• What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why? OK, well I think it would have to be a teacher at Hogwarts (I wont say what subject Id like to teach as its the next question!). Hogwarts is the 'centre' of the wizarding world, its where you learn to be a wizard/witch. From what Ive read in the books it sounds like such a 'homely' place if you know what I mean, I can just imagine it at Christmas with the snow across the grounds and the roaring fire in the "which ever house im sorted in' common room. I dont think Id ever want to leave! I think being a teacher at Hogwarts would let me teach a subject I feel quite passionately for and meet and build relationships with students. Seriously though, could you think of a more beautiful location than Hogwarts to work in? I certainly cant!
  
  
• If you could teach one class at Hogwarts, what would it be and why? It would, without a doubt, have to be Defence Against The Dark Arts. I know the job is supposedly cursed but I feel quite strongly that young witches and wizards who may be growing up under a range of, both good and bad, influences should be taught what is right and what is wrong. There is a lot of evil in the world and we dont want to reach the point where the evil outweighs the good. The whole idea of 'good and evil' fascinates me. Also, defence against the dark arts allows me to actually practise magic whereas other subjects lean more towards the theoretical side of magic which I find a tad boring!
  
  
• This year, The TriWizard Tournament is being held once again and you're of age. Do you put your name in the Goblet? Why or why not? Hmmm, thats difficult. I think I probably would, the Triwizard Tournament allows you to prove yourself superior to those around you and I think that I work quite well alone. I like competition although it can reach a point where it goes too far, when something as big as the Tri Wizard tournament comes along I think you just have to enter. If you didnt you would always wonder, when you see the winner holding up the cup, what if Id entered...?
  
  
• If you could choose your animagus form, what would it be and why? A wolf! They are my favourite animals. A wolf is a creature that can move with stealth, defend itself when in danger, provide a friend with security and they really are beautiful creatures!
  
  
• If you could be written into any HP Series book as a new character, which book would it be, and who would your character be? Why did you choose that book/character? I think I would be Sirius from book three, he is a person who was seriously misunderstood when all he was trying to do was the right thing. He sticks by his friends and lives his life to the full, he fights to the very end and never lets his friends down. (Im not sure Ive answered that question right!! If I havent I apologize!)
  
  
• What is your favorite magical spell/charm? Why? It would have to be 'expelliarmus' as it is a spell that defends you and allows you to gain power over your enemy without actually seriously hurting them. It gives you a chance to reason with your enemy or, if they are pure evil, just kill them!
  
  
• Name three reasons why you would like to be sorted into each House. OK I dont really get that question...sorry! Are you asking me to give three reasons why I wanted to be sorted into gryffindor, slytherin, ravenclaw and hufflepuff? Excuse my stupidness but im confused!!
  
  
• You've received your O.W.L results. What are your results? (You have to have failed or done poorly in at least one subject) I work hard so hopefully Ive done well! I never assume Ive got good grades until results day, thats just tempting fate. I think Ive done well in Defense against the dark arts, transfiguration and charms. Also potions as (in the real world) I am very good at (and enjoy) chemistry! I probably havent done very well in divinitation as Im quite rational and dont go in for all that 'reading tea leaves' crap. I hope Ive done well in care of magical creatures as I love animals and enjoy subjects that embody a practical approach.
  
  
• If you could have any superpower - but only ONE - what would it be? To be able to fly...I know you can do that in the wizarding world with a broomstick but I would LOVE to be able to fly all by myself, that would be amazing.
  
  
• What HP character do you identify with most and why? I think probably Harry, hes quite a balanced person and knows what is important in life. He fights adamantly for what he believes in (which is something I feel quite strongly about) and always sticks up for his friends. Like everyone he has his faults and is not perfect at everything yet he never forgets that the most important thing in his life is his friends and others close to him.
  
  
• What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised? I would see myself standing next to my one true love, we would both have big smiles on our faces! I would see peace, I dont know how peace can be shown in a physical form but I would definitely see it! I would see me standing right at the front of a huge green day gig (moving slightly away from the magical world here!) and I would see all my close friends and family looking happy and at ease.
  
  
• If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it? I would buy myself a pair of really good skis and a really good pair of ski boots! I would then spend the whole of the ski season skiing. I would invest in my future and make sure my mum has enough money for when she retires.
  
  
• Which HP book is your favorite and why? Ooooo thats hard! Probably 'Half Blood Prince' Im not sure I can explain why though...I think as the HP series goes on the book gets better because JK Rowling is building on stuff thats happened before. The amount of detail and depth in HPB is amazing and we see how Harry, Ron and Hermione have changed and how theire friendships have grown. We are given examples of the extremes of good and evil and shown (when Snape kills dumbledore) that you have to be so careful who you trust. HPB is the only HP book that has made me cry, it was possibly the most humorous as well although it was a shame that Sirius wasnt in it.
  
  
• Which HP book is your least favorite and why? I love them all! But probably 'the chamber of secrets' it was very very good but it didnt really affect me as much as the others did. The first one was where it all started and introduced everything to me so I cant really say it.
  
  
• What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now? When I was younger I dont think I knew what the hell I wanted to do. Quite recently Ive realised that I want to be a Doctor, it is a profession that allows one to combine an application of scientific knowledge and talk to different people everyday. I enjoy science and I enjoy meeting new people so I think it would be the perfect career for me. Of course I may change my mind but for now that is my aim!
  
  
• If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it, and what would you call it? I would invent a spell that when conjured stops time! This would allow me to worm my way out of awkward situations and would mean I would never ever be late again! There are hundreds of things I could do but I cant think of them all right now. I understand that time should not be meddled with and would be very careful when using this spell.The spell would be called 'PAUSTOPERA' (I know thats a bit naff but I cant think of anything else)
  
  
• If you were to face a boggart, what would it turn into? And what does it turn into when you throw the counter-spell, Riddikulus? My boggart would be a man dressed  in black with a plain white mask covering his face, he would carry a knife and would have the key to my house on a string around his neck. When I throw the counter spell the knife he holds would suddenly have a life of its own and would cut through the black clothes he wears...underneath would be a snake that has managed to tie itself in a knot.
  
  
• What do you look for in a friend? I look for individuality...simple as that. Everyone is different. Of course there are obvious things such as trustworthy and kindness however I try not to be too specific when looking for friends.
  
  
• What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? I would like to do well in my A levels  and then go to medical school and become a successful doctor.
  
  
• What trait most annoys you about other people? arrogance, fakeness (i hate it when people feel they have to make things up to impress others...YUCK!) erm...people who are judge you on looks and opinions. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!! Oh and people who are not honest and trustowrthy.
  
  
• What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?

  2 - I am intelligent and use this to the best of my ability
  
  3 - I never give up
  
  4 - I am optimistic (most of the time)
  
  5 - I have a good sense of humour and make people laugh
  
  
• What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?
  
  1 - I bitch about people, but then I am a girl. Every girl will bitch about somebody at least once in their life, those that say they dont are liars
  
  2 - I can be very lazy at times
  
  3 - I often put my foot in it
  
  4 - I swear more than is necessary
  
  5 - I sometimes go crazy and worry about small, insignificant things that have no importance

  • Courage: when a person can stand up for themselves, their friends and what they believe in. they are not afraid to do the right thing

• What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.)  Probably hufflepuff, erm Im not really sure why! Im not really like any of the people in Hufflepuff in the books...but I may be wrong!
