If you could be any character from the “Harry Potter” series, what character would you be?—
Minerva McGonagall
Thanks to my big hair and affinity for books, most people knew me as Hermione during my grade school years. It’s time for a change. I want to grow up to be just like McGonagall one day.
— Hailey
Harry Potter
But I would prefer the title of “Perennial Exam Canceler” over “The Chosen One.”
— Brandon
Gollum
We must protect the ring from Voldemort at all costs.
— Max
Hermione Jean Granger
J.K. Rowling has a knack for writing strong, intelligent female characters — Hermione being the best. Give me three cans of hairspray, and this flat-haired witch is halfway there.
— Olivia
He who shall not be named
No nostrils, means no sinus infections.
— Kyle
Luna but not looney
Because my best friend said so.
— Lindsay
Newt Scamander
The magical monsters are the coolest part of the series. Why not be the one who gets to play with them?
— Jonah
Severus Snape
Because I wish I could be secretive and quiet about things.
— Elizabeth
Moaing Myrtle
She makes crying in the bathroom socially acceptable. Seems like a good gig to me.
— Meredith
Hagrid
Being a giant would be great except maybe when you hit your head on low ceilings. Not to mention all the cool pets I would have.
— Grayson
