ADMIN: More Halloween Fun!

[hedwigstalons]

* Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
No, because I don't think the dead are anywhere but waiting until the 
end of time. Then, at the end of time, the great sorting will occur 
and the choice we made while we were living about what happens to us 
in the Afterlife will come to fruition.
I do think there are spirits who take many shapes and forms, but they 
are angels  - the good and/or the fallen; not our actual loved ones 
or the souls of the dead.
* What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
That I can be a very loud person. That I like Metallica and country 
music.

* 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.
Hedwig is my favorite animal character and I wanted a name with her 
name in it, but not just Hedwig15 or something. So, I thought of 
adding talons and there you go!

 * Whose signature/handle/email address on the HPfGU boards {a} would 
you like to steal or {b} intrigues you? I don't want to steal 
anyone's! But, there are a bunch that intrigue me!  Caius Marcius 
(especially impressed cuz Caius writes SO many filks!!), the granny's 
(Granny Witch and Granny Bat), augustinapeach, Iggy McSnurd,, Kneasy. 

 * Describe your ultimate Halloween costume. 
Well, a gypsy, sort of based on Sybil Trelawney, complete with 
crystal ball!!
 
 * If you lived in the Potterverse, who would you be, and what would 
you do for a living? 
I'd want to be at Hogwarts, teaching Herbology. I enjoy gardening and 
plants, so when Sprout's ready to retire, here I am!

* What would you see in the Mirror of Erised? 
Myself living in a house with a big yard, two dogs, cats, and a tiny 
orchard. (And all of our school loans paid off!)
  
* What shape would a boggart take, if you chance upon one? Being 
buried in debt and never able to come out from under it.
  
* What happy memory will you rely upon, if you are to conjure up a 
Patronus?  
 
* What form might your Patronus take? 
A tiger.  

* What might your animagus form be? 
Probably a bird of some sort. I love to watch the birds at their 
feeders!  
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] Never like clowns too much, is that from watching Poltergeist 
when I was 7?

* What's your scariest moment from a film or television show? Or, 
tell us which horror movie is your all-time favourite, and why. I 
don't like horror movies too much suspense, too much yelling at the 
screen "Don't open the door!" "Don't run BACK into the house you 
idiot!" "Run, dammit, run!"   

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: 
On all the sites I've tried, I'm either placed in Hufflepuff or 
Ravenclaw.   

* Is your interest in Harry Potter just good, harmless fun . . . or 
are you bordering on obsessive? 21% obssessed   

* Finally, just how well do you know the canon? Take the quiz here 
and let us know if you are savvy or sorry: 
a mix, depending on the order of the questions!
