HP challenge Day 21

Day 21: Out of all the characters that died, if you could bring one back, who would it be.

Fred, hands down… I know there was a ton of deaths in Deathly Hallows, but his death made me the saddest.. I think I related to this one the most since I have sisters that are twins. I just don’t know what I would do if one of them weren’t around anymore, or even what the other twin would do without the other.

Who would you bring back if you could?

HP challenge Day 20

(This was meant to go up yesterday... Sometimes life happens which makes it so you can't..) 

 

Day 20: If you had to meet one member of the cast, who would it be?

Well, since I’ve already met four of the actors from the cast (Fred, George, Neville, and Seamus), I’d am content… Nah, I would love to meet anyone from the trio or Evanna Lynch.  All great people and meeting anyone of them would make me happy.  If I had to meet one out of those four Evanna would trump all.

If you could meet one member of the cast, who would you choose?

HP challenge Day 19

Day 19: Do you prefer the books or films?

I prefer the books to the films. As Belle from Beauty and the Beast puts it, “It takes you to far-off places, daring swordfights and a prince in disguise.”  Books take you to a different world.  What they have that movies lack is depth of the characters that makes it so that you fall in love with them.  Also, movies can’t cover all of the cool plot points in the books.  Movies miss the feeling and description you get from the books.

 Do you prefer the books or films?

HP challenge Day 18

Day 18: Least favorite book.

If I have to choose one, I'd probably say Order of the Phoenix...The only reason why I say this one is because Harry is grumpy all the time in this one.  I also cried a ton when Rowling killed off Sirius.

Which one of the series would be your least favorite?

HP challenge Day 17

Day 17: Were you excited about The Deathly Hallows movie or scared it won’t do the book justice?

Just like every Harry Potter movie I was kind of scared that it wouldn’t do the book justice.  I feel that the movie did quite well at following the book, but it did help that they split the last book into two movies.  I felt that it covered every point, and the very ending scene showing them ten years later was really tender and was close to what I imagined it to be like.

What did you guys think?

HP challenge Day 16

Day 16: Favorite professor

I love Lupin! I think he was actually my first book crush.  He is good-natured, kind, and able to extract the best in everyone.

Harry Potter Wiki describes Lupin’s personality as this:

Remus was very intelligent, calm, tolerant, fair-minded, gentle and good-natured. Despite having suffered a great deal of prejudice in his life due to his lycanthropy, he managed to retain an ability to see the good in almost everybody and was extremely forgiving. He also had an excellent sense of humor, and when he was a student at school, was one of the Marauders. However, unlike his friends, he never partook in bullying, being personally against such behavior (possibly because of the prejudices he suffered as a werewolf), though he also stood by and did nothing to stop it. He hence could be described as the most mature one of the group. He even became a prefect in his fifth year. Also, unlike his friends, he was able to, or at least would try to maintain civil conversation with those he did not get along well with, a notable example being Snape.

Remus was quite perceptive, with an uncanny ability to guess the thoughts of those around him. This is especially clear in his conversations with Harry, such as his understanding that Harry thought Lupin believed him incapable of tackling a Bogart.

I hope this gives you guys a little glimpse into why I think he’s so awesome.  Who is your favorite Hogwarts professor?

HP challenge Day 15

Day 15: Who would be your best friends at Hogwarts? (Three only)

I really think I would get along with Luna, Ginny, and Hermione.  Luna is eccentric, blunt, honest, doesn't care what others think of her, and is compassionate.  With Luna I think I would be a follower and talk with her about her dad’s Quibbler.  Ginny is forceful, nice, and independent.  She is one that I could see myself being able to talk to easily.  Hermione is diligent, hardworking, and compassionate.  The three of them have their own traits that have them stand out, but all are compassionate in some form.  They are ones that I can relate to, and so this is why I could see myself being friends with these three.

Who do you think would be your best friend at Hogwarts?
