Mary's Quick Facts! My hometown - Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My occupation – Teacher. My hobbies – Reading and writing for the most part. My favorite HP book – They all, for the most part, have their strengths but probably HBP. The characters are very well developed and the plot is terribly interesting and you don’t have to say goodbye… except to Dumble… How many times have I read each book? – An average of half a dozen times each I have to admit. My favorite non-HP book – Uther by Jack Whyte and Catcher in the Rye. My favorite HP character – Ginny. Strong female who always does what she knows is best, regardless of what others say or think. Stubborn and strong willed while still being compassionate and sweet. First RP character – Mary Evans S3. My favorite movies & TV shows – I don’t watch TV in general… But movies… Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind… Universal’s Peter Pan… Gosford Park… and perhaps a few others but those are brilliant. My favorite actors/actresses – Clive Owen and Maggie Smith. Celia's Quick Facts! My hometown – Manchester, UK My occupation – School Student My hobbies – Reading, Internet (where I spend most of my time), Cross stitch (when I find time!), playing guitar, umm…yeah. I spend most of my time doing one of those things or working… My favourite HP book – Well, I loved Goblet of Fire at the time, and still do, but I also love the latest 2. I wasn't a big fan of the 5th one. Maybe I should read it again. The first 3 were good, but nothing comparable to the later ones. How many times have I read each book? – Only once, I think, though I've listened to the first 2 or 3 quite a few times on tape. I really should re-read them all, but I also have loads of other books to get to! My favourite non-HP book – Having recently read Checkmate, I've once again realised just how amazing the Noughts and Crosses trilogy by Malorie Blackman is, so I think I'll have to say those. There’re several other books that I’ve enjoyed, but that trilogy just, as my friend put it when she first introduced me to them, gives you a “punch in the face.” My favourite HP character – Well, Snape's a great character (portrayed brilliantly by Alan Rickman, may I add, in the films), though I wouldn't like him as a teacher. Ron's a great character too, though he can be rather annoying. And I can relate to Hermione pretty well. Oh, and the Weasley twins are just genius. First RP character – Sophia Hallington H3…Yeah, the shy, rather boring one. My favourite movies & TV shows – House and The Simpsons for TV I'd have to say though there're loads of programmes I'd happily watch…pretty much any comedy shows. And I love “quizcoms” like QI, Mock the Week and Have I got News for You. As for films...well, I'm a fan of quite a few...I like "Romcoms" and generally all comedies. My favourite actors/actresses – I think Hugh Laurie's excellent as House in House, and I'm also a fan of Colin Firth.

Ivy's Quick Facts!
My hometown - Manchester, UK.
My occupation - School student.
My hobbies - reading, writing, violin, piano, singing, computer games, MSN and embroidery.
My favorite HP book - Either Prisoner of Azkaban or The Order of the Phoenix, they were both very well written and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the one that got me into the books.
How many times have I read each book? - A lot. Philosopher's Stone - probably about 10, by the look of the cover. Chamber of Secrets - about 5 times. Prisoner of Azkaban - about 5 times. Goblet of Fire - about 4 times. Order of the Phoenix - 3 times. Half-Blood Prince - 3 times. Deathly Hallows - 2 times.
My favorite non-HP book - Hmm. I'll read just about anything if it's well written. The Abhorsen trilogy, the Wind on Fire trilogy, City of Masks & City of Flowers, His Dark Materials trilogy, and the Emperor series are my favorites.
My favorite HP character - Ron Weasley and Dumbledore. Ron - he's a good friend, but a little jealous at times, and I find some parts of his character amusing. Dumbledore - He is just so very witty if you read Harry Potter 1 in Latin.
First RP character - Ivy Tunstall, the third year Hufflepuff.
My favorite movies & TV shows - Both Bridget Jones films, Pirates of the Caribbean. TV - House of Cards, Star Trek: Enterprise, anything Star Trek, House, Heartbeat, Judge John Deed, New Tricks.
My favorite actors / actresses - Can't say I really have any.

Charles' Quick Facts!
My hometown - Cairo, Egypt
My occupation - Engineering Student, Electronics Major, in my fourth year
My hobbies - Classical music, I mainly listen to it but I've gone back to playing the piano after having left it for a while. Reading - anything that will stand still for long enough.
My favorite HP book - Half-Blood Prince. I think it contains some of Jo's best writing.
How many times have I read each book? So many I've lost count.
My favorite non-HP book - Hmmm, it's hard to narrow down a list. Anything Dan Brown, Angels and Demons being my favourite. Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman is a brilliant book. Sidney Sheldon, Agatha Christie and John Grisham are high on the list as well.
My favorite HP character - Remus Lupin, I really feel for him. You've got to admire a fine teacher and loyal friend and a person who's so kind after all he's been through. Ginny Weasley as well - again because of Book 6, she really blossomed out in that book.
First RP character - Nasser Salah, but don't read his old posts, they're embarrassing.

Ariane's Quick Facts!
My hometown - Manchester, England, UK.
My occupation - Student.
My hobbies - Reading, writing, fanfiction, roleplaying, Internet, TV, singing, badminton, music, art, sleeping, talking and being with friends and family!
My favourite HP book - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; least favourite is Order of the Phoenix. Harry was much too moody there! But then again, I think if I read Philosopher's Stone again, I'd think that was the worst.
How many times have I read each book? - Phff. Countless for Goblet of Fire - maybe even fifty times, seeing as my brother and I have read it so many times the hardback cover fell off! Prisoner of Azkaban I have probably read at least twenty times, if not more, and Chamber of Secrets about ten times. Philosopher's Stone was not that great, so probably round five times. I've only read Order of Phoenix twice to three times, because I didn't like it at all; same for Half-Blood Prince because I couldn't be bothered and my interest was beginning to wane (I was maturing... I think). Finally, I've only read Deathly Hallows once... maybe one and a half, because it's too long for me to read it again and I need to wait a while if I do want to too.
My favourite non-HP book - Hm... too many to name. Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz I have read countless of times too, but that's because it's easy reading, not because it's a great piece of work (but it's good nonetheless). Plus, Alex Rider is too loveable not to read about! All the books in the unfinished series are just as good as each other, so no favourites generally there.
My favourite HP character - I love them all, really... To name my top few, Ron, Hermione, the twins, Luna... I love most of them.
My first RP character - Harmony Chan H2 (poor thing...)
My favourite movies & TV shows - Too many to name! But one of my most favourite movies is Hero. TV shows, I love lots of American dramas, like Heroes, Brothers and Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, 24, House, Scrubs, Friends, Bones, etc. British TV, I love Doctor Who and Torchwood, and I watch my fair share of Japanese anime and Korean/Chinese series.
My favourite actors/actresses - Goodness knows - they're all pretty darn good! Though Hugh Laurie is fantastic as Gregory House in House - he's the only one popping into my head as I write this. Good on the British! His American accent is amazing.
Cassandra's Quick Facts! My hometown - I am from Chattanooga, TN., but I currently live in Nashville, TN. Oscar's Quick Facts! My hometown - Canterbury, UK.

My occupation - I work in the insurance industry, but I become a law student extraordinaire at night. (I'm sort of like a super hero that way!)
My hobbies - I enjoy reading and collecting music. I'm sad to say I have more records, tapes, and CDs than any person should rightly own. I also collect antique books.
My favourite HP book - It's between Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban I just love angsty Harry, but I love Azkaban because I think the adult's story is so interesting. It's just so hard to decide.
How many times have I read each book? - I have read them all to many times to count.
My favourite non-HP book - These are so hard to choose. Twilight, the Dragonlance Series, The Chronicles of Narnia, and anything by Kim Winters.
My favourite HP character - The bad boy, Sirius Black.
My first RP character - Poor, quiet Cassandra Logton G3. Oh goodness, look what she has become.
My favourite movies & TV shows - The Tudors, House, True Blood, Angel, Hairspray, Chicago, and The Dark Knight.
My favourite actors/actresses - I adore Hugh Laurie in House. I also enjoying anything with Robert Pattinson, Nicole Kidman, or Jack Black in it.

My occupation - Student. (:
My hobbies - Photography, reading, writing, meeting friends, eating noodles in noodle bars, baking/burning cakes, art, procrastinating.
My favourite HP book - HBP was admittedly amazing and nurtured my Snape lovee. I'd would say the Deathly Hallows if it didn't have the silly ending. So, probably Order of the Phoenix.
How many times have I read each book? - An unhealthy amount, that's for sure.
My favourite non-HP book - Tess of D'Urbervilles, We Need To Talk About Kevin, the Wicca books, the Inheritance series, the Noughts & Crosses trilogy, Wind on Fire trilogy, Abhorsen trilogy, Angels & Demons, anything Roald Dahl and most Oscar Wilde. =D
My favourite HP character - Bella! I adore her. To pieces. The fact that Helena portrayed her in the films only makes her more amazing.
My first RP character - I think Leon Harrow. RIP. ):
My favourite movies & TV shows - Fwaa, I have so many films that I adore. Shawshank Redemption, The Prestige, Into The Wild, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Castle in the Sky... the list goes on. As for TV, just Gossip Girl for me. :3
My favourite actors/actresses - Heath Ledger forever. Helena Bonham Carter. Zach Braff. Justine Waddell as Tess.
