HP 30 Day, Day 19: Do you prefer the books or...
The books. I’m not trying to be a book snob or anything, I just like them more. Some people probably like the movies more, and fine by them.
I read the books first, and I enjoy the extra detail and subtext and story that the books provide. I also like the “pick it up for 5 minutes and then come back to it tomorrow if I need” that books give; it would be more than odd to watch a movie this way.

HP 30 Day, Day 18: Least Favorite Book?
It really depends. I don’t really have a least favorite book. Sometimes during my re-reads I get stuck between certain books because I just really don’t want to read them right then, A few years ago I was stuck on #3; I just DIDN’T want to start it for whatever reason. Then, last year, I read them all without getting hung up on any certain one. Now this year, I’m stuck on #2. I just don’t want to...

HP 30 Day, Day 17: Are you excited about The...
First one, not so bad. It was one of the first times I didn’t come out of a Harry Potter movie complaining. From what I have seen of the preview for the second part, it looks like there are several things that don’t follow the book, but I also understand that they did well over half of the book in the first movie, and there is like less than 48 hours of book time left to over in one movie, so they...
HP 30 Day, Day 16: Favorite Professor?
McGonagall. Hands down. I had a teacher like her once, strict, dry wit constantly, and kind when it called for it. He was my favorite and most helpful teacher of all time, so I’m guessing the same could be said for her. Plus, again, she’s a badass. Epic tales of wonder should be constructed full of the deeds of Minerva McGonagall.
ihearthpforever asked: Hey.. seen you said there wasn't any pictures of the weasleys and lee jordan on the internet, well I made an attempt to edit one of lee into a twin photo. I've made two, they are not exactly perfect but still its a start lol I will upload them onto my Tumblr Page :)

HP 30 Day, Day 15: Who would be your best friends...
Supposed to be Fred, George and Lee. There are no pictures of the actors together on Google so this will have to suffice. We would be BFF’s frealz.

HP 30 Day, Day 14: Team Voldemort or Team Harry?
What? Team Harry, of course.
I mean, Voldemort didn’t know his parents and basically went crazy; Harry didn’t know his parents and was a kind and loving person. He didn’t even want to kill anyone that wanted to kill him. He wanted to kill Bellatrix for killing Sirius and he wanted to kill Snape for killing Dumbledore.
Point is, they were both in bad situations and Harry handled it infinitely...

HP 30 Day, Day 13: Least favorite movie?
Didn’t I cover this already? Alright, well, it’s movie 6.
There’s just so much about it not to like, I guess. The first time I watched it at the midnight showing and I went with a friend who was just starting to get into Harry Potter & had only read books 1-5. She didn’t want to miss the midnight showing though, so she came with. Once the movie was over, I turned to her and said, “Well,...

HP 30 Day, Day 12: Favorite Ship?
This is a toughie (also, am I the only one who is fascinated by words and how they are spelled? Like, look at the word toughie. REALLY look at it. It’s a bit strange, isn’t it?) The two main ships that I was REALLY adamant about, Harry/Ginny & Ron/Hermione, ended up being canon. But I think my favorite ship is Bill/Fleur.
Google Images didn’t give me any good, non giant pictures of...

HP 30 Day, Day 11: What character would you say...
No, seriously, what’s with all these Weasleys on my Harry Potter 30 day?
Anyway, I actually think that I am most like a mixture of Ron and Hermione. I feel a bit like a sidekick to the people that I know which describes how Ron, and possibly Hermione feel. I’m also, or at least used to be, the one seen as the ‘smart’ one in the group who has all the answers, or if you have a question about when...

HP 30 Day, Day 10: Horcruxes or Hallows?
Hallows, obviously. Well, maybe not so obviously. I mean the Hallows can be bad as well if you boast about them, or use them inappropriately, but you need to kill someone to make a horcrux… And I don’t really feel like killing anyone right now, y’know? Plus even if I did make them, they still sound horrible. If my body gets destroyed my sprit still lives on as this listless thing, and there is...

HP 30 Day, Day 9: Least favorite male character?
Why is it always Weasleys with this? But the answer is Percy Weasley. He’s just a dick, isn’t he? When we first meet him he is a stuck up jerk, but tolerable. Then in book 5, he just turns into a straight up dick. And what happens when everyone finds out that Harry and Dumbledor were right? OH YEAH, HE CONTINUES TO BE AN ASSHOLE UNTIL THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND. Was that supposed to be a touching...

HP 30 Day, Day 8: What do you think would be your...
I think it would be Potions. I have always been good at my math and science classes where the measuring and calculations need to be precise. I think those skills would transfer well to potions.

Alright, here’s my rant:
I’m tired of people who are just so anti-Obama that the posts they make just start to make no sense. One of the statuses on my facebook feed last night was
“I can see your eyes moving, Mr. President. Nice reading from the teleprompter.”
Does this make any sense? No. EVERY politician in this day and age, where single sentence clips can be played...

HP 30 Day, Day 7: Favorite female character and...
This is hard, because just like with the male characters, there are so many choices! But I think I am going to have to go with another Weasley.
It’s for the same reason Pansy was my least favorite; Character development! When we first really meet Ginny in book 2, she’s basically a bumbling idiot whenever we see her. Then she’s always there after that, but on the edge where we don’t really see...

Calm your shit
Yeah, he is ‘late’ for his speech.
GET OVER IT.
It’s a VERY delicate matter, and any faux pas said in his speech would be disastrous.
So just hold your horses

HP 30 Day, Day 6: What house would you want to be...
I personally feel like I would be in Gryffindor, but I feel like everyone, or at least an overabundance of people, say that. Every test I’ve taken has given me either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Whenever my friends and I are discussing what house we think we would be in, I am always told Gryffindor. I don’t think I have the brains or the work ethic for a Ravenclaw – Maybe if I try REALLY HARD, but...
