I'm back (sort of)

Well, I'm back from the Grampian Highlands and we had a wonderful time. My youngest claims he's staying. I've read many a book and am ready to put the June/July Forest up. However...my darn computer crashed. Can you believe it? Second time this year. This time I'm not even sure my hard drive will recover.

In any case, I expect the delivery of a trusty old laptop tomorrow or the next day. Then I'll be back to posting reviews and news. In the meantime, here's a meme courtesy of Sheila at Wands and Worlds.

1. Butterbeer or pumpkin juice?
I'll have to go with pumpkin juice, as the thought of liquid butter makes me ill.

2. What House would you most likely (or want to) be in in Hogwarts?
I'd like to be in Gryffindor, but I'm 100% positive I'd end up in Ravenclaw.

3. If you were an animagus, what animal would you turn into?
Definitely a cat. Preferably a black cat.

4. What character do you empathize with, or resemble best?
Hermione, Hermione, Hermione.

5. What position do you play at Quidditch?
I'd be banned from the Quidditch field. Maybe I could sell butter beer?

6. Which teacher is your favorite?
Dumbledore is my absolute favorite. If you all object to my choice as he's the Headmaster, then I'll go with Professor Flitwick. He has a wonderful sense of humor.

7. Any Harry Potter 7 predictions?
Trust Snape. That's my only real prediction. I do think Harry and Hermione will survive, but I'm not counting on anyone else making it through. Also, I do think Harry will have a relative (Mark Evans from Order of the Phoenix? A grandparent?)

I'm not going to tag, because I'd love to hear from as many of you as possible. Please play!!

I just relistened to The Half-Blood Prince and am ready to go.

JKR has already nixed Mark Evans as being a long lost relative... *Sigh*

19 more days!

I played. I still haven't ruled out Harry's going to join Sirius and the rest on the other side of the veil in order to let Ron & Hermione live happily ever after, but mostly I think it's Snape who'll turn out to be Sidney Carton, which could clear the way for Harry & Ginny. Although I don't like trying to predict TOO much. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on the new book. I have to re-read HP6 soon, though. Unless I get particularly ambitious and go through all 6 of them by then. Which may well happen. And yes, I read that fast.

I posted mine this morning. I forgot about Flitwick. I bet he would be fun. I am sad you think Ron won't make it. I can't imagine a future without the Trio.

Glad to know you got back safely after the security scares here over the weekend...

Kelly said...

I know she has, Jennie, but I'm wondering still...why is he there otherwise? Just to throw us off?

Kelly and Lady S....heading over to check your memes out...

Hi Michele: Well, we're still in Edinburgh, but at least the travel went well. Scary stuff happening here!

Michele said...

Oh my bad. I thought you were back in the US now...

I think I would be placed in Hufflepuff, but I'd talk to the Sorting Hat about being placed in Slytherin. I just can't fathom that ALL the bad guys would be in Slytherin. And if they were, I'd like to help take down the system from within. At some point, I'd probably have a nervous breakdown and have to be shipped back to Ravenclaw. The thought of all that makes me want to drink buckets of butterbeer. (I think of "butterbeer" as tasting like the butterscotch version of root-beer.)
