Have we never had a Hogwarts house debate?

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

Apologies if some of you aren't Harry Potter fans, but seeing as part one of Deathly Hallows hits the US tomorrow and almost everyone is talking about it, I thought this would be a fitting day to don the Hogwarts Galactic Fleet Academy Sorting Hat (Sorting...helmet?)

For those not magically initiated, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a rather controversial way of sorting students into houses, in which students put on a very old stinky talking hat, the hat tells them based on personality traits (or other arbitrary factors) what house they should live in, thus determining their entire social life both throughout their schooling but probably during their adult lives, all in a matter of seconds. I have a feeling spunky young Kara would tell Dumbledore this is major B.S., but that's the way it is.

The houses are these:

Gryffindor, valuing courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry.
Ravenclaw, valuing intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit.
Hufflepuff, valuing hard work, tolerance, loyalty, and fair play.
And Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, leadership, resourcefulness (bonus points if you have pure wizard blood).

Feel free to discuss away in comments how much Kara would kick ass at Quidditch, what Lee's best subject at Hogwarts would be, etc. But EVERYONE LOVES A POLL, so:

Rewatch Reminder

Hi everyone!

I'm nazkey and I'll be hosting our rewatch tonight.

For those of you who've never joined us before, first, why the heck not? And second, here's how it works:

At 9:30 pm EST (6:30 pm PST), I'll start the actual rewatch post. You can all grab your DVD, sign in to Netflix, or use whatever other method you have (legal & illegal). At precisely 10:00 pm EST we will all hit "play" together and comment/discuss live. It's a lot of fun and depending on the episode and how much angst our poor pilots are suffering things can degenerate rapidly and get totally cracky. At any rate, join us and see for yourself how much fun it is!

Tonight's episode is Dirty Hands (Season 3, Episode 16)

For the old-timers on the list (you know who you are), I expect to see all of you here, okay? Okay.

After Party Note: I want to change things up a bit too and ask to see who wants to host the after party up front. Please respond to this post and the first person who responds with an appropriate teaser (short drabble/comment!fic or GIF) gets to host. See what I did there?

Thanks guys and see you ALL tonight!
