Harry Potter Challenge - Day 10
Pick your favourite Horcrux
I can't really say that any of them are my favourite
as they are ultimately one of the things keeping
Voldemort alive.
The one I find most interesting is Harry. He's the
horcrux Voldemort never meant to make. Its why
Harry can read Voldemort's thoughts, he can sense
the other horcruxes and hes a parselmouth.
There's so many reasons why I find Harry the most
interesting, but short of reading you all of the
books I don't think I can do them justice
in one blog post.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 9
Your least favourite male character and why?
Like all of my previous answers, I have a few characters
I don't particularly like. Mostly the sly, disloyal ones like
Lucius and Draco Malfoy and Wormtail.
Obviously, I don't like Voldemort. But, like Emi said,
without him there would not a story.
In the Deathly Hallows, Griphook is my least
favourite character. He's uses underhand methods
for his own gain, with no consideration of the situation
he has left Harry, Ron and Hermione in.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 8
What do you think your favourite subject at
Hogwarts would be?
I think it would be transfiguration or charms.
They would be the most useful. But I would
also love to play quidditch!
Muggle school just doesn't cut the mustard.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 7
Your favourite female character and why?
Its a no brainer isn't it really? It's got to be Hermione.
She's every bit as equal in brains, bravery and guts
as the two boys. She's a new form of 'heroine'. She's
not content with playing the traditional role of
standing by while the boys do the work. She's
what every young girl should aspire to be like,
intelligent, loyal, brave and kind.
Emma Watson was perfectly cast in this role,
she perfectly embodies Hermione!
She was so much like myself.
I mean, I was seriously, seriously nerdy.
And I was very—kind of insecure like she was.
I was quite a tomboy.
I wasn’t super popular or anything so I basically was her,
to be fair.
I used to sit there in interviews and be like, “I’m not like
her at all.” And try to convince everyone that I wasn’t.
I was absolutely adamant.
I’ve just accepted it now.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 6
What house would you want to be in
and which house do you think you would get?
Now, I was a total Harry Potter nerd about this question
and went and got myself sorted... (here).
I've always liked to think I was in Gryffindor, well for
obvious reasons. But, always thought I'd be in
one of the others.
Then off I went to get sorted, and it turned out I
was destined for Gryffindor after all! Yay!!
I'm
a Gryffindor!

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 5
Your Favourite Male Character and Why?
Now do I say Harry, which is the obvious choice?
Or Dumbledore, or Sirius or Ron? For them simply
to be my favourite is hard, for example I admire
Ron for his loyalty and honesty, but I don't think
he's my most favourite character.
I cant answer this question with one definitive
character, its too hard and there's too many
character's that I would consider to be my
'favourite'.
So because of this, I'm going to say Lupin is
one of my most favourites. He teaches Harry
so much about himself as well as magic.
He also tells Harry so much about his,
parents and for a while is the closest thing
Harry has to a father figure.
And ultimately gives his life for Harry's, like
Sirius and James did before him.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 4
Your least favourite female character and why?
There are a few characters that I don't particularly like.
My first thought was Bellatrix, but she is so deliciously
evil that I have a love / hate relationship with.
I then remembered Umbridge, and her, essentially,
ethnic cleansing of Hogwarts.
Yet its hard to completely hate Umbridge. She does
what she does, not out of pure evil, but in a genuine
belief that she is doing the right thing.
Also, I don't like her laugh. Or her cardigans.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 3
Which (if any) of the films annoyed you the most, because
they missed important parts of the book?
I think most people have answered with this and its the Goblet
of fire. Its one of my favourite books, but the film definitely
annoys me. The pacing is too slow and you don't feel the depth
of emotion you do in the book, due to the lack of plot development.
There are huge parts of the plot line that are simply missed out,
and so much character development! I feel all of the Barty
Crouch thread was not properly explained in the film,
and you only maintained your understanding of the film if you
had read the book.
I also think Fleur and the other champions don't play enough
prominence for their roles later in the series.
Snape's involvement also wasn't in enough depth.

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 2
Your favourite of the 6 and a half films so far?
Another tough question. But, I think its got to be the
philosophers stone. Its where the magic began and is
always the first harry potter dvd I reach for.
I simply love seeing Harry's life before the world
of Hogwarts and Voldemort. Harry is treated little
better than a servant in his uncles home and he over
comes them, in the same way he goes on to conquer
everything else, without pomp and circumstance.
I love the humility in Harry's character.
And of course the words that every Potter fan
secretly still longs to hear; "You're a wizard Harry..."

Harry Potter Challenge - Day 1
Your favourite of the 7 books
This is a hard one, I love all of the books. I love them all in
different ways. But, if I had to choose one, it would be the
deathly hallows.
It shows all of the characters in their true
lights, you can make a final judgement on the characters
after thinking you knew everything about them. Characters
also come into their own, Neville especially.
I could wang on about this forever so I'll close with this; the
deathly hallows perfectly brings together the series. All of
the tiny little details you thought insignificant in the earlier
books turn out to be a major piece of the plot. I don't feel like
I can do this question justice within a blog post, so I'll leave it
here. For now...
