Elaina's Questions:
1. How would you put a real, functional Time Turner to use if you had one?
Well it depends wether the time turner only would be able to take me back in time, or if I could also go forward. If the later is possible, I'd go back in time to meet my deceased grandfathers and grandmother. My mum's dad I've never met and it be nice to do, and the other two I misses really much and it would be better than anything to speak with them again.
However, personally I've always thought the turners could only take you back, and then you had to relive all the time just like we see in the books. So in that case I couldn't go to far back... so I don't know what I'd use it for in that case.
2. Why were you first attracted to the Harry Potter books, and is that any different than why you like them now?
My first HP book was Chaimber of Secrets (Why oh why do I never read book series in the right order) which I got as a Christmas present from my Grandma. At first I thought the book looked really dull and boring, not too mention I had never ever read such a HUGE book before that, so I wasn't at all happy about it to begin with. However a gift is a gift and I started to read the bloody book... and after one chapter I was hooked, and since then I've been a total bookworm. No idea what made me feel so attracted to it though. I've always liked adventures and Harry Potter is such a great adventure when you're nine. I can't put my finger on it, it's too long ago.
3. What was your favorite gift at Christmastime?
Hard one, but I think Feast for Crows wins. I have been waiting for that book. I wanted to wait until the book was translated into Swedish, but it has been what five years?, since it came out and yet they havent even started :( so I grew tired and decided it was not worth waiting any longer. It was awsome, although I'd already been spoiled pretty bad about it.
4. Do you have a book that is like an old friend to you, that you always enjoy and/or makes you cry because it is just so sad and so good?
I have two:
Harry Potter, especially GoF, is the book I always pick out when I'm feeling bored. There's always possible to find a passage to make me laugh when I need that, feel cheerful when that is needed and sad when that is needed. Many of these books have been been with me for longer than majority of my friends and I can always trust them to be as good as always.
Brother Lionheart, is just like an old childhood friend, who you might have grown apart from but you always enjoy to meet and catch up with anyway. The book is just so stuffed with childhood memories, and it's the book I've reread the most times ever. Not to mention the end is so sad.
5. What is Wilhelm like, in appearance and mannerisms? (that's the right name, I hope. You know who I mean)
I know who you mean and yes the name is correct ;)
Well he has red hair which kind of look like gold when the sun shines at it. He has this kind of really cute and innocent look.
He's really shy and polite when you first meet him, but he's really smart and nice and talkes a lot when you actually get to know him. He reminds me very much of Neville Longbottom both in looks and manners, if Neville had red hair that is.
Somehow I manedged to get HP into four of my answers.
