oh my!
I hope I can actually keep this one going, but I find all the questions terribly fun, so it should be ok :D
30 Day Harry Potter Challenge:
Question 1: What is your favourite book?
WELL!
Apparently everyone says Deathly Hallows or Half Blood Prince and I'm pretty sure I'll be in the minority here, but I like Order of the Phoenix the best.
I know, I know that Harry is either CAPSLOCKRAGE!Harry or noonehaseverfeltmypainemoangst!Harry and as such is so bloody annoying that I want to scream but I just love it o much!
I love the plot, I love the action, I love Umbridge (she's just so...beautifully evil! I love how JKR has given us such a truly evil and hateful character that ISN'T a Death Eater). I love the awkward romance between Harry and Cho (even if she is a whiney bint).
It has some of my favourite scenes in the entire series ;
- Dumbledore's infamous and endlessly awesome exit from Hogwarts - "Well, it's just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to - what is the phrase? - come quietly." Phineas Nigellus might be a pompuos arse, but he is correct in saying that Dumbledore has style!
- This scene always cracks me up no matter how many times I read it. McGoogles is full of win!
"I should have made my meaning plainer," said Professor McGonagall, turning at last to look at Umbridge directly in the eyes. "He has achieved high marks in all Defense Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher."
And I love love LOVE her shouting match with Umbridge after that - POTTER WILL BECOME AUROR IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO or whatever she says...GOLD.
Of course, it does have the very sad sad sad scene of Sirius' death. I always cry in that scene and not because of the fact that Sirius is dead (though my heart does go out to him...he hasn't had a great life, has he?) but for poor Harry, who just lost the only father figure he really had.
So all in all, OotP is definitely my favourite book of the series :)
