hah. McGonagall has always been one of my favourite characters, f..."

See this re. McGonagall and Quidditch:

Minerva also played for Gryffindor Quidditch team in her student years; a nasty fall in her final year (a foul during the Gryffindor versus Slytherin match which would decide the Quidditch Cup winner) left her with a concussion, several broken ribs, and a lifelong desire to see Slytherin crushed on the Quidditch pitch.

(from Harry Potter Wikia)

Maggie Smith is fantastic as Minerva and as Violet, in Downton Abbey. Her one liners cracked me up.

McGonagall rocks! Also loved it when she lent her cane to Peeves when Umbridge was being kicked out.

Also, for spelling the Unforgivable Curses, do we need to spell the name of the curse or the actual spell?

I'm asking because while it's the Cruciatus curse, the spell for that is Crucio. I also fixed Avada Kedavra (it had an E instead of an A)

For Astronomy, I have:

Reign the Earth
Sky in the Deep
Written in the Stars
Earth Star
Where the Stars Still Shine

For Potions, I have:

Salamander blood - Keep Her Safe
Red cover - Grey Sister or Ace of Shades

Okay. I'm reading Inferno, which has dragons, which could work for the DADA class.

*hem hem*

My favorite scene with Umbridge is when Harry goes in to talk to McGonagall about his career options, and Umbridge is there as well.

I don't know why, but I keep wishing we had some character related tasks LOL

I keep picturing a set of tasks for Gilderoy Lockhart or Fang or Norbert

Isn't there a link on one of the first posts to all our comments?

Goodreads ate all my notifications for this thread... Again.

I got a bit sidetracked, as I got another book to read for a publishing house. So I'm currently working on Tell Me Lies and Inferno

I'm currently reading , as it fits some of my other challenges.[

As for the royal wedding, I'm not sure yet if I'll watch it

is the second book with the House cover on sale yet? Gotta get my battered credit card to buy it

Nah, to be honest, it's pretty rare to get a really book. Most of the manuscripts I get, I abandon halfway through

I'm feeling like a turtle with my books...

(the publishing house that I evaluate manuscripts for keeps sending me books to read, and I can't focus on my own books - such a terrible problem to have LOL)

I'm hearing impaired, so audiobooks are a no-go for me. I had that tic but then I realized how much it distracted me from actually enjoying the book

My Kindle comes with me even for lunch break LOL

that's why I hide the estimated reading time and the percentage read LOL

I could try to do Sarum too
