Oh my!  How much fun is this?  The only problem is, I don't know how 
I'll narrow all these down to choose one!

Most like to meet....  I'm going to say Dumbeldore.  He's wise, he's 
wacky, he's my hero!

But I'd also like to meet Neville, and tell him how much I admire his 
perserverance, and that there are tons of us out here cheering for the 
underdog.

I think I'd have to say Hagrid.  He's kind, he's loving, he's 
uncomplicated, yet wise.  He's strong, and unwaveringly, fiercely 
loyal, and it would never be boring to visit him, because there'd 
always be some 'interestin' creature' nearby.

Oh gosh.  Today I'm saying Remus.  He might be a little old for me, I 
never can get the timeline right in my head, but Lupin's inner 
struggles and quiet nobility totally turn my knees to jelly.  I 
imagine him to have a soft voice, the kind that you feel as much as 
you hear.  My mousepad has a picture of Lon Chaney Jr. on it as the 
Wolf Man.  My uncle gave it to me a couple of years ago, because when 
I was a little girl my cousins (boys, and older) used to make me watch 
old monster movies with them, and that was the one I liked.  Maybe I 
just have a thing for werewolves, I don't know.  I definitely have 
developped a tendency in the last year to fall for werewolf 
characters, anyway.

Oh - perfect first date...  With Remus...  that's hard.  Heck, tea in 
his office would be fine with me.  As long as I got to learn more 
about him, hear him talk, see his eyes, etc., I'd be fine.  Well, I 
also want to touch his hair, is that weird?


>   And, which character would you most like to be?

Be... who would I like to be...  
I'm tempted to say Hermione too, for similar reasons, but I just don't 
think I could pull it off.  I'm just not as diligent as she is.  I 
might ruin her grades!  I think I'll say Ginny, because I want to be a 
Weasley!
I want to live at the Burrow and laugh with Fred and George and watch 
Arthur tinker with his muggle toys and help degnome the garden.  Go to 
Hogwarts and see everything there, be as close to the trio's inner 
circle as possible, etc.  My inner child is stomping her foot and 
saying I should give being Hermione a shot, because she (my inner 
child) wants to marry a Weasley someday, and she sure can't do that if 
she's Ginny, but she's just going to have to live with it.

This is fun!
