Day 9: Vernon Dursley. But he was a closed-minded douche bag who tried to keep his entire world perfect, and I'm glad to say he failed horribly.

Jo? I think you mean Cho haha;)
Day 10: It just says Horocruxes or Hallows, but not what about between the two of them, so I'm going to go with more interesting.I hardly ever believe in the usage of the word "or", and this is no different. I cannot pick just one of the groups, as each side served their own purpose and have their own interesting history behind them. So I'm going to have to go with "neither" :)

No, I'm pretty sure she meant Jo, as in Joanne Rowling, ya know, the author :).
Day 18 - Least favorite book:I honestly don't have a least favorite. Most of them had stuff I wasn't in love with, but overall the books are like Mary Poppins. They're all "practically perfect in every way".
*Rose* wrote: "Day 17; it's never going to be perfect! So I'm pretty happy with what it was. Although there is always parts that people don't like. Over all I just LOVED the movie...Probably because I'm such a HP..."Day 17: same here

Day 18: My sentiments exactly.

oh haha I feel stupid, I read that totally different then what it was.
Plus I never really new the real name of the author I always called her As J.K. Rowling
Day 11: Even though not that much is known about her, I would have to say Lily Evans/Potter. I don't know, but I've always had a liking to her that just increased with the more knowledge I had about her. Just something about us clicks.
Day 10: Defineltey Hallows. I would love the invisibility cloak and wand but not the ressurection stone.
Day nineteen: I always prefer the books. Anytime I feel like watching the movies, I get disappointed because it doesn't come near living up to what I imagine from the words JKR wrote.
Day19: How can any more say that the movies are better then the books? It's just wrong. The books are the real thing and are ireplaceable.
Wow. Sorry guys. I keep on getting behind.Day 13 - 5th HP
Day 14 - Team Harry totally
Day 15 - Luna, Hermione, and Neville
Day 16 - Bellatrix
Day 17 - Both
Day 18 - 2nd

Day 12: Existent or non-existent?I'm gonna say an answer for both. Well, its not that complicated. I guess I would have to say either Hermione/Ron or Hermione/Harry.
She really could have been with either one, but it was Ron/Hermione that was destined to happen.
JKR once said that there was a possibility for Harry/Hermione, thats why that are certain moments that only they share to show it could have been possible, but as you go on in the story, you realize that yes, Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny are meant to be together.
Day 19; Books are ALWAYS better no matter what series. But i have to admit I absolutely LOVE the movies with a passion<3
Day 13: I don't really hate any of the movies, but if I had to choose, it would be Prisoner of Azkaban. It was just very different from the others, which is not bad for Alfonso Cuaron since that is his style, but is not good for the Harry Potter series.
Day 20: If I got to meet one member of the cast it would be Alan Rickman. Or Gary Oldman. They are both amazing actors and portrayed their characters flawlessly!
Day twenty: If I could meet any one member of the cast, I think it would have to be Maggie Smith. Such a tough question because I don't want to choose just one, but she is a beautiful, talented, strong woman, and I couldn't pass up that opportunity.
Day 20: Tough question. I would have to say Emma Watson. She is such a strong individual and got through all the troubles that came with being a part of the Harry Potter franchise.
Day 20 - Probably Emma WatsonDay 21 - I would bring back...Sirius and Lupin/Tonks. Sirius was a really good character, I really liked him. Then it just seems so unfair that Lupin and Tonks didn't get to raise their son.
Day 22 - Harry Potter
Day 23 - I didn't really cry while reading the books. I did sort of cry during the deathly hallows movie when they showed Snape's memories.
Day 21: If I could bring one character back from the dead, who would it be? Gosh, this is hard. So many good characters died! Mine's a three-way tie here, I think. Either A. Sirius. Harry went through a lot of crap and didn't deserve his Godfather dying after losing his parents and everything else. B. Snape. He was a good guy, despite all the evidence to the contrary, and it sucks that he had to die after all of that. C. Lupin/Tonks. They didn't even get to raise their own son. I was devastated. :(
Day twenty one: One person to bring back from the dead? JK made this one of the hardest questions ever. I'm with Michelle, I guess it's a tie for me. It would have to be either Sirius or Lupin. They were two of my favorite characters (so of course JK killed them off) and they loved and protected Harry so passionately. They deserved to live out their lives.

Day 22: Harry Potter or Twilight? This shouldn't even be a question. Let's see...an amazing story with incredibly fleshed-out and believable characters who go through amazing transformations throughout the story, an author-created world that is believable, detailed, and perfect...OR a whiny high-school emo girl who is awkward and, frankly, retarded who falls in "love" with a sparkly vampire who chooses to continuously go through high school over and over again? Right. That's such a hard choice.
Day: 13 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It focused way to much on romance rather than the actual storyline.
Day 1 - I say the first and the last. They're the deepest and most touching. Plus they have funny parts XDDay 2 - Number 2 and Number 7 part 2. Number 2 had really good effects with the Chamber and Tom Riddle.
Day 3 - HECK YESSS! Number 4 left out Dobby and Winky and SPEW.
Day 4 - Cho Chang. She's such a typical teenage girl, always worrying about what people think of her. She doesn't fit in.
Day 5 - DUMBLEDORE! DUH! I don't think anybody can figure him out but he's so wise.....you feel safe with him around. Sometimes I think he has the answer to everything...but I'm glad JKR clarified in the 7th that he doesn't. It makes him more real.
Day 6 - Ravenclaw....I like school and learning.....
Day 7 - I'm going to be boring and say Hermione Granger. She's the perfect combo of smart and kind and her flaws are present but not huge. I like Luna Lovegood too.
Day 8 - Charms, probably. They seem useful in everyday life.
Day 9 - No, I'm not going to say Voldemort. Lucius Malfoy. He's a freak and a bully and seems to think his son is a robot that will obey him no matter what.
Day 10 - Hallows.
Day 11 - I'm a mix of Hermione and Luna I say.....I'm studious...and very weird.
I have to go now, I'll post the rest when I get back.
Day twenty-two: Harry Potter or Twilight?? Really?? I think this is a slightly biased discussion forum to post a question like that. I am reading the Twilight series right now, almost done with the third book and I know that it is not nearly as good as the Harry Potter series. JKR created a world and characters in which a reader could get lost for a few special hours. Twlight has none of the depth, strength or passion of the Harry Potter series. There isn't really a choice, it's Harry Potter all the way.
Day 21: Must I choose one? Sort of random but Colin Creevy. Annoying but really he doesn't deserve to die. And of course I would want back all the usual people, Fred, George, Lupin, Tonks, and Sirius. And Hedwig! When I first read the seventh book I cried when she died. What's weird is she is the only death I cried over in the whole series. I cried more while watching the last movie because seeing everyone dead hits much harder.

And you can't forget about Dobby either, poor little guy :(.
Day 21: i would bring back Fred!!!!!! i miss sirius and lupin and tonks to but they had already lived such full lives, Fred was only 19 when he died, he had barley even started livingDay 22: Harry Potter, no duh!
Day 23: I'm pretty sure I cried at least once in nearly every book. When almost every character died (including Hedwig), the whole scene of Snape's memories, when Hermione erased her parents memories in the movie...I'm just a big cry baby.About Day 22, I have another quote I read somewhere, "Kids who read read Harry Potter. Kids who don't watch the Twilight movies." :D
