Time to get stamped!
1. Name:
Samantha
2. Age:
24
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
I would live in the UK. I am from there originally and I moved to go to University in the US, and I miss home. So most definitely the UK.
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like?
I am flexible, as to the little details but comfort will have to be a priority. Then there would be books, music and food, for me that would be perfection.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?
My least favourite character would have to be Peter Pettigrew. I say him because with Pettigrew there is this whole facade. He acted like he was a true friend and betrayed those who had entrusted him and then hid like the coward that he is for years. To betray ones friends in my book is unforgivable.
6. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Realistically the glass is wrong size for the amount of liquid poured into it....I suppose I must choose so the glass is half full, I believe in looking at things positively and hoping for the best possible outcome....however that being said there is such a thing as unrealistic optimism, sometimes the glass is just half empty.
7. Give us a quotation (Can be from a famous person, a song, or even a poem-whatever you want) you feel represents your life or personality.
I have to pick two....
I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to chose where we come from, we can still chose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them ~The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I think the person who has had more experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering. From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life. ~ HH the Dalai Lama
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends?
Friends. My friends are my family and vice versa, I get along with my sisters exceptionally well and we are friends and would be friends even if we were not sisters. We choose our friends they are not given to us. Definitely friends I am just lucky that I happen to be related to some of my friends.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Christmas when I was five years old. The ground was covered with snow and it was my maternal grandparents my parents, my siblings and myself. It was an age of innocence for me and it was the last Christmas that we were all together.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?
I have zero patience!
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?
I would have joined it in an instant. Anything that would have improved my DADA skills and at the same time taken a stand in what is right and against Umbridge and all she stood for would have appealed to me greatly.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations.
The more stressful, the more challenging and I make sure that I do my best to never fail at a challenge. So the more difficult the situation the harder I work at it. If need be I take a step back, look at the situation from another angle, revaluate my strategy and address the situation again.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice?
Justice. Compassion really varies from situation to situation and person to person, it is based on ones own morals and values, on empathy and perception, therefore compassion clouds judgment. Justice is fair and equal across the board, the same rules for everyone. Justice does not take into account the emotional aspects of the situation; it just deals with what you did and how you are going to pay for it.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul?
There will always be that part of me that is a child but I would have to say I am an old soul. I have always felt older than my actual age, beyond my physical years.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in?
I was born a Gryffindor! When faced with a fearful situation I do what I need to do. I am also very protective of those that are near and dear to me and will defend them, with fists if necessary if I feel they are being threatened in any possible way.
When I began reading the series it is the house that I identified with regardless of the fact is also the house of the trio and naturally the most popular one in the fandom.
