*Family Life: two great parents and a good (though sometimes annoying) 17 year old brother

*Personality: enthusiastic and passionate, though generally on the quiet side til I get to know people

*Words (or small phrases) friends have used to describe you: passionate, obsessive (when it comes to Harry Potter, lol), intelligent, dorky

*Words (or small phrases) you have used to describe you: much the same as above

*Favourite HP book: Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows

*Favourite HP character(s) - Canon and Fanon: Hermione, Neville, Luna, Ron

*Favourite HP line: "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, but above all, those who live without love."

*Watching/Avoiding the HP movies? I like them. Not as great as the books, of course, but I don't know how they could do much better.

*How about HP merchandise? Tons. And I'm hoping to get more! Currently I'm looking for Ravenclaw stuff... I mostly have Gryffindor, since I was Hermione for halloween one year, but I consider myself more of a Ravenclaw.

hello, wow i just had to read frankenstien too!

[TheSilverDoe]

I read it two years ago, in high school, but now I have to read it again for my Study of Literature class. It's okay though, I actually kinda like it.

Though I probably won't like all the papers I have to write on it...

[Goldenbear]

Is there a shop as coooolllll as whimsic alley where you live?;)

[TheSilverDoe]

Unfortunately not :-(

I love their website and order lots of stuff from it, but just looking at the pictures online... I would love to go there someday, I couldn't even imagine!

[Goldenbear]

Yes, the shop is WAY COOLLLL!! and so much fun...in August, they hosted a Wizard Rock concert with Hermione and the Crookshanks Experience, the Parcelmouths, the Whomping Willows, and the Remus Lupins....it was awesome and so many Prophecy friends attended...

cool cool cool place...I think they might post pics...;)

[TheSilverDoe]

As a matter of fact I did see pictures of the shop online. It looks amazing! I'm so jealous. Someday I'm going to have to make a trip out to California.

Hello, fellow Ravenclaw! Yes, I'm still looking for roommates! Do you have a room yet? I have yet to book mine, but will once I'm sure I'll have some roomies! You can contact me here or at MySpace: myspace.com/sunnychristian

Cheers!

[TheSilverDoe]

I have yet to make any official plans for roommates, so yes I'm still looking! Let me know your plans and if you find any others. :-)

Have you noticed that alot of the Ravenclaw stuff has a raven on it. Our mascot is an eagle. lol.

I know! And I don't like how the movies changed the Ravenclaw colors to blue and silver. That just makes it more difficult to buy stuff, because I'd rather be accurate to the books.

[Lynnn]

the only good thing in my school colors are bule and gold so I wore my hp scarf to a pep-rally and looked spirtish.

[Goldenbear]

Yes, that is very funny...and some of the colors are way off...but, more and more stuff is becoming authentic...

;)

[TheSilverDoe]

You know, now that I think about it, my high school colors were also blue and gold. Pretty close to Ravenclaw colors ;-)
