Harry Potter Fantastic Favorites!

So I gave Shannon over at Rambling of a Wannabe Scribe (one of my new favorite blogs!!!) my Favorite Gnome Approved Blog Awards. She completely rocks! And she decided to put together a little "Favorites" Q and A for winning the blog. It was a three part blog series and her last one was my absolute Favorite! The Harry Potter Favorites!!! Did I mention that Shannon is awesome? Ok so I couldn't help it. I totally need to answer these questions. They are absolutely some of the most important questions ever!

So because it's Sunday and I have tons of other things I should be doing but am now in Harry Potter mode ... here we go ...

Favorite Book: The Half Blood Prince. I was completely drawn into all the horcruxes and could not put this book down for even a moment.

Favorite Chapter: Chapter 26 of The Half Blood Prince - The Cave ...Harry and Dumbledore go into the cave where Tom Riddle tortured two young children to find the hidden locket. I could picture every moment in this chapter. The movie did not do it justice. (But it didn't suck either) although it was a close second to Chapter 1 in The Goblet of Fire. I loved that scene!

Favorite Scene: The Deathly Hallows where Ron and Hermione finally kiss. It was like "It's about damn time!" and it was entertaining all at the same time.

Favorite Muggle: There really aren't a whole lot to choose from. I really do love that Hermione's parents are muggles though. That entertains me :)

Favorite Teacher: I'd have to go with Slughorn. He was by far the most entertaining teacher.

Favorite Class: Potions. Though Snape was kinda a dink, imagine the possibilities with creating the perfect potions. Imagine going to a writers conference and slipping an agent a little Amortentia ... they'd fall in love with you and want to sign in an instant!!!

Favorite Gryffindor: Ginny! I adore Ginny. She's my favorite everything.

Favorite Hufflepuff: Cedric Diggory. Isn't he everyone's favorite Hufflepuff? I mean look at his cute little red cheeks! (Looking at this picture and thinking is cute makes me feel just as naughty as I do when I say Taylor Lautner is hot!)



Favorite Ravenclaw: I'm with Shannon...all I can think of is Cho Chang. (Well except for her friends. And I totally didn't like her friend Marietta. That little snitch!)

Favorite Slytherin: Slughorn!

Favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher: Lupin. After all he was pretty much the only one who taught the kids anything! Plus without him how would Harry have ever learned how to do a Patronis???

Favorite Quidditch Match: The one where Ron kicks some major arse. Especially in the movie because he just looks like an idiot and it makes me laugh.

Favorite Wand Ingredient: Dragon Heart String. I'd totally want a piece of Dragon in my wand! Does that make me a pyro?

Favorite Wizard Band: Wasn't The Weird Sisters the only one? That's the only one I remember (And yes completely by memory! I've read Harry Potter THAT many times!)


Favorite Library Book: I admit I hit up Google...I tried so hard to keep Google out of it...but I couldn't. All I found was "Quidditch through the Ages"... that'll do!


Favorite Textbook: Hogwarts, A History

Favorite Hogesmead Store: The Three Broomsticks. I want to meet Aberforth's goat.

Favorite Diagon Alley Shop: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and get me a Pigmy Puff!!! I've always wanted a Pigmy Puff...sigh....

Favorite Weasley Twin: Fred ... it's the name... sorry. (Friends from high school need not comment. Thanks!)


Favorite Fight: The one between Ron and the Locket. That Locket was a bizach to him! All making him believe Harry and Hermione were a thing when clearly Harry is in love with Ginny. I was more than happy once Ron stabbed it with the sword!

Favorite Couple: Harry and Ginny all the way. Ginny is my favorite character overall so I was super excited when she finally got the boy she wanted. And I love that she told everyone he had tatoos!

Favorite Scene in a Graveyard: The moment where Harry's parents and everyone comes back to help him and Lord Voldemort flips out cuz he disappears. Eat that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!!! FAIL!

Favorite Villain: Bellatrix. She's like uber B! Just her hair alone makes her quite the awesome villain. Though she is kinda whiny. That is a pretty big turn off. So I would probably say Voldemort if he wasn't already the obvious choice :)

Favorite Trelawney Prophecy: The prophecy from the Hall of Prophecies. I felt it was so well worded! Plus I really liked the orb.

Favorite Ron Line: Bloody Hell!

Favorite Dumbledoreism: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." I know that is really kinda cheesy, but I think it is so true in life. But my favorite snarky comment is "--yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best to say nothing at all, my dear man."

Favorite Beast: Is a Pigmy Puff considered a beast? If not I'm going to go with Thestral. Those are wicked cool, though I wouldn't be able to see one myself.

Favorite Movie: The Order of the Pheonix at the IMAX. The 3-D scenes in the Ministry of Magic are unforgettable. I loved that scene!

Favorite Scene in the Hospital Wing: The one where Ron asks for Hermione in his sleep right in front of Lavender. (I'm mean!)


Favorite Method of Getting to Hogwarts: Well you can only take the Hogwarts Express of course. I mean there are magical enchantments preventing you from apperating and all that other cool stuff! Duh! I mean I suppose you could fly, but I'm super afraid of heights.


Favorite Patel Twin: Parvoiti. I love the line, "Arm, leg, I'm yours!"

That was slightly harder than I expected. But super fun! Enjoy your Sunday!

Okay, I'm definitely falling in love with you. Compliments? Awards? And awesome answers? You really are the best.

Oh, and I totally agree with so many of your answers (you picked a lot of the things I was torn between, so I feel more satisfied now, because they got their shout out somewhere.)

And...now I want to read all seven books again and then watch all six movies. :)

No commenting from me??? Awwwww, but I could say so many things! LOL

Unknown said...

Frankie those are by far the best questions ever :) It was a great exchange for the awesome award you got! LOL

Andrea you MUST read the books. At least the last two. They are my favorites!

Jessica Nelson said...

I wanted to comment, but reading this was like reading a foreign language.
*covering ears as Poppins lets out an unearthly shriek*

I admit, I've never read Harry Potter or seen the movies. *ducking as Poppins hurls a garden gnome at my head*

But I'm glad you're so into it. *wink....then frantically xing out of your blog*

:-)

Shannon O'Donnell said...

Like everyone else in the world (except Jessica apparently! LOL) I love Harry Potter! Great answers and a fun post. ;-)

Unknown said...

Jessica you are cool and all...but I uh...I'm kinda disappointed. Still I will not throw gnomes at you. They might break and breaking a gnome would be a great tragedy!

Shannon you rock!!!

Natalie said...

Wow, I didn't think your awesomeness could get any more pronounced but you just stepped up another rung on my ladder of coolness. I love, love, love Harry Potter, and your answers were all excellent.
