Wow, this is a difficult question since both of them could be fascinating people to meet. However, I am going to take the sneaky way out and say Daniel Radcliffe. After all, Emma Watson said it herself, he IS Harry Potter

1. Do you have any tips for us foreigner the easiest way to memorize Japanese Kanji? because I'm planning to take Nihongo Noryoku Shiken next year and I'm still struggling with it
2. Can you describe yourself in one word?
3. Why did you choose Kurumi as your school RPG character name? If I'm not mistaken Kurumi is the Japanese word for walnut, right?
1. Merlin do I struggle with kanji like no other. I can type and read it just fine now
ish. Have you ever heard of a man named James Heisig? He is brilliant! With his method I remembered how to write and the meaning of somewhere around 200 kanji in the span of two weeks. The trick with kanji is that there are three steps to remembering them: reading, writing, and meaning. Trying to do all three at once is overwhelming, so its best to break it up into smaller parts. In his method, you learn kanji by utilizing all the constituent parts of a kanji's written form, and a mnemonic device that Heisig refers to as "imaginative memory" - like making up a story about a kanji to help you remember it. Super helpful.
and...good luck with the JLPT, I have yet to actually pass the level I want/need to.
2. nope, don't think I can
Might be because of all the coffee I am drinking.
3. Kurumi has been a name that I have liked for a long time. One of my favorite students I ever taught was named Kurumi and I just like how easily it rolls off the tongue. It is not a very common name these days here in Japan. And the word does mean walnut, but the kanji for her name mean something entirely different. There are three and they mean 'long time/old story' 'Lapis lazuli' and 'beaitiful'.

How it is like to be such an popular on this site
I think what drew me in was the fact that it really all could be happening right now under our very noses. The fact ther Rowling wrote about places that we all know in the "Muggle" world really helped me feel like I was a part of the world.
And, I am just glad that I can give back to a site that had brought so much to me

1a. Is reading half good enough? 'Cause that's all I read. XD
2) If you could attend SS Hogwarts for ONE TERM, which previous term would it be?
3) If you could also only attend one lesson, which would it be and with which professor?
3a. Again, only SS peeps.
3b. Hehe. I'm gonna make this one harder and say only professors that were around BK (Before Kurumi).
4) Cause I like even numbers... Which is your favorite Diagon Alley charrie? Can't be mine our yours.
1) just as long as you don't repeat questions
which you haven't so you are safe
2) When I was poking through the archives to help with things for the SS wiki, I came across a few terms where I know Kurumi would have loved it - like Mermaid Squirmish because she really likes mermaids...or the term where everyone was turning into creatures
3a) Professor Zookara so I could drool all over him?
hehe. Actually, one of my favorite lessons I have participated in was the Pingo paint fight during Tate's DADA my first year.
3b)
Come my little friends as we all sing a happy little working song...
That ought to answer that one
4) Probably Bryce over in Ollivanders. Actually, he was the first character I EVER RPed with on site, so he holds a special place in my little SS heart:loved;

Well, JK Rowling herself has sorted me and placed me in Gryffindor

First of all I LOVE this website it's awesome...
What is your favourite fantastic creature? Hello and welcome! I am glad to hear you are enjoying SS!
Hmmm...I might be a lot like my character and say dragons, although I also think and phoenixes and centaurs are interesting as well

4) You like mermaids, yeah?
5) If you were a reverse Ariel, do you think you would make the same decisions as our mermaid friend? Like...*is bad at explaining things*...If you had the chance to give up your voice to live as a mermaid until you were kissed by a merman or until your time ran up and then you were stuck wayyyy beneath the sea, suddenly unable to breathe the water anymore, would you take the opportunity?
Oh Nina, your questions always amuse me. At least I don't have to combine fruits and vegetables this time!
1) back when I was an exchange student I had to come up with a new email address for my phone and had NO clue what to do, so I looked at what was around me and saw a pamphlet that said sweet pink paradise or something on it...but that sounded kind of creepy, so I changed paradise for pixie because I like faeries
2) probably not
Mostly because I don't know what I would change it to!
3) oops, erm, sort of just answered that one
4) YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
I used to want to be one when I was little
and still do
5) You know, I always thought Ariel was a bit...insane for doing all that after falling in love with a guy after first sight. I'm not sure I believe in all that, so I probably wouldn't do what she did
