(no subject)
I really need to re-read the Harry Potter books. Must check if Pdine library has them so I don't have to drag all mine down.
In the meantime, have a meme. And many thanks to the HP Lexicon.
List the books in order from your favorite to your least favorite.
1. Chamber of Secrets
2. Sorcerer's Stone
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Deathly Hallows
5. Order of the Phoenix
6. Goblet of Fire
7. Half Blood Prince
Again, books I haven't read in a really long time, so it's somewhat relative... but HBP definitely gets the last spot because of Harry/Ginny and Remus/Tonks. boo. Also it's the one that I remember the least of except for, you know, the ending. So yeah. It's last.
List the movies in order from your favorite to your least favorite.
1. Half-Blood Prince
2. Prisoner of Azkaban (minus the soundtrack, which drove me batty)
3. Order of the Phoenix
4. Sorcerer's Stone
5. Goblet of Fire
6. Chamber of Secrets
The Chamber of Secrets movie made me sad since it's my favorite book. The acting hurt.
Favorite chapter from your favorite book?
...er...
Top 5 favorite characters?
1. Remus, Sirius, James (mostly because MWPP-era is about 99% of the fic I read)
2. Ron and Hermione
3. Minerva McGonagall!
4. The Weasleys, except for Ginny
5. Hagrid, I suppose.
Harry kind of goes without saying, you know.
Five least favorite characters?
1. Ginny... she always bugged me, and then when Harry got gaga-eyed over her it annoyed the hell out of me. One of Rowling's few infuriating cliches. Bah.
2. Rita Skeeter
3. Draco
4. Peter Pettigrew
5. Umbridge, because dear god.
Favorite member of the Golden Trio?
Well, Harry, but after him Ron.
Favorite family?
The Weasleys! Except Ginny.
Favorite antagonist?
Oo. I think I have to go with Snape, because he's such a bastard, and hello Alan Rickman...
Favorite Death Eater?
Barty Crouch Jr. Hee.
What character are you most like?
Oh, Hermione, definitely.
Three favorite spells?
1. Accio
2. The Cheering Charm
3. Expecto Patronum
Three favorite potions?
1. Felix Felicis
2. Draught of Peace
3. Pepperup Potion
Favorite Non-Hogwarts magical building?
The Burrow!
Favorite Diagon Alley shop?
Flourish & Blotts :D
Favorite Hogsmeade Shop?
Three Broomsticks
Favorite Unforgivable Curse?
Imperio
Favorite mode of wizard transportation?
Broom, oh yes
Favorite Weasley?
Ron... Ron... Ron WEAsley!
Favorite Order Member?
Remus. Followed by Kibibble Shackalack, aka Kingsley Shacklebolt.
Favorite DA Member?
Neville. Aw.
Favorite pet?
Crookshanks. Hell yes.
Favorite Hogwarts room?
The Gryffindor common room
Favorite Hogwarts Professor?
MCGOOGLES. And Remus.
Favorite non-human Hogwarts resident?
Ummm... do ghosts count? If so, then Nearly-Headless Nick. If not... then Nearly-Headless Nick anyway. Bwah.
Favorite Tri-Wizard Champion?
Harry, because Cedric and Fleur are annoying, and Krum is hairy.
Favorite House-Elf?
Though they're all annoying as heck, I have to say Dobby.
Favorite Wizard sweet?
Chocolate Frogs. Trader Joe's made some Belgian chocolate frogs a few years back, that had crispy stuff that popped in your mouth, and dear god were they delicious. I think the real Wizarding thing would be even better. Mmmm.

Remus and Sirius. ;) Lily and James. And Ron and Hermione.
General Opinions:
Biggest surprise of the series?
Hell's bells, I don't remember... Dumbledore dying, I think. That was one hell of a shock.
Biggest letdown of the series?
The epilogue. *rolls eyes* And Remus/Tonks, and Harry/Ginny. Bleh.
One character you wish lived?
Remus, and Sirius. They deserved some happiness after all that pain. *sniffle*
Moment that will always make you cry?
"I am about to die." I bawled at that point. Sirius' death, too.
Your Patronus would be___?
Kitty! Some big badass one, though, not like Umbitch's cat.
Three things Amortentia would smell like to you.
That cologne I got Matt as a graduation gift, the ocean, and my favorite shower gel.
You would use Felix Felicis to___?
Get through my novel class without slaughtering my professor?
Job you would most like to try?
Professoring at Hogwarts. Awwwesome.
Ron/Hermione or Harry/Hermione?
Ron/Hermione, of course. They're clearly meant for each other. Harry/Hermione are BFFs, but never ever romanticky.
James/Lily or Snape/Lily?
James/Lily, because I love him growing up into the kind of person that a girl like her could love. And because Snape's a git.
Are you going to go see Half-Blood Prince in theaters?
Midnight showing, woo.
Do you own the books/movies?
Books yes, movies no.
Have you ever played any of the video games?
Bzuh?
Do you think it would be cool to have a pet owl?
My cat would probably be upset with me...
How about a rat?
See above. Also, ew.
Have you ever listened to the soundtracks?
Do recall who you're talking to. ;) I've listened to all of them, though the 6th is my favorite because it sounds delightfully Hans-y. The third one annoyed me. And, of course, Hedwig's Theme is amazing.
Which house would you want to be in?
I would want to be in Gryffindor, though I'd definitely be in Ravenclaw. Heh.
Do you like Draco?
No. Ass.
Would you ever enter the Triwizard Tournament?
I want to keep my life and my sanity, thank you.
What class would be your favorite?
Charms and Transfiguration, and possible DADA. Fun stuff.
Do you think you would enjoy being a witch/wizard?
Oh, yes. ♥
Really must read these books again...
