Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Maybe make Strength be a Patronus?

Maybe make Strength be a Patronus?

K said it's "a girl with a lion." Does anyone have a lion Patronus?

I'm guessing she chose Ginny because she had already used Hermione once.

Ginny's spells are also shown to be unusually strong.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't know from Tarot, but it is interesting to compare the choices between the first two links. I like the descriptions in the third link.

I liked that they showed that in the movie of OotP, and also showed Harry's very impressed reaction to her spells. A nice foreshadowing for the next film.

From those other decks I like the Sorting Hat for the wheel of fortune and the Patronus for Strength.

I like these too. I also like Fawkes as the Star. I think traditionally there is a peacock associated with the Star. I'll look in my tarot books later.

A peacock and a fox and a dog -- I think.

Maybe Fawkes should be the sun?

Random musings on not enough sleep -- What happens if a werewolf bites but doesn't kill an animal? There can't be, like, a cat werewolf, who's a cat most of the time but becomes a wolf at the full moon, right? At least, we've never seen it, and it seems like the sort of thing that would have been mentioned somewhere. So probably, if a werewolf bites an animal, it's just like any other animal bite. But what about if a werewolf bites a transformed Animagus? Has thins been addressed? IIRC, in PoA, it was pretty much said that Remus wouldn't hurt James and Sirius and Peter when they were animals, but I can't remember anything about what would happen if something went wrong and he did.
