Pottermore Interview

What's your Pottermore username?
PatronusOak114

What House do you think it sounds like?
It sounds like Gryffindor because it sounded generic. Wizards do use spells, and the number 114 sounds like it's a multiple of 7 (although it really isn't) which is a number that holds a very mystical meaning for me. There are a lot of 7's in the magical kingdom.

What House do you want to be in?
Ravenclaw! I always wanted to be in Ravenclaw because it thrills me to think that the house is very exclusive. Not to brag, but you really have to be smart to get sorted here, ‘coz if not, then you have to wait for someone else to arrive to give the correct answer to get past through the Ravenclaw entrance.

Does your username relate to you at all?
Yes, a bit. It seems to me a very magical username (but I guess all are). Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve always believed in magic. I’ve always thought that there are things in this world that could not be explained by orthodox science. Even up to now, I firmly believe in paranormal and psychic phenomena. Having been raised within a culturally superstitious community, I would have a hard time putting out this belief from my system.

(The Patronus charm is an advanced sort of incantation that wards off evil (dementors). It fits me well because I have mostly been part of an advanced class or a member of an honor organization that aims to dispel ignorance. The term Patronus suits me well. The term Oak does me well too! Oaks are ancient and mysteries. Some legends say that oak trees are dwelling places of magical entities like fairies and dwarves. I can't seem to find any relevance with the number 114 to my life.)

What kind of wand would you wish to get?
I would rather use a wand made from a wood or tree from my native land. I mean. I have never even seen a holly, elder nor a hawthorn tree. I would prefer my wand to be made from a special native tree called Kamagong tree (Mabolo fruit,  Diospyros blancoi) related to the ebony tree. Its wood is very dense, hard and “unyielding.”It’s very difficult to carve or break. The core should be that of a phoenix tail feather or a unicorn hair.

What I got was Black Walnut, 11 1/2 inches, with dragon core. I'm okay with it!

Are you pure, half-blooded or Muggle-born?
I think I’m a pure-blood. My father came from a remote locale where supernatural activities are almost part of daily living (I’m telling the truth). My mother is from an urban state, but she has this unusual affinity for the unexplained. She loves Feng Shui and incantations (prayers).

Which day did you get into Pottermore?
Day 2 (August 1, 2011)! On July 31, 2012, I visited the Pottermore website only to find out that there was this magical contest to find the magical quill. And Day 1 was over. So I decided not to sleep for Day 2. I was closely monitoring the Pottermore page for any changes. I even installed a Chrome extension that refreshes a page every 5 minutes.

What shape is your Patronus?
It would be a tapir. This will be a great Patronus. The Tapir – the eater of nightmares!

What does your boggart look like?
It would be me, in rugged clothing, begging for food and coin!

Would you rather be an Animagus or a Matamorphmagus?
Animagus. Although being a Metamorphmagus allows you to morph your anatomy (to which many males may find interesting), I’d still prefer being a total animal. Being an animal won’t look as freaky as being a human with a pig’s ear!

 If you were an Animagus, what animal would you be?
I’d rather be a tiny bird (a Eurasian tree sparrow). I would fly around houses and spy on people! They would never suspect that I’m an Animagus, because sparrows are pretty common. They perch on almost every spot!
