New Question and Answer thing

[Steve Binch]

No: HPFGUIDX 44420

I think these Q&A ones are fun to read. They help me get to know the people here without actually "getting to know" the people here. I'm new here, so here you go. You can get to know me without "getting to know" me.

I hope we never go into Arithmacy. I get the impression that it is the same as Arithmetic or Math. I think that would add some unwanted boredom to the books.


> > 2. Do any of the pets in Harry Potter seem like they're not *really* pets.

Even though Trevor, Crookshanks and even Pig seem like they might be a little suspicious, I don't think any of them will be people. It's been done. JKR will have something more clever up her sleeve rather than repeat that surprise. Now Crookshanks might have previously belonged to Mrs. Figg, but is definitely still a cat.



> > 3. Name your favorite new organization with letters (Ie: N.I.N.E= Neville is not Evil) and try to come up with your own.

S.A.P.A.1. = Snape And Petunia Are One (What? It's possible!)



> > 4. Will Draco ever stop being oh so evil?

Draco will be "Oh So Evil" all the way through book 7. He will get even worse because his jealousy will grow. I won't refute that he possibly will surprise us at the end, but I think he will try to impress his father by becoming a follower of Vold. and take the place of Crouch Jr. or something.



> > 5. Predictions on the final chapter of book 7?

(See my answer to the previous question) Draco will become a strong follower of Vold. in order to impress his dad and also in hopes of helping to bring Harry down!



> > 6. Ron and Hermione--Will they hook up?

Yes, but not in the books. In the epilogue JKR will say how they marry and live happily ever after. Until then, they will continue to fight and make up. Probably at least once per book.


> > 7. What's the deal with Wizard money? Does it collect interest? 

No, it doesn't collect interest. The reason they keep it in the bank is cause it's too heavy to carry around. Can you imagine Harry keeping a safe full of galleons under the stairs at the Dursley's? Most wizards would rather keep it Grongotts, that way they don't have to worry about someone breaking into their homes and stealing all their money.



> > 8. If you could play any Quidditch position, what would it be? Why? Which team?

Seeker. As seeker, you either get all the glory or all the blame (in most cases). Speaking of Quidditch, do you think that the American wizards play it? Or did they invent their own game played on brooms? (examples: Rugby/Grid-Iron, Cricket/Baseball)


> > 9. Name a character who is going to have the most change in his/her characterization between books 5-7, and explain what changes might happen.

Cho Chang. Mostly because her character hasn't really developed much yet. I think that Harry's relationship with Cho will be much like my relationships in high school. Harry will become good friend with her, always having his crush on her, but to her, Harry will always be her little pal. Man, that sucks!


> > 10. What new flavors of Bertie Bott's beans would you like to eat?

Prime Rim, Supreme Pizza, Lasagna, Diet Mt. Dew, Cheese and Broccoli, BBQ Chicken, Cheddar Stuffed Chiles. Mmmmm. 


Well, I'm off to lunch.
