Name:Kathryn
 
 
Also known as:K, PotionMaster (that's my pen name)
 
 
Age/Sex:27, Female
 
 
Birthplace/Livingplace and feelings about same:Windsor currently, nice, posh
 big castle, expensive, full of tourists, no decent shops but lots of 
tourist goods' ie teddy bears in busbys, expensive tea, lavender soaps. But
I'm moving back to Luton, uh, what can one say about Luton, it has an
airport .....
 
 
Family Life: Single, childless, and content to remain so.
 
 
Personality:Uh swing between tigger-like bouncyness and eeyore-like
depression
 
 
 
Words friends have used to describe you:insane, talkative, munchkinlike (I'm
shorter than everyone I know, well all the adults anyway)
 
 
 
Words you have used to describe you:insane (are we sensing a pattern here?),
obsessive, imaginative
 
 
 
Things you do when not staring at the computer:uh, when *not* staring at a
computr, no, sorry don't understand that concept ..... Had a life, got a
modem
 
 
Comfort foods: HaagenDaz Baileys ice cream, salted popcorn, cherries, 
 
 
 
 
Education/Work: Eternal student, medieval historian, looking for a job (in
Southern England, anyone out there recruiting?)
 
 
 
Language skills:I speak English, French, Spanish, German, Latin and am about
to start learning Arabic. Some of my friends would argue that of all of them
English is the one I most often mangle
 
 
 
Technical know-how:Computers are the tools of stan and as such one only
imagines one has technical skill, in actual fact you are simply prey to the
whims of the infernal machine - or that may just be *my* computer....
 
 
 
 
Favourite HP book: Hmmm, difficult. It was PoA without a doubt, but it might
be OoP now. I need to read them again to decide.
 
 
 
Favourite HP character(s):Used to be Sirius, Remus and any Slytherin, since
OoP I've gone off Draco, aka 'the Brat' in a serious manner but am in love
with Minerva and the Twins
 
 
 
Favourite HP line "It unscrews the other way"
 
 
 
Watching/Avoiding the HP movies?: watching, avidly since they were what
introduced me to the fandom, besides when it comes to Slytherins the
eye-candy is delicious
 
 
 
Into HP fanfiction? In a big way. I read voraciously - as long as the author
has grasped the basic concepts of spelling and grammer, and I write (mainly
slash)
 
 
 
Books you'd recommend to just about anyone: The Matthew Bartholomew
Chronicles by Susanna Gregory, the Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Coiffer,
