The Harry Potter Thread

Harry Potter is one of my favourite book series ever. I love how detailed the world is and how Rowling created characters with a range of personalities, not to mention Hermione's character crushing the patriarchy. I'm a proud Ravenclaw and had no regrets buying the merch at the HP Studio Tour last week (would definitely recommend it, they have the forbidden forest in there now and the original costumes in for the summer!!)

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 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!

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

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

My stats are -
House - Hufflepuff (I was very happy with the house I was allocated to )
Patronus - Tortoiseshell cat (a cat, surprise surprise for me )
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 either Hagrid or Dumbledore.

I really want to go to the Harry Potter studio tour in London

If only I were rich and didn't hate crowds

Also noticed that my local Primark (Preeeeeeee-mark as we call it in Ayrshire ) have a fully dedicated area now for HP themed stuff instead of just HP placed here and there around the shop. HP is taking over

Whatatahtttttt?! Our Primark only has the odd HP bit of clothing - mostly pyjamas
Lucky

Aww that sucks my local Primark has HP themed clothes, bags, bed sheets, mugs, keyrings etc

I went on that studio tour on a coach trip with my mum in 2013.

Try reading the Harry Potter fanfiction articles, I've just read an awesome one where Harry's parents came back to life at the beginning of his fifth year, and Lily becomes a teacher.

Can I have a link to that please? Sounds like something I would like to read.

Draco is my daddy

Rich and stuck up?

Also incredibly hawt

Yet to go into the Dundee one, for fear I would spend a lot of money. Will check it out on Monday and then the Derry one on Wednesday.

BUT I went to Diagon House in Edinburgh today. Omg.

I'd love to go to Diagon House but visiting Edinburgh is so expensive from Ayr and then its so busy during the Fringe did you treat yourself to anything?
