Ultimate Harry Potter Tag

7/9/2015

4 Comments

 
Okay, I'm not usually much of a tag person, but this one is Harry Potter!! I stole it from You, Me, and a Cup of Tea, who stole it from someone else, who stole it from someone else. . . That's how it goes. :)
Picture
1. Favorite book
Order of the Phoenix. I would be part of Dumbledore's Army in a heartbeat!
2. Least favorite book
Chamber of Secrets. Giant snake. Need I say more?
3. Favorite movie
Sorcerer's Stone. I think they captured the magical atmosphere the best in that movie.
4. Least favorite movie
Sort of, kind of Prisoner of Azkaban. I actually like the movie, but it drives me crazy that they left out the explanation of the Marauder's Map.
5. Favorite quote
"Welcome!" Dumbledore said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
6. Favorite Weasley
Fred and George. Who would not want them as your best friends?
7. Favorite female character
Ginny Weasley. Growing up with 6 older brothers has got to be tough, but it prepared her to be exactly who she needed to be for Harry.
8. Favorite villain
Umbridge. I like to be able to laugh at my villains, and Voldemort is a little too scary for that.
9. Favorite male character
Dumbledore. Wisdom and wit, all in one.
10. Favorite professor
Lupin for sure. He's understanding and he actually teaches the class!
11. Is there a character you felt differently about in the movies vs. the books?
Bellatrix was way scarier in the movies.
12. Is there a movie you preferred instead of the book?
Nope. Books all the way!
13. Richard Harris or Michael Gambon as Dumbledore?
They both did a wonderful job of bringing an iconic character to life.
14. The top thing not included in the movies that annoyed you the most.
As mentioned above, they never explained why Lupin knew what the Marauder's Map was!!  Kind of an important plot point for the rest of the movie, isn't it?
15. If you could remake any of the movies, which would it be?
I don't think I've seen the later movies often enough to judge.
16. Which house was your first gut feeling you'd be part of?
Ravenclaw. Although I think I'd hang out with Hermione in the library pretty often.
17. Which house were you actually sorted into on Pottermore (or another online sorting quiz)?
Ravenclaw!
18. Which class would be your favorite?
Defense Against the Dark Arts, if Lupin taught it. Honestly, I'm nerdy enough to find History of Magic fascinating, too.
19. Which spell do you think would be most useful to learn?
Lumos. Then I could keep reading in bed when the lights are turned out!
20. Which character at Hogwarts do you think you'd instantly become best friends with?
Hermione. Hooray for bibliophiles!
21. If you could own one of the three Hallows, which would it be?
The Invisibility Cloak. How cool would it be to be invisible!
22. Is there any aspect of the books you'd want to change?
Fewer beloved characters dying!
23. Favorite marauder?
Lupin.
24. If you could bring one character back to life, who would it be?
Most certainly Fred Weasley. Although Lupin and Tonks' deaths broke my heart, too.
25. Hallows or horcruxes?
Surely this answer goes without saying!

I love this tag! Harry Potter will always be my favorite book series. The audio books especially are so amazing.

I've heard that about the audiobooks from so many people. I just may have to try them for my next reread!

I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by that! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
