Harry Potter Edition

1. If you were a new Harry Potter character what would you like your name to be, and explain how you devised it?

I could use my regular default "login name"--Cat. A. Loger--and ohbytheway, I'm SOOO smackin' down that AWFUL librarian at Hogwarts! She is a Voldemort infiltrator, I'm sure of it!

2. If you were an existing Harry Potter character who would it be?

Well, I'd probably end up as Hermione. I'd prefer to be Professor McGonnigal, though.

3. If you could invent a fun spell - what would you call it and what would it do? (just fun - no saving the world type spells).

This isn't exactly a spell, it's a creature, I guess, but I'd like to have something like an anti-Dementor following me around all winter so that when the gloomies started getting to me, I could just turn around and get cheered right back up right away. What would I call them? I suck at naming things. Someone else can name them.

4. Can you recommend a Harry Potter website?

Well, I'd go to the source myself.

5. Sum up why you like the Harry Potter books in as few or as many words as you like.

They are clever, with great characterization, contain wonderful little moments of joy, and are accurate about the emotional life of the age group (teens). Oh, and imaginative! How could I miss that? Also, I'm a sucker for series, I'm always curious about what comes next. Then there's the fact that I read the first 5 out loud to Sparky as they came out, so I have good memories of that.

6. OK - what spell would you like to apply, to whom and why?

Since I'm convinced that they are all boggarts, I'd do the "Riddikulus" charm against Bush and Cheney and their ilk.
