SORTING HAT
You're just about to sorted into your first year at Hogwarts! What would be going through your mind?:
I'm not really sure what I would be thinking. I would prolly just be concentrating on not tripping.
Professor McGonnagall shows you towards the stool and places the hat upon your head - it takes a moment to think before shouting out your House. How do you react? How do the students of your sorted house react? I would prolly react in a cool fashion, I don't generally respond to things like that, they just seem trivial to me. I would hope that the other students in my new house would be happy to have me join them but I don't really know how they would react, everybody is different.
Sitting at the dinner table with fellow students around you, what kind of people would you want to talk to first? The busy ones, or the very quiet ones? Who would interest you? Who would you observe? I would want to talk to the people who seem very self-confidant because I've always really admired those kind of people but at the same time I probably wouldn't actually talk to them because I'm not really the most out-going person when I'm first meeting them, but once I get to know people I become quite a bit more involved in conversations. When I'm in a situation with a lot of new people I tend to be sort of a wallflower and just watch what is happening around me.
Imagine you're sat at your dormitory window on your first night: the others are asleep in their beds. What's going through your mind? I would be thinking about all of the people I had just met. Thinking about who I would like to get to know better.
ABOUT YOU
Assume all questions end with 'Why?'
Who is your favourite character in HP?: My favorite character is Cedric Diggory. I loved how he went against the sterotype of Hufflepuffs by being such a wonderful wizard. It's always bugged me how people think that people in Hufflepuff are to stupid to actually do anything and I admired Cedric for disproving that idea. I also liked how he was really loyal to his friends because I'm also really loyal to people I care about.
Who is your LEAST favourite character in HP? My least favorite charater is Harry. I really hate the way people think he is so amazing when for the most part he is just lucky. I feel like he could become a good wizard but really nothing as special as people think he is.
What occupation interests you / what would you most like to do in the HP books?: I would most like to play Qudditich because it is such a fast paced game which really excites me. And for an occupation I would most likely work in a bookshop in Diagon Alley because that is the same thing I want to do in real life. But before getting a job I would want to travel the world and learn as much as I can about everything.
To you, what is the most important message in the Harry Potter books?: I think the most important message in the books is to be true to who you are and what you believe. In the books people are themselves more than people in our world and I think that is wonderful. Also in the books people are more dedicated to what they believe to be right, even if it is something like supporting Voldemort.
If you were told you had to kill off someone in the HP books, who would it be? (please don't answer Voldemort, we'd all like to see the back of him): I would probably kill of Harry mostly just cause I don't like him all that much and I do really think he is going to die in the seventh book anyway.
How would YOU finish the HP series in book 7?: I would finish the series with a climatic battle between Harry and Voldemort ending with them both dying and the wizarding world being able to rebuild and become far stronger than it was before the rise of Voldemort.
If you were chosen to carry on the HP series by JK Rowling and to carry on the adventures, would you or wouldn't you and why? I wouldn't because I don't feel I'm a good enough writer to write something that so many people would read.
If you answered 'Yes' to the previous question, how would you continue the series, what stories?
THE CLINCHER
Assume all questions end with 'Why?'
If you were a jewel you'd be: I would probably be ruby because I really love the color of it.
If you were an animagus you'd be: I would probably be a peregrine falcon because they are so powerful for such a small creature and I've always wanted to fly, something about the ability to be self relient and be able to go anywhere is really appealing to me.
If you were an emotion you'd be: I don't know what emotion I'd be, mine vary so much that I can't just choose whichever one I experience most so I don't really know. Is indecisiveness an emotion?
If you were a weapon you'd be: I would probably be a bow and arrows simply because ever since I was little I've really liked the how it can be very simple or very extravagant in appearance but still have the same power either way when used by a skilled shooter.
If you were a tool you'd be: I'd be a monkey wrench because I like monkeys.
If you were a spell you'd be: Probably expelliarmus(sp?) because it is used so frequently and I would like to be that depended on.
If you were a good quality in a person, you'd be: I'd be friendship because being a good friend is more important to me than anything else.
If you were a bad quality, you'd be: I think my worst quality is ignoring the bad in people, I always see the good though. This isn't really that bad but it could really get me in trouble.
If you were someone / something in Hogwarts you'd be: I would be a house elf because I would enjoy helping people, even if I didn't get in credit.
Why? oops, I already answered.
If you were anywhere on earth, you'd be: I would be New York because even though I've only been there twice it is my favorite place on earth.
If you were anyTHING on earth or in your life, you'd be: I would be myself, but not really as I am right now, I'd be a more honest and open person than I am now.
If you had to choose:
Assume all questions end with 'Why?'
The Order or the Death Eaters? Probably the Death Eaters, I don't really know why I just think that I would be more likely to do that than join the order.
Snape or Malfoy? Probably Snape because he has been walked on most of his life and I think I can realate to him more in that way than I can realate to spoiled little Malfoy.
Luna or Ginny? I don't really know, I like the quirks that Luna has but I like the self-confidance of Ginny.
Crucio or Avada Kedavra? Avada Kedavra because torturing people scares me.
Harry dying or Harry living in book 7? Harry dying, because of what I've said before.
Voldemort dead (Closed ending) or Voldemort not-quite-dead-but-people-think-he is (Open ending)?:
Voldemort dead, like I said in how I would end the series.
Any last words?
Spork, spasmodic, and salad.
Thank you for filling in this application! let the sorting begin!
