1. Who would your best friend be in each of the four houses and why? Gryff - Hermione -Hermione and I are a lot alike. As a matter of fact, I’ve had several people recently tell me that I’m ‘very-Hermione’. We would hang out in the library together all the time, laugh at how stupid guys can be, and plot to put progressive politics in action, while exchanging random pieces of trivia. We’d pour over books trying to solve the latest mystery to hit Hogwarts, analyze people together (since she did such a good job on Cho), and hang out while all of her other friends are at Quidditch practice. Claw - Luna - Luna is quirky. I tend to get along quite well with quirky people. I also fully believe in paranormal things like ghosts and esp (I’ve had some personal experiences with them), and while Hermione would probably roll her eyes, I could confide in Luna about them and find a common soul. She’s also one of those people who can seem really ditzy or distant at times and then say something out of nowhere with incredible depth and meaning. I too have been known to do this, and I feel we would really get each other. And we would have painting parties! My bestfriend in undergrad and I would do that sometimes, just decorate everything we could find – and from the description of the Lovegood house, it seems she would be willing to do the same. Puff – Susan Bones - We don’t know a lot about Susan, except that she was in the DA and momentarily bonded with Harry over having both developed a gruesome notoriety for losing family at the hands of Voldemort/Death Eaters. However, her aunt was a distinguished member of the Wizengamot, and in my mind, Susan is following a same path. I imagine she’s very studious and concerned with the law and matters of the ministry, something we could really connect over. Syltherin – Little Snape - Oh, I wish JK had portrayed some more diverse Slytherins in Harry’s year. I imagine I would have gotten along well with Snape before he got into dark magic. My few friends and I in high school were the nerdy, bookish, outsider-type, which it seems would have fit him perfectly. Once he started dabbling in the dark arts, however, our friendship would not have lasted .
2. Who would you not get along with in each of the four houses and why? Gryff – Lavender Brown Quite honestly, I’ve never gotten along with flighty, ditzy, girls. And that is how her character has always come across to me. Ravenclaw – Marietta Edgecomb I understand why she felt the pressure to go to Umbridge – but to betray all of her friends and fellow classmates like she did was just unacceptable. Puff – Zacharias Smith Condescending, critical, and abrasive. I have a hard time seeing how anyone could get along with him. Slytherin – Gregory Goyle He’s mean-spirited and a follower. At least Crabbe used his own (ill-fated) mind to create the fiendfyre. Goyle lived to do Malfoy’s bidding. And, as it seems he excelled at learning the cruciatus curse so much, he really enjoyed hurting others too.
3. What do you enjoy most about hogwartsishome? My absolute favorite part of HiH is having somewhere to debate and discuss the HP series, with people who are equally as passionate about it as I. I haven’t been able to participate in as many of the debates or discussions as I would have liked, but I’ve loved the ones I have.
