Sort Me!
Name: Lauren
Age: 15 (nearly 16 XD)
Where did you find out about us? I heard about the comm on delusionalfans, and I thought it was a great idea. So I e-mailed Andee and asked if I could help out :)
What Wizarding World profession/occupation would you choose and why? I'd love to be a Transfiguration Professor. For some reason the subject of Transfiguration has always interested me, I think it would be cool to be able to transfigure stuff, and it could come in handy.
What Hogwart’s subject would you like to teach and why? Transfiguration, like above. Or Charms, because I love writing spells. Spell writing has always interested me, I don't think I'm very good at it, but I try XD
What would your animagus form be, if you had a say in the matter, and why? A horse. They're my favourite animal. I think they're so gorgeous and magnificiant. They're really amazing creatures.
What HP character do you identify with most and why? Hermione. I'm defiantly not as smart as her, or that, but I feel I can relate to her. I never had many friends at school, no one seemed to really understand me.. And I only had a few close friends too.. I also feel really self-concious at times, and have a low-self esteem, Whilst I don't think Hermione's is as bad as mine.. it's somewhat similar...
What do you think you would see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised? My family being happy. Yeah I know. I have a terrible home life, there's always arguments and we can never get along.. So to see us actually being happy and smiling would be my dream come true..
If you were could invent one spell/potion/charm, what would it do, how would you use it, and what would it be called? Oh god.. I don't know lol.. Um... OK, it would be a charm. It would give people that extra push to believe in themself, not so they think they're unstoppable, or can do anything, but just to let them know that if they really try they can do what they want. And the spell would be 'Belivo Incanatino' haha, that's so lame.
If given the chance, would you put your name in the Goblet of Fire to compete as a Triwizard Champion? Why or why not? God no. I'm not brave, there's no way I'd be able to do all those challenges. I'd also hate the pressure.. I can't stand pressure, and of course I'd feel as though I have to win otherwise I'd let my school down, and if I didn't win I would be soo depressed. I hate letting people down.
If you were to face a boggart, what would it turn into? And what does it turn into when you throw the counter-spell, Riddikulus? A big, giant, ugly, bug. With lots of nippers. Probably a cross between a Cockaroach (sp?) and a scorpian! When I use Riddikulus it would shrink really small, and lose it's nippers ect.. and roll over onto it's back so it can't move.
What do you look for in a friend? Someone's who kind, loyal and trustworthy. I don't care who they are, aslong as they have those three traits. Also someone who accepts me for who I am, not what I am.
What trait most annoys you about other people? People who are selfish and traitors, and who judge you for what you look like. I hate people who judge you when they don't even know you. They don't have a right. Also, people who only care about themselves!
What trait most annoys you about yourself? My low self esteem, my ability not to be able to handle pressure and that I'm really unorganized.
What do you think are your top four abilities or qualities? I'm loyal, trustworthy, a good listener and un-selfish.
What do you think are your top four weaknesses or worst qualities? My low selfesteem, being stubborn, jumping into something without nowing the full story and um, being disorganized.
You were just given a pensieve as a gift, what memories would you choose to place in it and why? The time I spent with my pop. He died when I was four, yet I still remember it like it was yesterday. I'd love to be able to see those memories again, it might even help me accept it and move on.
What are your feelings on the Dark Arts? Are you for it, against it, or indifferent about it? Against. I think it's horrible that so many innocent people have/had to die.
Which character from Harry Potter is your favorite and why? Hermione, for the same reasons as the 'What HP character do you identify with most and why?' question.
Which character from Harry Potter is your LEAST favorite and why (You may not say Voldemort, Umbridge, or any known Death Eaters since they are written with the intention of dislike)? Ginny. In the previous books she was a background character, and alright. But then in OotP and HBP she suddenly becomes this amazing girl, who can do nothing wrong.. who's the life and soul of the team, it just annoys me so much! No one is that perfect. I also hate what she said to Hermione in HBP, that was so mean!
As a student at Hogwarts, how would you spend your free time? Probably in the library reading. The books there would be amazing, I could spend hours in there. Or I'd walk around the Lake, it would be relaxing, and it seems like a great place to think.
Which class do you think you would do well in? Why? Charms or Transfiguration because I love spells/spell writing.
Which class do you think you wouldn't do well in and why? Potions, defiantly. Science was my worst subject at school, so there's no way I'd be good at Potions. Plus I don't think I'd like having Snape as a teacher!
If you were on your house Quidditch team what position would you LIKE to play and why? Chaser, because there's no way I could be seeker, or beater or anything like that. I'm OK at netball so I'd probably combine my netball passing skills with being Chaser.
If you were on your house Quidditch team what position do you think you SHOULD play and why? Keeper. My best position is defence. So I'd probably be most good at defending the hoops. Also, I'm not an atheletic person. I hate sport. All kinds of sport (except for horse-riding )
Which of the Harry Potter books was your favorite and why? Order of the Phoenix. It was so amazing. The descreptions, the plot, the characterizations, the twists everything. It made me laugh and cry. Everything in that book shocked me, and it was just brilliant. I also loved the H/Hr closeness ;)
Which Harry Potter book was your least favorite and why? Half Blood Prince. And not just because my ship didn't happen, that's the least of my worries. The characterization was completely off, the plot was boring, it was full of cliches and it didn't continue from the previous books! Where were Neville and Luna? Harry didn't even grieve about Sirius!
Which Harry Potter movie was your favorite and why? Prisoner of Azkaban. Even though a lot of scenes were cut, I still loved the way it was put together and directed.. Or maybe it's just because there were so many amazing H/Hr scenes and Dan and Emma have the best chemistry XD
Which Harry Potter movie was your least favorite and why? I honestly don't have a least favourite. I loved them all.
If you could change ONE thing in the series, what would it be and why? Harry and Hermione getting together!
I think it is safe to say that Harry Potter is full of symbolism, so to go along with that, please click on the specified links and follow the directions.
Go to this site: Symbolism: Colors
Pick the color that most appeals to you and copy and paste what it says about you: The color pink usually serves two purposes. It can be used to show childish innocence, or a characters child-like personality. For example, Mami (the girl at the top of the page with the pink hair), very much wants to remain a child. She gets pleasure out of very simple, and 'childish' things. So, her hair is pink. Even so, Miho-chan also would like to grow up and become an adult woman… but she's also afraid of losing her childhood innocence. It can also be used to show a more flirtatious personality. Pink is normally a color associated with girls and femininity.
Pink is considered a color of good health and life - we speak of people being "in the pink" or the "freshness" of a newborn babe.
Lastly, pink is associated with sexuality, and purity. That is, a girl who is a virgin in heart and body. Pink is symbolic of pure love, for example. It is also the color used for sexual advertisements and such, to indicate the purity of the girls.
Do you agree? Yes.
Go to this site: Symbolism: Elements
Pick the element that appeals to you most and copy and paste what it says about you: As stated in the Intro, water is an element usually associated with girls and women. Water can also be used to show love or concern. Characters and things that are shown to have a 'watery' quality to them usually have a blue-colored theme to them. Blue because of the primarily blue color of water. Characters that have a 'watery' quality to them are more likely to 'go with the flow', but can also show very chaotic responses as well.
Water is frequently associated with women because it is theorized that life first came from water (new life comes from women), without water every living thing would die (without women, a species would die), it can take many forms and shapes (as can women), and religiously women are tied to water (such as the Greek parthanon goddess Aphrodite who was born of the sea foam). This can be shown by the female character being a swimmer, with the girls touching still lakes or ponds, or with a water colored costume, or with a preponderance of water pokemon. Water can also be shown to show a female character being scared and frightened about the changes happening to her; physically, mentally, and emotionally - that is water has no fixed shape or form, and is in a state of constant flux, just as girls are as they go through adolescence. This can be shown by having the girl panic when she gets into a pool or lake, or be afraid of water. In addition, water can be used as an erotic tool. Hair and skin look much different when wet; and when you normally see a girl with dry hair and skin, it can add a bit of eroticism to her if her hair is wet. Clothes also fold and adhere differently when they are wet
However, water can also symbolize love because it isn't stagnant (and love is constantly evolving), it can come in many forms (people love different things for many different reasons), and it is very difficult to grasp water (as it is usually very difficult for the heroines in shoujo stories to sort out their feelings for the other characters). This can be illustrated in an Anime by showing two leaves in a pool of moving water... where you're not sure if they two leaves will meet, or part. Or by the rain when the hero or heroine realizes that the one they love they might not be able to be with. Common symbolisms include storms and rainfall indicating sadness or heartbreak, snow indicating coldness of heart, dark clouds covering the Moon (eternal symbol of femininity) indicating dark events for the girl(s), bright fluffy clouds indicating positive change and optimism, and clear skies indicating perfect events and a clear future.
Do you agree? Yes.
Go to this site: Zodiac
Click on your Zodiac sign and copy and paste what it says about you: Ruler: Mars / Element: Fire / Mode: Cardinal
Pole: Positive / Third: Primordial / Half: Subjective
Unbridled expression of your inner nature; activity that is self-motivated, unaffected by others; new beginnings, the start of new cycles, birth; enthusiasm and vitality.
Aggressive, willful, powerful, assertive; enthusiastic about whatever interests you at the moment, focused in short bursts, unlikely to sustain interest in the long term; ego expression; adventurious, pioneering; Warrior-type energy; impatient with having to cooperate with others, works best alone or in leadership role; unconcerned with approval or acceptance; lacks persistance and stamina; honest and forthright, "what you see is what you get", not given to airs or pretenses; the first expression (or incarnation ) of spirit within a new cycle on the physical plane.
Do you agree? Sort of. I don't think I'm powerful or aggressive (well sometimes ;)), but the rest is true.
Go to this site: Choose your wand.
Pick your wand and then paste what the site says about your wand:
Good Transfiguration Work! Your wand can be used greatly in this area of advanced magic!
Let’s do a little word association here (you may go over one word, but please keep it concise). When you hear the following words you immediately think…
Courage: Brave
Loyalty: Friends
Intelligence: Not me
Ambition: Want more than you need
Name a person, alive, dead or even a character from a movie or book, that you most admire. Why do you admire this person? Delta Goodrem, she's an Australian singer (she's a live). I think she's such an amazing wonderful person, she's done so much and a lot has happened to her, she's my insperation and I admire her so much.
If you could own any magical creature, what would it be? An unicorn. Probably through my love of horses. They're gorgeous creatures.
What is the worst quality you believe that a person, any person, can possess? Never thinking of others, always themselves. I can't stand selfish-ness. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm always putting others before myself, but I just hate that quality so much.
Which house do you feel you belong in and why? I'm not going to lie and say Gryffindor, because even though I'm extremely loyal, I am totally not brave or anything. So I'd have to say Hufflepuff, I value friendship over anything else.
What house do you think you WOULDN'T belong in and why? Slytherin. I could never be that low and horrible. I could never hate someone just because they're aren't a "pure blood". I'm a really kind, caring person.. I could never be mean and horrible.
Why do you want to be part of this community? Will you remain active in the sub-communities and voting after you've been stamped in a house? Because I'm sick of feeling like I can't join in, or post my icons, in general HP comms. I'm sick of getting "i hate hhr" comments... I think this comm is a great idea.. It's great to be able to take part in a general HP comm. And yep, will defiantly remain active =D
Sorry, that was probably awful.. I've never done anything like this before :/
