30 Days of Harry Potter (days 1-10) started Oct. 29, 2010

1. Top three favorite characters & why

  • Ronald Weasley. he’s a ginger. I love gingers. but really, I just like him in general. he’s hilarious and Harry’s best friend and it was totally obvious from the beginning that he and Hermione were meant to be together.
  • Severus Snape. he was in love with Lily. I will always be a fan of unrequited love. I just love that he turned out to be a good guy in the end.
  • I don’t really know who my third would be, there are so many good ones. I guess I’ll go with Kreacher & Dobby (as a unit). Dobby was with Harry all along and I bawled when he died. and Kreacher really was a good house elf and played a key role and I’m glad he also turned out to be good.

2. Did it take awhile for you to get into the series, or did you immediately fall in love

well my aunt bought me The Sorcerer’s Stone for my 10th birthday and I started the first chapter but I wasn’t really into reading so I never finished it. almost a year later I started reading it again and didn’t stop. I fell in love for life. and it’s thanks to Harry Potter that I now love to read.

3. Favorite villian & why

I’m going to say Snape, even though in the end he wasn’t a villian at all, but you thought he was for almost 7 books. he’s just so, amazing. he’s harsh and particularly nasty to Harry, but only because he was James Potter’s son, not his own. he was in love with Lily and in the end it was partly because of that love that Voldemort was finally finished.

4. I know you love them all, but list all of the books in order from favorite to least favorite
  1. Deathly Hallows
  2. Half-Blood Prince
  3. Prisoner of Azkaban
  4. Goblet of Fire
  5. Sorcerer’s Stone
  6. Chamber of Secrets
  7. Order of the Phoenix

5. Which of the deaths did you have the hardes time with

honestly, probably Dobby’s. I absolutely bawled when he died. but I didn’t cry when Dumbledore died. what’s wrong with me, right? I also was pretty upset when everybody died at the end of the 7th. gah.

6. One of your favorite quotes

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head right now is

“Give her hell for us, Peeves”

when the Weasley twins leave Hogwarts in The Order of the Phoenix.

7. Your favorite movie

well as of right now it’s the 4th one, but I’m hoping that will change with the 7th and 8th ones.

8. Anything you’d change in the epilogue

I don’t think I would change anything. maybe just that Neville and Luna were together, but everyone was with who the needed to be with so I was pleased with it.

9. What would be your favorite class at Hogwarts

hmm, probably Quidditch. isn’t that like their p.e.? haha. um, but besides that, probably Transfiguration or Charms. definitely not History of Magic since the teacher sucks, but if the teacher was good, I’d definitely say that class. I love me some history :)

10. The cloak, the wand, or the stone

I’d definitely go with the cloak. I’d love to be invisible haha. there’s way too much power that comes with the wand and nobody really close to me has died, so I really have no use for the stone.
