Harry Potter Randomness

[Dara]

Speaking of Buzzfeed, which Harry Potter villain are you? I was too curious. I am Umbridge. Duh.

I had to look up what snapchat is. Goodreads is as social as I get.

I got Voldemort.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Wormtail. Lol.

[Dara]

Just for shits and giggles since I posted the villain one, which Harry Potter character are you? I got Fred Weasley.

I don't put much stock in this, or I'm incredibly self delusional.

You got: Bellatrix Lestrange
You’re attracted to powerful people. You don’t care if people hate you, as long as they’re not those you admire. Also, you’re pretty crazy.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I quite dislike powerful people.

[Dara]

I don't either but it kills time at work.

But you got awesome Fred Weasely.

[Dara]

Dead Fred.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

And Bellatrix is alive and well?

[Dara]

Good point. Forgot.

[Scott]

I am Snape apparently. And got Tom Riddle as villain

[Kat]

I got Umbridge and Hermione. Hmmm.

[terpkristin]

My villain is Kreacher (ugh).

But my character that I am is Albus Dumbledore.

World record holder for Harry Potter memorabilia has more than 3,000 items his collection: http://www.themarysue.com/guinness-wo...

Gulping gargoyles! That's a lot of crap.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm not even going to click that link. Makes me feel better about my own hoarding though.

How Harry Potter is as nihilistic and cruel as No Country For Old Men, by Robert Jackson Bennett: http://www.robertjacksonbennett.com/b...

Spoilers abound.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I gave up midway through.

[Bill]

Me too. Besides reading their books I really don't have much interest in what authors have to say.

[Dara]

Alex, I laughed out loud at the autoerotic asphyxiation part.

Kreacher & Ginny Weasley.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Looks like a new short story coming out on Halloween on Pottermore about Umbridge. Seems timely considering our Order of the Phoenix reread.

There's a Harry Potter theme hotel in London. I expected more. The rooms at the Georgian House Hotel are not impressive.

[Scott]

wow, #10 ... yes!

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

4, 10, and 21 got a chuckle from me. The rest, meh.

[Dara]

4, 14, 19, 20 and 23 got a chuckle.

Isn't the bottom of 26 Gandalf? It's hard to tell on my phone but I'm pretty sure it's Gandalf.

[Dara]

Man, am I the worst for pointing that out?

You can read the story about Umbridge on the Today website.

Edit: It's no so much as story as a wikipedia entry on her life and then Rowling's thoughts on the character.
