Hedwig definitely. It's more real because he's an actual animal, and I think we can all relate to losing a beloved furry family member :(

He's a good person, with a heart, too. Often overlooked, justifiably, by his hubris, morose, and mean nature.

Let's just say if he was to pass somebody on the street who had just been beaten and mugged, I think he would spare them some coins and tend to their wounds... I think.

Erm. I don't know how to respond to that :/

Philosopher's Stone, makes me all warm and happy.

Nah. Wouldn't enter, I'm a coward when up against unknowns. I'd gladly throw my friends into it though, and watch in the stands with a butter beer and cigar.

I'm a Slytherin, and a Libra. I'm probably not the biggest fan, in terms of knowledge of the whole wizarding world, but "Harry Potter" has had a huge effect on my life, it's somewhere to go when this world isn't helping me out.

^ and that's why love is so powerful :) he's a perfect anti-hero

I don't think this will ever die out. It's touched and changed so many lives. I mean it helped me in my childhood. Thinking of Hogwarts gave me great comfort when I sorely needed it when I was younger, and that will definitely carry on for a very long time for all of us

Hmmm. I think maybe to emphasise the power of love and friendship, that Harry couldn't do all he did alone and needed the profound gifts of his friends, and so highlighted their gifts to show this, I don't know

Gosh, it makes me mad everytime it's referenced. WHY change the name for the US?

^ definitely agree, he is more fleshed out in the books. Jim Broadbent, however, plays him brilliantly.

Snape. So tragic.

^ true enough

Twice I joined up to Pottermore and twice I was placed in Slytherin, quite proud :,)

^ very good idea isn't it, albeit a bit macabre but hey ho that's the wizarding world

Me too!

I'm really liking the idea of Harry's parent's tombstones, very dark and deep, bravo for that one.
