Hi there to all the newcomers!
If you're reading this, then you've just made an excellent start!! This is the place to introduce yourself, say hi and tell us a little bit about yourselves. It's always nice to have a bit more information about someone so that you're not just a strange username or avatar.... You don't have to say much if you don't want to. It's not really a rigid layout and you can pretty much say as much or as little as you like, but it would be nice if you could mention...
Name: Age: (roughly, if you don't fancy being specific!) Location: (Just country, or continent, is fine - just don't give your address!!) Hobbies: Favorite character: Least favorite character: How you came across Veritaserum: Favourite Bands/Artists: Likes: Dislikes: Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! :
You're welcome to share your real name with us, or if you'd prefer to give just a nickname, that's totally fine as well, particularly if you have a very long or difficult to type username.
If any of you have any problems or have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me, any of the mods, or the prefects who are all here solely to help you - and they'd much rather be helping people than enforcing rules, I assure you!!
Just incase you haven't seen some of the other threads yet, we also have a sorting hat thread, plenty of clubs for you join in the Lounge forum such as SPELL for Lupin fans, MOOOP for Order of the Phoenix fans, HEROES for fans of the trio in a non-shipping sort of way, and plenty of other quiz and games threads too - mostly, you'll find them in the Lounge forum. You can also use the search engine to find them, and lots of people also have links to them in their signatures. If you have any trouble locating them, just give us a shout
Hope you have lots of fun here sharing your passion for Potter with fellow fans, and I look forward to seeing you around the forums!!

Name: In real life, my name really is Cassandra; but please I implore of you! Call me Cass or Cassie, Cassandra is too old-fashioned for me. Age: 16 Location: Historical Philadelphia(United States) Hobbies: Wow, that's a hard one... uhm... beading, collecting Wicked/Wizard of Oz Memorabillia, and writing. Favorite character: This is also hard; if you mean by ways of HP, I'd have to say Ginny Weasley. If you mean by ways of everyday books, it's Elphaba Thropp and Robert Langdon. Least favorite character: Once again, by means of HP: Peter Pettigrew (older); non-HP: Really (and this'll make me seem like the biggest dork), I abhor Friar Laurence, for reasons that I'll keep to myself. How you came across Veritaserum: Truthfully? A long time ago when Mugglenet thanked them for giving them news. Favourite Bands/Artists: Anything Rock, really: Nickelback, Five For Fighting, 3 Foors Down, (I only like "Enter Sandman" by Metallica), Greenday, etc; and anything Broadway. Likes: I love the musical "Wicked" (although, my parents and friends would disagree and say that I'm more so obsessed....), anything Broadway, Writing, (I adore!) Reading, uhm CSI (although I don't like the series on CBS, I'm more so into the the FBI Files on the Discovery Channel/History Channel; I'm a dork, I know!), and school (I said that I was a dork...). Oh yea, and Grammar; I'm very into it... I get into trouble for it all of the time! Apparently, you're not allowed to correct your, uhm, English teachers? Dislikes: I like pretty much everything... just a few things like hypocrites and rap/hip-hop bother me... Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : I really am not that big of a dork... I'm really fun to be around. I'm a very active member of my high school, I plan on going to college and I really do like school!
I am totally obsessed with Broadway! Especially Wicked!! I've seen it once, I'll see it again when it comes to Philadelphia next year, and I'm seeing it in October 2006. Soem of my favourite shows are: Aida, The Lion King, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, Hairspray, 42nd Street, Chicago, etc. I'm a very artsy person, evern though that comes off as me being a total nerd. (I'm obsessed with art, especially Salvidor Dahli!)
I'm extremely into writing, although my fanfic(s) do not show it. I have been offered a contract to write 1 book and a sequel to it - but I have yet to sign that contract as it is $400 to have them print the book alone. I own my own HP RPG site, I work 3 jobs, and for my sport I do Horseback Riding (which is not easy!). I have been on here before, my computer crashed and I was inactive...
Sorry this was so long... I'm really bored

Welcome Cass to Veritaserum!! I do not think Cassandra is old fashion. It is a beautiful name. Broadway? A girl after my own heart. I love Broadway musicals. Well most would call it an obsession. My current obsession is Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. I am so bad I even have my eight year old daughter hooked on the CD. Everytime I turn around she has taken the CD for her own collection. We have a thread here about Broadway musicals you might be interested in. Metallica is a great band but I think Enter Sandman was the beginning of their downfall. Everything before that was great.
Welcome Faith to Veritaserum!! 26, not pathetic at all considering I am a 34 year old man helping administer a HP web site. We have a huge group of "oldies" here so you will fit in great. Please do no let the oldie designation bother you. We all wear it proudly here. We have a Panic! at the Disco thread here if you are interested. I must admit, I have never heard of the group other than the posts written here. I am really an oldie.
If you two have not had the chance, please stop by and read the forum rules. There is a link to them in my signature. If you have any questions please let myself or any other Head Auror know.

Haha, thank you! You're extremely kind! Yes yes, Broadway is my life! My friend was just in that musical at a local public high school, no lie!! My other one is in Godspell... But our school just did Aida and Beauty and the Beast. I am really obsessed, it's horrible! I'm driving my parents to clear insanity! I got my younger brother hooked on Wicked and Rent; my four friends into Rent; my other friend into Aida; and I got my Aunt hooked on Hairspray , lol! It is an obsession, and I'll admit it!
I only love "Enter Sandman" 'cause it's the Philadelphia Flyer's song! I love my hockey I'll be sure to check out that link, and you're kind to welcome me -- thanks a bunch!

Welcome to the forums, Melisa_hp, Hazel-Eyed-Honey, and Potty!
Melisa_hp, ooh, CSI and Friends are two of my personal favorites too. Here's a link to Your favorite tv shows where you can discuss your favorites. And I see Sirius is your favorite character. We have a fair few threads where you can discuss all about him, here's one for example:Sirius in OotP.
Hazel-Eyed-Honey, salsa dancing is a lot of fun. Swing dancing too. You seem to have quite an eclectic taste in music. Here's our music thread where you can discuss your favorites. And I see you like reading and writing. You should check out one of my favorite sections of VTM, the fan fictions. You'll find lots of terrific stories written by our members, and I hope to find you among our long list of authors one day.
And Potty! Here's a link to a thread about art where you may enjoy taking part in some discussion. Also, since your favorite character is Harry, here's a link to the Harry Masterlist as you'll see there are several threads discussing our favorite hero.
If you all have not done so already, please swing by the rules when you get a chance (link is in my signature). Once again, welcome to VTM everyone! Happy Posting! ~Cori

Welcome Eva to Veritaserum!

Hi Mary, welcome to Veritaserum!!
Let me just say, I love your name. I think it is really pretty. I also like to play soccer as well. Funny you should hate Snape because you might actually find that there are a lot of Snape lovers here! And contrary to that, there are actually a lot of people who dislike Ginny...
I would like to direct you to the Rules, where you can find everything you need to know about VTM. There is a link in my signature below, along with other helpful links such as the Support section. If you have any questions or anything, you can contact a Head Auror or a Wizengamot, or me if you'd like.
Have a good time! Droobles

Hey there, Kristi! Welcome to the forums! I like your user name - haven't come up with an answer to it yet, except... not sure?
You like HG2TG? I saw the movie, but I didn't read the books. Pity, I heard they were rather different. I liked the movie though. Classic! (And it's not because Alan Rickman was hilarious as Marvin's voice, oh no, never...) Lol, kidding, I really liked the rest of it too.
And yeah, I hate Colin Creevey too. He doesn't just irritate me, he gives me the creeps too - no-one healthy can be that obsessed with someone... (Alan who?) And pink... urgh.
