A Master at The Force, but hasn't read HP yet? He's missing from Hbp - What Did You Think? and doesn't wish to be subject to many spoilers.


The next person will not follow the link above as they, too, don't wish to read spoilers.

Exaxctly, although a friend of mine read it and has spoiled a few things for me.

The next person has great friends that would do the same thing.

My friends know not to give things away. Like Yoda and some films in the past....


The next person is happy.

At the moment, yes!

The next person enjoys baking.

That depends on if its food thats baking or me baking in the sun, because I do like to bake brownies and chocolate-chip cookies.

The next person likes a good grill-out.

Only if it's my husband or my father doing the grilling!


The next person enjoys baked potatoes.

Yes I do.

The next person has not finished reading HBP.

(I finally just finished about an hour ago although I correctly guessed some occurences & confirmed them by skimming ahead before taking the crew to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" this afternoon where we viewed a GOF trailer! )

I will hang my head in shame, as I have yet to begin reading it. I got it in my head that I needed to revisit the first 5 books, and as of right now am over half way through the first one. Lots of detail revisited, but it will take me a while until I can share with the rest of you!



The next person thought ahead and has already read the first five books so that they could jump right into the sixth book!

Well, I was *plannning* on reading them, but my brother "borrowed" my books, (meaning that he stole them off my bookshelf while I was in America last year) and only returned them to me (in less than perfect condition, I might add - *how* did he get the chamber of secrets *wet*!?) in enough time for me to read ootp again.

The next person hates it when someone else treats their books with less reverence then oneself would use.

I do. Just because it is a book, so many people feel that it is okay to bang them up or break an unbroken spine. I find that really rude.

The next person doesn't share my views.

Wrong, I do share your views.



Next person was inspired to write a fanfic after reading HBP

Nope, not really.

The next person has succeeded in reading HBP in one sitting

Yep! Though, I did take about an hour's break to go and get dinner and stuff for a party for the next night.

The next person still skips/jumps rope.

No, as I never could in the first place.

The next person has a Harry Potter bookmark.

It's a bookmark of Hedwig.


The next to respond is feeling thirsty right now.

actually, yes

The next person refused a date and/or appointment or something to read HBP

nope, happily read straight through from midnight

Bonus marks to QH though, who notes I haven't yet posted a review/anything in the HBP thread yet (although for the wrong reason ) - I'm trying to sum up thoughts - always a challenge with me (which QH will also testify to!)

The next person has read HBP...twice...!...

No, have only just begun the re-read.

The next person has candy nearby.

Actually, no, for once!


The next person has an opal.

I have a peice of glass shaped like a dog with lots of chips of opal in it, that my friend got me when she went to Uluru, does that count?

The next person has been to an opal mine.

um...can coal be crushed into opals or is it just diamonds...? (nope!)


the next person can make an educated guess about which country I was in when I visited the coal mine mentioned above...

Australia, Germany, India, China, U.S.A?

The next person will be Yoda, correcting my answer

Nope, just me!



The next person really IS Yoda and will let Jerry know whether he is correct or not.

Alas, no. 'Tis Jerry again.

The next person will find it interesting that 'Severus Snape' is an anagram of 'Suave Serpens' (Charming Snake).

Yes I do.

The next person has to move soon.

Well, if you count moving out of home in january/feb sometime to go to uni, yes.

The next person enjoys some sort of craft.

If sandwich making counts, then yes. (Arthur Dent anyone?)

The next person likes a good sandwich that is toasty warm and gooey.

My ideal sandwich would be well filled but not spilling out all over the place, cool, healthy and a bit on the moist side, like mayo or juicy cucumbers. And no chicken. Too dry.


The next person knows what their ideal breakfast would be.

Not much for breakfast...but if I have to eat it, it would be maple and brown sugar oatmeal with a banana and a mug full of ice cold milk. That, or Fruit Loops or Lucky Charms.


The next to respond likes breakfast food for dinner.

... well, it's ten to six pm and I just had a bowl of nutri-grain (a cereal) but it's more of an after-school snack, tea's in the oven, still.

The next person prefers the dark meaat of a chicken instead of the drier, white meat.

I'm a white meat person meself.

and now I will finally tell Jerry which country I was in: Wales The nearest area of coalpits to me (it just about beats the north of England's coal fields in closeness)

The next person knows more about the geography of coalpits in the UK...(or has a more interesting geographical fact about the UK...)

Up north, around Scotland, there's a place called Kintyre. The Mull of Kintyre looks quite rude when looking at it in the 'right' way. Amazingly, the BBC used this as a standard for the straightest that rude shape is allowed to be before it is considered too rude for TV, even after the watershed. So, the BBC called it the "Mull of Kintyre Rule".


The next person will say if this geographical fact is interesting.

Yes, and now I've got that song by Paul McCartney in my head!

The next person owns a piece of jewlry with diamond(s) in it.

Nope. The only jewellery I have is an old ring I don't wear anymore. It's silver, and it's engraved with a lie. But that's a different story.


The next person thinks diamonds are not really a girl's best friend.

No, but they sure are nice to have.

The next person has changed his/her hair color at least once.

No. And I'm not likely to. It changes colour by itself.


The next person paints their toenails, then wears shoes!

I don't keep my toenails long enough for paint, although I should to cover the bruised big toe nail I have!



The next person currently/used to bite their finger nails.

Used to, yes.

The next person will be going on a vacation starting tomorrow.

Part II of my summer vacation. Yay!

The next person likes maps.

"Not I, said the dog"

The next person will shaer with us their favorite book as a child.

ummm... Ramona Quimby, Age 8. A year later, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic. A year later, Lord of the Rings. A year later, Roots.

I admit to being strange. All of this was before I turned 12.

The next person hates surprises.

I don't like too many surprises, but I do like some pleasant ones...


The next person loves giving gifts whatever the price tag.

I don't have too much money of my own, so when I give gifts I have to be careful I won't go bankrupt

The next person has yet to read HBP

No, I have.

The next person is not a little buzzed right now.

Not really.

The next person knows what his/her birthstone is

Nope, not a clue.

The next person will please disregard my previous post in this thread.

Since I didn't understand it the first time around, sure.

The next person adores getting letters from people.

Yep! And I love sending them too!

The next person has something else that they should be doing right now.

Yes. Unpacking. Well, at least getting out the essentials for tomorrow. I don't wanna go to work tomorrow!

The next person can't snap his or her fingers.

I can.


The next to respond has a fan on in his/her home.
