[HPFGU-OTChatter] Kids' house aspirations

[Wendy St. John]

Hiya, everyone,

Dumbledad asked what Houses, if any, our kids aspire to . . .

Well, my four-year-old son, Connor, *definitely* wants to go into Ravenclaw. 
He's very adamant, and talks about it regularly. He is also very much 
looking forward to having Professor Snape teach him to make potions. He even 
has a small plastic cauldron (Halloween decoration) that he plays with. 
Fortunately, as Connor looks quite a bit like a very young Tom Felton, I am 
hopeful that Snape might actually be nice to him in class. <G>

He will also willingly act as a Sorting Hat when asked, and is surprisingly 
astute in his assessments  . . . he's got me in Gryffindor, his dad in 
Hufflepuff, and his best friend and best friend's dad in Slytherin (which is 
exactly where I'd put all of us if I were the Sorting Hat).

Before anyone asks, I've NOT read the books to Connor, and don't plan to for 
at least a few more years. He's seen the first movie after it came out on 
video, but didn't really like it so he's not watched it again. So how does 
he know all this stuff about the Potterverse? From his totally obsessed 
mummy, of course! <G> I guess I really must talk about it *a lot*! Well, he 
does have the Legos and the Hogwarts playset, and a vast assortment of plush 
Hedwig toys. All the toys are *his*, honest. Really. Why are you all looking 
at me with those sceptical looks on your faces?!? <GGG>

Wendy
