The Ultimate Harry Potter Tag

Today I will be doing the "Ultimate Harry Potter Tag". (you can see the original video here)
It has 30 questions devided in 6 categories so here we go!

Category A
1. Favourite book?
"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", I just love all the insight that we get to Voldemort's past
2. Least favourite book?
I love all of them... I would have to say Deathly Hallows, because it's the last one but it is still a great book
3. Favourite movie?
I'm not sure but maybe Prisoner of Azkaban, it's the one I've seen the most
4. Least favourite movie?
Order of the Pheonix, the book is so good and the movie didn't make it any justice
5. Favourite quote?
Book - " We've all got both light and the dark inside us. The part we choose to act on, that's who we really are."
Movie - "Light can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light."

Category B - Characters
6. Favourite Weasley?
Bill
7. Favourite female character?
Hermione or Ginny
8. Favourite villain?
Voldemort
9. Favourite male character?
Harry Potter...
10. Favourite professor?
Lupin

Category C - Would You Rather
11. -Wash Snape's hair or -Spend a day listening to Lockhart rant about himself
Listening to Lockhart, I hate Snape too much
12. Duel: -An elated Bellatrix or -An angry Molly
It's pretty scary either way, but I guess Bellatrix because she was the one who got defeated, not Molly
13. Travel to Hogwarts via: -Hogwarts Express or -Flying car.
Hogwarts Express
14. -Kiss Voldemort or -Give Umbridge a bubble bath.
Kiss Voldemort? Anything is better than giving Umbridge a bath
15. -Ride a hippogriff or -Ride a firebolt
Riding a hippogriff sounds amazing so that

Category D - Book to Movie Adaptation
16. Is there a character which you felt differently about in the movies vs books?
Ron, I much prefered him in the books I almost hated him in the movies
17. Is there a movie you preferred instead of the book?
No
18. Richard Harris or Michael Gambon as Dumbledore?
Richard Harris
19. Your top thing (person or event) which wasn't included in the movie that annoyed you most.
All the events that happened in the Department of Mysteries in Order of the Pheonix, I "loved" reading that in the books and in the movie it was so bland even though the acting was really good
20. If you could remake any of the Potter movies, which would it be?
Don't know if you can guess but Order of the Phoenix!

Category E - Hogwarts
21. Which house was your first gut feeling you'd be a part of?
Ravenclaw
22. Which house were you actually sorted into on Pottemore (or another online sorting quiz)?
At first I was a Hufflepuff, but I lost that account and was then sorted into Ravenclaw (I didn't cheat I promise)
23. Which class would be your favourite?
I think Transfiguration
24. Which spell do you think would be most useful to learn?
Accio
25. Which character do you think at Hogwarts you'd instantly become best friends with?
Maybe Hermione

Category F - Miscellaneous
26. If you could own one of the three Hallows, which would it be?
If I had a wand already, it would be the insibility cloak, but if I hadn't it would be the Elder Wand
27. Is there any aspect of the books you'd want to change? This can be a character, and event, anything.
No, even though there are people I wish hadn't died, but it's all part of the books that I love so I wouldn't change it
28. Favourite marauder?
I love all except Wormtail obviously, but I would say Moony
29. If you could bring one character back to life, which would it be?
Lily Potter or Lupin (or Dobby but thHallows the main ones)
30. Hallows or horcruxes?
Hallows

So that was my tag!

Movies / TV Shows I Want to Watch This Summer


 School is finally over! Which means no tests, no stress and, even better, moore time for me to dedicate to watching movies and TV shows. Here are some of the certainly many I am going to watch!



 I chose only movies that came out this year to feature in this post and here they are:
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron
This was released in May but I haven't seen it yet. I absolutely love the Marvel Universe so I am very excited to see this follow up to the 2012 Avengers film.

  • Jurassic World
 Released just last week this movie is doing great in the box office! I really want to see the re-opening of the park :)

  • Ant-Man
Posters publiciting this movie are now being put up and I'm quite intrigued to see what this tiny hero is all about.

  • Inside Out
 This looks like such a cute movie! Who never wanted to know what was going on in another person's mind?

  • Pitch Perfect 2
 Pitch Perfect 3 has been confirmed! Loved the first one and I'm sure I'll love this one as well!!


  •  Papertowns
From the author of The Fault in Our Stars, comes Papertowns. I haven't read the book yet but it is on its way  (literally I ordered it like two weeks ago but it stil hasn't came). I've heard good things about this and I really like John Green's style of writing so I can't wait!



TV Show wise:
  • Teen Wolf
 I had been watching this show very occasionally but when I saw that the 5th season would premiere in 20 days (when I first saw it, 13 days from today - 16th of june), I set myself the challenge of watching the 4 seasons in that period of time, I am currently in th middle of season 3 and really like it.

  • Doctor Who
The same as Teen Wolf except this one premiers in fall so this Summer I will watch the 8 seasons, i am just starting season 2.


  • Supernatural
The same as Doctor Who, except, moore seasons!

  • Game of Thrones
Season 5 of this show has just ended and I am in the beggining of season 4, it has less episodes so it's faster to whatch wich is both good and bad because it will most likely onlyy return spring, next year.

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I love this show very much (as I do the others just fyi)! I am right in the middle of season 6 and binge watching it!


  (I don't really like seeing Buffy with Spike, to be honest, I loved her and Angel so much so I'm a bit biased but I don't really feel like they belong, even moore because of the disgust she showed towards him earlier on the show)

I am also watching Friends (as always), Pretty little Liars and Once Upon A Time, but these are the ones I am determined to finish this Summer!
Not only is this a post  about my personal likings, these are also some sugestions to you if you're looking for something to watch!
