Pottermore Beta, Harry Potter 30 Day challenge all in one post!

Hello peoples of Earth. Have any one of you joined Pottermore? I have! I joined on Day 4, because I'm lazy and I didn't want to wake up early. :)
I'm PurpleNight166. Tell me your user names in the comments below!
 So I stole this from Twitchverse , and it is a 30 day HP challenge. I'm guessing that you have to do each question a day, but that would be a very short post, don't yeah think? So here we go!

One - favourite book? Deathly Hallows. It is my favourite Hp and favorite book of ALL TIME.
Two - favourite movie? Deathly Hallows Part 2. It was just an amazing way to end the series.
Three - which film made you angry? I think Order of the Phoenix, because they left a lot of stuff out. :/Four - least favourite female character?  Umbridge. She's a bitch.
 Five - least favourite male character? Voldy
Six - what house would you be in? Gryffindor! But we will see what Pottermore has to say...
 Seven - favourite female character? Luna
Eight - favourite subject at Hogwarts? Probably DADA
Nine - favourite male character? Dumbledore. And Sirius
Ten - horcruxes or Hallows? Hallows. I'm not a killer!
Eleven - which character do you relate to? Maybe Sirius, because sometimes I feel like the odd one out in my family
Twelve - favourite pairing?  Ron/Hermione
Thirteen - least favourite movie? Order of the Phoenix
Fourteen - Voldemort or Harry? Harry Potter,duh
Fifteen - who would be your best friend at Hogwarts?  I'd probably be friends with Angelina, or Katie Bell... or anyone on the Quidditch team.
Sixteen - favourite Professor? Dumbledore, but since he doesn't teach when Harry's at Hogwarts, Lupin.
Seventeen - what would your wand be made of?  Don't know...
Eighteen - least favourite book? I love them all!
Nineteen - prefer books or films? books
Twenty - who would you like to meet from the cast? The trio!!
Twenty-one - which character would you bring back to life? Most likely Sirius
Twenty-two - Harry Potter or Twilight? HP for LIFE!
Twenty-three - Any part of the books/films made you cry?  Dumbledore's death, All the deaths in DH, The King's Cross chapter with Dumbledore, The Epilogue. In the movie Snape's death, The Princes Tale, and the credits.
Twenty-four - any scene you wished was in the movie? Dumbledore's history.
Twenty-five - satisfied with the epilogue? Very.
Twenty-six - favourite spell?  Expecto Patronum
Twenty-seven - which Hallow would you rather own?  If I didn't know about the Resurrection Stone, and how it didn't bring people COMPLETELY back to life, it would be that. But since I know the story, it would be the Invisibility cloak.
Twenty-eight - who would be your nemesis at Hogwarts? Draco
Twenty-nine - what you like as a job after Hogwarts? Auror, or professional Quidditch player. I'd be a Chaser.
Thirty - how much has Harry Potter affected you and your life? A lot. I would not be this person that's me if it wasn't for The Boy Who Lived.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - Review

  When I saw the movie the atmosphere in the theatre was just so exciting. You would see Hogwarts students, Death Eaters, Harrys,Rons,Hermiones, and I saw a Hagrid also. Everyone was excited and nervous and scared and exhilarated. It was amazing.

 I am going to list what I liked :
  • The opening scene with Snape and Hogwarts was very powerful. It was a very sad feeling to see Hogwarts-the place we all adore- to be in such a terrible state
  • The Gringotts scene was very interesting for me 
  • After the Gringotts scene everything was focused towards the final battle
  • I found Aberforth very similar looking to Dumbledore, so I think they did a good casting decision
  • I liked the part where Harry jumps out at Snape and the McGonagall vs Snape was very good. Even though I liked this scene very much, I still loved how it was in the book, in the Ravenclaw common room.
  • The battle. Soo good. It really kept everyone in the theatre on the edge of their seats.
  • I loved Neville in the movie. I'm glad he got his moments.
  • Snapes death was just sooo amazing. Alan Rickman is amazing.
  • The Prince's Tale was so well done. The part that got to me most was when Snape was sobbing, rocking Lily back and forth...:'(
  • The forest scene...I loved it.
  • The King's Cross was good, should have been longer, ad I'm upset they left out Dumbledore's past, but I loved that they kept all the lines
  • The flaw in the plan was very good( except for the part when Harry jumps of the cliff with Voldy...I just thought that if Harry and Voldy were so close, one of them would have killed the other!) But I'm glad Harry addressed Voldy as "Tom")
  • I'm sort of upset that when Voldemort died he sort of burst into little pieces. I wanted it to be in the book, him being dead on the ground. I thought that showed how mortal Voldy was when Harry killed him
  • The Epilogue was so sweet. The trio looked weird...but it was to be expected? I hated how Harry's scar was gone. I thought it was a reminder of all the horrors in Harry's past.
I loved movie 8. What a phenomenal way to end the series.
