Have you read any/all the HP books? I've only read the first one and it was a really long time ago lol. I think I was in like third grade. :P I just couldn't get into them the way most people did tbh. I've seen all of the movies except the last one, though.
Do you have a favourite book? I guess the first one? LOL.
Who are your favourite characters? I always liked Snape. He's interesting. I can never decide if he's good or bad.
Which Characters do you not enjoy, but think are interesting anyway? I guess Ron? IDK, I didn't like him all that much in the movies, but some of his scenes still made me laugh.
Do you have a favourite scene? I'm drawing a blank, lol. I really should watch the movies again or give the books another try.
Anything else you wanna ramble about? Nah, I'm good.

Exactly, about Snape. I think that's the whole point about that character. And even still, I don't know how I feel about him.

But I'd think you'd be one to like him even more if he was all bad. :-)

[crucified]

He was just always so interesting, you never knew what he was gonna do lol. Was he gonna help Harry or screw him over? Characters like that are so much fun when they're handled well.

LOL you are definitely right about that one. :P

[claddaghemerald]

Yes about Ron. At the time I didn't think much of it but looking back...he kind of seemed like an add on. Harry is the hero, Hermione is smart he is...afraid of spiders?

[crucified]

LOL I only have the movies to base my opinions on, but it seems like Ron was mostly comic relief? I'm sure there's more to his character than JUST that but that's just the feeling I get when I think of what I remember from the movies.

[colls]

I thought I was the only person on the internet who hadn't read all the books! haha

[crucified]

LOL same here tbh. *high fives* :P
Maybe adult me would have enjoyed the books more than kid me did LOL.

[stellicidio]

When I came here, having read only books 1 and 2, I was soooo glad to see there were others like me ;) Although I haven't even seen all the movies, only 1 and 2 as well.

I'm with you on Snape, although I put him in the "characters you not enjoy, but think are interesting anyway" because I think it's Alan Rickman that makes me like Snape.

My grandma LOVES this series so it was always our thing to go see the movies together. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have seen most them. :P

I think Alan Rickman is part of what makes me like Snape, too LOL. He's a great actor and his voice is one of my favorites.

[icequeen3101]

So not surprised that you like Snape. He seems like your type ;D

[crucified]

What do you mean my type?! I like a variety of different types of characters, tyvm. :P
(LOL I'm so predictable though. :P)

[icequeen3101]

*pat pat* *hands you a cookie* :D
(Nope, not at all ;D )

I think the later books are better because they're less little kid like which is what steered me away from the series the first time I read them. I had a friend who was crazy about them and I was like I do not get it.

Then I saw Half-Blood Prince and my friends were talking about how different it was from the books and I was like okay you must read them. Mostly because I hate not knowing what "really" happened.
