Ran Out of...

Well, I wasn't able to finish my 30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge on time (re: month of August). I actually wanted to finish it before the 1st of September so that I can stat the term right.. But, I got caught up with all these muggle things around me. Aiish!

Anyways, I'm thinking to still get on with it... But I actually ran out of topics I feel the need to talk about... So bear with me.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 25: That one character you love to hate.

Dolores Jane Umbridge. That's the name. Gaaah! I hate her so much. Terrible, terrible character. She's a perfect representation of politicians in the muggle world.

The worst thing? She has my mother's name! It's annoying. Plus! She's so into pink and cats like yours truly... I swear I hate her so much.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 24: Your favourite villain.

Hmm. My younger self will shout Draco Malfoy in no time... But that's basically because of young Tom Felton. Who didn't loved that little shit? Hahaha.

Well, now that I know the story to a whole new higher level... I choose Bellatrix. I don't know, she's just... Beautifully terrifying. If there's such thing in the world, that's her. I hated her when she killed off Sirius.. But there's no argument how villain she is. I think. So yeah, she's my favourite villain.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 23: Character/s you want to go to Hogwarts with.

Oooh!! This is fun! Well I wanna go to Hogwarts and be friends with:

>Sirius Black

>Remus Lupin

>Fred and George Weasly

>Nymphadora Tonks

We'll be badass, full of sass and all that! 

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 22: One character you want to have a POV

Just one??? Ugh! There are too many! Alright if I have to pick one it'll be.. Fred and George Weasley!

Can you imagine how hilarious their POV be?.. But of course heart breaking as well.. Although, I don't wanna get into that.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 21: Your most favourite quote.

“What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.”

Excerpt From: J. K. Rowling. “Harry Potter 4 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” Scholastic Press, 2000-01-02T08:00:00+00:00. iBooks. 

This material may be protected by copyright.

I think this justifies my previous entry... It is just that my favourite quote come from my favourite character.

I just love the meaning of this one. Uncertainty about the future, we often felt that way. But whatever life brings; we are to face and welcome it.

As far as I can remember, I've put it as my quote in my HS year book. And I've been living it.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 20: Your most favourite character.

Well, this is a tough one...

I love all of the main characters.. But if one will stand out... I guess it's Hagrid.

Yeah. Rebeus Hagrid is my favourite character... His loyalty is what makes him the best, I guess.. Well that's just IMO.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 19: What is your favourite thing about the "Golden Trio" (Harry, Ron and Hermione)

My favourite thing about the Golden Trio is that they complement each other.

These three characters taught me about friendship, so much that it's been a goal for me to find their kind of friendship.

They have the kind of bond that glows and grows that made others envious of them.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 18: Your favourite member of the Marauders.

I might strangle to death the one will answer Wormtail in this question.. Ok just kidding. I'll let the silver hand decide for your faith. :P

So who is my favourite member of the Marauders?.. Hmm.. I'd say Sirius. Just because. I think he's the "campus crush" on their time at Hogwarts. I think he's the coolest. ;)

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 17: Imagine you have the Deathly Hallows in your possession, what will you do with each?

Oh wow! Then I'll be the greatest! Hmmm.. That's quite exciting and bothering at the same time... I don't quite trust myself with power and responsibility. Haha!

But let's keep it light:

Elder Wand - I'll muster a spell that makes water and food available for everyone one in the world; so then no one would experience hunger.

Resurrection Stone - I'll be selfish on this one. The dead are meant to rest. Maybe when I'm dying, I'll hold on to it, so that my relatives who passed away can lead me to the right path.

Invisibility Cloak - Oh! This is my fave! Lot's of sneaking around.. :P And I won't divulge what I'll do when I have this fancy little thing.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 16: If you have a one year stock of polyjuice potion, who would you be for a whole year?

Wow. Ok, first... The person should be aware of this, s/he should take this one whole year as a break. Second, I should be paid! Hahahaha!

Well, I guess this will be a lot to get used to and it won't be easy... But I have a list of celebrities that I wanna switch places with.. Well, no, I don't want them to be me... I just want a taste of their lives... And I know I cannot live that through. Here are my top 3 picks:

1. Kendall Jenner
2. HH Queen Elizabeth II
3. JK Rowling

Hmm.. But I guess it won't be legit "poly-juice-potioning".

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 15: What is your Patronus?

I have two choices: A unicorn or a tiger... Although, according to the definition of the Patronus Charm, it conjures a magical guardian in the form of an animal to whom the conjurer feels a deep affinity with... And for that, I chose the tiger. Albus Dumbledore is the only wizard known to produced a magical creature (Phoenix) as a Patronus.. And I don't think I'm up to his abilities.. But as an Animagus, I would very much likely want to be a unicorn!

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 14: What is your favourite Tri-Wizard Tournament Challenge?

Oooh.. Just in time for this Pottermore post: The Triwizard Tournament

My favourite one is the second task! Alright, I actually hate the Triwizard Tournament when it began... Specially when Ron was being an ass towards Harry. I hated reading that; but I understand both parties... And that's the worst part!

So, second task... We went under water. Jo introduced us to the mere people on the Black Lake.. Imagine falling down under.. Creeper!

In the movies, this was Dan's most hated bit to film... He had an ear infection because of this scene... But, no pain, no gain... It was a well done thing as always!

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 13: Site one moment in yourlife that you're willing to change by using a time turner.

WARNING!!!

THIS POST CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The concept of the time turner had always amazed me... And indeed, there are certain things in my past that I longed to change, although not really. I don't do regrets. There are some what ifs, but I don't quite internalise on it. I always believed that things happen for a reason; but there are times when you just did something so stupid and you wish you could change that instantly and you wish to have a time turner with you... Then came Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

If you have watched the play or read the script book, you already know what I'm talking about... But if you haven't... Well, I suggest you read it first. You'll understand what I'm saying.

As much a possible I don't want to divulge any plot of the Cursed Child.. So I'll just go and answer the question... If I do have a time turner with me, I'll go back to the day of my high school graduation and urge myself to take a photo op with my best friends and not do the thing that I still feel stupid for doing... Give my high school crush a confession letter! I swear I'll steal that letter and burn it to ashes!

I wonder though, what could be the result of that... No, I don't want to think... I firmly believe I'll be happy wherever I'm going.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 12: If you play Quidditch, what position will you take?

Ok, let's get this straight.... I am not a sporty person; and I guess being magical does not change that... But Quidditch is amazing. So yeah, I have loved to ride in a broomstick and play it! But for what position..? Hmmm... Before that.. Let's take a look at this part of the 1st movie, where Harry is introduced to this sport by Oliver Wood:

Well.. I as much as I want to, I don't think I can be a seeker... Because, I am not as keen as Harry. Besides, my patience wore out faster than the snitch.. So, I better be a... Keeper! It's more exciting anyways.. Hahaha!

And keep in my mind that not because you have a good seeker does not necessarily mean that you'll won... Let's remember what happened to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup between Ireland and Bulgaria... Krum did caught the snitch, but Ireland still won the big thing.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 11: What will you see in the Mirror of Erised

"Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi"

This is where Jo first showed her talent at playing with words... "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" is actually read backwards: I show not your face but your hearts desire. Mirror of Erised is equivalent to Mirror of Desire. Magical? I know.

Well, this is quite a personal question... But I'll answer. I will see myself in the Mirror of Erised in a yacht, contentedly looking at my family and in the arms of a well-deserved man.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 10: Which House of Hogwarts do you represent?

"You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart." -#TheSortingHat #gryffindorpride

A photo posted by Daniella V. Marquez (@damedaniella) on May 20, 2016 at 3:32pm PDT

Need I say more? I always knew I belong in Gryffindor... Then Pottermore came and I've confirmed it. Don't get me wrong I do love all the Houses... Although when I was a bit younger, I never really liked to be sorted in other houses; but now, I won't mind.. Well, I always chose to be loyal to my House. 

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 9: Your favourite thing about Hogwarts.

My favourite thing about Hogwarts?.. It's magical.

“Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”

― Albus Dumbledore (J.K. Rowling), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Hogwarts is where I spent most of my childhood summer... I always dreamed to walk on its grounds... To discover all the rooms.. To eat in the Great Hall that is magically filled with foods, can you just imagine how heaven-like it would smell inside during meal time? I want to hangout in all of the common rooms and sleep in each house's dormitories. I want to be able to experience climbing the moving staircases, meet the ghosts and the portraits and of course play on the Quidditch pitch, or just watch... Because I'm not actually a sporty person. Anyways, that's basically everything I like about Hogwarts.

“Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” 

― J.K. Rowling

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 8: Your least favourite movie.

Alright... I know you'll think that my least favourite HP movie is the same as my least favourite HP book... But no. Sorry, wrong guess.

My least favourite HP movie is the 6th one: Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. The movie just didn't do the book any justice. The explanation of who the half-blood Prince was the worst part. Too much scenes in the book was omitted.

30-day Harry Potter Writing Challenge - Day 7: Your least favorite book.

Not so much though... But still.

Least but still favourite... Yeah well, I think it's the 5th one: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.





As to why?... Well, it's just that I need to chose one. Haha!! Kidding aside, I think it's just where my least liked scenes mostly happened: Sirius' death, Harry's first kiss (I don't like it, mainly because Harry Potter has grown up and I just, can't. Okay, the truth? I don't want to see Dan kissing someone on the big screen!!! What? I was young then.. Hahaha!), Dolores Umbridge was introduced, worst DADA class ever...

Basically that's it. Although there are some cool and exciting things and events here in this book as well.
