Gryffindor Graduated | Name: Sydney Sokolva Location: Indian Territory, Western USA Age (only if you want to say): 30 Hobbies & Interests: Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels, K9 Search and Rescue work, Woodworking, Reading, Tree identification. Favorite band/musician: Very difficult, because I have so many! First few that come to mind are that really enjoy Demon Hunter, Florence and the Machine, and He is Legend. Favorite food: Soft Tofu Kimchi Stew, and my husband's whole smoked Turkey. Fave non-HP movie: Princess Mononoke Fave HP book: The Deathly Hallows, Book 7. Fave HP movie: The Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3 Fave character(s) and why: Harry Potter. He always connected with me from my early childhood to adult years. I could really understand and empathize with his thoughts, his reactions, and the difficulties he faced in Hogwarts each year. I respected his courage and wanted to be brave and loyal to my friends like he was. Anything else: Its great to meet you all, I've been a Harry Potter fan since the first book came out when I was 6. The book was the first complex chapter book I read on my own as a child, and took me from a meh unskilled reader into one who voraciously read every book I could get my hands on, and inspired me from that moment on with the desire to become a writer, so that I could make beautiful worlds and stories like J.K. Rowling did. Since then, I have met many other books and found many other excellent literary mentors in the stories I read and the authors I met through their books. I am currently working on the research portion of my PhD studies and editing my first Science Fiction trilogy, the first book of which I will be submitting to publication soon.

| Name: Scott Location: Edinburgh, Scotland - "birthplace" of Harry Potter with a lot of inspiration drawn from the city and also home to JKR! Hobbies & Interests: Reading! I read about 2-3 books a week and usually re-read the Harry Potter series at least once a year. I'm also a huge fan of JKR's Strike private detective series (under her pen name Robert Galbraith) and anything by Anthony Horowitz. I love travelling but my favourite place to visit for a nice, peaceful break in the sun is Fethiye in Turkey. Favorite band/musician: Ella Henderson Favorite food: Anything Italian Fave non-HP movie: The Hunger Games Fave HP book: Half-Blood Prince Fave HP movie: PS and COS were truest to the books and introduced the series that defined my childhood. Fave character(s) and why: I have too many favourites - it changes with each book and each time I read them. I've just finished re-reading Goblet of Fire and currently Mrs Weasley is my reigning favourite - theres a moment towards the end of chapter 'Parting of the Ways' (see below) where Harry is in the hospital wing following everything that happened in the graveyard and blaming himself for Cedric's death when Mrs Weasley bends down and hugs him. Having lost my own mother at a young age it really struck a chord and unashamedly I cried my way through the paragraph, I had so much love for Mrs Weasley in that moment. Quote:
Mrs Weasley set the potion down on the bedside cabinet, bent down, and put her arms around Harry. He had no memory of ever being hugged like this, as though by a mother. The full weight of everything he had seen that night seemed to fall in upon him as Mrs Weasley held him to her.
Looking forward to meeting everyone! |

I'm fond of the Harry Potter universe since I'm 5 years old, and I am 27 now!
I love all the books so much! (it's impossible to choose a favorite).
I travel around the world and live as a "digital nomad", so I don't have a fixed location.
I create websites and android apps (I recently created a Harry Potter Trivia Quiz app with extremely difficult questions about the books.

Hey, I'm Digital octane, Dig, Digi or any other variation thereof. It's the same across the internet so its probably me if you see this screen name.
Age wise, I squarely fit in the millennial category. I live in the north east of the UK.
Avid dreamer and a sufferer of asymptomatic happiness.
Grown up with HP and at times got deep in the lore but never interacted with the fan base.
I have a film background and have recently had thoughts of creating a series of HP film shorts (<5 minutes) introducing characters from the wider world. So will probably lean on the community for input if your keen.
Ask me anything you like.

Well. I'm a well-aged fan of the Potter series and movies.
I'm also (far more) deeply into the works of Tolkien.
I've not re-read Rowling's works since my first reading 2 decades ago, but a question in the Tolkien forum compared Rowling's Snape to Tolkien's Maeglin - and I found I was not prepared to speak well to Snape's life and character, thus comparisons and contrasts between them.
I of course have my perception of Snape - but the perception is aged, and incomplete.
A brief review of Rowling's works show me her character development in many cases was a little better than I recall, Snape being among those we get to know fairly well.
SO - here I am, joining a Potter forum to help me as I begin an in-depth revisiting of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and associated 'stuff.'
There you have it. Not much else to say at present.
