The Sunday Five: Harry Potter

Sign outside a restaurant in Brugge, Belgium 

This one is a bit of a risk, as some of you may not have read any of the books and seen any of the films. I know the author has turned out to be a bigot, I read the books and enjoyed the films long before she started spouting hate. The books remain brilliant works of fiction, she should have taken her billion-dollars and crawled into a cave with her hate. 

1: How many of the Harry Potter books have you read? 

2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? 

3: If you had a House Elf, would you give them clothes? 

4: What educational experience was most like Hogwarts for you? 

5: How many of the Harry Potter films have you seen? 

My Answers: 

1: How many of the Harry Potter books have you read?  All of them, after the first one, I bought all of the subsequent books the day they were released for sale. 

2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? Hermione Granger, a bit of a know-it-all, who also cares about other people. 

3: If you had a House Elf, would you give them clothes? Yes, Dobby was a loyal friend after being freed. 

4: What educational experience was most like Hogwarts for you? Unquestionably Law School, three years with the brightest group of people I have ever known, exploring deep and mysterious knowledge. 

5: How many of the Harry Potter films have you seen? All of them, at least once, some many times. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

    2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? I could say Harry because after my bout with the shingles, I, too, have an odd scar on my forehead.
