HP Fans:Which is your most favourite chapter in Harry Potter books?

2010-08-18 03:24:12 UTC

1) Favourite chapter?

I am really sure my favourite chapter was the very last one - Nineteen years later. It was the chapter that mattered. It was the ending to the series that I was glad was a happy one. I also liked the chapters regarding the escape of Bill and Fleur's wedding, DADA chapters, OWL's chapters and chapters regarding the Half Blood Prince's book. I enjoyed big time chapters regarding subjects. Hearing about Harry's and the students future careers were interesting. I particularly enjoyed reading about the horcruxes, those chapters were epic. I also liked the chapter regarding career choices. That chapter was fun.

---

2) Among the three Deathly Hallows,if you have choice for having one,Which one would you preferred to have?

The invisibility cloak. I wouldn't want the elder wand. I would love one that chose me instead. I wouldn't want a resurrection stone, because that would just be freaky. The invisibility cloak...that would be great to have.

---

3) Who is your most favourite Weasley among the Weasley?

Such a hard choice! I loved the twins, they were hilarious. Mr Weasly is amazing and Ginny is loveable. But Mrs Weasley is someone we could familiarise as a character who reminds us of our mothers. She was hilarious too!

---

4) Which Character did you hate the most (apart from Voldemort)?

Hard one. But Dolores Umbridge was just...well she was frightening! The actress who played her played her well!

---

5) Who, according to you was the best Wizard after Voldemort and Dumbledore in Harry's days ?

I really don't know. But Minerva Magonagal would always be one of the favourite teachers.

---

6) Which is your favourite Magical Curse/Charm/Spell in HP?

The disarm charm (Expelliarmus) and the Patronus charm (Expecto Patronum) were big favourites.

---

7) Who is the most interesting character in the HP that you always enjoyed to read about?

I always loved to read about Hermione. She's what I like to call an intellectual badass. I also like to read about the relationship Harry has with Sirius and also the friendships that exist within the novel.

---

8) During which character's death did you feel very sad?

Lots. I was shocked when Hedwig died. I struggled to keep on reading the seventh book. I didn't want to read about the deaths of such loveable characters. Believe it or not I actually cried when Dobby died, he was one great elf. It was sad to read about Fred's brave fight, he died a hero. Sirius Black was also a sad departion, and the death of Tonks and Lupin just after Teddy was born was sad also. Sometimes re-reading the books would be depressing because you know this, but I guess not all books have to have an unrealistic happy ending.

---

9) Who is your most favourite professor and favourite Subject in Hogwarts?

Oooh. I always agreed with Harry about Lupin, but Magonagal was a great professor also. Professor Trelawney I always had a soft spot for and Hagrid! Who could forget Hagrid!? If I could choose, potions and defence against the dark arts would've been my favourites. They really define the Harry Potter world.

---

10) Who would have won the duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore if it has happened (without both having the elder wand)?

Probably Dumbledore. Dumbledore was the one wizard Voldermort feared, and Dumbledore's power was full of life, but Voldermort fought for no meaning. Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard.

Fun question.

this is probably the lengthiest question I've ever seen on here. lol

My favourite book is The Deathly Hallows. All the different relationships between all the different characters finally comes together. You finally get to see why Snape treats Harry they way he does, you get to find out why he screams "DON'T CALL ME A COWARD" when he is running away from Harry. You get to see that pretty much everythin that happens to Harry throughout all the books has been part of the master plan by Dumbledore. It is an awesome book and the only book I've ever sat and read the whole way through, no breaks - except for making more tea to help me stay awake.

2. I would have the invisibility cloak, the stone would be useless - the people don't really come back, and the elder wand would mean you never get an easy life, plus - could you have opened Dubmbledore's tomb to get it? Neither could I.

3. Mrs. Weasley. Purely for the last fight when she almost knocks Harry over running to fight Bellatrix and screaming "not my daughter you *****". Class.

4. a. Snape, until the final book.

b. Lockhart, the guy is a proper nutcase.

5. I personally think Minerva Mogonogal, dependable and an awesome spell caster.

6. Expecto Patronum. I'd love to see what my "power animal" would be.

7. Luna Lovegood. hilarious and quirky. I love the way she and Harry connect when no-one believes him about the thestrals.

8. Most people are going to say Dumbledore here, but his death was planned beforehand so I don't think I agree with that one. I think the death that affected me most personally was Dobby the house elf. He would have done ANYTHING for Harry Potter and his friends, his death was so tragic, especially seeing as it was the same killer as whom killed Sirius.

9. Proffesor Lupin (in the books, in the films he was rubbish) and his D.A.D.A class, the bogart turning into snape was class.

10. Dumbledore hands down. Best wizard who ever lived.

1) Same as you. For mostly the same reasons, too. I NEVER believed Snape was on the good side until then. Then I felt really guilty.

So yeah: in Deathly Hallows, chapter 33, The Prince's Tale -- the one with Snape's memories. I love anything to do with the past generation.

2) The Cloak of Invisibility. I'm not saying that because it's the "right" answer, but I'm a shy person and I've often wished I could become invisible. Though the Elder Wand is kind of tempting. Maybe if I were a witch and capable of casting a Disillusionment charm I would choose it. The Stone holds no interest for me; I don't know anyone that died.

3) Fred and George! And yes, that's ONE Weasley. I think they're everyone's favorite, really.

4) Ron. He ANNOYED me SO MUCH. By book four I really couldn't stand him. He's just so stupid -- I think Hermione deserves better. Other than that, if you meant "hate" by "on the bad side," then Peter Pettigrew. Yuck. Disloyal, traitorous scum of a rat... You killed my James! xD

5) Uuuuh... Mad-Eye Moody. Kind of freaky, but good instincts.

6) I really liked Crabbe's Fiendfyre. I don't know why, I found it really cool. Other than that, I have something for the Cruciatus curse. I find it interesting that at first, Harry couldn't cast it properly (and for another reason than being sucky at cursing).

7) Fred and George! What, it's true! Whether they were promising to bring back toilet seat, escaping Hogwarts or inventing WWW products, I always wanted to know what they were up to.

8) Fred. What? I have a thing for the twins, in case you hadn't noticed. Fred's death made me cry. Then again, I also HATED that Sirius had to die.

9) Professor: Remus Lupin, Subject: Defense Against the Dark Arts (what's not to like?) and Transfiguration (I wanna be a Metamorphmagus too!)

10) No disrespect meant, but I would really say Voldemort. Especially with all the Death Eaters on his side, but that's not it. Voldemort is a DARK WIZARD. If he could put aside his irrational fear of Dumbledore, he'd kill him in a snap.

1. My favourite Chapter would have to be the one where Voldemort returns in the 4th book - not sure about the number though - but I can remember thinking, o boy, this is gonna get good from here on in.

2. The Elder wand, with a wand like that you wouldn't need a cloak to become invisible.

3. Favourite Weasley - I would have to pick the twins, I know thats 2, but you can't pick one without the other.

4. I hate Wormtail, his cowardice and back stabbing nature irritated me. I also disliked the Malfoys, I have no particular reason other than the whole family got on my nerve. Oh yes and Umbridge was a rather hateful little character, she was just one of those people that you can go out and meet at work and their sole purpose in life seems to be making your life miserable. Voldemort en Bellatrix were actually 2 of my favourite characters, there is just something in a truly evil character that I find appealing.

5. Professor McGonagal or Kingsley Shacklebolt (I made my pick from the wizards that actually lives at the end, if I may include the deceased, I would have to say probably Grindlewald)

6.Cruciatus curse, can think of a few people I'd like to try that one on.

7. Luna lovegood - she was a complete wierdo and I feel at times I could really relate to her. I always loved the fact that Hermione and co, would think she's ridiculous for believing in wierd creatures, meantime I just feel like crying out "Hello, you're a freaking wizard and can do magic and after all the crazy impossible things you've seen, you find it so easy to doubt the existence of Nargles". Gotta love Rowling for coming up with that one.

8.Dumbledore, he walked willingly into death, just like Harry thought he was doing and when the time came faced up to it brilliantly.

9. McGonagal would favourite professor and I'd be surprised if anybody says that Defense against the dark arts was not their favourite subject.

10. If neither had the Elder wand I think Voldemort would have creamed Dumbledore, dumbledore was unable to beat Voldemort with the Elder wand in the 5th book. It's also usually the way things go, the student surpasses the master only to be his ultimate end.

Hmm, now that is difficult! My choices are actually quite similar to yours. I suppose, because I loved Snape, that my favourite would also be "The Prince's Tale" in Deathly Hallows. The Only One He Ever Feared was also very cool The 3 chapters in HP4 where Voldemort returns ["Flesh, Blood & Bone", "The Death Eaters" and "Priori Incantatem"] were also some of my top favourites.

2. Resurrection Stone, then I can see those I love that have died again, if only for a few seconds

3. Bill Weasley, just in one word "cool"! lol

4. Umbridge, I wanted to strangle her [and Molly Weasley a close 2nd place, for some reason she irritated the crap out of me]

5. Severus Snape

6. There's so many! Probably being an animagus [that's a spell isn't it?] & I must say "accio" would come in very handy.

7. Voldemort, his story interested me a lot and there's still gaps IMO

8. Dumbledore, the whole funeral scene was so poignant

9. to have as a Professor, definitely McGonnagal [although Snape was a favourite character] and class would be Transfiguration

10. Difficult to say. I think that Dumbledore was more accomplished but Voldemort was more ruthless

1. It sounds cliched, but the final chapter, where the readers get to see Harry grown up. There's something truly special about the way the character grew up to become ordinary, rather than a "hero".

2. The elder wand.

3. Fred and George. But I do love the other Weasleys. (With the possible exception of Percy.)

4. Intially, Draco Malfoy. Then as the series continues, the reader sees that Draco is the product of evil parents and he eventually gains the courage to defy them. So I cannot hate Draco after that. Consequently, I would choose Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy as the most evil characters.

5. This is a difficult question to answer. There are many characters who were fine, corageous wizards that I would love to name - Sirius Black and Professor McGonagall for example. However, the honour belongs to Snape, for having the strength to carry out Dumbledore's wishes and allowing the other characters to believe that he was a murderer. This was an incredible act of bravery that redeems the character.

6. Can I choose the polyjuice potion?

7. Aside from Harry? My pick is Neville. Until the fifth book, he appeared to be little more than comic relief. Then we discovered that there was far, far more to the character. He also showed a lot of bravery in the final novel. Of all the Gryffidor's I think Neville was the bravest. He was also loyal to his friends, but would stand up for what he felt was right.

8. There were many sad deaths - Dumbledore, Fred Weasley, Remis Lupin, Tonks. However, the saddest of them all in my opinion was at the beginning of the series rather than at the end - Harry's parents.

9. Professor McGonagall - transfigurations.

10. Dumbledore. Just because I get to choose.

My rankings: BOOKS: 1- Deathly Hallows- Because it was completely different from the other books, the characters are way more mature and we learn so much about some of the characters such as Dumbledore and Snape. The book is a whole quest, turning into a war until the final battle and the confrontation. And there is a lot of action, when I read it it's impossible for me to stop! And the end of the book is just epic, there are no words to describe it, it's a masterpiece :D Oh and also because of the chapter "The Prince's Tale" which is the best chapter of the series in my opinion. 2- Half Blood Prince- Mostly because of the memories and the fact that we learn a lot about Voldemort's past, which I really loved. It follows closely Deathly Hallows who are both masterpieces in my opinion. Oh and the ending was tragic and a bit unexpected at first. 3- Prisoner of Azkaban- I loved how the book changed from the first two: new subject: divination, Hagrid as a Care of Magical creature teacher, finally a nice DADA teacher: Lupin, the Marauder's map, Hogsmeade, the time turner, the dementors... And introducing Harry's godfather for the first time, his first real family member. 4- Goblet of Fire- I particularly enjoyed reading about the World Cup, the Triwizard Tournament, and also the classes and life in Hogwarts in general which are not present in the movie. And also the end of the book in the graveyard which was amazing and scary at the same time. 5- Philosopher's Stone Because it's the first book and it sets the story and all the main places and characters and you enter the Magic World for the first time and explore it with Harry. It's a feeling that I will never forget :D. 6- Chamber of Secrets- (last but one ?? But I love this book :O Anyway I love it for so many things as well :) ) 7- Order of the Phoenix- Honestly I put Order of the Phoenix last but I don't even know why. This book is amazing. They all are. Except that this one is a 9.9/10 while the others are 10/10. The ending was so tragic though :( It was the beginning of an atmosphere of war. MOVIES: 1- Philosopher's Stone- Because it's the first movie and it sets the story and all the main places and characters and you enter the Magic World for the first time and explore it with Harry. I will never forget this feeling I had back in 2001 :D 2- Chamber of Secrets- Because Chris Columbus should have directed ALL the Harry Potter movies. There were almost every part in the book in this movie, it was one of the most faithful to a book. 3- Deathly Hallows Part 2- Because it was EPIC. And also the end of TEN magical years. Only thing is the director didn't focus enough on some character's death and didn't even include Teddy Lupin. 4- Prisoner of Azkaban- I loved the contrast between the first 2 movies and POA, didn't like it at first but then I started to really like it and now I really love it :D And the director didn't cut so many parts of the book, it stayed quite faithful. I love the atmosphere that he managed to create. 5- Deathly Hallows Part 1- I never get bored watching that movies and I enjoyed every part, it was also faithful to the 1st part of the book (except probably the wedding). There isn't much action but it's still entertaining and isn't boring at all. Oh and Ron was a jerk in this one. 6- Goblet of Fire- It was ok, but I prefered the book without any doubts. They didn't focus enough on the school year in my opinion but only on the Triwizard Tournament. 7-Order of the Phoenix- I didn't really like it, the director didn't include half of the book. 8- Half-Blood Prince- it's such a shame because HBP is one of my favorite book but David Yates screwed everything up in the movie, and focused mostly on "love stories" and teenage years to make the movie lighter while the book was rather dark. He forgot more than half of the memories... That was awful. But well, I don't hate it but I'm mad at the director for messing it up. Although this movie has a funny side, it made me laugh a few times, but the book is just way darker. If I hadn't read the book I'm sure I would have enjoyed it way more. And I do agree that Harry Potter was the model of an entire generation "the Potter generation", and it has represented my whole childhood :)

1.Lily Or Snape

2.I liked the Cloak the most

3.Favourite Weasley would be Fred or George

4.I hated Umbridge more than anyone else

5.Harry? I dunno...

6.I really don't know, Jelly legs jinx??

7.Ginny Weasley

8.I cried at Sirius', Dobby's, Dumbledore's and when Harry went into the Forest

9.Dumbledore or Snape, Fave subject Transfiguration

10.Dumbledore-He was always the best :D

The Prince's Tale was an Amazing chapter. I wish Lily had forgiven Snape, is she had none of this would have happened, Snape wouldn't have told Voldemort about the Prophecy and Voldemort wouldn't have hunted Harry down.

LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER :DDD...x

2010-08-18 07:01:31 UTC

haha, what a question!

1) I'm going to say the one in the forest before Harry dies. I was crying the whole time--not because I was disappointed he was dying (I wish she had kept him dead, if she was going to do it) but because it was sad and scary and he was brave and his parents were proud of him...after 7 books, it was hard not to identify with Harry and feel sad for him.

The Prince's Tale was pretty satisfying, too, because I believed in Snape the whole time, and I knew there must be a way that he was still good, even though he killed Dumbledore, but I couldn't think of how. I think the whole love story with Lily and how that colors everything he does the rest of his life is actually kind of silly, though.

2) I'm actually not that interested in any of them.

3) George is my favorite. I don't know why, but I always preferred him to Fred.

4) I probably hate Slughorn most. Or Crabbe and Goyle. I think they're dumb and annoying. Mad-Eye is also annoying.

5) idk

6) Accio, bc I'm lazy and don't like to get up to get things. :)

7) Snape and the others in that generation--their backstories. Especially the Blacks.

8) Harry. And Sirius. Fred, too, I guess.

9) Favorite prof is Lupin; favorite subject would be Charms because that's where you learn all the actually useful stuff. When does anyone ever use Transfiguration for a practical purpose?

10) Dumbledore.

1) The very last one, 19 years later. When I was reading it, it was kinda like the end of something, because I've been reading them since I was like, 6...

2) The invisibility cloak. duh. It's not like I could use the wand with magic or anything. The cloak may not be able to be seen by muggles, but I'm sure it could be used.

3) Probably..... Fred. I knew that one of the twins was going to die in the last one, because JK Rowling said that, and I had always hoped it would be George... Sob.

4)Ah, no, I loved Voldemort! Probably who I hated the most was... that Romilda Vane girl... Desperate!

5) Harry Potter obviously. He did defeat, 'He Who Must Not Be Named' after all....

6) I never really had one. I was mostly sad because I couldn't use any at all.

7) Severus Snape. Well, not really at the start, but then I grew to love him!

8) Hedwig's. And Fred's. And Colin Creevey.

9) Potions. And Snape. To me, it always sounded as though it was like a cooking class or something, to this day I still don't know why Harry and Ron were always complaining so much!

10) Probably Voldemort. He is great. In all ways, like, evil great, and all mighty great, and awesome great too!

well i love all the harry potter books so i cant really choose but i really do like going through the fight at hogwarts in HP7 and the sorting hat HP1

2) i would choose the cloak, since i could hide and is also the safest one coz if you were to have the stone you'd want to be with the dead so might cause you to commit suicide just like in the tale of the three brothers) and for the wand ppl would probably want to kill me for it

3) has to be the twins fred and george there hilarious

4) i hate ron and harry (for some weird reason)

5) Bellatrix- she love torture

6) fav spell oblivate (memory charm) and curse crucio =P

7) kreacher- he was always strange to me

8)Snape and Dobby (cant decide between them)

9) fav subjects defence against the dark arts, Transfiguration and potions

10) Dumbledore - he knows voldemort well

?

2010-08-18 02:41:55 UTC

1. I also choose The Prince's Tale. It explained SO much, I love those chapters where everything clicks into place, and I feel so sorry for Snape. When he got killed, I was so happy, then I read that chapter and started crying. He's one of my favourite characters now =D

2. Well, if the Stone had actually worked, and hadn't just brought back shadows, I would have chosen that one, but seeing as it didn't work that great, I choose the cloak. It'd be pretty useful for things...like eavesdropping =P

3. Ginny. I love Ginny, she's so cute when she's little, and she's a really strong character later on, she isn't pathetic, or needy, or anything like that.

4. Bellatrix. I loved her and hated her at the same time. She's an amazingly written character, every time her name was mentioned I got scared, but I hate her for torturing Neville's parents, I hate her for killing Sirius. I loved Sirius D=

5. Ooh hard one. I actually don't know. I'm going to choose too.

Well, I'm going to choose them based on their person, and their skill, and in general. I actually think Sirius and Snape.

Sirius- Not just because I love him, but because he was a good person. He risked everything, but never for himself, and he's a lot like me. I get angry pretty quick when people doubt me. I think he was incredibly strong, I sympathised and empathised a lot with him, and I think he was a great wizard.

Snape- he never dropped his act, he never let Dumbledore down, and everything he ever did was to help Harry, and Dumbledore. He risked his life for them, and he was so brave, to die the way he did, and to lie to Voldemort for so many years. And of course, he was an amazing fighter.

6. I don't know if there's an incantation for it, but I actually love the charm Harry, Ron and Hermione used to make their teacups grow legs. I think that's the cutest idea ever, having teacups jogging around in circles haha.

7. I actually just really like the bits with just Harry, Ron and Hermione, being friends. I don't know about most interesting, but they're the bits I always enjoyed reading.

8. Sirius, definitely. I was soooo upset. You see, I read Half Blood Prince before Order of the Phoenix (don't know why, don't ask) and I found out he was dead, I was soooo upset, and I think I actually went into shock.

Also, Tonks and Lupin. How could they die???!?!?! They had a kid! I love Teddy, poor baby.

Also, when fred died.

And most of all DUMBLEDORE. I cried sooo bad! But I was crying during all these deaths.

9. I love Professor Flitwick haha. He's cute. And I think Charms is my favourite subject to read about I think it's the most interesting subject to read about a class of.

10. Dumbledore. Good at heart alway prevails. Dumbledore beats Voldemort anyday, because Dumbledore had something worthwile to live for - love - while Voldemort doesn't live, he exists, for power.

2010-08-18 05:59:47 UTC

1- I don't really have a favorite chapter, but I really enjoyed Godric's Hollow

2-I would go with the invisibility cloak

3-Fred and George, I love their creations, enthusiasm...

4-Umbridge.

5-Harry obviously

6-Oculous Reparo, I wish it were real, my glasses get broken

7-I think Dumbledore, he's full of mysteries and his character is amazing.

8- I found many deaths sad, maybe all! but the most tragic one was Fred dying!

9-Defense Against the Dark Arts-Mad Eye Moody

10-Dumbledore obviously, PROOF: In OOTP, Voldemort just flees after having a small duel with Dumbedore!

I really enjoyed ur question and it was a pleasure answering it! :D

2010-08-18 02:12:12 UTC

The 8th one in the 4th book. Boy, was that a zinger! I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
