ADMIN: More Halloween Fun!

[Hebby Elf]

The spookiest and most hauntingly Harry Potterish of all holidays is 
upon us! As promised, your List Elves have gathered some fun and 
games for your Halloween enjoyment.
 
As announced here at OTChatter, we're holding a Costume Contest (see 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter/message/19186 for 
details and "HALLOWEEN 2003" at 
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter/lst for the 
photo album) with the winner of the "Best Harry Potter Themed 
Costume" category to be displayed on HPfGU-OTChatter's home page.
 
But that's not all <g> for we now present our Halloween Mixer! Many 
of us enjoyed filling out and posting our answers to the OT Mixer 
(which can be found in the Files section of this group, 
titled "bio.doc"), so we've created a Halloween "supplement" - 
filled with questions and quizzes to amaze and amuse. Is it a trick 
or a treat? You decide. Have fun filling it out, and when you're 
done, feel free to post your answers and results here.
 
 
* Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
 
* What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
 
* Provide the etymology of your signature/handle/email address. In 
other words, how and why did you choose the name you use on the 
HPfGU lists.
 
* Whose signature/handle/email address on the HPfGU boards {a} would 
you like to steal or {b} intrigues you?
 
* Describe your ultimate Halloween costume.
 
* If you lived in the Potterverse, who would you be, and what would 
you do for a living?
 
* What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?
 
* What shape would a boggart take, if you chance upon one?
 
* What happy memory will you rely upon, if you are to conjure up a 
Patronus?
 
* What form might your Patronus take?
 
* What might your animagus form be?
 
And here are two more that are already being discussed on the list; 
if you haven't answered them already, you can answer them now . . . 
 
* What basically harmless things scared you as a child (for example, 
a certain toy or household item)? [Question originally posted by 
Tracy]
 
* What's your scariest moment from a film or television show? Or, 
tell us which horror movie is your all-time favourite, and why. 
["Scariest"
question originally posted by June]
 
 
Some other fun things to do (you can post your results along with 
the answers to your questions):

* Ever wonder into which Hogwarts House the Sorting Hat would put 
you? If you're not sure, here are a couple of sites where you can 
get sorted:
 
7 Dragons' Sorting Hat: http://hogwarts.7dragons.net/sortinghat.html

* Speaking of your interest in Harry Potter, you can share all the 
details by posting your own Harry Potter Geek Code. If you haven't 
created one,
this site will walk you through it:
