I've been staying away until I'd finished book 5 and I've done it at last [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'd be Hermione for a day because she's smart and has the two best friends ever. Plus, the ability to do magic [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't know who I would be, but I sure do love these books! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Yeah, I'd probably be Hermione as well, she's smart and I'd love to be able to do magic as well.

I think I would be Ginny because she's smarter than everyone thinks she is and she is part of the action but she can distance herself from it and be involved without being in danger. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think I'd be Dumbledor for a day. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Once I got over the whole switching genders, it would be cool to be that powerful. And I have always wondered what was going on in his head.

I'd wanna be Snape or Lucius Malfoy. I'd love to know what's going with them. Like..why is Snape trusted by Dumbledore and is Lucius really as faithful a Death Eater as we thought? haha, that sounds like a fanfic...but I'd love to get inside their minds..

Oh yeah, Dumbledore hands down. That man knows more than he is letting on.

Plus, I've always wondered (from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), what he meant when he said that he didn't need an invisibility cloak to be invisible. Plus he knows how to go into other people's minds (Legilimency)...I don't know, I think it would be rather cool to find out everything Dumbledore knows....

Dumbledore, for me too. Like Lynea, I've wondered what Dumbledore meant when he said he didn't need an invisibility cloak. Also, exactly what troubled him about Tom Riddle way back when.

And actually, I'd really love to see what Dudley would see with the Dementors. His reaction was quite strong.

I'd like to be Draco as well- to see if he *really* hates Harry, Ron and Hermione as much as he says he does or if he's just jealous. It would be interesting to see why he does the things he does.

What is everyone's fave HP book so far? Mine would be the Prisoner of Azkaban, followed by Order of the Phoenix. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mine too. PoA is my favorite and OotP is my second favorite. I really like finding out more about Harry's parents. And in PoA, we're introduced to James's old best friends and in OotP, we have the penseive (sp?) scene.

And speaking of the penseive scene, who thinks James was just a jerk for doing that to Snape? Or who thinks that it was just because he was 15 yrs old and that he grew out of it?

I think he grew out of it...I hope he grew out of his little "bullying" thing..

I hate to be boring, but I'd like to be Harry. He experiences the magic and the wizard world with genuine joy and surprise, discovering it all for the first time. He has so much awful stuff to contrast it with at the Dursleys. Plus, it would be fun to be the hero. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Like most of you here, my two favourite books are PoA and OoTP.
I [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] PoA the best because I love the new characters introduced (especially Lupin) and I love how it's darker than the other two (especially with the Dementors).
I love OoTP because it explores Harry's feelings and reactions to things more than the other book and also ties up a few loose ends.
I can't wait for the next book [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I don't think James was a jerk for doing that to Snape in OoTP, I think he was just being a typical 15 year old boy.

But Harry is 15 too, and he was appalled.
