1. What is your name and what would you prefer to be called by?
My name is Ariana. You may call me what you wish, I have no preference.
2. Are you in Ravenclaw and what makes you think so?
Well, in truth, I'm Slytherclaw. Slytherin enough to do the deed, Ravenclaw enough to get away with it. Since I already have a mule for Slytherin [Bellatrix Saiph Lestrange] and a mule for Slytherclaw [Slytherclaw], I figured I should put this mule to use instead of having it just sit there with a pretty name. I couldn't make myself put Ari into Gryffin or Huffle, and I figured, if she was anything like her brother, she was a probably Ravenclaw anyway.
3. Which of the Harry Potter books is your favorite?
I rather enjoyed number five. It was the last book that I thought was good, and it had a wonderfully darker theme. It was also the first book to come out after I had actually gotten into the series.
4. Do you have a favorite location featured in the series?
My favorite location was actually the Ravenclaw common room. Or, rather, the entrance to it. I thought it was amazing that, instead of memorizing a password, it was a logic puzzle every time. That would increase your thinking capabilities, and it would also be amazingly fun to sit out there and watch the first and second years trying to get in.
5. What form would your boggart and/or patronus take?
My boggart is something I've never actually been very clear on. I've tried to think about it, but there isn't anything I can come up with that would be the one things I'm most afraid of. I always figured it would be rather interested to meet a boggart, if only to find out what form it would take.
If I had to guess, though, I think it would be a swarm of bees. I'm allergic, and I generally freeze up when I get one near me. It's a childhood phobia that I've mostly gotten over, though, so I'm not sure.
My patronus would be a cat of some sort, I think, but I'm not sure exactly what type. It's an animal that is very close to me, and it is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite.
It is also the animal that most strongly represents the man I've been in love with for over a year now, but who I can't have.
That's the logic that determined Tonks' and Snape's, so I figure it might as well determine mine.
6. Is there a magical creature from HP you’re very fond of?
Hmm. I've always rather liked the owls, but they're not exactly a magical creature, just very useful. I guess kneezles would be my magical creature of choice, being such good character judges. I am far too trusting sometimes, and kneezles seem amazing things to keep around for a person like me, since it would keep me away from people who I would otherwise end up making friends with.
7. What is your opinion on the Harry Potter theme park being built?
I like the idea. Love it, in fact. I should mention, however, that it's not a theme park. It's just a section of one. It's in between Jurassic Park and the Lost Continent at Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure. I know this, because I went to Universal last week and almost cried when I realized that's where it was, and I didn't have a chance of ever going, since this year was our last year going to Florida.
