Harry Potter Survey

Hey everyone!

This summer I am taking a class called Harry Potter and American culture. For my final project I am doing a survey about what Harry Potter means to people. If any of you have time, I would really appreciate some more responses. You don’t have to be an American or a huge fan of Harry Potter to fill it out. I need responses for all sorts of people and all level of fans.

The link for the form is http://bit.ly/15HZN6d.

Thank you so much!

I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck awaythe boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.

….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

Hermione Granger also: 

  • punched Draco Malfoy in the nose for being an idiot 
  • purposefully performed a confundus charm on whatshsface WHILE HE WAS FLYING just so Ron would win (omfg that is so fucking dangerous) 
  • literally pulled a fucking Bourne Identity on her parents and managed to set them up in fucking Australia (jesus christ she literally made it so that she NEVER EXISTED wtf that’s so fucking 007)
  • Convinced the Ministry of Magic to give her an incredibly dangerous and volatile device that allowed her to ALTER TIMELINES COMPLETELY (just because she was so smart, literally, that is the reason, her “potential”) 
  • Has enough basic survival skills and badass magic to literally disappear to the middle of nowhere and flourish AND figure out Voldemort’s plot with Harry 
  • Hermione also figures out not only what Voldemort’s plan is, but generally how to beat it, WAY BEFORE VOLDEMORT EVER DOES. Why? because she is just that much smarter and better at magic than everybody else

in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad. 

Can we rehave this series with hermione as the protagonist. 

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Used the Power of Research and Deductive Reasoning to Make Sure Harry Didn’t Die”

Hermione Granger and “That time I figured shit out and literally ended up petrified for the cause and it took my friends weeks to figure out that I had the research on me”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Was a Time Lord”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I Realized I was Hot and Smart and Saved Harry’s Ass with Research. Again. All the Time. Really, He Would Have Died Without Me.” 

Hermione Granger and “That time Harry was too emo to actually do shit so I did shit in his name because I am the power behind the throne clearly also PS fought evil deatheaters and won”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I told Harry about the Dangers of Copying off Somebody’s else’s work that wasn’t mine and OH LOOK I WAS RIGHT”

Hermione Granger and “That Time I let Harry Decide Where to Go and What To do and we ended up wandering the forests of dean for like 5 months before saving his ass at Hogwarts” 

If Hermione had been The Chosen One Voldemort would have been defeated while she was still in her crib.

Harry Potter Documentary: I need your help!

This summer I am taking a class called Harry Potter and American Culture. For our final project we have to do something interesting and creative. I was thinking about doing a documentary on what Harry Potter means to our culture, but in order to do that I need to see if I can get any responses. 

It doesn’t matter if you are an insane fangirl, just a casual fan, or have never even read the books, I just want input. All I need is for you to any or all of the questions bellow (bold are the ones I really need, they rest are optional). You can film yourself (it doesn’t really matter what quality, and I just need the raw footage), which would be preferable, record your voice and send me a picture of yourself or, if you can’t do that but still want to help, you can just send me your answers as a document and a picture of yourself. 

Let me know if you have any questions, the email for this project is hpdocumentary@gmail.com. I would love as many responses as I can get so please spread the word. Reblog this, tweet about it, put it on Facebook, whatever, I just really need the help.

Thanks in advance!

Tori
