I read them each at least twice... I still remember the banchory bangers and that for the annual broom race, the crowd gathers at the end to "congratulate the survivors" hehehe. I LOVE fantastic beasts... I want a demiguise and a phoenix. And I think the half blood prince is either seamus hagrid or dean... Can't make a decision quite yet...

I've written my own version of quidditch that is actually play-able. So in the process, I've just about memorized QTTA. I was REALLY bored one summer.

I want a Jobberknoll (? - Is that the bird that makes no sound until its death?) a Fwooper, and a Puffskein.
I've read them all about four times each...FBaWtFT is mine and QTtA is my brothers. Using the figures used by Comic Releif and the price on the back of the book, I've been trying to convert dollars into Galleons. The closest I've gotten to it is:
If $5.99 equals 14 sickles 3 knuts, then $1 equals 2 sickles and 10 knuts. However, when equalized, it will only equal 14 sickles and 2 knuts. I've haven't found the extra knut and can't understand where it would come from.
There is my offtopicness for today.

The augurey is the bird that sings before death, but actually it sings before the coming of rain. I want a phoenix... Badly.........

I voted sweetwater all stars because I have some national loyalty and wanted to pick one of the few american teams.

I like the Cannons because if I recall correctly, their color is orange. I like orange.

I don't know...
Anyway, GRammaret, you must post how to play Quidditch in the Muggle world. I have a way...
Okay, you're all on bikes and you have a normal quaffle. The bludgers are balls that members of the audience throw at Chasers. The Snitch is on the end of fishing wire that the referee has to guide around. Quite easy, once you think about it.
And I vote for Tutshill Tornadoes only because of Roderick Plumpton.

Right, the guy who "purposefully" swept the Snitch into his sleeve.

Roderick Plumpton and Josef Wronski are AWESOME! They're my fave quidditch players. We should make a fave quidditch player thread...

I would tell you about my version of quidditch. But I'm REALLY parinoid(spelling) and I would really like to take it farther, you know like a league or something. Sorry. I'm freaky with copyright and junk like that. Like the girl who invented Swifer went and blabbed to someone and now she hasn't made a penny off it. So Sorry.  I will tell you that it's kinda like Speedball. |
