Favourite Things

Ok, so because I want to try and focus on less well known books, it doesn’t leave me much scope to say which of the more mainstream books that I love, or favourite anything else. As that is part of the reason why I created this blog, I have decided to list a few of those things here that I think my fellow Hogwarts students might enjoy.

I’ll update this list as and when I find new things I like, and put some age ranges with them again (just in case). So, here goes:

 

Harry Potter

Favourite Book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Favourite Film: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Favourite Character: Luna Lovegood (Dobby is a very close second)

Favourite House: Ravenclaw (obviously)

Favourite Subject: Care of Magical Creatures

Favourite Spell: Curse of Bogies

Favourite Teacher: Professor Flitwick

Favourite Place: Hogwarts (but I also love Diagon Alley)

I call my owl Naomi, or Nim for short, after a friend who died. I think she would have loved Pottermore a lot, so it’s my way of bringing her to Hogwarts. I also have a pet thestral called Neville, and a pet cat called Dobby.

My favourite colour is blue, so that makes it even better being a Ravenclaw.

I also like animals, especially dogs, tortoises, and owls. I have a Jack Russell called Rodders, and a Horesfield Tortoise called Izzy.
