Harry Potter

[Kitsune]

Ah, okay. Thanks!

[Ashleg]

So.
How do you get sorted?
Even though, as a Slytherin, I doubt one will fit perfectly.

They're not supposed to be equivalent to Hogwarts houses.

[Ashleg]

So, guys...
What are your opinions on Dudley?

[Banya]

As Dumbledore pointed out, he's definitely a product of his spoiled upbringing, but I like him more as he gets older and starts to think for himself. He learned early on how easy it was to push around his parents and sought the same submissive behaviour in his peers/followers, but I don't at all think he's a wicked person. I never saw any of the cruel things he did as a child as anything more than childish, bullying behaviour. I can't call myself a fan, because he really made Harry's childhood miserable, but by the seventh book, I liked Dudley and enjoyed his and Harry's last parting. Of his family, I think he was the most emotionally attached to Harry, his equal in age, relied on Harry as a means to reinforce his own dominance in the household and neighbourhood, and eventually respected him as a human, relative, and wizard more than his parents ever did.

Well said, Banya.

I like the thought that JK almost wrote in a magical child for Dudley. That gives him and Harry another chance to start again. And, since redemption is a recurring theme (Snape, Dudleyish, Peter, Draco, Regulus, Kreacher, etc.) in the books, it would make sense they would reunite eventually.

Ravenclaw is the only house I haven't gotten.

I'm Slytherpuff mostly, though. And Thunderbird!

Has anyone taken their Patronus quiz yet? Mine is a tigress.

*sort of bump*
I can't believe that I've only started Harry Potter recently. I wanted to read it, but just didn't have the time/

[Banya]

Welcome, new Potterhead! I hope you're enjoying the books!!

[SilentSam]

I am, thank you! 

[Amarith Waterspring]

How much have you read so far?

[SilentSam]

About half of the first book. The part where... *looks at page* Harry plays the Quidditch match against Slytherin and his broom starts to go crazy.
