Stolen from saturnsmelody17 because I was bored:


1. Books
Put the books in order from Favorite to least favorite:
1. Goblet of Fire
2. Deathly Hallows
3. Prisoner of Azkaban (these three are really tied for first)
4. Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone
5. Order of the Phoenix
6. Chamber of Secrets
7. Half-Blood Prince
How many times have you read the series?
I lost count. I know I've only read OotP three times and HBP twice (I think), but I've read all the others a bajillion times. In fact, I read GoF so many times I wore my copy to pieces. And it was a hardcover.
Favorite Chapter:
Oh, God...um...how do I pick just one? Actually, it was probably "The Forest Again" from DH.
Five Favorite Quotes:
"Differences in habit and language are nothing if our aims are identical and our hearts are open." (GoF)
"The long game was ended, the Snitch had been caught, it was time to leave the air..." (DH)
"You don't have to call me 'sir', Professor." (HBP)
"And he knew, without knowing how he knew it, that the phoenix had gone, had left Hogwarts for good, just as Dumbledore had left the school, had left the world...had left Harry." (HBP)
"No. It's because he knew you would want to come back." (DH)
Biggest Let-Down:
That tantalizing description JKR posted on her website that I was expecting would be either the new DADA teacher or the Half-Blood Prince...turned out to be Rufus Scrimgeour. Waste of a good character sketch, if you ask me.
One character you would bring back to life:
Fred would be my first choice, but Lupin runs a close second.
Favorite Harry Moment:
Hmm...actually, I think it's the moment in SS/PS when he's lying in the hospital wing talking to Dumbledore, and when Dumbledore says he was afraid he was too late, Harry's immediate response is that he couldn't have kept Quirrell off the Stone much longer. Kind of set the tone for the whole rest of the series to me.
Favorite Ron Moment:
When he saves Harry from the lake in DH. That whole chapter, really, is my favorite Ron moment.
Favorite Hermione Moment:
Her going off on Ron for suddenly realizing she was a girl in GoF.
Favorite Ginny Moment:
Her being so blasé about catching the Snitch in the Griff-Puff match in OotP.
Favorite Neville Moment:
Uh, any moment Neville is in? But seriously, I think my favorite moment is when he's talking to Harry in DH in that lull of the battle, when he tells Harry they're going to keep fighting and Harry asks him to take care of Nagini if Harry can't. I love that interaction...
Favorite Luna Moment:
The hat.
Favorite Snape Moment:
In the Pensieve in DH, when Dumbledore asks him to kill him and he's all caustic and bitingly sarcastic and so typically Snape.
Favorite Dumbledore Moment:
Probably at the end of OotP, when he finally breaks down and tells Harry the truth.
Favorite Voldemort Moment:
I actually really liked the resurrection scene in GoF.
Favorite Sirius Moment:
In GoF (yeah, yeah) when Harry is telling him and Dumbledore about what happened in the graveyard and he's trying to protect Harry from his memories and make Dumbledore leave him alone.
Favorite Weasley Family Moment:
With the whole family? Um...Bill and Fleur's wedding, I think. I like Auntie Muriel.
Favorite Draco Moment:
Believe it or not, the tower scene with Dumbledore in HBP--the scene where he's trying to reconcile his orders with reality.
Moment that will make you cry:
You just want ONE moment? Lord. Uh...Fred's death.

2. The Films
Put the films in order from favorite to least favorite:
1. Chamber of Secrets
2. Goblet of Fire
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Sorcerer's Stone
5. Order of the Phoenix
6. Half Blood Prince
Actor most like their character:
Dame Maggie Smith.
Actor least like their character:
I gotta agree with Michie. Michael Gambon was a horrible Dumbledore.
Favorite Film Set:
That hallway, the one overlooking the courtyard. You know the one.
Three Favorite Film Quotes:
1. "That's all I need. You to blow my ruddy kneecaps off." (SS)
2. "My wand! Look at my wand!" "Be thankful it's not your neck." (CoS)
3. "Now, put your hand on my waist..." "What?!" (GoF)
Favorite scene in the films not included in the book:
McGonagall teaching Gryffindor house how to dance so they don't embarrass her.
Scene you were most disappointed didn't make the films:
Dumbledore's funeral.

3. The Universe

2. Ron Weasley
3. Remus Lupin
4. Minerva McGonagall
5. Oliver Wood
Three Least Favorite Characters:
1. Rufus Scrimgeour

Favorite Member of the Trio:
Ron Weasley
Three Favorite Magical Creatures:
1. Kneazles
2. Puffskeins
3. Phoenixes
Favorite Family:
Toss-up between the Weasleys and the Blacks.
Favorite Villian:
I like Voldemort, actually.
Favorite Death Eater:
Hmm. Avery.
Favorite non-Hogwarts Magical Building:
The Three Broomsticks.
Favorite Diagon Alley Location:
The Leaky Cauldron
Three Favorite Spells:
1. Lumos (flashlights tend to crap out on me)
2. Four-Points Spell (I have a horrible sense of direction)
3. Patronus (I just think it'd be cool)
Three Favorite Potions:
1. Calming Draught (I could seriously use this sometimes)
2. Babbling Beverage (I know a few people who seem like they drink nothing but)
3. Pepperup Potion (I hate winter colds)
Favorite Unforgivable Curse:
Isn't this like asking "favorite way to die"? But I'd have to go with the Killing Curse--at least it's quick.
Favorite Department of Mysteries Room:
The one with the brains. Don't ask me why.
Favorite type of transportation:
The Hogwarts Express.
Favorite Weasley:
George or Ron.
Favorite Order Member:
Lupin.
Favorite pet:
Pigwidgeon!
Favorite Hogwarts Room:
The Room of Requirement.
Favorite Class:
I'd say Charms.
Favorite Teacher:
McGonagall. Hands down.
Favorite DADA Teacher:
Lupin.
Least Favorite Teacher:
Hmm...instinct is to say Umbridge, but I actually think I'll have to go with Lockhart. Ponce.
Favorite Non-Human Resident:
Fang.
Favorite Hogsmeade Location:
The Three Broomsticks.
Favorite Triwizard Champion:
Cedric, actually.
Favorite Triwizard Task:
Probably the second one.
If you had to resort the trio, so one had gone to each other house, and none could remain in Gryffindor, who would go where and why?
Hermione: Ravenclaw. I don't think she really would have fit there because she's intelligent but not smart (there is a difference), but she's intelligent enough to pass off as smart.
Ron: Hufflepuff, sans dout. He's incredibly loyal and dependable. ("Er...shall I make a cup of tea?")
Harry: Slytherin. He doesn't let petty things like the rules stand in his way, and he's fiercely competitive.
Which qualities do you see in Harry that are distinctly not Gryffindor ones?
He's got the Hufflepuff loyalty, and he's definitely a hard worker (c.f. in OotP, when he resists the temptation to follow Dobby to the Room of Requirement because he has to finish his homework). However, as stated previously, he does have some distinctly Slytherin qualities.
Severus Snape - Innately good or innately evil? Self-motivated or really Dumbledore's man?
Innately good. I think he was self-motivated in the beginning, but at the end there he was definitely Dumbledore's man.
How do you feel about James Potter and the Marauders?
They remind me of my brother and his idiot friends. Most boys are jerks at that age. I think Harry judged them too harshly because he himself had to grow up too quickly.

4. The Fandom
How long have you been a HP fan?
Since fifth grade, when I read the first HP book.
Favorite Wizard Rock Band:
Probably Harry and the Potters.
Number of midnight releases attended:
Four--GoF, OotP, HBP, and DH. (All the books, mind you.)
Favorite HP website:
The Harry Potter Lexicon.
Favortie Podcast:
Pottercast.
Favorite Fanartist:
Gwendy was always my favorite.
Most ridiculous Potter theory you ever heard:
That Ron Weasley would somehow fall into a temporal warp or something and reemerge as...Albus Dumbledore. (Swear to God.)
Favorite LJ Harry Potter Community:
I don't really do LJ Potter communities.
Which would you rather see - a sequel or a prequel?
Ooh, they're both tempting, but I would have to say a prequel.
What stereotypes do you associate with each house?
Gryffindor: The jocks.
Ravenclaw: The nerds.
Hufflepuff: The band/orchestra/chorus kids. (Do not ask me for my logic here.)
Slytherin: The preps.

5. Either/Or
Floo Powder or Broom:
Mmm...broom.
Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans or Chocolate Frogs:
Every-Flavour Beans.
Death Eaters or Dumbledore's Army:
I'm ALREADY a member of Dumbledore's Army. Don't even play.
Fred or George:
George.
CAPSLOCK HARRY or Emo Harry:
Emo Harry is more fun to write.
The Ministry of Magic or Gringotts:
The MoM.
Sirius or Lupin:
Lupin.
Occlumency or Legilimency:
Occlumency.
Animagus or Metamorphagus:
Metamorphagus.
Mermish or Parselmouth:
Mermish.

Gee. Um...Lucius. Draco's a whiner.
Peter Pettigrew or Mungdungus Fletcher:
Peter, actually. I want to hit Dung.
Whomping Willow or Flying Ford Anglia:
Definitely the Flying Ford Anglia.
Invisibilty Cloak or Pensieve:
Pensieve. What do I need an invisibility cloak for?
Grimmauld Place or the Burrow:
Definitely the Burrow.
Werewolf or Inferi:
Werewolf.
Herbology or Care for Magical Creatures:
Herbology.
Professor Binns or Professor Umbridge:
Binns.
Yule Ball or Quidditch Championship:
Quidditch Championship.
Peeves or Nearly Headless Nick:
Nearly Headless Nick.
Hippogriff or Thestrals:
Hippogriff.
Durmstrang or Beauxbatons:
Having played both, I can definitely say Beauxbatons.
S.P.E.W. or Inquisitorial Squad:
S.P.E.W.
The Three Broomsticks or The Leaky Cauldron:
Ooh...uh...Leaky.
Portkey or Apparation:
Portkey.
Butterbeer or Pumpkin Juice:
I think I'll go with pumpkin juice, actually.

6. You at Hogwarts
List the Hogwarts Houses in order of which House you would most likely be sorted into (1 being most likely):
1. Ravenclaw
2. Slytherin
3. Hufflepuff
4. Gryffindor
What's your wand?
13 inches, cherry wood and unicorn tail hair.
What character do you empathize, or resemble the most?
Hmm. Probably Cedric Diggory.
Which character would you ask to the Yule Ball?
George Weasley.
Which character would you use a love potion on?
I'm asexual. This is moot.
Which character would you like to use Veritaserum on?
I can't think of anyone I'd want to use it on who wouldn't be strong enough to fight it, so why waste it?
What would you use Felix Felicis to do?
Go skiing in Wintergreen. The first time I went my friend and I fell over each other going down the bunny slope, and the last time I went I was doing really well until I caught my ski on a chunk of ice, slid down the entire mountain on my butt, and wet myself...yeah, that was probably TMI...
What job would you most like to try?
I'd like to work at the Werewolf Support Office in the Ministry of Magic.
If you were an animagus, what animal would you turn into?
Either a coyote (the ability to present both sides of an argument, sarcasm), an elephant (memory, patience, wisdom) or a wolf (loyalty, thought, intuition).
What animal would your patronus be?
I have been told it is a big, fat toad.
What three things would your amortentia potions smell like?
Rain, books, and the oceon.
What position do you play in Quidditch?
Beater or Keeper. Most likely Keeper.
Who would be your best friend if you were sorted into each house?
In Gryffindor, I think it would be Ginny. Hufflepuff, probably Cedric...in Ravenclaw it would be Lisa Turpin (I love Luna but she's too psycho for me). Slytherin, my guess would be Daphne Greengrass since we don't know too much about her.
What three character would you get into cat fights with?
I'd probably get into a snipe-fest with Marietta Edgecombe and the Patil twins.
List 3 character you think you'd ask on a date:
I'm asexual. I wouldn't ask anyone.
Would you have joined Dumbledore's Army and gone to the meeting if Hermione had asked you?
As I said earlier, I DID join Dumbledore's Army...
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse, if so, which one and why?
No. Not worth it.
You just got a Howler. Who's it from and what'd you do? Was it a mistake?
Probably from my grandfather yelling at me about some mismanagement of my money. Not really a mistake, but...
What kind of pet would you pick to be your companion?
An owl. I love my cats, but having automatic mail delivery would be convenient.
While shopping in Hogsmeade you stop by Honeydukes for some sweets. What treats do you purchase for yourself?
Sugar Quills and Ice Mice. Maybe some Pepper Imps.
What's your favorite subject and why?
History of Magic, probably. I'm such a nerd for history.
Likewise, what is your least favorite and why?
Actually, DADA. It seems like the sort of thing I'm not very good at.
