Hi - sorry, for the late reply, excuses for which I have none. This is like the third time I've tried to post a reply, so hopefully it will work!

I don't blame Ron for his reaction at all. I'd just about die if I was a boy and received that. Though speaking as a girl, if a boy gifted that, it would be kinda cute.

I think Bellatrix's death was portrayed better in the books than the film but Voldemort's was better in the films. The way he turned to ash and just casually floated into the air was...odd, to say the least. I know right - he just hugged Draco, like actually touched him in an affectionate way. (That sounds bad, but ya know what I mean!) I think he has more of a personality in the films than he does in the book, therefore making him more colder and evil in the books than in the films. Like in Deathly Hallows Part 1, where he jokes with Pius Thicknesse and says something like "Spoken like a true politician."

Yeah. I think Morgana has more of a chance, since she can do magic with her eyes, whilst Voldy requires a wand to do some serious damage. I'd hope to be in Gryffindor, but I can see myself in Hufflepuff - anything but Slytherin though! I'd also love to be on the Quidditch team, but I physically suck at all things sport-related, so I don't that's the path for me. *sobs*

Ah, Pottermore. Like you said before, it looks a lot less magical and more digital. I agree that the bar is useful, but the really annoying thing is that there is a bar within a bar, and it only fills up when you complete each moment. It's really irritating if you like to complete everything before you move on next, as to fill up the bars, you have to do obscure things like send someone a cauldron cake - who on EARTH would guess that? But, they've also released the life-story of Remus Lupin, so I am one happy bunny.

I'm stuck between Charms, Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts, 'cuz they are like the basics of wizarding magic, I'd say Potions, but I don't think I could put up with Snape, even if I do like him as a character.

I can't actually believe that they cut out the Hogwarts school song, now that I know they've filmed it. I would have though they'd at least have put it in the Philosopher's Stone, but no. I think my favourite deleted scene would have to be the Petunia's farewell in Deathly Hallows, but as I haven't seen the deleted scenes from any of the other films, I can't really say what my favourite scene is overall.

From the books, I think the bit I miss the most would be from the Deathly hallows, and Remus comes in all happy, and makes Harry godfather to Teddy. I was SO annoyed when I saw they cut that bit out, like I was annoyed when Teddy didn't even feature in the epilogue  part of the film.

I didn't actually know that Merlin had any deleted scenes, considering it's a TV series. I watched the scene with the crest that you mentioned - WHY DID THEY CUT THAT OUT?! It was so cute! Why would - WHY WOULD THEY CUT IT OUT! It's like I live for the scenes that demonstrates the friendship between Merlin and Arthur, even if Arthur is loathe to admit it. That would probably be my favourite scene, seeing as I haven't watched the deleted scenes for the other episodes.

Colin Morgan is cute - what was that thing you wanted people to vote for where he was up against Tom Hiddleston I think? Anyway, as Jethro Cane, I found this video of him on youtube where his face is priceless! I apologise for the text embedded onto the video screen though. Saying that, you probably won't find it funny at all, so sorry if you don't!

I think I'll post the question on the Harry Potter Wiki and see if it gets answered. If not, I think I may have found a sirius (geddit?) plot-hole in the series...

Ah, the Bathilda Bagshot scene. I love how there's just like flies hovering around her casually. But I see what you mean when you say it's freaky - I hate how Nagini just slithered out of her body like that.

My aim for the movie marathon is not to fall asleep, 'cuz last time I had one, I was down under before the film had even started. Which kind of defeats the point.

Other news: FINALLY there is another user on The Sisters Grimm Wiki! You have no idea how happy this makes me. She beat me to the 3000th edit badge though - but no matter - the 4000th edit badge will be mine! *laughs manically*

Eh, The Hunger Games. I had a brief thing for it before the release of the first film, and I was like a fan for two months. I can't wait for Catching Fire either - the trailer looks amazing!

Hahaha, I don't blame you for not wanting to watch Paranormal Activity. I'm completely regretting watching it, and am currently jumping at every sound I hear.

Fireworks (or Chimpanzees, I don't really know what to have as a nickname. I may just go with my Pottermore name of Grimm. Any ideas?)
