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:Red
Red can symbolize many things; from blood, to love, to infatuation. Basically red symbolizes strong emotions, or things of strong emotions rather than intellectual ideas. For example, red can symbolize excitement, energy, speed, strength, danger, passion, and aggression.
According to Henry Dreyfus, it is popularly felt that red, the color of blood and fire, represents life and vitality. Red also signifies the color of the sun: a symbol of energy, radiating its vitalizing life-force into human beings. Red is also looked upon as a sensual color, and can be associated with man's most profound urges and impulses. Ironically, red cats symbolize bad luck.
Do you agree? yes, except for the cats of course...
Go to this site: Symbolism: Elements
Pick the element that appeals to you most and copy and paste what it says about you:Earth
Earth is usually associated with men. It shows a solid quality. Characters and things that are shown to have an 'earthy' quality to them usually have a green-colored theme to them. Green because of plants. In this case by "earthy" I more mean the soil or rock itself, and not the plants; since the realm of Nature is, story-wise, the realm of women
Do you agree? Yes
