Hermione on Ice ? I love it! ;D  Hermione reminds me a little of me a well. And that "...or worse, EXPELLED" has to be the best line in the whole movie.  Donna |

Hermione is great. I'm like her too- always the "rational" one or the wet blanket, however you like it. Finally, a heroine who's smart and brave. I can't wait to see what she's like when she's older.

There was a critic somewhere who wrote an article on how JKR wrote all her female characters as weak and stereotypical. I guess that person didn't read the books....Hermione is definitely NOT weak...if she didn't overdo it on her schoolwork, Harry and Ron and all wouldn't get out of their messes....and as for being stereotypical, how many little girls who attends a witches/wizards school and only hangs out with 2 boys all the time and is obsessive about her schoolwork to the point that she uses a time-turner does that person know?!

lol you're so right! silly people eh...
Hermione is so cool,she always seems to know what to do in those situations,and the fact that she's so dedicated to her schoolwork also adds comedy to it.
speaking of people seeing a bit of hermione in them,you know who else i see in me...lol sounds odd i know...but Ginny.
she's a lot like me when i was about 8 or 9,we look alike,course i look a lot different now cos im almost 18 lol but still,my best friend Alex gave me that nickname not only we looked like,but cos the way she has a crush on harry and manages to get herself into trouble...typical me! lol

I'm totally nót Hemione... Like now, I should be doing homework at this moment, but I'm doing nothing, just writing some silly stuff on this forum...
I don't know... I can't see anything of me in any of the characters... little bit strange... Maybe Ron, who's so shy, that's a little bit like me... not always in the spotlight...

Ginny doesn't remind me of me except for when she comes down and sees Harry in the early morning, is terrified, and runs back upstairs. I did something similar at my college freshman year orientation when this uh, swim god was walking toward me all tan and wet and instead of maintaining my direction, I turned around and went back into the restroom (where I had just been). lol Um....that was quite a while ago, btw  I was over at my friend's house one day and her 3-year-old son came out of his room from sleeping. He was in his jammies and his hair was all mussed up and he was obviously still in sleepy-mode. He took one look at me and promptly turned around and ran back into his br. I said something to Angela (not this forum Angela, btw  ) and she said, "Well how would YOU feel? He was sleeping and then he came out and saw you, someone he wants to look nice for, and he's a boy, and you're a pretty girl, so he has to go get himself all fixed up to look nice." You sorta have to picture her saying this stuff with gestures and facial expressions, etc whatnot. <g> Awww the boy (and his little bro) are practically my nephews. Donna |

awwww cute story donna i don't think i can really see any of hermionie in myself coz i'm always on the last minute doing university assignments, i don't study much for exams, etc. i suppose the character i see most of in myself is draco as he seems ambitious, wants to have the best of everything  |

Oh, your story is so cute, Donna! Little boys can be so adorable before they get to that "girls have cooties" stage. I wonder what CC was like when he was a little boy? Now that's a topic that could use another thread!

Now that's a topic that could use another thread! I agree ;D I had a bit of a wild childhood, playing with boys, having fistfights with them and at the same time having a crush on one of them... the first scene in Sandra Bullock's "Miss Congeniality" kinda reminded me of myself where little Sandra was trying to be cute to this guy by turning herself into his hero (the guy was getting bullied), and then the guy bullied her, and then she smashes his face Well, I wasn't at all THAT violent, there are times I was so gullible since that I was usually the youngest in the crowd! I have encountered different kinds of little boys during my little years (heh, what a way to put it), and these boys can be stereotyped as eary as that age... I am not so sure where Christian would fall under, he seems really intelligent at this stage, maybe he was already a geek before and likes to play 'pretend'---- you know, like he plays prince or knight or something and does imagined swordfights. And maybe he reads a LOT then and I don't think he was that physically active. Oh dear, could he be like one of those kids who're afraid of water?  |

Oh god... I guess you could say that I'm both like Hermione and UNLIKE Hermione.
I take way too many classes... usually more than I can possibly handle... but then I don't really keep on top of my work the way that I should. Those two things put together make for a very stressed me.
But this week, I've got an excuse... the article that was supposed to be on reserve ("Musica Enchiriadis") is not in the darn library.... and the person who was supposed to make the copy for me-- didn't.
University life really is trying... especially if your university is lodged in a desert wasteland (or rural ghetto).

Re Cooties...lol.... I can kiss and hug my "nephews" right now, but I dunno if that'll last too long <g> When I was in pre-school/elem. school, I would NOT play with the boys. It simply was out of the question. They were the opposite sex....something different entirely....maybe it had something to do with my LAFS (loveatfirstsight) 'thing' I had for Matt, a boy I remember being *struck by* in kindergarten.....(what was funny was, in sixth grade he was in my class and I was absent a week and I came back and my classmates told me "Oooo Donna you missed it. Matt was sitting by you for a whole week." They KNEW how I felt about him, even tho I hadn't told them! At any rate, I never really had any guy friends until college. As for my brother, he'd come home from preschool and kindergarten and announce how many girlfriends he had.  |

I wonder if anyone else was like me, having mostly guys for friends when I was little? It was usually the geeky guys, though. So if Christian was geeky, I probably would have been friends with him, if not I would have pined away for him from afar.
I bet he looked so CUTE in his little Bristish school uniform. The thought of him playing knight or prince is adorable! I bet he was a squeezable little tyke. I hope he was the kind of little boy that pulled on girl's braids for attention.

Me too. Most of my friends have always been guys. Usually nice, smart, and subtly cute guys. There was a time when my friends were geeky guys, but that was only for the first couple of years after I transferred to public school from a Seventh-day Adventist Academy.
If I'd known Christian as a little tyke, I'd have been friends with him... mainly because it seems like he'd have liked to read as much as I do/did. I'm not sure I would have noticed him as a "cute guy" right away when I was a little girl. I think it would take me a while... especially if he was one of my friends.
