Personally, I really miss Peeves in the movies. The dance between Harry and Hermione in DH part 1, however, was genius!
I really wanted to see the House of Gaunt bit in the movies, to see how they would have portrayed those characters. I really liked the dance between Harry and Hermione too, even though I know a lot of people disliked it. I think it showed that they were so in need of something light-hearted, and Harry trying to do something to comfort Hermione.

3. I think I might be doing some camping in my own state, but I don't think I can call that travelling. USA and Canada next year though

Thanks

Hi

Um I've been on SS for almost 5 years now, but after a hiatus from SS, I returned about a year ago and was really active within the school RP area.

In other words, you all didn't just pick 'random' people to do these threads, but mods and such who are chosen "for the month", especially to acquaint us newbies with you?
I have several friends down under and also in Oz whom I've met through other fanfiction sites (mostly due to their writing). I've lost touch with them somewhat now -- which is why I'm here, hoping to re-connect with the HP world, its news and its fanfiction. My sons' best friends are currently there in Aussie as well, visiting with their mother who lives there; my sons are looking forward to their return to the States later this month.
As to other questions--I don't really 'know' enough about the site to know what to ask, yet---so if I may I"ll postpone questions and--when approved--spend a lot of time early-on at SS just reading and figuring my way around.
Thank you for your kind welcome!
Hello! Welcome to SS

Yes, the Newbie threads have one mod each month to do a meet and greet so that we can meet some of our lovely new members.
I hope you enjoy the areas within SS, they are all fantastic. There are a few of us Aussies here on site too, and I hope you can find some new connections with the other wonderful members from around the world as well

what is the weirdest food you've ever eaten?
HI LIZ

Uh probably crocodile O_o and kangaroo. I tend to stick to relatively normal foods lol, but I think the crocodile and kangaroo I ate were probably the weirdest of the foods I've tried.

Hi

Uhh that's a hard one... probably the third one. It's my most read and most watched of the series, I could put it on and switch off in front of it.
ANYWAY, that's me for (very late) January! Thank you for all of your questions

I hope to see you all around SS!
