Hi there. You've made your way here. I hope it's because you enjoy my work. If you don't really want to know anything about me, then click the "hide bio" button. Its just up there. In the right hand corner. If you do then read on!
Some things about me.
I live in Wales. Not England. Wales. Google it.
I cry in sad movies, happy movies, emotional books and whenever I read the last chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I like classical music and any decent music that today has to offer. I play the cello, piano and saxophone. (That's me playing in the picture... bad technique I know) and I like to play the piano and sing really loudly when there's nobody at home, and sometimes when there are people home.
I'm addicted to youtube and my favourites are asdf movies, AVPM, potterpuppetpals and various youtube bloggers. And the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
I'm a bit crazy, very random, can be very hyperactive and enjoy laughing so much it hurts. My little OCD quirks include having to have my pens in a certain rainbow order and always having to sit on the left hand side of the car (because in the U.K/England/Wales the passenger seat is on the left.)
I am afraid of spiders (any kind of bugs really) and the sea.
I really want to be an author, although I don't really know how to go about it, so I'm practising my writing by writing fanfiction.
My favourite book is Harry Potter. I believe that J.K. Rowling's word is law, so you will never see me write anything that is wildly out of canon. Excluding Harry Potter my favourite is probably Pride and Prejudice.

THE SERIOUS HARRY POTTER SECTION
Favourite Harry Potter Quote:
"I'd say that it's one short step from "Wizards first" to "Pure-bloods first", and then to "Death Eaters"... we're all human aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving." Kinglsey Shacklebolt D.H. p357
My friend gets me to quote this on a regular basis.
HARRY POTTER SURVEY!
If you're as mad about the series as I am copy and paste this survey into your profile
then delete my answers and write in your own! (I did not create this survey)
Question 1: What is your favorite Harry Potter book and why? Least favorite?
Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm not sure why, it was just really well written and interesting and the plot was great. Or Deathly Hallows, because everything was resolved and you understood everything. J.k.Rowling did a great job. Probably don't have a least favourite.
Question 2: What is your favorite Harry Potter movie and why? Least favorite?
Got to say Prisoner of Azkaban again. It was very loyal to the book and everyone's acting was brilliant. Least favourite? Half-Blood Prince. They changed too much and focused too much on the romantic relationships instead of the plot. And I thought some part of Deathly Hallows Part 2 could have been better e.g. Voldemorts death (why wasn't it in front of everyone??) and they didn't follow up on Dumbledore's relationship with the Hallows and Grindelwald.
Question 3: Who is your favorite character?
Ginny, probably. She's awesome.
Question 4: Who's Your Favorite Teacher at Hogwarts?
He wasn't there for long, but Remus Lupin.
Question 6: Who is your favorite Death Eater (You-Know-Who included)?
Regulus Black. Does he count?
Question 7: Who is your favorite Hogwarts Student?
Ginny again. Or Neville. Or Luna.
Question 8: What house would you want to be in? Which house do you think you would be sorted into?
Pottermore sorted me into Slytherin. I was a bit surprised actually, but now I love being in Slytherin and it helped me with my first Fanfic! If I had to choose, before Pottermore I would have said Ravenclaw.
Question 9: Would you join the Order or the Death Eaters?
Neither. Dumbledore's Army FTW!
Question 10: If you could choose any character to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, who would it be?
Harry.
Question 11: Who would be your best friend?
I'd like to be friends with Luna. She's such an interesting and original character.
Question 12: Warner Brothers postponed the release date of the Half-Blood Prince movie to July of 2009. What are your thoughts on this?
I'm writing in 2012 so this is irrelevant to me. I probably would have been annoyed, had I been aware of it, but I'm strangely oblivious to these kind of things.
Question 13: What is your favorite magical creature?
Hippogriffs, Nifflers, Phoenixes and Salamanders
Question 15: Would you throw Dolores Umbridge into a boiling vat of acid?
Of course! I can't read Order Of The Phoenix without feeling physically angry
Question 16: What character would you dress up as for Halloween?
Hermione
Question 17: How did you get your copy of The Deathly Hallows?
Ordered it. I started reading it at about 8.00 in the morning and finished it by half nine in the evening
Question 18: How did you get into Harry Potter?
My first memoy of it is seeing the Philosiper's Stone when I was about five
Question 19: What is one memorable experience you have had involving the series?
My sisters making fun of me and saying it's my bible. It got very annoying but it works surprisingly well (harry is Jesus, Dumbledore isGod, DA are disciples etc) it was very irritating.
Question 20: Have you ever seen a movie you were not particularly interested in, simply because it had a Harry Potter actor in it?
Difficult to say. Maybe, but I can't think of a specific example
Question 21: Would you go to Hogwarts, Durmstrang, or Beaubaxtons?
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts! To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts!
(That's Hogwarts to any non-Starkids)
Question 22: What was your favorite Triwizard task?
The maze. In the books it was strangely positive, Harry just wanted it to be over, he didn't find it too difficult, he was well prepared and it was what he was good at. I thought the film didn't really portray this
Question 23: Before you read The Deathly Hallows, what was your opinion of Snape?
I really disliked him
Question 24: Do you read or write fanfiction?
I enjoy writing it, and enjoy reading good ones, that are in-cannon. The one that really got me into fanfiction was Ginny Weasley and the Half-Blood Prince by RRFang. If you haven't read it I strongly reccomend that you do, it's absolutely amazing! I also LOVE Try and Tri again by Joeygirl1994
Question 25: Which spell do you wish you could use in real life?
So many. Bat bogey, obliviate, expelliarmus...
Question 26: What position would you play in Quidditch?
I'm not co-ordinated enough to play Quidditch.
Question 27: What was your favorite moment in any of the books?
Lots of Harry and Ginny romantic scenes. I'm a sucker for romance. Also I thought Voldemort's death was fantastic. And The Prince's Tale. And.. OH JUST THE WHOLE THING
Question 28: What event in the series did you wish had happened differently?
I don't know. I think that everything that happened had to happen, and needed to. Who am I to question J.K.Rowling? Maybe I'd make more people live. Like FRED :'(
Question 29: Would you join the DA?
Yes. Long live Dumbledore's Army!
Question 30: Do you think You-Know-Who has EVER had a girlfriend?
I don't think that he did. He didn't know how to love, and would never commit the ultimate sin (in his eyes) and have feelings for someone.
Question 31: What name from the series would you be willing to change your own name to?
Lily :)
Question 33: What would your pet be?
A ginger cat. That's my pet on Pottermore. I'd probably have a family owl.
Question 34: If you could belong to any family in the series, which would it be?
I think that the Weasleys are the personification (someone listened in English!) of what a family should be. Or the family that Harry and Ginny have
Question 35: Which Hallow would you most like to have?
The cloak. Who wouldn't want an invisibility cloak?
Question 36: What is your favorite horcrux?
They're all evil. Except Harry.
Question 37: Ever seen Potter Puppet Pals
Of course. They're really funny! ("I hope you find your button Snape!" "So do I orange one... so do I") I'm also a huge fan of A Very Potter Musical
Question 38: What would your patronus be?
Wolf. That's what I want it to be.
Question 39: What would be your animagus form?
I don't know if I particularly resemble any particular animal. If I had to choose, I'd say wolf again.
Question 40: Who is your favorite Marauder?
Lupin. I dislike Peter (For obvious reasons) and when they were marauders, Sirius and James were a bit annoying and full of themselves. I still like them both though, I think it was an amazing thing to do for their friend.
Question 41: If you went to Diagon Alley, where would you go first?
Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Or Flourish and Blotts
Question 42: Favorite member of the Black family?
Andromeda. She's the subject of my first ever fanfic
Question 43: Favorite member of the Weasley family?
Ginny
Question 44: Who should have won the Triwizard Cup?
I think Harry and Cedric both deserved to win. They were both just so amazing, and helped each other through the tasks.
Question 46: (insert actor here) should totally play (insert character here).
I think everyone was brilliant.
Question 47: What would you wear to the Yule Ball?
Dress robes. They'd be blue and floaty, like Hermione's
Question 48: How many times have you read the series?
Too many to count.
Question 49: Who is your favorite couple?
Harry and Ginny. I always wanted them to get together.
Question 50: Did you like this survey?
Yes!
