While I was browsing through ‘What Lauren Did Today’s’ lovely blog, I came across this tag and knew I had
to give it a go! As you know I recently visited the Harry Potter Studio Tour
and am now even more obsessed with Harry Potter than I was before! So, onto the
tag…
1. What is
your favourite book?
I would probably have to choose the first book, just
because it was the beginning of such an amazing world and I can still remember
reading it for the first time. I love how it transported me into a whole new
world of magic and excitement, and no matter how many times I read it I still
can’t get enough of it.
2. What is
your favourite film?
I like the Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2. I found
that as the films progressed they got darker as they went along, and I love how
dark the last films are. I like the fact that there is excitement and mystery
at every turn, but also like the fact that we are finally starting to get some
answers and battle between Harry and Voldemort. As much as I like Dumbledore, I
think it’s also sort of good not having him there, because it makes Harry come
out of his shell a bit more and he thinks more for himself.
3. What is
your least favourite book?
I don’t think I really have one to be honest.
Although The Prisoner of Azkaban is probably the most forgettable, so I guess
I’d have to choose that one. With all the other books I seem to really remember
a lot from them, but for some reason this one doesn’t make such an impact on
me.
4. What is
your least favourite film?
Again, I’d have to say The Prisoner of Azkaban, just
because not a lot seems to happen in the film and like the book I find it
pretty forgettable compared to all the other films. I always find it hard to
watch the first film now, just because special effects have progressed so much
since then, but in a way it’s quite nostalgic seeing them all so young!
5. What parts
of the books/films made you cry?
Definitely when Dobby died, although I didn’t really
cry reading it, more so when I watched the film in the cinema. Slightly
embarrassing when I’m blubbing away in the cinema surrounded by children who
look as happy as larry!
6. If you
could hook up with any character who would it be?
I always thought that Viktor Crum was quite good
looking, but I’m not sure there would be much communication between us, so
perhaps that’s not the best person to choose! I guess it would be something to
tell the Grandchildren if I hooked up with Harry!
7. Who is
your favourite character?
I’d have to pick Luna – I just love how delicate and
pretty she is. When the rest of the characters are surrounded by dark
happenings, I think she’s a pocket of light relief in a dream-like way. I get
the impression she would never be nasty to anyone and I like the fact that she
sees the good in everyone.
8. Who is
your least favourite character?
Umbridge really infuriates me, especially when she
makes Harry write lines and they carve into his skin as he writes. I just think
she’s a horrible person who is too proud and arrogant to admit that she’s
wrong.
9. What is
your least favourite line?
I really don’t know the books well enough to pick
out one line that I don’t like! I do have a favourite line though, which is
‘Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to
turn on the light.’
10.
What would your Patronus be?
I’d like to say it would be something magnificent
like a stag or a lion, but in reality I think it would be something like a cat,
as I’m such a crazy cat lady! Saying that though, a cat would be nimble and
quick, so hopefully good at protecting me.
11.
If you could have the resurrection stone,
invisibility cloak or elder wand which would you choose?
The Invisibility Cloak would be amazing – can you
imagine how much fun you could have being invisible?! The Elder Wand would
cause too much trouble with others wanting to duel with me for it, and the
Resurrection Stone brought the three brothers way too many problems.
12.
Which house would you be in?
I’ve always liked the idea of being in Hufflepuff,
possibly because I like the way the word sounds! But Gryffindor would also be
good fun, as that seems to be where all the great people go!
13.
If you could meet any member of the cast who would
it be?
I’d love to meet Emma Watson – she’s a fantastic
actress and very beautiful. I think she would be really interesting to chat to
and I’d definitely ask her for some fashion and make-up tips.
14.
If you were on the Quidditch team which position
would you play?
Well, for a start I don’t think I would be selected
to be on the team because I’m terrible at sport! It would be quite fun being
the Seeker though and not having to worry about hitting various heavy balls or
the prospect of having to guard a goal.
15.
Were you happy with the ending?
It was quite satisfying to see the end of Voldemort,
but I don’t like the fact it was so final. There seems to be very little chance
of there ever being any more books, which is probably a good thing going out on
a high, but I’m ever hopeful something else might happen!
16.
How much does Harry Potter mean to you?
A hell of a lot – my childhood books were the Harry
Potter series. I remember people queuing the night before a new book came out,
and then my friends and I would see who could read the book the quickest. We’d
then spend months analysing the plot and talking about what we think will
happen next. Then, when the films started coming out it was those that we
queued up at the cinema to see. I will look back on my childhood fondly because
of Harry Potter.
Are you a Harry Potter fan? I tag you
to do this blog tag – I can’t wait to hear your answers!
Such a sweet tag, I love Luna too! ox
