HP A2-A6

And so, we proceed to responding to the questions of yesterday:

Q2: What would be your favorite class(es) at Hogwarts?

Ancient runes would be high on the list.  Herself studied Latin and ancient Greek in high school, and I believe that ancient runes would be similarly enjoyable.  Herbology would be interesting as well, although Herself would be concerned that, given her penchant towards accidentally causing the demise of most flora, she would not do well in that class.  Perhaps she could enlist the help of Neville Longbottom.  Of course, Care of Magical Creatures would be most excellent. As shown by the variety of wildlife in the household menagerie, Herself is quite fond of all sorts of creatures.

Q3: What magical creature(s) would you most like to encounter?

The traditional unicorn, of course, would be pleasant.  The unusual winged creatures -- the thestral, the hippogriff, and even the phoenix -- would be truly fascinating.

Q4: What location(s) in the Harry Potter universe would you most like to visit?

Other than the most obvious -- Hogwarts, of course -- a trip to the Burrow would be lovely.  And even though it is off limits, the Forbidden Forest would be remarkable:  like the Sequoia forests, I imagine, yet populated by mysterious creatures and imbued with an almost palpable aura of magic.

Q5: Do you have a favorite Hogwarts professor, and if so, who?

This question is more difficult than I first imagined. Of the rotating Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, Professor Lupin is clearly outstanding.  Of the regular staff, Professor McGonagall -- stern, brilliant, and witty -- is so very admirable.

Q6: Which of the three hallows would you most like to have in your possession?

Simple:  the invisibility cloak.

Later:  more difficult questions!
