Try the pumpkin juice? Probably not.
Miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? Yes.
Dare to ride on a broom? Sure.
Have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Divination. I think it's fasinating.
Be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? No.
Rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Owl.
Like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? I don't play sports. :)
Have problems writing with a quill? Most likely. I have problems with a pencil sometimes. lol.

[medens-lupus.livejournal.com]

try the pumpkin juice? I never developed the taste for pumkin pie, so I imagine no to the juice either.
miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?Like i'd miss my stomach
dare to ride on a broom?I have very little coordination on ground, but maybe i'd be great on a broom. I'd probably try it once, just to see first.
have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Charms, definately. That's why I head the club. :)
be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?Flitwick, he seems to really love his subject and the students.
rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?Even though I'm not a big bird person, i've always had a soft spot for owls
like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?I am the anti-jock.
have problems writing with a quill?Probably at first, but I'd get used to it

[shecrows.livejournal.com]

Hah, awesome questions.

...try the pumpkin juice?
I don't think I'd like it, but yeah, 'course I'd try it.

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?
Ahahah. Well, I'd like to say that no, being at Hogwarts would be so amazing that I'd be able to leave all of that behind, but I'm sure I'd miss my compy eventually. ;x

...dare to ride on a broom?
GOD, YES. It's not even a question. When I was younger, my biggest dream was to be able to fly; I'd wish for it every chance I got - every "first star," every wishing well, every fountain, whatever. So, yeah. It'd be a little girl's dream come true.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
Hrm. If by particular interest you just mean a class that I'd particularly like, out of all the rest, I can only guess. I think I'd really enjoy Defense Against the Dark Arts, because it's so practical and exciting, too. Useful, obviously. Charms, too; I think it'd be my favorite class, because charms are what you'd use most often in every day life, and there's such a variety to learn. I also think I'd like Potions a lot, because I love that it's so mathematical and precise - that one little flaw in the process could totally screw up your end result.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
Eh I used to be a teacher's pet when I was a little girl, bwahah, but not anymore. Not really, anyway. I get along with my teachers, so we usually have a pretty good teacher-student relationship, but I don't suck up or anything.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
Probably a cat. An owl would be nice, too, for mail and stuff, but I'd be fine with using one of the school's. I love cats, and I'd much rather have a pet that I could cuddle up with in the common room.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
Uh...like what? xD No other wizarding sports really come to mind, but no, probably not, because I've never really been a sports person.

...have problems writing with a quill?
Oh, yeah. I'd be absolutley hopeless for the first couple of days. Eventually, I'd get the hang of it, though.

...try the pumpkin juice? probably not...
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? yes, I am so dependent on my computer it's pathetic...:)
...dare to ride on a broom? probably not...I'm terrified of heights.
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? History of Magic I'd have to say. I'm a history nut and I love it all...
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Professor Binns...because he's the history professor.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? a cat. Even though I'm terribly allergic to cats...I have two at home.
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? no, I'm not much of a sports fan...I like to watch them, just not play
...have problems writing with a quill? Yeah, I probably would have trouble.

[jmpovrthemoon23.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? Most definitely! My friends and I always bake Harry Potter goodies for the book/movie opeinings and we tried to make pumpkin juice before, both times were unseccessful. The first time it was really soupy (it was some weird recipe) and the second time we tried squeezing actual bits of pumpkin, but apparently pumpkins don't have much juice. So I finally bought the pumpkin juice making kit from KB Toys and so needless to say, I am very excited for the book opening to come so I can try it out! (Sorry this answer is so long...)

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? At first, but I think with all the excitement of the wizarding world I'd get over it.
...dare to ride on a broom? YES! I want to so badly, I would definitely be trying out for Quidditch.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? I think Charms, Potions, and Transfiguration all sound particularly interesting. They all have fun qualities. Charms is cool cause you make things fly and get to say funky words, Potions interests me just because it is the typical "witch" thing. Ya know, brewing a potion, etc. and I have always been into witches since I was little. And then Transfiguration, I would want to do well at because I think becoming an Animagus sounds so exciting!

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? McGonagal. I like her. She makes me laugh and she is the kind of teacher that I would want to please.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? An owl. Because where else can you own an owl?!

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? It would depend on the sport I suppose.

...have problems writing with a quill? Most likely at first. But after a while I think I'd get the hang of it.

[boley.livejournal.com]

try the pumpkin juice? I always imagined itd taste kinda like Chai, so yeah, I think Id drink it.
miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?Well, yes and no. I think Id be having so much fun with all the magical stuff, that Id pretty soon forget about electric stuff
dare to ride on a broom?Hell yeah!! That would toooo much fun
have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?I think Id dig transfiguration...turning things into other things would be super fun (although probably kinda useless)..
be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? I think Id have a nice love/hate relationship with Mcgonigal. The way she acts towards the trio is exactly how one of my teachers acted towards me in high school. She always was hard on me, and gave me alot of shit, but in the end, I knew that she meant well...
rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Definitely an owl.
like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Heck yeah, I could only hope theyd have more sports than just quidditch... Id like to play that too though. I think Id love being a beater..hehehe...
have problems writing with a quill? Im sure I would. I think itd get annoying after awhile too...

That was fun!! Good questions!! :-D

[zentraedi-shep.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? already have... (tastes disgusting!)
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? no, I don't think so...
...dare to ride on a broom? definitely yes!!!
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Hm, perhaps DADA or Charms... The wizarding world seems to be a very dangerous place, and I think those subject are the most preapring ones...
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Huh??!?
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? None of them, I think, because I don't like toads, simply hate cats and could never afford an owl... Can I bring a poisonous dart frog or a gecko, though? ;)
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Broomracing! I feel the need, the need for speed!!!
...have problems writing with a quill? Nope, a rpg group I once played in decided to give me a bag full of feathers and a bottle of ink as a x-mas gift... guess what I was supposed to do with that...

[tangerinesidhe.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice?: Absolutely! I am a huge fan of pumpkin, so it's always sounded divine to me. :)

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? I don't have a mobile, so no worries there. I watch quite a lot of tv, but I've gone without it and been just fine. The one thing I'd really miss would be my computer and my digital camera.

...dare to ride on a broom? Sure. I've always wanted to be able to fly. And I've always wanted to try riding a broom.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Probably Trannsfiguration. I really love the idea of turning something into something else. Most likely I'd love all of my classes though. I'm a nerd like that--learning new and interesting things makes me happy. And yes, I'd probably even like History of Magic classes.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Possibly Dumbledore. I have a tendency to develop strong connections with the quirky genius type teachers. Honestly, in high school I was the pet of many teachers, it's just in my nature. Even when I was trying to be rebellious, I *still* ended up being one of those pet sort of students.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? I absolutely adore my kitties, and it seems like pet care would be much easier in the magical world, so I'll stick with them. Imagine being able to scourgify the cat box instead of having to scoop! An owl would be more practical, but the school has plenty that I could borrow to send letters or parcels. So, I'll opt for something furry that will curl up on my lap and purr.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? I don't know. It would probably depend on how competitive they were. I'm not the most athletic of people, so I'd rather do something "for fun" than for competition. (even though I'm likely to be competitive, even if it is for fun).

...have problems writing with a quill? Nope. I've written with a quill before. It's not so bad. Oh, except that writing anything by hand tends to be problematic for me, because I have tendonitis. If I write for too long my hand cramps up, and it's quite painful.

[gracelessiv.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice?
Try it, yes, like it? No.

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?
I'm faaaar too dependent on my electronics. I'm sitting on my computer, TV on mute beside me, cell phone and CD-Player in front of me. My digital camera died, and the way I go on about it, you'd think I died with it!

...dare to ride on a broom?
Ooo. Tricky.. I'm terrified of heights, but I think the coolness of being essentially weightless would override that.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
Probably Magical History or Transfiguration, because those subjects interest me right now.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
I'd probably wind up the Librarian's pet if anything. I have a phobia of interacting with teachers.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? An owl.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Prolly not.

...have problems writing with a quill? Nope! Learned how when I was younger as part of a historical society thing. I <3 my quill.

[rabidchild23.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice?
Yeah. I'll try anything once.
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? Tv maybe, but only if I was lonely and din't make friends.
...dare to ride on a broom?
Heck yeah! I'm uncoordinated but the thrill is worth the risk. Besides, Pmfrey can fix anything.
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
Transfiguration. It's just fascinating how much you can do and i think physical change is cool.
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
Probably McGonigal or Snape. I tend to like the harder classes and buddy up to the less popular teachers. Besides, Snape and I have a lot in common.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
Owl. I'm allergic to cats and toads are..well..unresponsive.
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
nope. sports aren't really my thing.
...have problems writing with a quill? Nope. I'm fairly well practiced :)

[ascendingflame.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? Probably yes, although I'm not sure if I'd like it. I'd have to try it, though :)
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? Nope! Not if I got into Hogwarts at the age of 11. I guess there'd be too much to do at Hogwarts to really miss any of that.
...dare to ride on a broom? Definitely!
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Charms because it seems the most useful class. Defense Against the Dark Arts just because it sounds cool :D Well, actually, most classes sound interesting...
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Possibly *smirks*
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? A cat! I love cats! And you can always borrow one of the school owls. And a toad? Naw, that's.... disgusting!
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Nope.
...have problems writing with a quill? Nope. Why would I?

Good point. I wasn't really attached to the internet, cell phones, and my walkman until a couple of years ago.

[vardaofstars.livejournal.com]

try the pumpkin juice? probably not. i'm not a big fan of pumpkin anything.
miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? yes. i'd miss my computer. maybe not though, hogwarts might just be so amazing that i wouldn't miss it, but i doubt that. i'm an addict ;)
dare to ride on a broom? YES! Holy crap yes. That would be the first thing I would want to do.
have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?Probably Astronomy. I'm super interested in it as a muggle anyway, so I think it'd be fascinating to look at it from a different perspective.
be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? probably not
rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Cat. I'd borrow someone else's owl for mail and such. I prefer cats over almost any animal.
like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Running, if you consider that a sport. I'd probably take a morning jog around the quidditch pitch or something, just for fun.
have problems writing with a quill? i had a quill once. i thought it was really cool. i'd probably be retarded at it at first and there would be ink blobs all over my paper, but oh well :)

[bend-my-spoon.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? Absolutley!!
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? I'd miss text msg.'s
...dare to ride on a broom? SURE!!!
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? umm..DADA because I hate being unprepared and this would prepare me.
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Nah.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Owl because they are nifty
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Running?
...have problems writing with a quill? Most likley

[ohelectricshock.livejournal.com]

haha, have I ever thought about what it would be like to go there ;)

...try the pumpkin juice? For sure! I love pumpkin...mmm...pumpkin

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? Not TV or a mobile, as I don't own one. But I would go insane without my computer, digital camera, or CD player. But I think the idea of doing magic would definitely overwrite those losses, haha.

...dare to ride on a broom? For sure!

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Defense Against the Dark Arts or Transfiguration. I love the idea of learning handy hexes and jinxes to defend myself, while learning about magical creatures, and with Transfiguration, turning something into something else would be infinitely awesome.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Hmm I'm not sure. I would have to thoroughly analyze which teachers like having a teacher's pet, and play up to that to get better grades, hee.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Owl, for sure. They're so versatile!

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Hmm I'd have to see what other kinds of wizarding sports there were. But if dancing is included, then that for sure. Although I WOULD like to play Quidditch.

...have problems writing with a quill? HAHA I can't imagine myself writing with a quill.. All I can see is ink going all over my hands, poking myself in the eye...getting food on the feather..oh boy the possibilites are endless.

Ally//Gryffindor

[i-will.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? Yeah, sure, why not? I love pumpkin pie. Although juice sounds a little odd, it probably wouldn't be all that bad. The characters in the books enjoy it at any rate.
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? I would miss CD players/.mp3 players. I love music and the thought of being without it is... scary, to say the least. Unless there is some wizarding equipment that would allow one to play muggle music that hasn't been mentioned (besides Lupin's victrola. I don't own any LPs).
...dare to ride on a broom? Oh, yeah, definitely! I've always wanted to fly and this would be the coolest way to do so.
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? One thing I don't like about wizarding school is that there doesn't seem to be any art program. I'm an artist with a great interest in art history, so maybe I'd enjoy History of Magic? Charms looks like fun.
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? I seem to become teacher's pets unintentionally. I think I give off a "quiet intellectual" vibe and teachers are drawn to that. McGonagall'd probably love me.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? A cat. I have two already, but I only like one of them. I'm a dog person, really. I wouldn't mind having a rat, either. Scabbers was my favorite character until book 3. No, really.
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? I'm not a sports person. Although I love fencing. I could get into dueling. Gentleman's sport and all that.
...have problems writing with a quill? Definitely. Quill ink doesn't dry immediately, and I'm left-handed. When I was in middle school I had those erasable pens. The ink in those doesn't dry immediately either. My whole paper would be gray by the end of class because I drag my hand across the page. I like quills and think they're elegant and all, but my writing with them would be illegible.

I seem to become teacher's pets unintentionally. I think I give off a "quiet intellectual" vibe and teachers are drawn to that. McGonagall'd probably love me.

I know how you feel. Isn't it so much fun?

[vampirehobbit.livejournal.com]

try the pumpkin juice?
Probably only after a lot of coaxing, I'm very fussy about what I ingest, and I've never really liked the look of pumpkins anyway, as far as potential food goes.

miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?
Hell yes! I'd miss the internet, and my DVD player! I'd go so crazy if I couldn't watch movies

dare to ride on a broom?
I'd be the first one to hop on! I love that sort of thing, and I've always had a bit of an obsession with the idea of flying, so I'd be more than willing to use a broom. I love a good adrenaline rush, as long as I'm in control.

have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
I always thought I'd be rather good at Potions, because I'm not half bad at cooking (if I do say so myself), and they really don't seem to be so very different. I also think I'd be good at Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Agains the Dark Arts- mostly because I was always into mythology as a kid and I already knew what most of the things Harry and Co. were facing were when I read the books. I felt very Hermione-ish reading it.

be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
I'm a born teacher's pet, don't ask me why, but almost every teacher I've ever had has liked me- even teachers who didn't teach me liked me. I recently had one of my ex-kindergarten teachers recognise me after more than 10 years (I'm 17). So, I tend to do well with teachers without really trying, but I think I'd do pretty well with McGonagall or Lupin

rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
I'd have a cat, I absolutely love cats!

like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
Um... I'm not really a sporty person, but the parody of fencing the movies used for the duelling club made me want to try that (I used to fence).

have problems writing with a quill?
Nope, it looks quite similar to a fountain pen, which is the only thing I ever bother writing with- can't use normal pens, they look terribly messy.

[arienettelondon.livejournal.com]

...I'd try it, but I doubt I'd like it. I dont like pumpkin much at all, and I really can't imagine how you'd make juice out of pumpkins that could taste good in any way shape or form

...I'd miss the internet. No, really. I'm that pathetic. I dont watch TV that much, my mobile/cell phone is broken, and I only really use to computer for the internet.

...yes. I imagine it'd be one of the things I'd enjoy most about wizarding life. I love skiing and ice skating and heights and rollercoasters, and I always imagined flying to be a mix of these.

...Probably transfiguration actually. Turning things into other things appeals to me. Charms would be useful too.

...Hmmm. I'm the type of student that frustrates teachers. I'm not stupid, and occasionally I let it show, and alot of the time I understand things quicker than my classmates, but on the other hand, I'm lazy, and I'll put more energy into doing some tangent-thing that I find interesting than the actual work. Snape would probably almost loathe me, because in chemistry I would always invent my own experiments when we were given chemicals to play with.

...I love cats, but owls are more useful...but cats can snuggle up with you....hmmm. Ok, a cat, put not a normal one. If Hermione can have a kneazle then I can have a cat with powers.

...I'd be interested, I was the kind of person in school who was always campaigning for something, supporting the underdog simply to be contrary. I'd probably pick a sport and manically campaign for it to get more attention or something. Or I'd invent a sport. Midnight Astronomy Tower Horizontal Dance anyone?

...No. I have a quill which I write letters with, so it wouldn't be a problem.

wow, long anwsers! Sorry!

[rushofsilence.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice?
Sure, I would try it. There isn't much that I won't try at least once. But I don't think I'll like it too much. I hate chai- all I can think about when I drink it is raw pumpkin pie filling. Ewwy!

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?
If I went to Hogwarts at the age of 11, then probably not as much if I went now. Though I would miss my music. But then again, wizards must have some sort of radio or music playing devices. How else would everyone know that they liked the Weird Sisters before they came to Hogwarts?

...dare to ride on a broom?
Definitely! And it wouldn't be long until I tested how fast I can go, just like my car. Plus, the fact that I can magically healed would encourage me to do even more stupider/daring things. ::Looks down at my huge scar on my leg and thinks of my car accident:: I wish I could have been magically healed then.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
It's hard to tell. It would all depend on what I have a knack for, and how I get along with my teachers. I'm naturally good natured and normally get along fine with teachers, but if I don't like the teacher or hate their teaching style, I'm bound to flunk. For instance, math has always been my best subject. However, last year (senior year) in precal, I had a terrible teacher, and ended up stop showing up to classes in the second quarter and finished the year with a 40 average. That's horrible.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
As I said above, I'm just good natured. I'm nice to people, almost all the time, I can't help it. Even those people who have crossed me in the pass, I'm nice to them on the surface. So I tend to be good with teachers, because I'm nice to them.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
Um, I'm a huge cat person, but I don't know if I would bring one to hogwarts. My cat would die if it didn't go out doors, and I'm not sure how that really works. They can't have everyone's pets just running around Hogwarts- it wouldn't work. First off, someones bound to be allergic. Second, cats fight, alot. So I would think that the cats aren't aloud out of the common rooms (except for Hermione's, because she's in the golden trio, so they can do what ever the hell they want). Therefore, I wouldn't take my cat. I would get an owl instead.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
What over wizard sports are there? Besides that, I'm sure I would just do normal activities, like soccer (or it would be football there) and volleyball, but are those avalible?

...have problems writing with a quill?
I have never used a quill before, but I have writen with a calligraphy pen, which is pretty close. I have this terrible problem- I'm a lefty. It kinda sucks, sometimes, as your hand drags over wet ink. However, I'm sure they have developed instant drying ink by now ^.^ If they have, then I would be all set.

Jessie ♥ Slytherin

Re: wow, long anwsers! Sorry!

[maegwin-of-hern.livejournal.com]

I don't think such muggle sports as football / soccer and volleyball are unknown in the wizarding world. Ron reacts so sceptically when he sees Dean's poster, remember? "It's not on broomsticks?" JKR does say that there are other magical sports besides Quidditch, but she never mentions any :( But honestly, I cannot imagine that the only people in Hogwarts who get to do some physical exercise are the Quidditch teams? That's just 28 students out of how many hundreds?

[pfc-rat.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice?
Why not? You only live once.

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?
If I could be doing magic instead? Hardly.

...dare to ride on a broom?
The first opportunity I got

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?
Herbology, DADA, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, History

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
Probably, and most likely all of them.

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
Owl - they're cooler and far more useful.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
Yeah, dueling >:)

...have problems writing with a quill?
Nope, I do calligraphy as a hobby already and have several good quills of my own.

[awesomeness.livejournal.com]

...try the pumpkin juice? sure....why not? i've tried tons of other weird things and there's always room for more! my sister made it once. i would have tried it and all...if it weren't for the bug that landed in it.

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? since it starts at 11, no. of course i watched tv and what not when i was younger, but i also was more active too. i didn't get attached to all this techincal stuffs until a couple years ago. hell, we didn't even have a computer or the internet until i was 17!

...dare to ride on a broom? heck yes i would! what could be cooler than flying? well, flying in the sense that if i crash, it would be my own fault and not some pilot. i'd want to play some quidditch too *yay* i heart sports.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? i would probably like DADA followed by herbology. what could be cooler than learning how to defend yourself? sure, people can defend you too but who says there always gonna be there? and herbology just because i heart nature. plus, i suck at chemistry so potions would be out of the question.

...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? ummm, probably not. i mean with fred and george around....who could behave?! definitely not me ;) unless being a teacher's pet got me out of detentions and what not...then sure. but then again, i would never be able to compete with hermione. ahhahahaha

...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? probably a cat since i heart them so much! *yay* plus, if i wanted to send mail, i could always borrow someone else's owl

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? sure, if i was awesome at them. ahahhahahaha. but i would have to see what else they have to offer. i might as well trying everything at least once or i would be wasting my time on this planet :) as for less magical games i like softball/baseball, soccer, and basketball.

...have problems writing with a quill? nope, i actually have a quill i got back in the day from a school field trip. of course it would be a pain in the arse to be dipping that thing every three seconds but when you have to write, you have to write. i would sneak some pens in though :D plus, i see they have pencils now (well from the GoF pics...but still!) although those parchment scrolls look like a looooot of writing >

...try the pumpkin juice? Yes. I give anything a go. :o Otherwise, how do you know what you like and don't like?
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? Just my iPod. I absolutely cannot live without music.
...dare to ride on a broom? Yes
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Yeah. Charms. Just because 1) I love Flitwick and 2) Charms is amazing, from what the books say.
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? Nah. Not my style. If teacher's like me, then they like me...I won't go out of my way.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? Owl
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Probably? I don't know. I think Quidditch would be wicked fun, though.
...have problems writing with a quill? Yeah, but then probably get used to it. :o

...try the pumpkin juice? Why not? I love pumpkin pie with cinnamon and sugar, so pumpkin juice should taste just as good. ^^
...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? I don't own a mobile, I barely watch TV, and I'm not into many technical devices besides my computer. So, no, I wouldn't consiering I'd be busy trying to pass my classes.
...dare to ride on a broom? SURE! I love speed and the wind in my hair. ^^
...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Probably something like Potions or Transfiguration. It's easier for me to learn with things you can see and learn from by example. I have a photographic memory, after all.
...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why? No. I'd rather be the kid in the back of the class no one notices unless that kid speaks up.
...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl? A cat, because it's soft and fluffy and kyuuute. ^^
...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch? Well, if Dueling was considered a sport, I'd definitely go with thqat of Quidditch.
...have problems writing with a quill? No ,but I don't think the teacher would be able to read my handwriting. It sucks even with a pencil. o_o

Ewwwww pumpkin juice. Never. I think that would be a real problem for me cos there seems to be nothing else.

Damn hell yeah. I'd miss my PC and email, I mean, come on, keeping in contact with your friends by *owls*...?

Nobody could ever get me on a broomstick. I'd just fake I'm sick or have a wood allergy ^^

I'd totally dig Transfiguration. It's so creative :D

I'm not a teacher's pet person, so no. Maybe Lupin because he's so kind, I'd even have him in second class because I was born one year after Harry.

I'd have a cat but at that time I think I wouldn't have been allowed to get one ;) our old cat came to us when I was in coming-to-Hogwarts-age and without me being there she probably would have never had a chance to become our cat. So to keep in contact with their precious, my parents would have bought me a boring owl for sure. Maybe I'd have bought a cat later and sold my owl on ebay ^^

Sports....? Bwahaha...

Yes. I'm a slob and would have stained all my sleeves. I'd smuggle in biros or inkpens as soon as I could.

try the pumpkin juice?

Ew. No. I like pumpkin pie but not pumpkin juice.

miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind?

I live on my computer *_* I couldn't part with it

dare to ride on a broom?

I think it's hurt my...eh you know <<;;;

have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why?

Yeah, I mean thats natural. Everyone has some interest in a class.

be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?

Nah, I don't think so ^^'

rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?

Well, I have 19 cats at home at the moment. My dad heats toads, so he'd never let me get one. I'd say Owl. But then I'd love to take one of my cats with me to Hogwarts. I couldn't decide =(

like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?

Badminton on broomsticks? ^_^

have problems writing with a quill?

Definitely..I would hate dipping it over and over and over. I'm even so used to MWord I hate writing with regualr pencils and pens

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

If you - that is, the "Real-Life You" - were at Hogwarts, would you...


Well, setting aside for the moment that I'm old enough to be a professor, not a student...


...try the pumpkin juice? Hells yeah. I love trying new foods, and I'm fond of pumpkin.

...miss your mobile / TV / electrical devices of any kind? I'd probably wig out a little without internet access.

...dare to ride on a broom? I'd at least try it. Cautiously.

...have a particular interest in a certain class? If so, why? Both Potions and Herbology would interest me strongly; I'm into herbalism IRL and at one point had a pantry full of various tinctures and concoctions for any minor ailment. I got an astonished stare from the tour guide on a walking tour of Chinatown in San Francisco when we stopped in an apothecary and I recognized most of the ingredients in one of the medicinal kits, including exactly what species the dried lizard was (a Tokay gecko, pretty but bad-tempered little buggers).


...be a teacher's pet? If so, who'd be the teacher and why?
Most of my teachers found me utterly exasperating, because I'd get utterly absorbed in the lessons that interested me, and ignore the ones that didn't (when I wasn't writing deliberately provocative essays, like the one touting Malthusian ideals in a history class with a teacher I loathed), and go on to ace all my exams. My high school AP Bio and AP Chemistry teachers both had a sort of fond frustration with me, because I did well in class, was careful and thorough in labs, and just flat-out got the lessons, but blew off most of the homework.

All I can imagine as an answer to this question is a repeat of the shocked dismay my AP Biology teacher (who was startled enough that I was taking her class as a freshman, it was mainly juniors) had when she found out I was in our magnet school's performing arts cluster when I so clearly "belonged" in the scientific branch; I can see a similar scene with Snape going off over my intense study of tarot and barely need to change any of the words.


...rather have a toad, a cat or an owl?
*looks at the four cats dwelling in my secluded hovel* I'm all about the felines.

...like to do any other kind of sports besides Quidditch?
I don't do sports.

...have problems writing with a quill?
Oh, yes, bigtime. I've tried to learn calligraphy a few times and it was laughable.
