I've been meaning to post these Haryr Potter questions for months. But the summer vacation I had just seemed to be my vacation from Hatrack as well. If this has been posted I apoligize. I refrain from answering these questions at this time but I will later. [Big Grin]

Question #1 If you looked into the mirror of Erised what would you see? (Remember it shows you your heart's deepest desires.) I wish I could say I would see only myself.

Question #2 If you saw a Boggart what would you see?

Question #1: I've wondered about this many times. I honestly don't know what it is that I want more than anything.

Question #2: Probably me, on fire from head to toe.

Actually, come to think of it, for #1, most people's deepest desires are things that would make them happy, right? Therefore, most people's deepest desire is happiness. I think I would see myself staring back with a big, sincere smile on my face, equaling happiness. That should cover all possibilities.

#3 - A basketball sized spalding tennis ball.

1. I would see myself holding a novel with my name on the cover, being slapped on the back by all my favorite authors.

2. After seeing people I care about coming to harm--A set of stairs. Ever since I broke my leg I have an ungodly fear of falling down the stairs.

3. A newfoundland, which is a giant dog slightly similar to a St. Bernard.

No. I associate patronus with paternal, hence Harry's father's animagus.

My father died of leukemia, but suffered a major cerebral hemhorage that destroyed the vision in the left half of each eye. It also caused his to lose his sense of beauty, in some respects.

To relieve the pressure, they shaved his head, cut out a large section of his skull, and stitched a large circular patch of skin back to the rest of his head.

A couple of weeks later, his hair had grown out slightly, and he was allowed to go out of the hospital. He furtively went into a sporting goods shop and came out with a package.

When he got home he took my brother into his room (my brother has always been a very good artist, who has a flair with fonts), and emerged with the word "Spalding" written along the seam in his head.

He let us feel his brain through his skin.

His sense of humor and his sense of scientific inquiry were his greatest weapon against death.

1. I want to fly more than anything. Therefore, I see myself flying with my guardian angel, above my own little world, the one I created when I was like 10 and still lives on today.
2. I fear all sorts of arachnids, but the one thing I fear the most is not going to heaven. That would be the greatest disappointment ever. So the flames of hell would be my boggart.

1) Me, a successful artist, having great dinner and a few beverages with my beautiful, intelligent wife (the one I haven't met yet), enjoying a great conversation with friends and family while watching the sun set into the ocean.

2) Not sure, I don't like spiders, but it would most likely be something more like Mrs. Weasley

3) If your Patronus is based off your father, then mine would probably be a great big football player, he's a coach. If it is something you love then it would be my dog.

1. Me, immortal
2. Me with Alzheimers
3. A great silver dragon, wise and fierce.

However, if your patronus is based of your father, well, I'd probably just get a weak puff of smoke and hear giggling. [Dont Know]

1: I'd see myself in the future, with a happy family, and enough money to provide for them.

2: I think the most frightening thing that could happen to me is if something were to happen to one of my brothers. So I suppose it could turn into the corpse of either of them.

3: My Patronus would probably be an ape. I love apes. I'm also just as lazy. Those guys lay around all day!

Erised: I'd see me holding a stack of my own published works surrounded by adoring friends.

Boggart: A professor waving a paper deadline in my face. (perfect embodiment of perfectionism and procrastination.)

Patronus: Gorilla. Its a favorite animal I've loved since childhood. I could totally see sending one after a dementor.
