Outlander Alert...

For those of you unfamiliar with the vocabulary of my friend John B., outlanders are those who take fantasy one step further and try to make it reality...you know, people are seen wearing capes to class, and like to practice sword fighting (if not sorcery) on the weekends. I've never taken things quite this far, but Harry Potter tends to bring out my inner outlander. So here's my little outlander quiz:

1. If you were Sorted, of which house would you be a part? (here's a quiz to find out--the questions are somewhat transparent, but still fun)
2. What shape does your Patronus take? (another quiz, but it's pretty lame)
3. What do you see in the Mirror of Erised?
4. What do you see when approached by a Boggart?
5. Who would you kiss after winning a Quidditch match?
6. Who would you play in the film version of, say, Harry Potter VII (since it includes virtually all the characters)?

1. If you were Sorted, of which house would you be a part?

I would probably end up in ravenclaw or Slytherin.

2. What shape does your Patronus take?

Probably an eagle or lemming.

3. What do you see in the Mirror of Erised?

Me, holding my PhD and an offer to teach at a nice university.

4. What do you see when approached by a Boggart?

The unemployment line.

5. Who would you kiss after winning a Quidditch match?

The gardener

6. Who would you play in the film version of, say, Harry Potter VII

Well, I can't play anyone since I don't have a british accent, but maybe Aberfroth (sp?).

Wow, love everybody's comments. Beth--Cedric, good choice! I forgot about him. And Megan--you are so Ginny, don't try to get out of it!

Sorry - I've been ordered to change my answer to #2 to an arabian stallion. Guess the fireflies were novel, but just not me....
