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.
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?

And here I thought it was a Hewlett Packard question...
Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :
sorry star... Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
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.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
1. Me, but successful.
2. Me, but a failure.
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
1. I don't know. I'll have to think.
2. I'm with Ron - a giant spider.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
1. Don't know
2. The dark.
Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :
1. Probably me in the land of Narnia!
2. I'm with Belle. A giant spider. Edit to say : Actually, a million little spiders would be worse.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
1. Me, being artistically creative in some way.
2. ::shrug::
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
Question #1 More free time.
Question #2 People making fun of me.
Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
#1 - Me with a copy of my latest science fiction book with a #1 New York Times Bestseller sign on the front.
#2 - Oh so many things come to mind...Snakes...me with a copy of my latest book with a second-best-seller sign on the front Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
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.

Question #3.) What do you think your Patronus would look like?
Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
I forgot, what are Patronuses supposed to represent?
Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :
Ooh ooh! Awesome question Alt! Now I will just have to think about that one...
Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :
#1 - I don't know how you'd see this in the mirror, but humanity in balance with nature.
#2 - Same as Mrs. Weasely's.
#3 - A basketball sized spalding tennis ball.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
3. A dog. A nice, big, furry dog who will always protect me.
Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :
#1- Only happiness in my home. (which I want to be in an actual house!)
#2- Same as Mrs. Weasly's by far!
#3- hmmmm a unicorn! With wings! Just to look cooler.
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
My patronus would probably be something like a pegasus, or BT'X, or one of those Sailor Moon attacks...

Ha! That's just a ripoff of the pegasus that came out in Sailor Moon, Helios. Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
#1, #2, and #3 - A baboon with bat wings and tentacles.

No... it's a rip off from She-ra! Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :

That's an interesting Patronus. Is it because you like to play tennis?
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
#1. I would see myself living in a Utopian community.
#2. I would see myself seriously hurting a child or someone I love.
#3. I think my screen name says it all.
Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
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.
Posted by Dread Pirate_Smith (Member # 4780) on :
3. A giant chicken.

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 Me as the Chairman of the Internation Communist Party under the World Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
#2 This could be many things. None I can think of.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Mirror of Erised: Me as a respected, successful professor.
Boggart: An authority figure that I respect belittling me.
Patronus: A dog. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Hey Glen....that is a great story, and a great idea for a Patronus. Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
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.
Posted by Treason (Member # 7587) on :
Patronus: Aslan (I must have Narnia on the brain tonight) Big beautiful talking lion to protect me!

Posted by SC Carver (Member # 8173) on :
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.
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
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. Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
1 - Me as a librarian
2 - My husband dead or badly wounded
3 - A she-wolf

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
By the way, unicornwhisperer, would you mind if I used your questions as a LJ meme?
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
1: I'd see my children grown and very happy.
2: My boggart would be a swarm of various large stinging, flying insects.
3: A wren, of course.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
oh patronus, Dragon. My animagus, a dragon.
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
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!
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
My animangus? I'd turn into a black panther with butterfly wings proportionate to my panther body.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
3. A lion, but a female lion.
Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
1. My family 2. Something along the lines of Mrs. Weasley's. 3. A unicorn.
Posted by Kettricken (Member # 8436) on :
1. I don't know, I've thought about it, but am not sure. 2. A fierce dog. Fluffy would also do it. 3. A horse
Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
1. Me, married to a certain someone... 2. Me in hell. 3. I dunno... a cat? Maybe a chimpanzee.

Thanks guys
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
1). This is a family forum.
2). Ditto to Mrs. Weasley
3). A seagull. I know they're kind of gross, but that's what it would be. Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :

Woa! Sorry it took me so long to respond I didn't even know there were more posts on this thread..
I will answer your question with a question... what is a LJ meme?
Posted by Dr Strangelove (Member # 8331) on :
#1: Me imparting Truth in a flawless way to everyone #2: It wouldn't make sense to anyone ever so I won't even bother to write it out, but just for the record I did think of one #3: A hawk. Its the creature I respect/love/feel connected to the most.
Posted by Shanna (Member # 7900) on :
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.
Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
A LJ meme : In this case, someone would post these questions and their answers in his/her livejournal and ask his/her friends to answer them too.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
That's a fantastic story, Glenn. Thanks for sharing.
And as for me...
1. Me, looking back at the end of my life and being happy and proud of myself.
2. Ditto Mrs Weasley for me too - my little sister, my brother, Tony - ack! Doesn't bear thinking about. Other than that - probably something to do with heights and falling.
3. A devon rex. Slightly odd looking, all purrs and cuddles one minute and hell-cat with claws the next.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
I asked five of my friends about which animal they percieved me as I got: Giraffe, Chipmunk, Antelope, and two who said "some kind of bird."
Myself, I have no idea.
Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
Mirror of Erised- me holding my living, healthy baby boy.
Boggart- definatley ditto to Mrs. Weasley.
Patronus- I've never thought about it., The only animal I've ever felt affinity for are spiders. So maybe a giant spider.
Posted by KPhysicsGeek (Member # 8655) on :
#1: Me teaching a class of well behaved high school students totally enraptured on my every word and asking good questions.
#2: I'm with Mrs. Weasely: a vision of my wife dead
#3: Don't know... always been partial to leopards. If it could be a person, my Grandfather who was the stongest, gentlest person I knew. (And he loved to ski, I can picture him on skis chasing away Dementors)
