Thursday is Tag Day – Harry Potter

Last week I decided to share a Disney tag with you, so this week I wanted it to be Harry Potter. I searched and searched, but the internet has a poor quality of Harry Potter tags. However luckily I found this one, which is a sort of “which would you rather” tag! If you’d like to, please feel free to do it and I’d love to read your answers so leave a comment with your link!

Would you rather go to prom with Harry, Draco or Ron?

My initial reaction is to say Ron, though I imagine a night with Draco would definitely be fun. I’ve always struggled to turn down the bad boy in favour of the nice but nerdy, so there would be a conflict of emotions I’m sure. However Ron wins out, for sure. He’s always the underdog but I think he’s one of the best characters that exist in Harry Potter.

Would you rather be sorted into Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin?

I’ve always joked with people that I would be like Harry Potter, and the Sorting Hat would have a dilemma as to which house I should be placed in – Gryffindor or Slytherin. However, just like Harry Potter, if I got to pick, I would definitely say Gryffindor. Yes I’d like to be bad occasionally, I’d also like to be nerdy and belong in Ravenclaw sometimes. However my heart is Gryffindor and it’s there I’d want to be sorted into.

Would you rather explore the Forbidden Forest or the halls of Hogwarts?

This is a no-brainer for me. Yes I can be brave, but I don’t throw myself into scary situations on purpose. Exploring Hogwarts would be a dream come true – all those corridors and hidden places. I’d much rather be walking around the castle and seeing everything there is to see, than scaring myself stupid in the Forbidden Forest.

Would you rather enroll in Potions, Charms, Divination or Defence Against The Dark Arts?

Having run Deckleswood for years and years, I’m sure my few on this is a little biased. I love the idea of being all kick-ass and knowing DADA, but also knowing Charms would be fun. Even Divination has a place in my heart, so I think I’d realistically like to do all three of those! The only one I wouldn’t be that bothered about is Potions – and if I was really forced to pick just one of the other three, then I’d say Defence Against the Dark Arts for sure.

Would you rather buy an owl, cat, rat or toad?

Practically, I’d say neither. I am so NOT an animal person. I don’t like the responsibility of looking after them, feeding them, cleaning them etc. However, in the Harry Potter world, I guess an Owl requires the least commitment? I certainly wouldn’t want a rat or a toad, so I’ll go with an owl. They can be sort of cute… I guess.

Would you rather have in your possession: the elder wand, resurrection stone, or the cloak of invisibility?

The Elder Wand and Resurrection Stone seem a little too dangerous for me – so like Harry Potter, I think I’d just stick to the cloak of invisibility. While the other two items can be powerful and life changing, I’d be good with just being invisible every now and again.

Would you rather be tutored by Luna Lovegood or Hermione Granger?

Hermione is smart and all, but I feel like she’d just end up making me feel stupid. Luna is mental and probably doesn’t know an awful lot of facts, but I’d still rather study with her. Besides, she’s in Ravenclaw so I imagine she’s pretty smart too – it might just take a while to sieve through the silly things she knows and the actual things she knows.

Would you rather, in the final battle, fight against Nagini (the snake) or Bellatrix?

Bellatrix for sure. I mean, she’d probably kick my ass and all – since she’s pretty awesome – but I’d like to give it a go. Besides, who wouldn’t want to scream “not my daughter, you bitch!” and then kick her ass. Not to mention I’m not really a fan of snakes. Sure that would meaning killing Nagini wasn’t too much of an issue but snakes… eww!

Would you rather fight a basilisk or a dragon?

Definitely a basilisk – mostly because I really like dragons. I know that hypothetically dragons are dangerous and scary, but I couldn’t bare to injure or kill one. I only roleplayed being very into Care of Magical Creatures and working with Dragons after school. Because of this they have a special place in my heart. It would have to be the scary basilisk fight instead.

Would you rather be a part of the Malfoy family or Weasley family?

Other than the fact they are ginger (and I would get teased even more about being a closet ginger), I’d choose the Weasley’s. I love their big family, the way they all care for each other and even their strange house. Molly and Arthur would make great (if not strange) parents and it would be fun having so many siblings. The Draco household might be cool occasionally though, I just don’t think I could look at Lucius for long without laughing at his hair.

Would you rather have a Butterbeer or pumpkin juice?

I hate pumpkin so I imagine pumpkin juice is pretty gross. That’s not to say I like Butterbeer either (at least, not the stuff they serve at the Warner Brothers Studio). However if I had to pick, then I’d say Butterbeer. And honestly, I’m sure in the Harry Potter Verse, Butterbeer actually tastes nice.

Would you rather travel via broomstick, Floo network or Portkey?

This is actually a tough one. I’d really like to try all three. The Floo would be exciting, as would Portkey. However I’ve always wanted to fly and since reading Harry Potter, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to fly on a broomstick. I think it would be great to actually fly a broomstick as a regular bode of transport, though unfortunately a little like a motorbike there would be downsides!

Would you rather have a conversation with Daniel Radcliffe or J.K. Rowling?

This is an easy one – J.K. Rowling. I don’t especially like Daniel Radcliffe anyway, but even if it was my most liked actor from the series, I’d still say J.K. Rowling. She wrote some of the best books I have ever written and while I don’t have anything specific that I’d like to ask her or even talk to her about, I’d still love the opportunity to actually meet her and talk for a while.
