    What Hogwarts house are you in?

    I'm a Ravenclaw. I really like the fact that Ravenclaws aren't just limited to smart people, they can also be very creative and really passionate about the things they like. For example knowing a lot about a certain topic or subject they really enjoy. What about y'all?

    I hope so if JK Rowling writes any more books. Daniel Radcliffe's only 28, he's not too old to reprise the role that made him famous.
