The Harry Potter Thread

Harry Potter was a large part of my childhood. I watched the first four films a billion times and used to listen to Stephen Fry's audiobooks like every night. Half Blood Prince and Prisoner of Azkaban got the most play I think.
Ima go redo that Pottermore stuff as I dunno what my account was lol

Ooooh nice one, didn't know he did an audiobook recording. I'll need to check it out :smile:

if Patrick Stewart has done a recording of Harry Potter then I'll be even more happy :tongue:

Be sure to let us know what house and everything you get assigned to :yep:

Hey fellow Potterheads! So I'm sad to say I am a little late at joining the club as I've finally just started to read the books at age 24 :colondollar:

I've seen all the movies when they first came out but I don't know why I never got around to reading the books when I was younger as I had read other popular series such as LOTR, Stephen King's work etc but anyhoo, better late than never! :yep:

I'm currently half way through Prisoner of Azkaban and so far, I'd say that is my favourite book though I am really looking forward to reading Half Blood Prince. I don't find it boring reading the books after the films, I'm enjoying it very much :smile:

So what are your favourite moments from the HP series? Who is your favourite characters? What scenes from the books do you wish made it into the films?

Feel free to add your Pottermore stats too if you fancy :yep:

My stats are -
House - Hufflepuff (I was very happy with the house I was allocated to :yep:

)
Patronus - Tortoiseshell cat (a cat, surprise surprise for me :teehee:

)
Ilvermoney - Horned Serpent
Wand - Ash wood with a Dragon heartstring core 9 and 3/4 inch and quite bendy flexibility

I think if I ever came across a Boggart, it would appear as a wasp and it would be bloody hard to try and make that look amusing! My favourite character so far is Dumbledore.

My patronus is a Tonkinese Cat
My house is Slytherin
Ilvermony house is Horned Serpent (sensing a theme)
Wand is ash wood with a dragon heartstring core 12 and 3/4 inch (whoah) and unyielding flexibility

We both got pretty similar results :five:

Not many people get put into Slytherin though :teehee:

were you expecting to be put into that house?

I've been put into every single house, I've done it several times. :rofl:

However I've definitely got Slytherin at least twice. Well I am sort of ambitious, but it doesn't overpower my natural laziness. I'm not particularly cunning lol.

This sort of pain becomes more frequent as the books get bigger. :colonhash:

I've got about 20 pages left of Prisoner of Azkaban left so I should be starting Goblet of Fire tonight :yep:

I really enjoy the more dark each book becomes. One part of the books I never really enjoy much though are the Quidditch scenes. Maybe its just because I'm not into sports or whatever but I don't enjoy those parts much. It was interesting though when dementors showed up during a match.

Better late than never! It's always good to hear someone's reading the books, because you learn more about the lore, and personally I love the charming writing style. Also with the later books they cut a lot of the scenes out because movies have to be short, so it;s cool to see the tidbits that are 'new'. I read the books ages about but I think I skimmed it because I don't remember much, as I'm rereading them atm, and I'm on Goblet of Fire atm. I've loved PoA the most so far in my rereading thingy.

I love the moments in PS, there's just something charming, fresh and new about that book, as everything is new, and the later books don't capture that same note, in a good way! I like the tension in CoS, and I love, love love the chapters where they are in the Shrieking Shack in PoA, as well as the angry Harry scene where he learns that Sirius was his father's friend and betrayed them. Gotta love angry Harry.

My favorite character is Remus Lupin! Such a sweet cinnamon roll. I also like Hermione and the Weasleys, and Sirius and Dumbledore, and Hagrid. And to an extent Lockhart (but not if it was real life) and Harry.

My Pottermore
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Ilvermorny House: Horned Serpent
Wand: Blackthorn wood with a Unicorn hair core, 10 and 3/4" and Hard flexibility
Patronus: Wolf
