OT: Hello Everyone - an Introduction

[Magda Grantwich]

THE OLD CROWD  INTRO
 
***Name:
Magda Grantwich

 
***Nicknames/IDs:

Magda, although on the Sugar Quill, I'm muggleguest.



***Age:

late '30's

 
***Family:

Single, no pets

 
***Home

Canada


***Birthday, Place of Birth:

August, Canada
 

***Education/Job/Role in Life etc:
 
History major, raising money for a major Canadian performing arts
company

 
***Other things we might want to know about you:

I read a great deal.

 
***First contact with Harry Potter:

Read the first three books during summer of 2000 in preparation for
the release of GOF (which I read in the fall of 2000).  I wanted to
see what the fuss was all about.

 
***Favourite Potter things (books, characters, ships, fics, objets
d'Art, general enthusing):

Just the books. 


***Favourite character(s): 

Fave characters: Snape, Dumbledore, Luna, Neville.  
Un-fave characters: Molly, Sirius.

 
***Ships 

Well, I think Ron/Hermione is coming down the tracks with all the
subtlety of a freight train but other than being convinced that
McGonagall has a not-so-secret crush on Dumbledore (which he is aware
of and finds touching, although he thinks he's too old and doomed for
her), not much interested.

 
***Fics: 

There's a great fanfic called "The Eulogy" which is a 100ish Harry
giving the eulogy for 140ish Snape, former headmaster of Hogwarts. 
Best Snape fic ever written, bar none.  Gets Harry right too, which
is also pretty rare.  So bang on I'm half-convinced JKR wrote it.
 

***Extent of Potter obsession:

I want to see how the story ends.  Buy the paperbacks, not the
hardcovers.

 
***Other interests/activities:

Reading, writing.


***Current/recent reading:

John Julius Norwich's "The Normans in the South"
Flora Fraser's "Princesses: The Six Daughters of George III"

 
***Current/recent listening:

Classical music, some opera.

***Current/recent viewing:

Don't have a TV; waste of time, mostly.
 

Cheers all.

Magda
