dangermousieIt's only now beginning to sink in that the last Harry Potter book will come out this summer and there will be no more. It's been years for me, since I fell in love with Potterverse, merely through the Philosopher's Stone being the only non-baby-book in the department store I worked at during summer break. It was 1999. Wow. A long long time ago. And like everyone, I have a Potter-history. Hooking my best friend on them. Going to three bookstores to get Goblet of Fire. The loooong wait between GoF and OotP (I temporarily even got into Potter-fandom through Sugarquill). Reading OotP after picking it up at midnight, and finishing it on a morning flight to Chicago (we went there for a weekend with Mr. Mousie) and bawling my eyes out as the businessman next to me looked at me in acute puzzlement. I finished the book as the plane landed and started the trip by sleeping for a few hours in the hotel as Mr. Mousie took the book to a park to read. Picking up HBP once again at midnight (and seeing people sprawled on the grass, by gas-station where the light was, because they didn't want to wait even a bit before starting reading). That night I also stayed up and in the morning flew to visit family in Minnesota (my evening flight got delayed until the morning and I was happy because it meant I could pick up HBP). This seems to be a sort of tradition ;)
Yeah, I cried. Again. People would chat me up on the plane and go 'wow, you are that far in already?'
Yeah.
So, I thought I'd do a Potter-centric q and a. As in, I'll give my answers and you give yours.
Favorite HP Book: Half Blood Prince.
Least Favorite: Chamber of Secrets. Or maybe Order of the Phoenix.
Rank them: HBP, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Philosopher's Stone, OoP, CoS.
Favorite main character: Harry Potter himself (I adore Ron and Hermione, but sorry guys...).
Favorite secondary character: Sirius Black
Least favorite character:I don't dislike any of them, except in a 'they are bad guys, must be disliked' fashion, but I confess to Hagrid boring me a bit. Because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
syliasyliasylia reminded me, Dobby. Eek. Ugh. Dobby can get killed in 7th book, I am OK with it.
Favorite Ship: (canon or un, I don't care): Harry/Ginny. Ase4e put it, very filmi. And the whole angsty guy, bubbly girl is my favorite trope.
Unpopular fandom opinion: Draco. Why? The popularity of him will never cease to amaze me. Canon Draco is such unpromising material. Cassandra Claire has a lot to be responsible for.
Harry, live or die: Live. I am an optimist.
Your turn...
