Hogsmeade Weekends - June 23rd, 2007

23 June 2007 @ 01:01 am

So I'm looking for a new RPG, and I know some of you are into it. I do play over at

hih_thegame already, but I'm really looking for something trio era.

Anyway, I thought Hogsmeade Weekend would be a great place to find a game or for games those of you with games to recruit.

Yes? No? Maybe So?

You know those cool lists on iTunes where you can see the "playlist" of your favorite celebrity?

What would your favorite HP character's playlist be like?

Are there any MuggleCast fans out there? What are your favorite MC moments? Who is your favorite Mugglecaster? Have you ever been to a live podcast?

Feel free to answer the same for PotterCast or any other HP podcasts.

Music Inspired By Harry Potter

I just recently discovered the music stylings of Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys. Have you listened to any of their music? What are your favorite songs? Why? Are there other Harry Potter tribute bands out there? Give us some names and websites, please! :)

Scar - A Bulwer-Lytton Contest Inspired Post

Rowling has often said that the last word of the final book will be scar. I'd like us to try and come up with that last sentence.

However, instead of it being the most likely or best written sentence, I'd like you to come up with the worst sentence possible in the tradition of The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

This is an activity for everyone - not just people who thing they are good writers - because the whole idea is to write a very bad sentence!

( About the Contest: It was a dark and stormy night... )

Instead of doing the "Predict what will happen in the last book...", lets have fun and predict what wouldn't happen. Go as crazy as you want!

(You never know...the one crazy thing that you thought would never happen
might actually come true!)

Have you ever had an experience in Real Life that reminded you of Harry Potter?

For Instance:

"You're standing by a road, and some vehicle you didn't see whips by you very fast, and all you can think is, 'The Knight Bus?!'"

Who dressed up for the last Harry Potter movie and/or book release? Who's planning on dressing up for the next ones? Share your pictures from the last releases and/or plans for the next set of releases!!!

Which Weasley? Hogsmeade Edition

So, I was surfing a stock image site and came across this picture. My immediate question was, "Which Weasley is that?" I thought that y'all might like to try and answer that question. (Surely I'm not the only one!) So, without further ado, I present you with Round 1 (I've got more of these lined up if anyone is interested) of Which Weasley?!!!

Which Weasley: Hogsmeade Edition
Here we see a Weasley with an apparently broken down Muggle car chilling while his female companion gazes in the distance. How did he get here? Who is his female companion? More importantly, which Weasley is he and why?

Haunted house and ghost stories

I was just wondering...
Shrieking shack is supposedly 'haunted'. Is there any haunted places you know of? Or any ghost stories anyone would like to share?

I know the State Library in Melbourne is haunted. People have seen a woman/girl standing at the staircase before. I think the Princess theater is haunted too. Though not violent ghosts.

Hey look a character/sorting meme! *throws confetti*

I love this one! And yay for being McGonagall. I totally adore her! :)

As Minerva McGonagall, your strict facade is complimented by a warm heart, and you always do what is for the greater good.

We all love icons and HP icons are awesome, so let's communicate through them!

Try and go as many comments between as many people as you want just by responding with any HP icon that can apply! They can be house pride ones, text ones that relate, or just HP ones from movies.

Feel free to go wild! And if you think a sig tag would work better? Or some type of picture? Post that too!

If you are just using icons though, make sure your name and house are in the comment.

Sorting Hat Curiousness

It appears that the Sorting Hat has had a rough day. However, it claims that if you only look deeper you will see that everyone was sorted as they should be. I'm not sure if I believe the Sorting Hat, but it usually does have a reason for putting people in a particular house. So, what is it? Pick one, pick two, or do them all :)

Students Sorted - House They Were Sorted Into

Lucius Malfoy - Gryffindor
Draco Malfoy - Ravenclaw
Harry Potter - Hufflepuff
Hermione Granger - Slytherin
Severus Snape - Hufflepuff
Neville Longbottom - Ravenclaw
The Weasleys - Slytherin
Tom Riddle - Gryffindor
Luna Lovegood - Gryffindor

Here's a HiH question for you:

Which of the application questions was toughest for you to answer?

For anyone who's forgotten, the application is over here.

As for me, the question about designing a spell/potion/charm took me the longest to answer. I think it was tough because it's really rather difficult to come up with something that no one has thought of before. I probably spent the better part of an hour trying to think of an answer to that question that didn't sound completely stupid. x)

What about you guys?

I haven't gone digging through the last eight-hundred-thousand posts this weekend, so I apologize if this is a double post. :D

What are your favorite Potter-verse words? What words do you just looooooooove reading//saying//singing//acting out in mime//etc? :D

Mine are "lumos", "sonorous", "Filius Flitwick" (YAY ALLITERATION!!), "bat-bogey" (I really like alliteration...) and "Incarcerous". :D

Discuss. :)

My answer to the question of Harry Potter characters being babies made me think...

Based on personality, if the characters were animals, what animals do you think they would be? Pick some of your favourites or least favourites, and let us know what you think!

I don't -think- I've seen this asked today.

It's the beginning of a new school year, and you're exited about it! Well, hopefully. You take the train to Hogwarts, as always, but when you and the other students exit the train...there is no one there to greet you. Hogwarts is empty; the ghosts are gone, the portraits are vacant, and there are no teachers to be found.

Nobody has an explanation. What do -you- think happened? Be as detailed as you wish!

If you could be a part of any wizarding family, which family would you choose and why?

As much as I dislike Draco, I think I would want to be in the Malfoy family. It seems like the environment would be peaceful, and I could beat on my younger brother Draco and teach him not to be so damned whiny.

Though some of the wizards are familiar with Muggle life, some are not.

What Muggle item would you like to see a wizard attempt to use? Which wizard? What do you think would happen if he/she tried?

So your owl delivers your mail and you open the Daily Prophet. A slip of parchment falls onto your lap. It's a coupon!

Free Spell!!!
Choose One (1) of Three (3) Fantastic, Useful Spells!
participants in Donegal please send a sample of dirt from your garden with coupon.

Well, Gee. A free spell! Who can resist! Inside it lists the three (3) spells.

_Albinus Rootoid! (turns carrots into parsnips)

_Percentius Fibrous! (turns 25% wool yarn into 26% wool yarn)

_Strandimaos Canitus! (causes pesky cat hairs in your home to turn into dog hairs)

So, which one would you choose?

On your way to your next class, you suddenly find yourself the victim of a binding curse. Before you have a chance to react, you are whisked away in a magical manner.

When your captor reaches his or her destination, you are tossed onto the floor. Forcing your way onto your back, you find yourself face-to-face with a Death Eater.

If you attempt to fight the Death Eater, despite your binding, turn to page 61.

If you wait for this Death Eater to address you, turn to page 5.

...what do you do?

What are your pet peeves about the HP fandom?

Personally, I grind my teeth at the people who are so concerned about spoilers that they go batshit if anyone even mentions the title of the book. I mean, what are they going to do? Buy the book with their eyes shut so they can't see the front cover?

Two unrelated questions:

What was the last movie/miniseries/TV show that you saw a Harry Potter cast member in? Was it any good?

Me: I saw Jason Isaacs in The State Within, which was a BBC/BBC America miniseries in which he played the UK's ambassador to the US. It was really, really excellent and he was wonderful in it

------------------------------

I asked this in

thequestionclub and I thought the answers were pretty fun.

We all know that Hogwarts' motto is Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus. Does your school (high school/university/whatever) have a motto? What is it? (And translation, preferably!)

My college: Pietate et Doctrina Tuta Libertas (Piety and Learning are the Bulwark of Liberty)

My grad school: Hinc lucem et pocula sacra (From here, light and sacred draughts)

This is about the -adults- in the Harry Potter world.

There is a party going on at a private location. All of the teachers of Hogwarts are invited, and there is plenty of alcohol present.

Who gets drunk and causes a scene? Who stays off to the side and tries to ignore the chaos? Feel free to answer these questions, or make up your own scenarios.

Think about a parody/skit show like MAD TV, or Saturday Night Live. Then think about the Harry Potter characters.

What kind of skit could you see the characters doing...and which characters would be doing it? Include the character names and their roles in the piece.

Hey guys, I've been re-watching the movies lately so I've got a question regarding those: what book scenes were cut out of the movies that really ticked you off, or what scenes would you have REALLY loved to see in the films that weren't?

I was just wondering...

What kind of religions do you think exist in the wizarding world? Do you think they share any beliefs with the Muggles?

I think that either way, Voldemort is an atheist and his followers believe in Voldemortism. XD
