I'm 13, I'm from Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada.

Favorite character: Severus Snape
Least favorite character: Bellatrix Lestrange or Dalores Umbridge
How you came across Veritaserum: I have no idea.
Favourite Bands/Artists: Obviously, Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys. Aside from that, I like Pain, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Dropkick Murphys, Anti-Flag, Sunny Day Real Estate, Saccharine, The Postal Service, At The Drive In, and loads of other stuff.

Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : I've read the books over twenty four times each!

I suppose they'll tell us where to move this if we actually want to discuss it, but I'll answer your question. I'm one of the people who didn't like the way Ginny was portrayed in HBP. She went from a minor background character, whom Harry had never really thought about, to being inserted everywhere, even when she didn't fit. She was suddenly popular, beautiful, talented, etc. - what in fanfic we'd call a Mary Sue. If JKR had always planned for Ginny to be Harry's girlfriend and for her to take a larger role in the series, she needed to lay better groundwork rather than thrusting her front and center out of nowhere. For example, the part in OOTP where she talks about how Harry should have come to her since she knew what it was like to be posessed by Voldemort would have been a natural place for Ginny to start taking more of a role in his life, or for him to start considering her differently. None of that happened, and Harry went right back to not really thinking of her or noticing her again. From that to "chest monster" was a big leap, and I just didn't buy it.

With Draco, he's such a cartoon up until HBP. He's like Wile E. Coyote, with all his plans and schemes that flop or blow up in his face. It's all posturing and nonsense, not any kind of real aggression or threat. We never see anything of what Draco thinks or what motivates him, so he's very one dimensional. Granted, we see everything through the filter of Harry's perspective, but JKR could have shown us something of what's under the surface, even if it was just to prove how shallow Draco is, or how he really is dedicated to the ideals his father respects. The other thing is that all of the pigtail pulling in books 1 - 5 doesn't rise to the level of hatred. HBP, when Harry gets caught in their compartment and Draco breaks his nose, is the first time Draco has come out on top in any of their encounters. As Harry's nemesis, Draco is more of a mosquito than a B-52, so they're not truly enemies. Considering the lack of buildup, that crucio came out of nowhere. An unforgivable? Really? Harry is worth a trip to Azkaban and the death of your parents for failing on your mission because of the schoolboy taunts and bickering? It doesn't ring true.

I think the story could be richer and the storylines more plausible if some of the characters had been written differently. JKR has such a rich imagination and has developed this amazing world, giving us some really beloved characters. I just wish she would flesh some of them out more instead of falling back on cliched roles, and give us more insight into who they are or what motivates them.

Chubbles, Welcome to VTM!

You have quite the eclectic musical taste, you might like to check out our Music thread. And seeing your favorite character is Snape, have you checked out the Who is Snape Really Betryaing thread.

Hi, vir_albusblack, and welcome to the VTM forums! We're glad to have you with us. I notice that one of your favorite characters is Dumbledore. Here's a masterlist of all the current threads we have on him! Feel free to offer us your opinion on any of the topics! Here's a masterlist for the other HP characters, if you'd like to offer your opinions on them as well. May I also suggest looking into SPELL, since you're a fan of Lupin's? We've also got several threads in the Outside HP forums where you can discuss your favorite films and music. I look forward to seeing you around!

poltergiest, welcome to VTM! Have you seen our thread to find out what Hogwarts ghost you are? Sounds like something you'd have fun with. We've got a thread going to discuss why Peeves was cut out of the movies, if you'd care to offer us your opinions on that. We've got a general ghost discussion going on here.

If you both could read the forum rules, there's a link in my signature, that would be fantastic. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me, another Head Auror or a member of the Wizengamot (the moderators). We're here to help in any way we can.

Thanks and welcome to VTM!

Hey everyone I'm Buckbeak rules...my favorit HP book and movie has to be the third, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkban (I hope I spelled that right).

Oh and my favoirt charcters have to be the Weasly Twins, Lupin, Hermione, Wood, Ron, Dumbledore, Siruis, and Harry. Wow i have alot lol

Welcome to Veritaserum, Buckbeak rules!

I ahve to agree with you on the PoA movie, as I have always preferred it over the others. A lot of people don't like it, but I've always thought it was very well done. Since you like reading fanfics and would like to write your own, I suggest you check out our Fanfics section where you can do both.

If you ahve any questions or problems, feel free to contact me, another Head Auror, or a member of the Wizengamot.

I have already read a few that's what got me intestered in the site and i love the third movie because it was that (and my bestfriend nagging me to read the books) that got me into HP, and now i'm obessed thou i don't get everyone's Hermione and Malfoy love thing...

Happy Posting.

hi everyone! I'm hpalltheway. I have been reading the HP series since I was 13 (I'm 20 now). They are so addicting and I have read everyone a few hundred times. What got me into these sites was a classmate a year ago was telling me that she looked up these sites and everyone was saying that dd never really died, well I had to look for myself. my favorite Hp book is OotP, harry is such a rebel. favorite movie is PoA, didn't care for GoF that much, it just didn't follow the book that well favorite character is Hermoine (she's so smart) and least favorite is Umbridge.

Hello hpalltheway! Welcome to VTM.

It seems strange that a lot of us started reading about Harry so long ago. It began it's amazingness back when I was in fifth grade, which would have put me at about 9 or 10 years of age! Course I only really started into all the fandom about two years ago...
And I completely agree with you about your favorite movie and book. I have always loved OotP, even though most people don't. I really like it. Seems realistic to me. And PoA has always been my favorite. I guess I tend to like all the ones that other people usually don't.

Anyhoo, if you haven't swung by the Rules thread, please do so because it will tell you all you need to know about VTM. There is also Dumbledore's office that has other helpful things you may need. There are links in my signature you can use to access those forums.

If you have any questions or problems, you can contact me, a Head Auror, or a member of the Wizengamot.

Hi there! My name's Anna. I'm born and raised in New Zealand, and hope to travel the world sometime soon when I can finally get the funds together!

My favourite character in the HP series is a toss up between Lupin and Sirius. How much fun would it have been to hang out with the Marauders back in the day! My least favourite character is Professor Umbridge. She makes my skin crawl.

In the movies though, I've got a bit of a thing for Barty Crouch JR. Or maybe it's just David Tennant. Either way, they're both quite cool.

I came across Veritaserum through another HP forum site which I left when I got bored of all the bickering =x

Music is a huge part of my life. To best illustrate it is to view my Last.FM profile here.

Other than that, I look forward to chatting about the HP world with loads of you

Well with the Holiday weekend it seems us Head Aurors have gotten a bit behind. I will have to rectify that right now. My apologies to all the New Members for our Tardiness.


Hermione10

Welcome to Veritaserum Corina! Now how can anyone not like Neville? He is such a sweet boy. If anyone deserves a happy ending it is him.


Sirius' Lover

Welcome Debbie to Veritaserum! We have quite a few Sirius fans here. Lupin and Snape are the most popular but Sirius is not far behind. We have this thread here for our older HP fans, myself included. I guess that is what happens when us adults get addicted to a series originally intended for children.


Barty Crouch Jr.

Welcome to Veritaserum! I think this is the first time I have seen someone list Crouch Jr. as a favorite. I never had much use for someone who betrays their family. We do have a Lupin fan club here though. It is currently in between threads right now so keep checking the Lounge and it will be reopened soon.


Lunashouldbe

Welcome to Veritaserum Jenny! Alabama but you dislike country music? Just kidding. I reside in Florida and can not stand country either. I will have to disagree with you about Umbridge. I thought she was a great villian. She was very well written.


Dingar

Hello Roman and welcome to Veritaseum! You do not like Snape? How can this be? He is the single best creation of JKR. He is so complex and mysterious, how can anyone not like the character. Think of how dull the series would be without him running around in the shadows.


JakeSG

Welcome to Veritaserum Jake! Do not like RAB? He did seem to get Dumbledore killed for nothing. If you are interested you might try this thread and join in the discussion of who RAB is.


Anna

Welcome to Veritaserum! It sounds like you are a fan of the Mauraders. You might be interested in looking though our Maurader fan club here. Another Umbridge hater? I think I need to start an Umbridge fan club to explain why she was such a great character.


NymphadoraT

Welcome Nakia to Veritaserum! Umbridge again? See my previous comments. I really like cooking too. It is a hobbie I am discovering as I get older. With your screen I would have thought you would pick Tonks as your favorite.


Katja

Welcome to Veritaserum. A fellow Floridian. Small world isn't it. Another HP Oldie too! Don't worry, anyone over 18 is an oldie here. It is a badge of honor I wear proudly. I agree with you, I too like all the characters. Do not worry about being new to posting. We were all there at one time or another ourselves. If you need any assistance just let me know.


hpfan6290

Hello Amanda and welcome to Veritaserum. You know not too many people pick Dudley as their least favorite. Of all the negative characters in the series, he has some of the greatest faults but people tend to choose Umbridge or Snape as their least favorite. I must say I really like your name. But then again I did name my oldest daughter that so I am a little biased.


Welcome again to everyone. If you need any assistance please contact myself or any other Head Auror by PM. We are here to help new members anyway possible. Also, if you have not already done so, please read through the forum rules. There is a link to them in my signature.

DISLIKES: my brother's body spray. that stuff stinks!

songbird.

I'm kylie
I'm 29 years old
I live in sunny down under
I love reading, listening to music, Oh and reading the HP books over and over.
(the good thing is I can get right into HP and say it's for the kids).
My fav character is lupin but I have to tell you I think david tennant is a spunk
My least fav character is Snape for sure
I've been popping in for a while thought I'd better join
I don't really hae a fav band. I like lots of different things just not country and classical
My husband thinks I'm absolutely mad but at least now I can talk to other grownups about HP. Hubby just rolls his eyes everytime I have a new theory.

Hello! Just joined last night. I just finished Half-Blood Prince the other day, and I'd have to say it's probably my favorite one so far. I suppose I'll adhere to the suggested introduction format laid out in the beginning of this thread, so...

Favorite character: I'd have to say Hagrid. I just wanna see him break bad in a fight that's muscles versus magic. But as far as the movies go, probably Mad Eye Moody. Brendan Gleeson's awesome 100% of the time.
Least favorite: Dolores Umbridge. She's a lot like my 1st and 6th grade teacher, who was the bane of my existence those two years.
Music: Bjork, Sigur Ros, The Danielson Famile, Bis, Lamb of God, Judas Priest, The Smashing Pumpkins, lots of others... The Sundays are good to listen to while reading HP.
Hobbies: Painting, making bad music, comic books and regular books.
Likes: Concerts, my girlfriend's cooking, the smell of fall.
Dislikes: Cell phone ringtones, obnoxious hip hop, stuff that sucks.

Not many of my friends like to talk HP, so maybe this'll be my chance to really nerd it up on the subject.

Welcome to VTM Succubus, Songbird, Kypot, and NotOneOfUs!

Succubus, I'm glad to see you finally decided to join. And since you already know where the fanfictions are located, maybe we'll one day see you as an author?

Songbird, Happy 2 months away birthday! Ah, chocolate... I'm with you there. There's nothing better than a nice ooey, warm brownie. Yummy. (I need to stop before I make myself hungry.) But seeing how your favorite character is Dumbledore, you might like to check out Dumbledore's Portrait.

Kypot, rest assured there are many of us "oldies" in the HP fandom.
And seeing that Snape is your least favorite character, I'm curious what you have to say about this thread: Who is Snape Really Betraying?

And NotOneOfUs, I love fall too. It's my favorite season. The kids go back to school and it's pretty with the changing of the leaves, and you're right, it smells better too.
Here's a thread about Hagrid you might like to check out, Hagrid's Role since he's your favorite character.

All of you, once again welcome to the forums! I do have to ask you to please swing by the rules if you have not already done so.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me or any other Head Auror or Wizengamot an owl.
Happy Posting!

Favorite Character: Ron Weasley

Least Favorite Character: Severus Snape

How I Came Across Veritaserum: searching for harry potter sites

Favorite Band: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Likes: sweets, swimming, traveling, steak

Dislikes: homework and chores

Hello Sam and welcome to Veritaserum!

I do have to disagree with you. I really like homework and chores. Nothing like sending the kids to their room to clean or do homework. Gives me a bit of peace and quiet but I think we might be approaching that one from different angles. I looked around for a Red Hot Chili Peppers thread but could not find one. I think they are a very good group. If you are a big fan of music you might be interested in our general thread here. It is a thread to post about all your favorite music.

Don't like Snape? He is one of my favorites. I try to imagine the series without him and it's just hollow. The confict between Snape and Harry makes the series great.

If you have not already done so, please read through the forum rules. There is a link to them in my signature. If you have any questions or need assistance with anything in the forums please contact myself or any other Head Auror.

Happy Posting!!

hello

Well, I'm not exactly new, as I've been reading for some time (ever since someone on my course introduced me to the site).

I'm Flic, in my late 20s. I live in the south of England, and am hopefully just about to go into the final year of my degree as long as I pass my exams

Hmmm, hobbies - not much time for those once I get back into uni. Realistic ones are listening to talking books, computer games and cross-sums (a.k.a. kakuro). In my former life (pre-uni) I enjoyed camping, music making (e.g. singing) and being a youth leader. I like musicals/show-tunes, and most other types of music.

Hermione's probably my favourite character as I share some characteristics with her (one of my goals this year is to learn to sit on my hands ocassionally in lectures...but that's going to be a hard one so this is the first time I've publicised it). My least favourite character (apart from the obvious) is probably Bellatrix, due to the pleasure she appears to get from killing and torture.

I like spending time with friends, and university placements. My major dislike at the moment is going to be a few weekends time when all the new freshers move into halls (chaos!).

I have got a query about the 'no short posts/abbreviations' rule (one of the reasons I've been relatively quiet on the forums). Are succinct posts that still make a point allowed? (I have times when I can't type very well, but having seen censure of abbreviations such as b/c for because, I would sometimes really have to choose between a post with non-text/leet speak abbreviations, or a post that doesn't really say much).

There is one person here that could potentially back up my typing issues, if she's not still laughing at the memory of some of them (joking).

Flic

Welcome to the forums, cocoperi, SeleneSnape, EricHarry, Loony_Hufflepuff, kenijo, and Flic!

Cocoperi, aw, a new kitty. I used to have a black kitty when I was a kid. I named her Bear. She was all black and my friends were scared to death of her; she was the most gentle thing ever though. All this superstition surrounding black cats... anyhoo, I see one of your favorite bands is Panic at the Disco. You might like to check out that thread and add to the discussion.

SeleneSnape, you know, I somewhat remember those cartoons. Didn't one of them have a character that carried it's eyes in his hands?? Anyhoo, seeing Snape is your favorite character, here's a thread I think you'll enjoy: In Defense of Snape.

EricHarry, I can say that Alaska is definately one of those places I would like to visit one of these days. Such a beautiful state! At any rate, seeing that Umbridge is your least favorite character, I'm curious what you'll have to say in this thread Umbridge.

Loony_Hufflepuff, I'm with you there! I adore chocolate. And seeing you're a writer, I expect we'll see a Fan Fic by you???

kenijo, welcome to the forums. Please check your inbox shortly as I will be sending you an owl. You can do so by clicking on Owls Waiting.

and Flic, another member over the 21 mark. I'm sure you'll do just fine in Uni. I myself just started my Master's program, so I'm with you there. Keeping my fingers crossed I do well. And I'm curious to what you'll have to add to this thread: Hermione's character in HBP. As far as your question, we do not allow netspeak to ease translation efforts for those who either don't speak English natively as well as for those of us not familiar with net speak. And for post length, it needs to be at least two full lines of text.

All of you, a very warm welcome to VTM. If you haven't already done so, please swing by the rules (link in my signature). If you ever have any questions, feel free to send me or any other Head Auror or Wizengamot member an owl.
Happy Posting!
