I'd like to give a huge, ginormous WELCOME to all of the following members biggrin.gif :


gailandkay -- Hey there! Thirty-one is not old! As a matter of fact, we have a very large group of *ehem* "Oldies" here on VTM. You can find the thread (if you haven't already) around the site! wink.gif

miss granger -- Heya Nadia! Wow...four instruments!? Now that's talent! smile.gif I used to play the trumpet, but *sigh* I gave it up a few years ago.

Kirsten_Ann -- We're excited for Deathly Hallows, too, Kirsten! Ooh...your birthday is only three days after mine, though you are a year older! And you're definitely going to have to let me borrow your music collection! To say we have the same taste in music would be an understatement! biggrin.gif

darkwort -- Hey there, Caroline! Young Remus? Interesting choice! I've never heard that answer before...how original! And don't worry, HP obsessions are more than welcome here! wink.gif

Luv_n_Hermione -- What's up, Brock? You're from Montana, eh? I've never met anyone from there, come to think of it! huh.gif Eminem and Snape!? Now that's an ineteresting comparison. . .I'm going to have to think about that one a bit!

paulette -- A sportster, huh? I like sports, too! And who doesn't dislike it when people diss out Harry Potter? mad.gif

Celcius -- Hiya Megan! I never found Lockhart to be so amusing, either. dry.gif Whatever! tongue.gif And I'm still (though the theory has been debunked by JK Rowling personally) am on the "Dumbledore is Alive" bandwagon, too. sad.gif Who needs the grieving process, anyway!? laugh.gif

priorincantato -- Welcome, Nicole! I love chicken Caesar salad, too! Yum! lol...Deathly Hallows is coming out so soon, you better start posting in our Book 7 Theories threads! wink.gif

!mugglemary! -- There is no such thing as "older than dirt!" tongue.gif I hear that 50 is the new 20, anyway! And you'd be surprised to know that there is a fourteen-year-old girl who lives around the corner from me named Mary. wink.gif Though, I must admit, it is becoming quite rare! Anyway, age is never a factor here at VTM, so enjoy!

I love Harry -- Welcome!

Arcturus -- Hello there, Matt (that's my brother's name, too)! Hehe, so "Tolkien" is your hobby!? tongue.gif Interesting.... I, too, love both Luna and Dumbledore! You'll find some interesting threads about them around here.

fullthrottle -- What's up, Jessica? So many people dislike Lockhart today, eh!? huh.gif Well, have fun waiting for the last book!

Autumn Flowers -- Hello, Nix! That's a very cool name!! What does it mean? huh.gif You read the Harry Potter books with your brother? Lucky. . .nobody in my family reads them! sad.gif

canoncansodoff -- You're from India? I have many Indian friends. . .I've always wanted to visit! So you're a Harry Potter fan who dislikes canon-Harry Potter? Very interesting. . .I'm going to have to think about that! tongue.gif


Well, that's all for the Introductions! biggrin.gif Feel free to PM me, or any other Head Auror or Wizengamot member, if you need any assistance or have any questions! We're here to help!

Have fun posting, and I'll be sure to see you around!

My nickname started in my church with my youth pastor so I just stuck with it!
It means no (weird, eh?)
My brother and I are pretty close but not that close.
He reads them and I read them but we don't together.
We get into some little disputes now and then....I mean after all we are siblings.
We compete to see who can read faster sometimes!
We also watch the movies to find mistakes and funny places to pause!
Sadness..... nobody in your family reads them?
Well I consider all friends my family......so welcome to the family!
Yayz!!

MorgaineLeFay
Name: For this forum - and many others: Morgaine Le Fay - or just Morgaine tongue.gif
Age: 25
Location: Germany
Hobbies:listening to music (gothic, medieval, etc), reading books, visit medieval Markets and also concerts and festivals, meet friends, go to cinema (or watch movies at home), visit castles, tarot, Mangas & Animes
Favorite character: Tonks and Remus, also Hermine
Least favorite character:Draco and Lucius
How you came across Veritaserum: J.K. Rowling's HP
Favourite Bands/Artists:Let me say it like that: a lot of Gothic- and Medieval-Bands who are from Germany
Likes:Natur, Pagan, Chocolat and wine gums (which you can see by looking at me rolleyes.gif ), fall - the foggy wheather during fall, summer because of the medieval markets, celtic, ireland, irish folk music, meat (my realy fav. alc drink - followed from red wine)
Dislikes:onions wacko.gif , geman folk music, policy
Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : In fact of that that I love Medieval markets you can find me there with a medieval dress and some other sort of medieval things - like a drinking-horn (for my fav. meat) and jewel and such things. And I can stay for a day or two on such a market if it is a good one and the music's good too.
My fav colors are black, purpel, winered and green. I would like to get a tatoo on my shoulder I just don't know yet what it should be exactly
To HP: first of all I was not intrested in HP at all. I didn't read one of the books and when the first movie came out friends took me to the cinema and I liked it. But I said to myselfe that I would not read the books. I thought they might be a little "off my age". Well, as the fourth movie was about to start - 3 or 4 month before the start of it when they started to show the trailer at cinema - I watched a movie in cinema with some colleagues from work and they said to me: should we go the 4th movie? And I said that I watched the first and didn't see one of the others so one of my colleagues offered me to lend me the DVDs and so I watched them. After that I desided to get me the books and I found that the english books came in a pakage of all 4 together as paperback (i like paperback most and they where cheaper than the german edition) so I orderd them. As we came nearer the days when the 4th movie was about to start and we made an appointment for the date I thought that I had to read the 4th book at least until the yule-ball because I was so excited to know what happend at the ball (and one of my thoughts that I have after one bad experience is never reading a book befor you go to the movie) that when we were in the movie I had read the 4th book complete. And know I have preorderd the 7th book and tell everybody who wants to listen or not that I can't wait to get that book biggrin.gif

Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : Okay, well I'm a HUGE soccer fan! Unfortunately, I couldn't watch the 2006 World Cup live, but I only missed one game! It was Englang vs. Portugal. But anyways, I pretty spent my summer watching that...it was really fun though. My favorite players are, Henry, Zidane (retired..but still one of the best players ever!), Ballack, Rooney, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Crouch, Beckham, Dempsey (just 'cause he scored the only goal for U.S. lol), wow, I could go on forever, but I better not. I'm also a space/NASA/rocket/astronomy freak. I want to work in that field someday. But yeah, I just love all that stuff with space shuttles, the whole NASA dea.

Hiya Potion Maker! A Snape/Alan Rickman fan, eh? I bet you'd enjoy the Snape appreciation thread. It isn't really called that, but thats pretty much the gist biggrin.gif There is also an Alan Rickman thread, both in the Lounge. I hope you enjoy VTM!

The same goes to you Hpobsessed94! Welcome to Veritaserum!

Hey MorgaineLeFay, the Medievel attire sounds really interesting along with everything you do at the market (dance, or sing, and enjoy the lifestyle). I wonder if there are any others on VTM who do the same...

Hi Harrylvr...never heard of Nepal!? I've heard of it, nestled right up with Cana...no wait...down there with Argentina... AH, just kidding, over North of India. And whoa, it looks as if you have a lot of homework on your hands sad.gif I hope to see you around the forums as long as it doesn't get in the way of that!

El Barto
Hi Ashy! If you want to, you can always post in the TV and Media section of the site to talk about movies, especially A Time To Kill. I don't think a thread has been started on that movie, though.

Hiya Piglet, I hope you enjoy the forums! Hey, maybe Umbridge is just misunderstood. I hear that the new director doesn't think too highly of the character either biggrin.gif

Hey My_Chemical_Romance! I'm glad you found VTM! I for one found the site after looking for information on the 4th movie a while back smile.gif

Glad you're here Mr. Mojo Risin'! I remember that line, its one of those that I gotta use sometime (not that I have a similar difficulty to teachers that Harry has).

Hi there to all the newcomers! smile.gif

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....wink.gif 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...

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 smile.gif

Welcome to all! smile.gif

My name's Darcy, I'm a Head Auror, AKA as a prefect here at VTM.

Samantha, I'm two states up from you in South Dakota! I don't know if you've found it yet, but there is a group of very dedicated Snape fans here at VTM, and you will find their fan club, S.O.S.S. (Severely Obsessed Snape Society) right here. They also have a separate website for the Society.

Jayne, looks like you got married at the same age as I did! My son loves those Reese's Pieces, too. smile.gif Isn't the Isle of Wight where Queen Victoria is buried? Or am I wrong? Either way, I'm sure there's much more to it than that!

Snape fan, I'm sure there are still many threads you'd find very interesting for book theory discussion, especially the one dedicated to the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows You can find that forum right here. I hope you enjoy it here. I love it! You also may like to visit the Snape Society --the link is above in my message to Samantha. smile.gif

Candy! Yay! I have already 'met' you in the Older HP Fans thread, and you're such a welcome addition! Have you checked out the Marauder's Fan Club yet? That might be a fun place for you to explore!

Brittany, you sound so talented! smile.gif One thread you'd fit right in at is called How Many Instruments Do You Play?

I hope you all enjoy VTM so much you stay on and become regulars. Thanks for giving me a chance to know you all a little better right here. smile.gif

Equusfixer
Greetings all,

I'm Equusfixer. I'll just say I'm an adult, but I wish I was 19 again. I live in Eastern Oregon in the USA.

Aside from Harry Potter, I enjoy reading mysteries-especially The Cat Who... books and Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown books. I also cook, sew, and garden. Outside the house, my husband and I raise show and race horses.

My favourite character is Professor Lupin, and my least favourite is Professor Snape. I came across this forum on a tip from one of my friends, I'm not sure if she posts here or not but I know she visits often.

My favourite group is Big & Rich (a country duo) but I like all types of music. My favourite artist of all time is Chris LeDoux (another country singer) I knew him when he wasn't famous for his singing, just his rodeo bareback riding.

I'm pretty easy going, so I like most anything, but I'm not too hot on eating vegetables though.

I guess that's about it, I'm off now to finish reading the rules and FAQs. I wonder if this post is long enough? I guess I'll find out-it would be pretty embarrassing to get banned on my first ever post here! smile.gif

Um ok, well my name's Sam and I'm 17. I live in Indiana and I found Veritaserum from a link my friend sent me in another hp forum. I like reading, chatting on the computer, playing video games, and hanging out with my friends. That's all for now. Great forum!
Aethonon
Welcome to VTM, everyone! I'm Darcy.

I've had the pleasure of sorting some of you. smile.gif

It always blows me away how such a diverse group of people can be attracted to the Harry Potter stories and films. We're of all ages and countries here!

I'm a 45-year-old mom of 1 from South Dakota. My son is 20 now. When a new HP book would come out, we'd sit and read it together. My son likes to be read to. It was a terrific thing for us to find at a time when most parents and kids are growing apart. smile.gif So please don't ever feel you're too old for HP!

We have a lot of neat forums here...some are for discussion of books, some the films, some are just for fun and games. The Lounge forum has lots of fun threads for fan clubs for characters, threads for your Hogwarts House, and even one for the over-20 years old crowd, and yep, it is a crowd, there's lots of us! Candy has already introduced herself there and joined in the discussions, a great new asset!

The Great Hall is for more serious discussions, both of HP theories and world events, which is why there are special restrictions on that one, but new members are always welcome there too.

I really hope all of you stick with us--2007 will be a very exciting year in the Potter-verse! smile.gif
shishka
Thanks for the welcome! Sorry I haven't posted much but I am a member of several other forums as well. But don't worry! I will make time for Veritaserum, too!
-Roonil Wazlib-
Although I'm not exactly new here, I thought it wise to post a sort of re-introduction.
I've been a member here for around a year and a half, although looking back I only ever posted a couple of times. It's been so long, I don't even remember how I found this site!

So, hello once again!
I'm Jemma and I'm now nearly 16.
I live in the area of England that is both London and Kent, aren't I lucky!?

The biggest of my hobbies is music. I play the guitar, bass and keyboard (not that well, mind!) and listen to artists ranging from Dire Straits to PANIC! At the Disco!
My other hobbies include comedy, reading, film, and just hanging out with friends.

For my favourite character, I think I'll refer back to my original introduction; I don't think I could say it any better:
QUOTE
My favourite character? Well, it's a close contest between Sirius and Remus, but I think I like Lupin a teensy bit more! I just really respect his character, he has a lot of good in him. From the best character to read point of view, I like Severus. His character is so complex, even I don't know whether he's confused, good, bad or evil!


My Least favourite character of the moment has to be Fernir Greyback; he's just unnecessarily nasty.

What else?
Ah, likes and dislikes..
I like a really good film, a really nice hug, and the smell of aftershave.
I don't like mind games, being too hot, and sweetcorn.

I just wish I could remember what my avatar used to be, I'm sure it was awesome!

Jemma

For the villiant character, i would have to choose draco!
he was boosting himself too much..

Im so glad that I came to Veritaserum

Medea
Hi, my name is Medea
I've read each Harry Potter's books three times (in English and Portuguese).
I'm really excited about the fifth film but I heard that Dobby will not appear. Who then will Harry about the Requirement Room?
In fact, I'm also anxious about the 6th film as we'll finally have the great Alan Rickman acting in most scenes (hopefully). Sometimes I get some disappointed at watching the films and seeing him so little. But at the sixth one, he'd better be in at least 60% of the scenes.
I read some comment that Imelda Staunton would not be good at playing the role of Dolores Umbridge because she can't look that evil. Well, I saw Imelda in some movies and I can assure that she can play any role she wants to. She's just amazing. Nobody will be disappointed by her acting.
See you.

Hello there everbody, welcome to forums.

My name is Elaine, and like Darcy one of the more mature members on VTM. I haven't come across many of you yet but I hope that will change soon.

In the meantime here are some links to threads some of you might enjoy.

-Ronnil Wazlib_ aka Jemma. Anothe r Birt and from the garden of England no less, a beautiful part of the country. I see you're a fan of the wonderful Mr Lupin. You may be interested in joining our own unofficial fan club dedicated to our furry friend. SPELL can be found here.

doctorhands aka Kayla I see you have a soft spot for the blond bombshell Draco Malfoy. Then you may be interested in joining A Draught of Dramatic Draconian Drawls, VTMs Ton/Draco fan club.

JJ9437 - Jennifer, my daughters name biggrin.gif great name! I am sure that you will soon find others with an interest in costuming.

kayla_hgs also Kayla, well thats cool, 2 Kaylas in the same posting.

Medea - You have just missed our homage to the wonderful Mr Rickmans birthday. But you will be more than welcome to join S.O.S.S. where you will find fans of both Alan and Snape.

I hope to see you all around soon, and look forward to readind some of your posts.

Elaine


RonsGirl
Thanks for the welcome. I'm happy just going by RonsGirl. I chose that because I identify a lot with Hermione except that I would have long ago told Ron how I feel about him. I'm an adult living in the USA and have read all the HP books at least three times each.

I am a serious Potterhead and feel strongly that 100 years from now people will be enjoying the Harry Potter stories. I really enjoy Snape and can't wait to find out whether he is on the side of Good or Evil. I also love Neville because he is so full of untapped potential.

That's all for now.
Fireball
Name: Well, my dad wanted to name me Tessa, but my mom liked Sophie better, so... I'm Sophie. dry.gif

Location: In the amazing U.S. of A!

Hobbies: I'm a writer (fanfic and orignal works) and an aspiring artist (I love my art class at school!). I also LOV E music, reading, and dancing (modern, because the movement is so free), goofing off with my friends, and taking random pictures.

Favorite character: Honestly, I think Ginny and Ron are my two favorite characters, because Ron is so clueless and hilarious, and Ginny is a very passionate, strong-willed, no nonsense kind of girl. biggrin.gif

Least favorite character: Snape. I was going to pick Voldemort/Tom Riddle, but I actually sort of pity him.

How you came across Veritaserum: I was Googling something to do with Harry Potter.

Favourite Bands/Artists: Relient K, Switchfoot, Kristen Cheonweth (I love her song "Taylor the Latte Boy - it's hilarious!), and a bunch of soundtracks.

Any Other Random Info You'd Like To Give! : I'm really weird - my friends tell me that every day, but in a nice way. I love being crazy, because life is more fun when you live it to the fullest. My favorite ships are Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. cool.gif
