1. Name: Mollie
2. Age: 16
3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? England. Definitely. I've only been there once before (when I was 11), and I fell in LOVE with it. I'm going back this summer, which is exciting. I can't really explain why I like England so much...the culture is awesome, I love the history, and the accents are a nice plus! ;)
4. What would your Room of Requirement look like? Maybe my bedroom, just with a computer in it. I'm not really sure. It depends on what'd I required at the time. If I needed a nice long cry, it would my bedroom, with my mom there too. If I needed to relax...maybe something like a library, with big comfy chairs, a computer, a TV, and lots of good books.
5. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character?I'm not really sure. My first instinct would be to say Umbridge. I've wanted to be a teacher all of my life, and for teacher to abuse her students...well that just really gets me upset. But Umbridge is written to be disliked, so I'll have to say I also dislike Lucius Malfoy and Gilderoy Lockhart--to vain (and Malfoy is too prejudiced).
6. Is the glass half empty or half full? Most days it's half full.
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.
"No one is a failure if they have friends" --the angel from It's a Wonderful Life"
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." --Alexander Graham Bell
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Friendship with one's self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world." --Eleanor Roosevelt
8. In your life, who comes first: family or friends? Family. But a lot of my friends are family, so they come first as well. I'm so close to my best friend, that she is 'the third daughter my parents never had' we put my last name on the end of hers as a joke. Her mother has even accidently called her that by mistake.
9. What is your favorite childhood memory?When I was younger, before we moved to the house I live in now, we lived right nextdoor to a boy only a year younger than me. My favorite memories are of him, my sister, and I all playing together, whether it be swinging, playing in the creek by his house, or making 'potions' with water, berries, and flower petals. We always had such great 'adventures' and those were some of my best memories.
10. What would you say is your biggest flaw?I get frustrated really easily, and when I get frustrated I get upset and stressed, and that is never a good thing. I also take my siblings' teasing too seriously.
11. If you had been at Hogwarts during Harry’s fifth year, do you think that you would have joined the D.A.?I know I would have liked to, but I hate breaking the rules. I'm such a goody-two-shoes. I can't skip class, even for five minutes, and I'm never late. But I think I would have gone to at least one meeting, and I certaintly wouldn't have told Umbridge about the club.
12. Describe how you react to difficult or stressful situations. Other than anything dealing with school and grades (which I don't think is what is being asked for here), the most stressful situation I've ever been in is when I had to have surgery. It's been about two months, and I still can't believe how I was relaxed I was when I they stuck the IVs in my arm, or even coming out of the surgery. I really think my parents were more stressed than I was throughout the whole ordeal. But sometimes when I'm particularly stressed about something (such as a test, or fight with a friend)I'll have trouble sleeping because I can't stop worrying about it.
13. Which do you value more: compassion or justice? This is probably the toughest question for me, but I'm going to have to say compassion. Justice is important, and people who do horrible things definitely deserve it, but if a child accidently knocks over a vase, it's likely that they'll need compassion more than punishment. I think the most important thing to remember when deciding between compassion and justice, is to look at the situation and decide which fits best.
14. Would you say that you’re a child at heart, or that you have an old soul? I'm definitely a child at heart. I'm so easily amused, and when I babysit, I'm the first one into the box of legos, or to put 'Madeline' into the VCR. I miss being a kid sometimes.
15. Which Hogwarts House do you think that the Sorting Hat would place you in? Gryffindor. Hufflepuff would be a second, as I'm loyal to my friends, but I'm not that hardworking. As for being a Lion, I may not like to break rules, but I'm headstrong and stubborn, and I stand up for what I believe in, just as any other Gryffindor would.
16. If you have a picture of yourself and feel comfortable posting it, please do so! Pictures are fun!
I'm about 12 here
