HP Discussion Thread #5: If Draco Malfoy had been sorted into Gryffindor, do you think he would have eventually become friends with Harry?
 

Each week, we'll have different questions pertaining to different storylines and characters in all HP books and this thread is all about discussing our opinions on these. Please note the following reminders for this thread:

1. No bashing of characters & actors.
2. Keep criticism constructive (saying this XXX character is stupid is not constructive).
3. Please be on-topic at all times.
4. Please be respectful of everyone's opinions since we won't agree all the time.

Please also note that we can base our discussions on what we truly feel or quote various interviews we've seen or heard or parts from the book to justify our answers.

*This thread is based on the book "Harry Potter Should Have Died"

There's lots to choose from as a career in the wizarding world. Off the top of my head of course Hogwarts professor, Auror, Banker at Gringotts, Minster for Magic, shopkeeper at Diagon Alley, etc.

Thanks for the new thread!

I would work at Diagon Alley even tho I don't think I can deal as banker.. :lol:

Me too, perhaps a shopkeeper at Diagon Alley. It can get pretty busy when there's school but that's alright. I can never have the patience to be a professor. :lol:

And have headache everyday from the students.. No thanks.. :lol:

Right? OMG. My patience will be tested. :lol:

I rememeber back then, I want to become teacher since it was my first major, then one time, I was taking care of 3 girls.. I was like nah, not teacher, so I change it.. :lol:

OMG! Haha, they changed your mind easily huh? :lol:

I don't have that energy to give motivate like that.. No way.. :lol:

Okay we'll do one more week with this topic and then next Sunday, we'll talk about a new one (the one with Potions, just in case I forget). :)

Sure, that's be fine w/ me..

I would be a Muggle Underground agent looking for dark eaters!

^ That's pretty cool! I would like a job like that as well. :lol: :D

I like that one.. :lol:

Right? Kind of like a spy for the wizarding community. Your job is noble too because at least you're looking for Death Eaters. :nod:
