oh, gods, TV Tropes really has ruined my vocabulary. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ignore everything after "share my opinions".
Re: Voldy's nickname: Rather less than three seconds, I'd say. Possibly before I'd even managed to vocalize it, seeing as how he's an accomplished Legillimens. And given his canonical treatment of Bella, I doubt the fact that I'm a mildly unabashed fangirl of his wouldn't be something that would impress him terribly.
Re: Umbridge: I agree, she's horrible. In a fascinating sort of way, but not in an "I like her" sort of way, not like Voldy or Bella... It's like when you read Mein Kampf and then tell people that, yes, it's extremely interesting, and I- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! NO! OF COURSE I'M NOT A NEO-NAZI! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?! which happens with surprising frequency, even though Mein Kampf is mainly interesting because by the time you get to page three you're wondering just how many mental disorders Hitler actually had.
Random: I know I said I'm not one for Die For Our Ship, but on the subject of the staggering amount of HP ships I really, really hate Harry/Hermione, Bella/Snape, and Bella/Lucius. No Just No.
(April 9, 2010 - 11:38 pm)
@TNÖ: First of all, Bella/Snape wouldn't even work because Snape would never love anyone besides Lily. And Bella/Lucius also wouldn't work because Lucius is already married. Second of all, none of this could work because Bellatrix is already married too!
Harry/Hermione could've worked... Maybe. And that's a BIG maybe. When we told a young lady we know that Harry and Hermione never got married, she was sorta upset. But I'm surprised that Hermione/Ron even worked out with them always being at each other's throats. With Harry/Ginny I just don't really get it. What was so interesting to Harry about Ginny? *Sigh* But J.K.Rowling must've seen some sort of symbolism with Harry/Ginny.
Tonks/Lupin (I know you hate this one too, TNÖ) is kinda a repeat with Lily/James. You know, Order of the Phoenix members getting married, having a son, and dying soon after? So I think that that was the only reason having Tonks/Lupin. That's so evil of J.K.Rowling... But I must admit, it is fun planning characters' deaths.
Hermione/Ron has something to do with Hermione's innitials being HG which stands for mercury I think, and Ron somehow stands for sulfur and then together they have some chemical reaction... Somethin' like that anyways.
p.s. I'm sure Hitler had at least 50 types of mental issues.
