( I love Percy Weasley--and I'll tell you why )

“‘That's the trouble with Quidditch,’ said Hermione absentmindedly, once again bent over her Rune translation, ‘it creates all this bad feeling and tension between the Houses.’

She looked up to find her copy of Spellman's Syllabary and caught Fred, George, and Harry looking at her with expressions of mingled disgust and incredulity on their ( Read more... )

Please excuse me while I laugh into my soup. [I'm so mature, amirite? Soup is such a grown up food.]

Right.

I’d like to point out first that a) I never said they were the perfect pair; I simply said they fit much better than Harry and Hermione ever could. b) I never said ‘sassy’; I noted their emotional relationship and equality c) I have ( Read more... )

Um, let's see. Harry obviously knows about the Muggle world, if you've read the books. And what makes you assume that they will NEVER utilize the Muggle world as adults? Really. Furthermore, the fact that Harry and Hermione have MEANINGFUL arguments and talks, like about Dumbledore in the seventh book and all, tells you they DO have a deep ( Read more... )

09. What was your favorite plot twist in the series?
Probably all of Prisoner of Azkaban. Like... Lupin was a werewolf, Black was good, Pettigrew was alive and a killer? It blew my eight-year-old mind. While GoF was so OMG WHUT EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE? it was so much more short-term, really. The mind = blown in PoA was important later. Snape = ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-Three
Any part of the books/movies that makes you cry?

Let's go through this methodically...

PS/SS: In the book, the first chapter because that's where it started. In the film, the beginning and then when Hagrid gives him the photo album.

CoS: In the film, when Fawkes comes to save him. Well, right before when he's all I Am So Brave even ( Read more... )

08. What is your favorite chapter in each book?
Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone: Oh wow, it's a tie. I really can't pick. So, Diagon Alley and The Boy Who Lived. If I honestly had to choose for one, it'd probably be The Boy Who Lived. Because it's the chapter that started it all.

Chamber of Secrets: While I like The Chamber of Secrets, favorite ( Read more... )

Day Twenty-two
Harry Potter or Twilight?
This is a Harry Potter meme.

Take a guess.

But in all honesty, of course Harry Potter. They're not even on the same level. One is a set of dragging pulp fiction romance novels where the prose is poor, there is no foreshadowing, and the main cast is weak as far as characters go. The other manages to promote love ( Read more... )

07. What would your Boggart and Patronus be and why?
My Boggart... I'd like to say failure, but I'm not sure how well the physical  manifestation of that would work. Probably a giant, giant needle. I hate needles. A lot. It's pathetic, but they really are terrifying. (Plus, I'm still young and can have those sort of superficial fears like they did ( Read more... )
