Another Hufflepuff Quiz or Now, back to knitting . . .

Hufflepuff Quiz #2

1 Which is your favorite book in the series (and why)? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because it shows a lot of character growth - these are older teens, now - and the action really moves the plot along. After this book, I think the books get so long that they slow way, way, down. And, I like the Triwizard Tournament and the Yule Ball.

2 If you were taking Owls, which class would you get an E in? Would you get any Ts? Runes, Potions and Charms. I love to read hard things and to cook. And I don't mind making mistakes. I would probably get a T in Arimancy or Flying.

3 Who is your favorite character (or characters) in the Harry Potter series? I like the non-main students the best. Seamus Finnigan - I'd like to know more about him. Or people like Nicholas Flamel or the founders of Hogwarts. Of the main characters, I like Hermione Granger the best.

4 If you had to pick 1 character for a roommate, who would you pick and why? Who'd be your least-favorite to have as a roommate? Susan Bones seems very thoughtful and studious. Pansy Parkinson: I don't actually think we could room together as she is a Slytherin but she is a bully and has a nasty case of self-importance. Plus, she is stupid!

5 Hufflepuffs are a hardworking bunch, but also a bit mischievous. Which Hogwarts professor would you most like to prank, and how would you do it? Oh, Madam Hooch! I'd spread some anti-gravity mist outside her office door and then, from around the corner, I'd yell, "Oh, is that a Silver Arrow?" When she stepped out to investigate, pop, up she goes!

6 Favorite DADA professor? (from the books, Lucius does NOT count :) Remus J. Lupin - knowledgeable and kind.

7 Favorite magical creatures? (Also, if for example you like a certain creature in general, but not how they are represented in the HP canon, feel free to elaborate :)Pixies. Just because they have a bad attitude, doesn't mean that they are bad!

8 What is your favorite food in the HP universe? Which food or foods would you like to try in real life? Do you have any recipes to share with us ;)? I think I'd like Christmas pudding or cake. Also, the Chocolate Frogs. I'd like to try chipolatas in real life.

9 Broom, floo powder, portkey, or magic carpet? Carpet or broom - the slower the better.

10 Since we're Hufflepuffs... Yellow or Black? Black - yellow looks terrible on me! And, at last count, I had seven black turtlenecks, four pairs of black pants and at least 12 pairs of black shoes. And a black winter coat.

Back to Hufflepuff - true and unafraid of toil!

I'm in HSKS Hufflepuff! Go Badgers!
