Oh, fine, I'll take it on too, though I originally came to say that I shouldn't have been surprised that Luna's movie avatar was accepted into the fandom with open arms. Though, they didn't get the whole conspiracy theorist down very well in her. I can't seem to remember Luna's schtick from the book, but it was very funny. Something about a werewolf. Anyways:
Put the books in order from favorite to least favorite: 3,1,6,2,4,5. Haven't read 7 yet and Emily, there's a lot of good stuff in #2, it's just the most different of the others and you have to realize that.
How many times have you read the series: Entire series? In total, only twice, but I've read several books several times.
Favorite chapter from your favorite book: 3rd to last of the 3rd book... or at least the one where Black is about to be vindicated.
5 Favorite Characters: Black, Lestrange, Buckbeak, Dumbledore (only as a teacher, not headmaster, he's too aloof then), Umbridge (one of the most well constructed characters I've seen for a while)
3 Least Favorite Characters: That reporter lady who can turn into a bug,
Favorite member of the Trio: Hermione
5 favorite quotes:... The books are not quotable. They're witty at times, but not quotable.
3 Favorite magical creatures: Dementors, Blast-ended Screwts, basically anything she invented.
2 least Favorite magical creatures: Centaurs and Goblins, hands-down
Favorite family: Malfoy, you never know when a relative will pop up.
Favorite villain: The basilisk.
Favorite death Eater: Malfoy
Favorite non-Hogwarts magical building: Does the Wizard's Bus count?
Favorite Diagon Alley location: Olivanders, if only because it plays up on one of her themes she has going on
3 Favorite Spells: Abra Kadabra
3 Favorite Potions: The final exam of the fifth or so book, where the students were desperately trying to remember how to produce a potion that does... oh, crap, I forget what it does. Why can't I remember what it does?
Favorite Unforgivable Curse: Crucio
Favorite Department of Mysteries Room: ? Who has a favorite room from the department of mysteries? I mean, come on! By all rights, she shouldn't have included it in there at all. But there we have it.
Biggest surprise: Ginny and Harry. It was almost as if she was nodding at the fandom.
Biggest letdown: Finding out that Dumbledore is in fact dead. After all the evidence pointed to him being alive, if he were in fact dead, then he died by a very strange variation of the Killing Curse.
Favorite kind of transportation: Portkey
Favorite Weasley:
Favorite Order member: Mcgonagal? I dunno
Favorite pet: Scabbers

Which character you'd like to use Veritaserum on:
How long have you been a HP fan: I've been reading since the second came out. I've tried to get my hands on the British versions ever since, since the American translation loses a lot of her wordplays (American translation of a British Book should just NEVER happen. Period. N E V E R .)
Favorite wizard rock band: HOBBSON'S CHOICE!
Number of midnight releases have you attended: 0
Favorite HP website:
Favorite LJ HP community:
Character you're most like: Snape, before the whole, 'Is he a Death Eater or is he a Phoenix man?' business.
House you think you'd be sorted into: I forget the qualities of each, but I think it'd be Ravenclaw or Slytherin, depending on which mood I'm feeling at the moment.
Your patronus would be a: Hawk, that symbol's protected me a couple of times.
Your boggart would be: Skull, or a pile of ash, or some such equal symbol of destruction.
To you, Amortentia would smell like: Essence of Love? I dunno. Napalm? Laughter?
You'd use Felix Felicis to: Find him. Not Him, or HIM. Just him.
What job would you most like to try: This seems unrelated.
Which would you rather see - a sequel or a prequel: This belongs in the next section... prequel
Put the movies in order from favorite to least favorite: 3,4,5,1,2 The last three in that list are equally disliked, simply because they were summaries and not attempts to play up a theme. However, 5 is the least disliked, and #3, I think is brilliant.
EITHER/OR
Floo powder or broom: Broom
Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans or Chocolate Frogs: Frogs
Death Eaters or Dumbledore's Army: Good, evil. What's the difference? Too much of one is never good. Ironic, maybe.
Fred or George: There's an 'or' involved there? I thought that they were an item. You know, the literary invention of the exactly identical Identical Twin.
CAPSLOCK HARRY or Emo!Harry: Boycotted on grounds of fanaticism and stupidity.
The Ministry of Magic or Gringotts: Gringotts, the tunnels were kinda cool, especially when they compete for space with the Underground.
Sirius or Lupin: Sirius
Occlumency or Legilimency: Magic of Obfuscation or the Magic of Law. Former, no doubt.
Animagus or Metamorphagus: Metamorphagus
Mermish or Parselmouth: Parselmouth, 'cause then I can communicate with the UPS guys. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Draco or Lucius: The actor in me wants to say Draco, but the plotter in me wants Lucius.
Peter Pettigrew or Mundungus Fletcher: Who was Fletcher?... Pettigrew
Whomping Willow or Flying Ford Anglia: Anglia, if only because it became a resident of the Forest.
Invisibility cloak or Pensieve: Cloak
Grimmauld Place or The Burrow: Gimmauld
Werewolf or Inferi: Unfair question, one is a neutral, if prujudiced, half-human, the other is a servant tied to a Dark Wizard and therefore, inherently evil. It would be like comparing apples to oranges.
Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures: Grubbly Plank, all the way man.
Professor Binns or Professor Umbridge: Umbridge... hehe. (<- that's a slightly evil laugh, by the way)
Yule Ball or Quidditch Championship:
Peeves or Nearly Headless Nick: Peeves
Hippogriff or Thestrals: Thestals
Durmstrang or Beaubaxtons: Durmstrang
S.P.E.W or the Inquisitorial Squad: NOBODY EXPECTS THE HOGWART'S INQUISITION! Our main weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear, Our TWO weapons are fear, surprise, and Malfoy. Our THREE weapons, are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatical devotion to Umbridge. Oh damn.
Three Broomsticks or The Leaky Cauldron: Cauldron.
