1. Name:Rachel Iba
2. Age:13
3. Favourite book of the Harry Potter series so far? Why is this your favourite?:The fourth book was definitely my favorite in the series so far. I found the story the most interesting for me personally, and thought the character development in the plot was especially exciting in this book. Harry, Ron and Hermione all found themselves in even deeper trouble, and more challenging problems than the three books previous, as well as learning more, and introducing new characters to the story line.
4. What qualities do you consider important in a person?:I consider kindness, and being down to earth, as two major qualities I admire in a person. I find these qualities crucial in interacting with other people, and making friends. Being down to earth makes you easier to be with, and makes friends who except you for who you are. Also, having an additude of kindness towards others helps with all social connections.
5. Do you have a role model, and if so, who is it?:At the moment I don't have a role model. I try to be an induvidual, and not copy someone else. Although there are many people in my life I admire. People who diplay the above mentioned qualities, such as my Mom, some friends, and other people who have affected my life in a positive way.
6. What do you think of Snape?:I don't think very highly of Snape, not only because of his negative portrayal in the books from Harry Potter's perspective, but his additude towards students in general.
7. Who do you relate to most within the Harry Potter series?:I feel I relate most with the character Hermione, because like her, I am quite studious, and always eager to learn.
8. Who is your favorite character Harry Potter character?:I love many of the characters in the Harry Potter series, but Dumbledore is definitely one of my favorites. I admire his wisdom, and the respect he recieves for being such an outstanding wizard. Also the guidance he gives to Harry and other students. He is completely unselfish (giving his own life for Harry, etc.) and always knows the difference between right and wrong.
9. Who is your least favorite character? [You may not use Umbridge, she was written specifically for people to hate]:I would have to say Draco Malfoy is my least favorite character in the series. His meaness and selfishness towards his alliances and students in general has lowered my view of him dramatically. He is very cruel towards almost everyone outside his "circle" of friends and family.
10. What position would you play in Quidditch?: I am not a very athletic person, but am a great talker, and good at describing things. I think I would definitely make a good commentator. I speak clearly and am a very fair person. My commentary would be unbiased and easy to understand.
11. What do you consider the most prominent part of your personality and why?: (For example: are you loud?, are you untrusting? etc...) I would say being outgoing is one of the more prominent parts of my personality. I am a very social person and very friendly towards other people.
12. What do you think of the Harry Potter movies?: see the movies as one interpertation of the books. Personally, I did not envision the books in the same way as the director of the movie, but they are somewhat entertaining in themselves. As for the movies compared to the books, I don't think the movies quite give the books the justice they deserve. I wouldn't say they 'ruined' the books, but simply showed one person's view of the story. Can a movie ever match a person's imagination?
13. What do you consider the key qualities of the four Hogwarts houses?:I've always seen Gryffindor as brave and true of heart, Hufflepuff as kind, and down to earth, Ravenclaw as smart, and preppy, and Slytherin as determined, and often arrogant.
14. What qualities do you think you have which may match you to one of the four houses?:As mentioned above, I consider kindness and being down to earth as important in people. I also value these qualities in myself, perhaps matching me to Hufflepuff.
15. What do you think are the 4 best qualities about you?:First of all, being friendly is one of my best qualities. I make friends easily, and interact well with others. Humor, also is a quality I posess in great quantity, it goes along with my outgoing personality. Also, my congeniality is another great quality. I always do well and school, and am eager to learn and understand. Lastly, I am very confident in myself, and in what I do, though I try not to be overly.
16. And the worst?:Firstly, one of my worser qualities and a great weakness of mine, is my gullibility. I try to be careful who I listen too, but I often am a little too trusting. Also, at times I can be quite impatient, especially when waiting for something important. I also have the tendency to sometimes over anylyze things, or situations. Lastly, this is both good and bad, but I am very much a perfectionist. I always pay attention to detail, and do my absolute best, but am often upset if I am unable to.
17. Given the choice, is there any house you would specifically not like to be in?:Given the choice, I would probably ask not to be in Slytherin, because not only the negative portrayal in the books, but I personally don't think I would do well in the house.
18. Did someone refer you to this community? If not, how did you find out about it?:I was refered to this community by JRYC174.
19. How much time, realistically, can you contribute here?:Realistically, I can contribute a decent amount of time. I don't know how much time is preferable.
