Harry Potter? Of course! Incidentally, I just finished reading the Harry Potter series two days ago...weird right? I think my favourite book would probably be - it's tricky - either Prisoner of Azkaban (because that's where you first meet Remus),, Half-Blood Prince (the Harry/Ginny romance is so cute) or Deathly Hallows, because that is where we see Remus being happy about the birth of his son. But he also dies in that one too, so maybe not the Deathly Hallows.

Film-wise, I can't actually remember the last three properly, so I'd have to say my favourite is the Order of the Phoenix.But all's good, 'cuz I'm having a Harry Potter DVD Marathon in a few weeks. So I'll get back to you on that one.

I've sent you a friend request on Pottermore - my name is HazelBlood20826, and I go by the nickname of Grimm - no prizes for guessing where that came from! Though it's irritating because people get confused with The Grim, ya know? And so they'll call me Grim, with one 'm', which makes me sad. Oh, and I'm in Gryffindor! Is it just me, or does the Ravenclaw house on Pottermore reminds you of Beauxbatons?

I was thinking about the Cruciatus Curse the other day (as you do), and I'd have to agree with you. It's worse, as the Killing Curse is, at the very least, quick. And I felt so sorry for Neville when I read what happened to his parents; I think it's easier for Harry as his parents are dead than it is for Neville, since they are alive and they don't know who he is. Hating upon Bellatrix now. And I agree - I don't think the Dementor's kiss is something I could ever face.

Aww, Snape's death scene - I've never cried so much over a book! And to think that he was in love with Lily - I TOTALLY was not expecting that! Yes, Voldemort is horrible -  sometimes I find myself wondering how Merlin would react if Voldemort was a threat against Camelot and/or Arthur. But I think I cried the most in the scene where Harry brings back the ones he loves with the Resurrection Stone, and how he walked to face death with James, Lily, Sirius and Remus by his side. SO sad. So, so sad.

Saying that though, I also cried when Cedric Diggory died, because he was played by Robert Pattinson! Do you prefer Pattinson as Diggory or as Edward Cullen? I have a feeling I know which one you're going to choose, and it ain't the vampire!

Hahah, Orphan, yeah I made the mistake of watching it a couple of years ago when I was like 12,  and I have never been more freaked out by kids. EVER. I usually love horror films, but that has scarred me for life. It's so graphic and creepy!

Coraline - YES, gothic is the word I was looking for! But I enjoyed it as the way it was animated was completely different from anything I have ever seen before.

As for films having unsatisfactory endings - I completely agree! It also really annoys me, because I get really into the rest of the film, and then the ending... best if I stop before I get into rant mode.

Oh, I'm right about Once Upon a Time? Yay! Though I have to admit, I cheated slightly by reading the overview on it's Wiki page when I first found out about it. *feeling sheepish*.

As fro Twilight, I'm not surprised that you didn't watch the films after the first one. IT. WAS. RUBBISH. I was so mad when it came out because it didn't do any justice towards the book, and it is by far one of my least favourite films. Not because it's Twilight, but because it's a poor adaptatio. That's also something that really annoys me.

I know, I share your pain over not having enough time to read - I entirely blame school for that. But it's my favourite past-time regardless, and I may sometimes fall behind on my work because I choose to read instead. Oh well.

Last Question (I've noticed that I say that a lot) - do you watch Doctor Who?
