I would like to shout WELCOME to both our newcomers here on Veritaserum!

Vickey214, you like Fallout Boy? You should drop by the Music thread, where you can discuss your favorite bands.

Alice, you have the same troubles as a few of our members, namely insomnia. Feel free to stop by and share your stories (I know insomnia has led to some interesting stories for me) in the Insomnia thread.

Moonlight, you can bemoan your loss of Lupin and his wife in the Lupin fanclub thread, SPELL. The SPELL participants always welcome new members.

Aya, we have extensive threads in the Deathly Hallows forum. You can locate threads where you can voice your opinions concerning all aspects of book seven.

Lauren, even though you may not be around often, you are a welcome addition. It sounds like you would enjoy A Draught Of Dramatic Draconian Drawls, our Draco fanclub.

Mahnoor, in the Just Get Away From Life forum, we have a thread for Trivia About Yourself.

Lileana (AKA Lily), as a math teacher, I am saddened that you don't like my favorite subject. Such is life, right? Like Vickey214, you should drop by the Music thread, where you can discuss the Jonas Brothers.

Casey, as an avid reader, I suppose you might want to visit The Bookshelf, where you can swap book suggestions or comments with other readers. Now, perhaps you can settle an arguement for me. Are brown eggs healthier than white eggs? A friend of mine and I are having a disagreement. Also, what is your opinion regarding Rottweilers?f

Anushka, the Cars thread in the Just Get Away From Life forum sounds like somewhere you would find kindres spirits (myself included).

Dess, you came to the right place if you are looking for HP friends. I suggest the various fanclubs in The Lounge. They all have a friendly environment and you know you will be among people with the same favorite characters as yourself.

Erika, the Marauders Fanclub is the foremost place to discuss Sirius.

Roxana, with so many favorite characters, the fanclubs in The Lounge sound like the ideal place for you.

Ellen, you sound like a very relaxed individual. The Quidditch Pitch is the most relaxed forum on Veritaserum. It is one of the few places where the one-liner rule does not apply, but it does not contribute to your post count.

Sarah, I am sorry that I missed your birthday, so happy belated birthday. Curiously, I am watching Star Trek right now, so hooray for good shows...even though others regard us as nerdy. The TV and Media forum is the place where you can discuss your Favourite TV Shows.

Stacey, since you fancy Severus Snape, you should stop by SOSS, the Severely Obsessed Snape Society.

Eva, the Sorting quizzes are all found in Newbies Central. More specifically, in The Sorting subforum.

Ensomulv, since you like James and Remus, you definitely need to share your love in the Unofficial Marauders FanClub.

Aaiz, in our books category, we have a General forum discussion and a First Five forum. In the various threads, there are places you can be sure to abuse Cornelius Fudge.

Gisha, since you like Voldemort, you might enjoy Dark Arts Rule the Nation (DARN). This Society of Death Eaters discussing all things Voldemort and his followers.

Of course, everyone is invited to check out every aspect of the forums. Before you go, please check out The Rules. You may also want to see The Sorting area. There you can find the quizzes for your House, Wand, Animagus, etc. Links for many of the important parts of the site can be found in my signature.

Age: Oo. I am soon to be in my mid-twenties. I feel so old!
Location: I live in Wisconsin, USA. Yes, there is snow. Yes, it is cold. I have no idea why I still live here, but I absolutely love it!
Hobbies: With school, there hasn't been much time for me to participate in hobbies. But I really enjoy watching movies and reading books related to Social Work. Taking walks (in the snow or rain is the best!) and hanging out with friends are always fun.
Favorite character: So, I have several. From the books: Neville Longbottom and Severus Snape. From the movies: Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, and Bellatrix Lestrange.
Least favorite character: I was never too fond of Ron.
How you came across Veritaserum: I am not exactly sure. I was probably doing a search for HP websites. But I am glad that I did find this site, it has been a blast looking through it!
Favourite Bands/Artists: I know a lot of people don't like this kind of music, but I am definitely a country girl at heart. Right now my favorite artists are Brad Paisley, Eric Church, Kelly Clarkson, and Taylor Swift. You have to love music that you can dance to!
Likes: People who take the time to do something nice for another person. For example, ironically I was waiting for OOTP to start, I was at the movie theater and a young man got up to help an old woman to her seat. After a year in the city, it was the first act of kindness I had witnessed. I honestly got tears in my eyes.
Dislikes: People who are self-involved.
Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : I tend to name my pets after shoes. I used to have two cats (one has since passed away) called Nike and Reebok. My parents got me a stuffed cat to take to school because I missed my pets so much, and I named it Adidas. Not sure what to call the cat I am going to get when I move out of my parents house after I find employment, but it will probably be shoe-related in some way.

I would like to shout WELCOME to all our newcomers here on Veritaserum!

Ismail, you may want to join your friend Master of Death in the Severely Obsessed Snape Society (SOSS), where the Master currently has the last post.

Saffron, your name is my favorite spice (not that it pertains to Veritaserum). You may want to stop by the TV and Media forum, and the Music thread in particular, where you can enjoy discussing all your favorite artists.

Kristin, it seems many of your favorite characters are Slytherins, so you may want to check out the Slytherin House thread. Of course, the other house threads and related topics can be found in the Lounge.

Of course, everyone is invited to check out every aspect of the forums. Before you go, please check out The Rules. You may also want to see The Sorting area. There you can find the quizzes for your House, Wand, Animagus, etc. Links for many of the important parts of the site can be found in my signature.

I've been reading here for a while and i decided to join, because I was curious about the things left unexplained at the end of book 7. I'm hoping that people could explain some things to me.

MOD EDIT: Hi there! We do have a thread for all introductions, so I'll just move this one to the proper place. If you have any questions, please let a staff member know. We're more than happy to help! ~passerby

Greetings new members

Welcome all to Veritaserum forums. We are delighted to have you here with us and we especially appreciate the fact that you have chosen to join our community and share our enthusiasm for the Harry Potter series.

We understand that it's easy to find yourself lost when browsing through a new community, so I'll just provide a quick recap of some aspects of our forums that should be of use to all of us.

Firstly, it is our constant endeavour to ensure that our community stays warm, comfortable and most importantly welcoming. To ensure this, we like our members to abide by a certain set of rules and regulations that would ensure that our community retains its unique and delightful character. I request all the newcomers to please go through our list of rules and regulations here prior to posting. Not only it ensures a smooth transition for you, but would help avoid difficulties in the future. For instance we do not permit short posts, one-liners or netspeak in our posts, since they distract from the essence of our conversations and hog precious bandwidth, which we have in limited supply.

Secondly, it is entirely possible that members have have some queries or clarifications from time to time and a satisfactory explanation may not be available momentarily. In such instances, we encourage members to contact our site administrators who may be identified as Head Aurors (Prefects) or Wizengamot (Moderators) in their avatars. We'll be happy to be of any assistance that you may require.

Lastly, we take a stern view on the conversations that are deemed offensive, provocative and acrimonious. Such violations would invite swift reprimand and may in extreme eventuality result in expulsion from the board. But most of our members are sensible enough to differentiate friendly banter from slander and we hope the community stays that way.

We look forward to your views in various sections and hope you have a pleasant stay

Welcome aboard

best

Name: Mallory, but you can use any nickname you want. People usually call me Maliann, Mali, or just Mal. I honestly don't care.

Age: 15 very soon.

Location: Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, hip hop dance (that sounds so lame, I know), walking around town with my friends and drinking unlimited amounts of unhealthy energy drinks ...

Favorite character: Wow, hard ... uhm ... possibly Neville? Really, I have the hardest time trying to figure that out.

Least favorite character: Lavender really annoyed me, but that's probably because she stood in the way of Ron/Hermione.

How you came across Veritaserum: Actually, I don't remember. It was so long ago.

Favourite Bands/Artists: I love everything. Some of my favourites are James Blunt, The Spill Canvas, Rihanna, Mika, Evanescence, Corinne Bailey Rae, Imogen Heap, Christina Aguilera, Paramore, Britney Spears (don't judge me. xD), Coldplay, Maroon 5, Ben Folds, The Cranberries, Feist, HIM, Kanye West, The Kinks, Leah Andreone, Oasis, Regina Spektor .. there are so many more. I also love a lot of movie soundtracks.

Likes: I like dancing. Not so much hip hop dancing, even though I'm trained in it, but I love contemporary and jazz. I kind of teach myself those styles. I LOVE writing. Love it. I'm usually always writing. I'm obsessed with the show Lost, and the Twilight series. I'm usually listening to music at all times. Ellen Page is basically my hero. I love clothes, but most of all, I love thrift store shopping. I kind of like the Olsen twin look without the fur. It's like homeless, but not.

Dislikes: I hate having to hear about some celebrities untimely death in dramatic detail. Like, leave them and their family alone. (Yes, I'm talking about Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace)

Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give!: I'm kind of basically a huge loser, haha. I wear reading glasses, have braces, and need an inhaler, so I kind of fit the description. I can read a 600 page book in 2 days, which I sometimes hate because I never have anything to read!

I cry a lot when it comes to books/movies/tv shows. I connect with the characters too easily, so if anything happens to them, I cry.

Writing is what I want to do with my life. Yeah, how many times have you heard that? But really, it is. I'm currently writing two stories/books. I really hope I can get something published some day.

I have a silver cross necklace that I never take off (unless I have surgery or something, when I actually have to take it off) because it was the last gift I ever got from my grandmother. I also wear a red clover key chain like item around my neck. It was a gift from my uncle, who died when I was little. It's a long story, but he meant a lot to me and he died quite tragically (not unlike Heath Ledger's death? ) so I keep that little part of him with me at all times, too. My family means a lot to me, and always will. If I have the choice between going to a family get-together or just hanging out with my friends, I choose my family.

Oh yeah! And I hate chocolate. I HATE IT. I will throw it back up if I eat it. Which sometimes, I do just because it's something to put in my mouth and I really always have to be chewing on something.
