WOAH this is not something I expected to see! Very genuinely happy you enjoyed the book, though.
I've read the books as an adult again and was surprised that the writing held up for the most part, though being an adult and on the internet very good criticisms have come up of certain elements of the book.
You're spot on about Hermione in the 1st book, but she's a surprising character. You'll see how off the hook smart she is and other stuff I won't spoil (further).
So...
WHAT HOUSE DO YOU THINK YOU'D BE IN? DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUR WAND WOULD LOOK LIKE? OF COURSE YOU'D HAVE A BLACK CAT AT SCHOOL BUT OWLS ARE RAD TOO
LOL INORITE. Well... I mean... I'd said before that I was hesitant to get into them because so many people I adore (cough cough) were into them and what if I read it and didn't feel the same way, what does that say about me as a person (and other normal thoughts), but my need for escapist fare and my curiosity won the fuck out

Can't say about others, but I wouldn't be offended by you not liking something I liked. IT'S OUR DIFFERENCES THAT UNITE US, MAN *takes a huff*
I have been wondering what Wiccan aspects J.K. Rowling used in making the world, and I'm hoping you don't run into anything completely and totally misused. Picture of your wand please (HEH).
I took several quizzes and apparently I'm either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor (I'm leaning towards Hufflepuff because anything that tells you you belong with the main characters I'm skeptical).My guilty please during Pottermore's debut was reading and seeing videos of people freaking the fuck out that they weren't sorted into Gryffindor, Harry's house obviously, or just not sorted into the House they wanted and pretty much dismissing Pottermore altogether because of it. It's a terrible past time for a terrible human being like me

NEVER BE SORRY FOR WRITING AN ESSAY!alivemagdoleneMarch 9 2015, 08:19:24 UTC
Nor I, you, which is what ultimately made me pull my head out of my ass. I mean, I have stuff that means shitloads to me that I know is not for everybody (one of my "feel-good" movies involves actual shit-eating, after all, but I still maintain that's one of the less appalling of the appalling things in Pink Flamingos).
I have to say, I was extremely relieved so far (one book and half of the second) in, that the magic is generally highly fictionalized and not Pagan/real Witchcraft (although just for shits and giggles, my Witches' Datebook marks the day that the first movie opened, as well as the premier of BeWitched). which is one of the reasons this series threw me (although I still mostly enjoyed it
