Toasting to everyone with some microbrew from the Deschutes Brewry: Mirror Pond pale ale... delicious.
 
* Name(s).

* Provide the etymology of your signature/handle/moniker/email 
address. In other words, how and why did you choose the name 
you use on the HPfGU lists.

* If you lived in the Potterverse, who would you be, and what

* What would you see in the Mirror of Erised?
Happy, naughty stuff

* 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 gifts would you register for in Diagon Alley?  Or would 
it be Knockturn Alley?  How about at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes?
--Everything from the Apothecary, an owl from Eeylops (spotted to represent the Northwest(US)), a gift certificate for Olivander's so my wand can pick me, a Firebolt from QQS, everything from WWW except the wands that change into _____ , and robes of summer and autumnal colors... and a cool hat! 

* Times being what they are...what is your favorite flavor of 
jam?  
--Marion Berry (not the crack-head mayor from DC... that would be gross)

* Who is your favorite character?
Mrs. Figg, Snape, Neville, Luna, Kreacher, Ron

* What do you hope will happen in Book 7?
--Learning wtf is up with Harry/Lily's eyes.  Seeing Snape and Harry forced to Journey together... much like DD and Harry did in the Cave.

* What do you think will happen in Book 7?
--There will be redemption and forgiveness mingled with loss and love.

--I din't know how to save my posts then.  I didn't have a 'introduction' post, it would have been about Squibs.

* Point us to your favorite posts, your own or otherwise.
--My favorite posters would be easier.  In no order: pheonixgod, lupinlore, neri and nora (I use to think they were the same), just carol, sssusan, bboyminn, valkie, jen... My least favorite posts are ships

-- not sure, I don't post much.

* What things about you often come as a surprise to others?
-- My age or my words

--Listen to Air America, read, watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, move youth forward toward their future, go to the Y, drink cheap and sometimes good beer, cuddle, laugh, play cards or chess, drink good coffee, smoke (on occassion) good cigs (yes, there is a difference), practice my spiritual beliefs (mostly), mow, water, weed.

** Got a question of your own?  Ask it here.



More HP fun (share your results please!):


--I've been sorted into Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, but not at the same site.

* Finally, just how well do you know the canon? Take the quizzes, 
play the puzzles and games.  So, are you savvy or sorry?

Scholastic's Harry Potter Wizard Challenge:
