Hey, get back here! Nickie didn't get any candy!
Trick-or-treating was fun this afternoon. People in St. Peters really get into it! One guy had this awesome fake corpse full of spaghetti in his front yard. :P
I was a little batgirl for the occasion, and we did get a fairly good haul of candy each =] No, we are not too old to go trick-or-treating. You're never too old, kids.
The decorations that people had on their houses were fun, like the woman with the giant spider. But one of the night's highlights was definitely the Dancing Doorbell. =D
This one house had a doorbell that played a little tune whenever you rung it. I don't think anybody was home, though, and it's kinda a good thing there wasn't because we spent about fifteen minutes on their porch ringing their doorbell and dancing to it.
>_>
We're not weird at all.

I. The Books
Put the books in order from favourite to least favourite.
Not particularly accurate, I really don't know what my fave is but...
Half-Blood Prince, Order of the Phoenix, Prisoner of Azkaban, Deathly Hallows, Goblet of Fire, Philosophers Stone, Chamber of Secrets.
How many times have you read the series?
Far, far too many times.
Favourite chapter?
Oh god, I don't know! Uh... All the Pensieve scenes from HBP were awesome, the breaking in of Gringotts was pretty cool (DH), Career's Advice (OOTP) just because of Fred and George's epic escape, the Quidditch final in POA (I always loved Quidditch XD), and of course the Prince's Tale in DH.
What are your five favourite quotes from the books?
'Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but the fact remains that he can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to, so don't count on him being a long way away if you're planning on taking any risks.' -Fred, DH
Any quote from Luna Lovegood.
I can't be bothered fishing for quotes now, there are far too many. XD
Biggest surprise:
Snape killing (well, 'killing') Dumbledore was like O____o
Biggest Let-down:
Numerous deaths. Harry coming back to life was kinda gay.
One character you'd bring back to life:
Snape and Fred. And Sirius. AND LUPIN AND TONKS.. ;'(
Moment that will always make you cry:
Snape dying, Fred dying (I was so devastated and felt so sorry for George...=[), Sirius dying...why'd every good character have to die? ;'(
II. The Films
Put the films in order from favourite to least favourite:
5, 4, 2, 1, 3.
Actor most like the book character:
Snape, for sure.
Actor least like the book character:
Hmmm....Lupin, I think. Tonks should have been better in the movie, too.
Favourite film set:
Hmmm...Hogwarts in general. Hogsmede was cool too.
Favourite film scene:
Oh snap... Anything involving Sirius coz he was epic.
Favourite scene in the films not included in the books:
I'm gonna quote sinistrasnape on this one: 'Snape smacking them on the head in GOF and in OOTP xD'
Scene you were most disappointed didn't make it into the film:
There were so many! I WANTED TO SEE RON ATTACKED BY THE BRAINS!!
III. The Universe
Five Favourite Characters:
Twins, Snape, Sirius, Bellatrix, Luna.
Three Least Favourite Characters:
Fudge reminds me of Kevin Rudd, sorta. Peter Pettigrew bugged me. And...probably Ginny. Sorry, she just pisses me off...
Favourite member of the Trio:
Ron =]
Three Favourite magical creatures:
Hippogriffs, thestrals, and centaurs.
Favourite family:
The Blacks, for the win.

Favourite non-Hogwarts magical building:
Gringotts. 'Tis awesome. And, the Department of Mysteries. I wanna live there.
Favourite Diagon Alley location:
The wandmaker guy's shop...Ollivander? I'd love to just sit there and try out wands all day, to see their reactions. =D
Three Favourite Spells:
I'm so tempted to say the Unforgivable Curses. I just think they're epic.
Three Favourite Potions:
Veritaserum, Felix Felicis, and Polyjuice Potion.
Favourite Unforgivable Curse:
I think they're all pretty badass, but Imperio would be the most useful.
Favourite Department of Mysteries Room:
Prophecy room, of course, but I love the whole place.
Favourite kind of transportation:
Hippogriff. Or Dragon. XD

Twins.

If you had to resort the trio, so one had to go to each different House and none could remain in Gryffindor, who would go where and why?
Hermionie in Ravenclaw, of course. Ron in Hufflepuff, and Harry in Slytherin.
Which qualities do you see in Harry that are distinctly not Gryffindor ones?
Parseltongueness, of course.
Severus Snape - Innately good or innately evil? Self motivated or really Dumbledore's man?
Again, quoting sinistrasnape, coz she says it better than I ever could: 'None of those. I would say "human". He had a dark side and a light side. He was loyal to Dumbledore and Lily and he was self-motivated also.'
How do you feel about James Potter and the Marauders?
James was sorta an arrogant prick, but I still like him. Hate Pettigrew, love Sirius and Lupin.
