I can't decide if I like 1-4 or 5-7 better. What do you think, darcie?

And all the damage done to Hogwarts was really sad! :( I was practically heartbroken when the Quidditch pitch was set on fire.

I'm totally not the person to ask... I've played both but very little. I definitely think they made improvements to playability in the second one. And Pigwidgeon is pretty darned cute. But I think it's weird that it doesn't have as many of the bonus levels as the first.

Yeah, it just has one, and I wish it had more opportunities to gain coinage, because Voldemort in 5-7 costs 25 million studs and I'm nowhere near that point. :x Drives me crazy, because I'm the sort of person who absolutely must have 100% completion when I play video games, because I know I'm missing out on awesome bonus material when I don't.

I haven't played either but if I had to choose one to buy it would be years 5-7, because I love those 3 books the most.

Expelliarmus, because I'm a non-violent one like Harry. I'd just rather disarm them than fight. But! I want to be able to do Lumos whenever I need a little light. \:D/

What is Omnes Morui?

Ugh, I should have added an "Other" option. Well, if you have an other, just post it below with everybody else's favorite spells :D

Mine is Sectumsempra. Effective, deadly, and very awesome magic. Snape is a very skilled wizard.

(When I say awesome I mean like "AWE-some" Like it deserves awe. I obviously wouldn't use it in real life ;)

It's also effective for slicing pineapples \:D/

Sectum Sempra is one of the most fun to say.

Mine is Stupefy, mostly because it comes in handy. Another favorite of mine is Expecto Patronum, or the Patronus Charm, because I think it would be comforting to have something right there to help you, even if it doesn't last that long.

The Patronus Charm is really interesting and tells us a lot about a character. I think it would almost be like being sorted, summoning one's patronus for the first time.

I'm guessing in Pottermore there will be an animagus and patronus test in books 3 and 5 :yes:

Plus, they're so pretty. :D

I'd probably want a tiger as my Patronus, or some other wild cat (leopard, lion, jaguar, et cetera). Other thoughts?

I thought it was interesting but there was too much happening at once.
