    I think the only thing that didn't translate well to the movies is Harry's thoughts that reveal just how snarky and stubborn he really is in the books. He's a bit too nice in the movies. In the books he's just like most 11 year olds just with magical powers.

    Also a Ravenclaw! Hagrid has been consistently my favorite character over the years. I started reading them as soon as the first movie came out and had to wait for 5, 6 and 7 as they came out. They were a massive part of my 20's. Have read the series about 18 times since. It never gets old. It's the most whimsical and enjoyable series I can think of.

      Hello fellow Ravenclaw! Just received my Ravenclaw sweatshirt which I’m happy about. My favorite character (not to be confused with my favorite person in the series) is Snape because he is such a complex individual. The person I would probably prefer hanging out with is either Hermione or Luna. Ginny’s kind of cool also. It’s hard to pick just one. ☺️

    Welcome fellow Ravenclaw.
    My 5 year old great-niece got me into Harry Potter in 2005 when she begged me to watch the 1st movie with her on cable. As soon as I found out there were books first I immediately read the 2 my niece had and got the rest that were out from the library as soon as I finished those. I was in my 40's at the time.
    I love the whole series even though I'm 61 now.

      I feel like it went through cycles. At first, everyone wanted Gryffindor. Then people started seeing Gryffindor as basic and wanted any house BUT Gryffindor. Now I think it's evened out with people wanting Gryffindor about as much as the other houses. But like you I've always been a proud Ravenclaw.

    I like how many people chose their pets based on their perception of them in terms of appearance and overall sort of cleanliness i guess or cool factor. Mean while im here like well, i choose a cat i wont be able to focus on it and I would hate to entrap a pet of mine with other seemingly random pets in the dorm that I would be in. Plus i wouldnt be able to hold it back from wandering getting lost or killed. I wouldnt choose an owl because im guessing they would be very demanding pets. As in exercise, diet, and overall maintenance. Not to mention that I dont think exactly recall the movies mentioning anything about taking care of one's pet properly. So almost no one is being taught anything about falconry according to my limited knowledge of the wizarding world and irl lmao. So i would choose a frog/toade. I think their maintenance would be simpler and wouldnt take up as much space as the other.
