Potter Meme
This meme originally came from Big A little a, but I got it via Katie.1. Butterbeer or pumpkin juice?
I'm really not much of a fan of sweet drinks. I do like creme soda (which most of my friends agree is the closest us muggles are getting to butterbeer), but I definitely wouldn't want it every day. Since most of the descriptions of pumpkin juice seem to suggest it is cool and thirst quenching I assume it must not be sweet (or not very sweet anyway).
I guess I'll go with pumpkin juice then.
2. What house would you most likely (or want to) be in in Hogwarts?
I'm actually guessing Hufflepuff. I was very much a bookworm as a kid, but I recognized early on that hard work can be worth a lot more than talent. Also, as much as I know I'm smart, I've never seen myself as the creme-de-la-creme of intellectualism.
3. If you were an animagus, what animal would you turn into?
The boring old standby of house cat. Probably a wild type semi-long haired with the traditional brown/black stripped pattern. I suppose I'd need a "beauty mark" coloring irregularity on my forehead, since all animagus seem to be marked in some way.
4. What character to you empathize with or resemble best?
As a child I was a lot like Hermione, except for the fact that I never had such steadfast friends. I was very much the bookworm, know-it-all, and even had the tendency to tattle to teachers down. I was shyer than Hermione though. I expect being in such a small school makes that a tad easier for her.
5. What position do you play at Quidditch?
I wouldn't. I have been miserable at sports since I was in kindergarden. I would probably be an okay flier, but would develop a reputation for being hit in the head by the quaffle repeatedly during practices because I wasn't watching for a pass/shot. After a while no one would pick me for their team and I'd be volunteering to referee most of the time just to make the situation less painful for everybody.
6. Which teacher is your favorite?
Despite his short tenure at Hogwarts, I'm going to go for Lupin. He is an overwhelmingly good guy and a very effective teacher. He also nurtures his students in ways that I really appreciated from my teachers in real life.
7. Any Harry Potter 7 predictions?
I'm going to predict that the bad guys lose (giant surprise there, huh?). I've giving about a 30% chance of Ginny getting killed, which would make me sad. I like Ginny a lot.
