1. Butterbeer or pumpkin juice?

Butterbeer. It sounds so tasty - I imagine it tasting sort of like what you get when you have pancakes and syrup and butter all melted together.

2. What House would you most likely (or want to) be in in Hogwarts?

I think (personally) I'm a Ravenclaw, but most likely I'd be in Hufflepuff :

sorry but that house is so lameass.

3. If you were an animagus, what animal would you turn into?

Hmm... do we have control over animagus forms? I'd probably be something utterly useless like a flamingo. I'd quite like to be a civet, because they are my all time faveourite animals.

Random thought - what if someone's animagus form was a fish? D:

4. What character do you empathize with, or resemble best?

Empathise? Snape totally xD I know what it's like to be ganged up on and bullied like that ... man. Except I didn't become all twisted and bitter about it, I sort of got on with my life. Snape's such a looser but you've gotta love him for it. I mean, his patronus was a doe for crying out loud, that's like he was admitting he knew that Lily was destined for James.

5. What position do you play at Quidditch?

Erm... I'd probably such at Quidditch just like any other sport. But being a beater sounds quite good - I remember being ok at rounders so it's just like that really isn't it?

6. Which teacher is your favorite?

Aww man, there's about four I think are just so awesome. McGonnagol pwns major ass, Quirrel is like... xD awesome and Remus well, he's really cool until he loses said coolness.

7. Any Harry Potter 7 predictions?

I predicted the marauders would die in the reverse order their names appear on the marauders map. For some reason I've always thought this and I don't know why.

I knew that Snape was good - sorry, just too obvious I'm afraid

I didn't think Harry was a Horcrux because it sounded so lame and contrived, but I could understand the reasoning behind it and kinda anticipated that one.

Blah. I thought Hagger was going to die too.

Ok so...

I'm being a really sad person and reading all the HP books through. I said it was something I would do when they all came out, and right now I'm reading Goblet of Fire, but it's slow work.

When I think of the series, I tend to think of the first three books being a kinda 'story' and the last three books kinda being a 'story' and Goblet of fire is just the crummy book in the middle that I don't really have much of a love for.

I mean, IMHO the first three books are all about Harry's introduction into the wizarding world, and him finding out who he is and why he is, where he is (woah... that was a confusing and awful sentence). And the general message of the books is kinda like a child's view of the world

'some adults are bad/annoying, some adults are good/cool. The adults that are cool are the ones that 'let you get away with stuff'. There's some bad stuff happening in the world but it doesn't matter because the grown ups take care of it all'

But the last three books are all about what Harry -does- about his situation. Now that he knows who he is, he set out to do something... about it? And I think the message of the last three books is;

'adults have flaws; even the good ones. The bad ones are bad for a reason, just as the good ones all have skeletons in the closet. There's some bad stuff happening in the world and we can't expect the adults to deal with it by themselves.'

At least, that's the kinda message I got. The fourth book, to me, is just a fun diversion. It's pointless, ok, so Voldemort comes back. SO WHAT. You could have had him coming back in the 3rd book, or at the beginning of the 5th. *shrug* aah well, time to go read through another four chapters of Spew.

Harry Potter 7

Well, don't wanna know don't read for a start. But I have to write this somewhere.



Oh my god it was fucking AWESOME.
I read it in 7 hours, and I still haven't gone to sleep (8 I can't, too much adrenaline and caffiene in my system. After the inital adrenaline from finishing the book (and only one cup of tea), I have had 2 cups of coffee this morning. lol.

Anywho, my thoughts and feelings overall? Well, I thought the beginning and end were amazing, JK included so much cool stuff, so many answers to the burning questions I'm sure many fans will have had after book 6. The middle? Not so hot, but she kept it interesting for me so I'm not complaining - I think reading about the trio being stuck in a tent for most of it, at like 3am just got a bit dull after a while.

Deaths. So many D: I wanted to cry at most of them, but I held back the tears until Fred died, not because it was specifically him, just because at that point it was getting to me how many characters were gone. Hedwig made me very sad indeed, I was pissed off when she just glossed over Remus + Tonks dying, but I think perhaps it was for the best. Remus was JK's faveourite afterall and I bet that was hard for her to write.

Mind you, I had had it spoiled slightly for me when a friend of mine told me a number alluding to the amount of people who die. I'm guessing she was referring to main characters, because more than 12 people died overall, I made a list and everything afterwards just to see if she was right.

1) That Muggle Studies teacher
2) Hedwig
3) Rufus Scrimgeour
4) Dobby
5) Peter Pettigrew
6) Remus
7) Tonks
8) Fred
9) Moldyshorts... I mean Voldemort
10) Ted Tonks
11) Snape
12) Bellatrix
13) Fenrir Greyback
14) Mad Eye Moody

So I'm guessing she didn't count the muggle studies teacher and Ted

Also, I loved how we were told people's patronuses, I loved the chapter on Snape, Lily and Petunia, I loved the part where Lupin threw a tantrum (not sure I'm keen on the name of his kid though... Teddy wtf that's a stupid name)

Although I liked the epilogue, it was confusing with all the names like Albus Severus, Lily and James. I loved how she wrote in Harry's memories from the previous books.

last thought - is snape an animagus w/the whole bat thing? o_O

Moar timelordz plzkthx.

Daw, well on one note I've finished my exams. No more formal education ever, or indeed, education of any kind until September when I will hopefully be going to Manchester Uni. (Fingers crossed)

--

On another note, Dr.Who (revived) series 3 finished on Saturday. And this is probably going to encompass how I feel about it all.

Ok, I'm always sad when a series finishes, but is it just me or has this one been particually good? I think it was up to par with the first definately, series two just didn't make the mark, but this one.... I liked it. When I look at DT now onscreen I think, 'yeah, he's the Doctor.' It's taken me a while, moreso than it had done with CE, because I think he didn't know how exactly he wanted to play him. I hated the thing he had going on with the happy! angry! happy again! Every three minutes. This series he seemed to have calmed down a little and begun to behave as the Doctor should, everything in moderation.

Also, I'm glad they finally ditched Rose. Don't get me wrong, I loved her when she was companion to the 9th, but then it all went horribly wrong. It was a good move to bring in Martha, even though I thought origionally I would hate her, afterall, I find I'm mostly indifferent, but I kind of like her. (I also origionally said I would hate DT for a long time, so I think I'm only making a fuss when I say things like that... although it did take me a series and a half to get used to emodoctah and his gravity defying hair...)

I think it was the last couple episodes that really made me feel as though this series rocked. Though.

God awful fanfiction

Ok, so I've always been a little against the whole idea of fanfiction. For me the only purpose it serves is for a quick bunch of giggles, and boy have I found some funny things over the years.

Recently I was intruiged - 'oh boy, what could they have possibly done to heroes' kind of intruiged, and going to that godawful place fanfiction.net, I discovered something really funny.

You see, they like to write characters from the book/movie/show in relationships, and sometimes the writers will show the relationship with a slash, a small x or... my personal faveourite, smooshing the two names together to make a new, funnier name. The latter is decidedly prominent for some reason when it comes down to Heroes fanfiction, with hilarious results (well, me and my sister found them funny)

My faveourite monstrosities include

Plaire (Peter and Claire. Did anyone ever point out to these people that this counts as incest?)

Mohindlar (Mohinder and Sylar, on another note. Nobody should ever describe an indian person as tasting like curry. It's just too amusing)

Clikki (I can even begin to describe why I find this funny, every time I write it I can't help but giggle. It's Claire and Niki for those of you who couldn't figure it out)

Cleter (Peter, Claude... oh god)

But yeah. This is another random journal designed to curb my ever impending boredom.
