Total your results.
1-15 points: You have a balanced view of the Potterverse. Congratulations! I'm glad that you are actually contributing to the gross national product. Someone has to.
16-30 points: You're on a slippery slope, my friend. Another few steps and you'll be banging your Time Turner on the ground, swearing because it doesn't work, while someone in the thirty point range points out patiently that of course it doesn't work, they were all smashed by Hermione in the Ministry of Magic at the end of OotP.
31-45 points: You're starting to scare your friends and family. Don't worry, though. They won't need to intervene for at least another six months.
46-60 points: I'll bet you've been caught with your head in the fireplace regularly.
61-75 points: Congratulations! Reality has lost its hold on you entirely. Enjoy your Ice Mice.

My score? 1601623859865617034052798.

You actually have Snape imprisoned in your dungeon. (Please comment with your address, in this case.)

LOL!

Being the mature, rational adult that I am (hey! I can hear that chortling back there!) I scored less than 15 points...but it's scaring how quickly that score could hit the 50+point range with so little effort.

[jaelle-n-gilla.livejournal.com]

You have recreated the lake at Hogwarts in your bathtub, complete with Giant Squid and merpeople.

You didn't? What do you mean, you didn't? Where do you keep your quid then?

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

*laughs tears*

*loves you forever*

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! I'm bookmarking this one--it's hysterical!

[cordelia_v]

I scored 20. I mean, seriously and actually.

*is in trouble*

This is hilarious. My children ran in to see what was making me howl with laughter, and (for once, given how NC 17 a lot of my flist's posts are) I could share it. Soon, they were also rolling on the floor.

You're very witty, sugar.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Less than 15? Huzzah! Thank goodness one of us can still walk a straight line. ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Didn't you see? I scored 1601623859865617034052798 points, because I am the Giant Squid.

*giggles*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

*huggles back* Glad you enjoyed! ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'm so glad you liked it. I giggled like an idjit while typing it out.

[florahart]

You start a comm specifically for epic poetry in iambic pentameter about Antipodean Opaleye dragons with insomnia.

...*thinks*

Also, whew, 14. *is balanced* *nods*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I scored 20. I mean, seriously and actually.

*laughs and laughs*

Are you certain about that? No mad-eye romps in the bedroom? ;)

Thanks for reading, I'm so glad you liked it! *hugs*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Just a little further and we could be enjoying Ice Mice together. *laughs*

[rexluscus.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that you are actually contributing to the gross national product. Someone has to.

Hahaha! Although I only scored a 12, I think the last time I contributed much to the GDP was when I bought the last HP book! *sigh*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Boy, it seems like nearly every is balanced! Imagine that!

;) And the GNP seems to be flailing on by itself, so it must be doing fairly well...heh.

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

ROFL, I think I'm balanced as well! Sigh!

Doesn't everyone ask for mad-eye mojo? ;) This was hilarious!

[cordelia_v]

Looking over the other responses, I seem to be the only one (so far) who will cop to scoring over 16.

What is it with the rest of you? I know Flora's score is suppressed by never going to cons, etc. But the rest of them? I suspect they're not really being honest with themselves, in some cases.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem, and need help, you know.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

haha!! I know I'm partial to a bit of mojo every so often...*waggles eyebrows suggestively*

[onyx-noir.livejournal.com]

I don't have a basement, but have been known to refer to my kitchen as the 'potions lab' on occasion. Does that count?


This was absolutely hilarious, thanks for the laugh.




Here via daily_snitch btw...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it!

And your icon made me lol. hee!!

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

I got 17 accurately, though that's not including the Bella, Lily, and Harry, all with the last name Potter, I've sat for at the kennel...

[musigneus.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Do you still get a point if your significant other dressed as Dumbledore or Kennilworthy Whisp (for lack of appropriate beard) to accompany you when you were dressed as Minerva? Just so I know for certain if I'm balanced or on the slippery slope... ;)

Thanks for the giggles!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I'd say that slippery slope is fast approaching. Hooray!

And...perfect icon!

*hugs*

[jaelle-n-gilla.livejournal.com]

Ah, I missed that one *g*
Now I have a picture in my head of a lion in a bathtub with 8 arms... I'm going to giggle all day and it's your fault!

Apologies for failing HTML before.

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Your significant other has dressed as Snape for you.
Oh, but he will and it has been planned pretty much since before we officially got together. Mwah. But look at us (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/002h72e0/g904)! We ARE Lily/Severus. ...I just need to powder him a bit. (Seriously, my hair is dark red (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/003cdesc/g71), and for what he lacks in proper skin tone, he will chill everyone with his "I hate the world and everyone in it" expressions. Another picture (http://pics.livejournal.com/lavinialavender/pic/002h65cc/g904) of my golden boy to show his hair is canon.)

[innerslytherin]

You actually have Snape imprisoned in your dungeon. (Please comment with your address, in this case.)

*cracks up* Ditto.

And I'm sure reality has no hold on me, but I lost track of my points because I was laughing too hard.

[hp5freak.livejournal.com]

I got 33...

But only because it is not MY sig other who dresses as Snape...regularly...without complaint. That is my friend's husband.

But I fully admit that I am nearing intervention. Give me a few more weeks and all will be ....well, crazy.

Great quiz though!

Re: Apologies for failing HTML before.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

The first pick is locked, I think, but I see what you mean about the hair! Very cool.

But has he dressed as Moody for you? Now that's the test. *grins*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Yeah, I was going for that effect. ;) Glad you enjoyed!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

ha! You win so far. I think the closest has 20 points.

Let me know when the intervention happens. :)

Glad you enjoyed!

[nimbus1944.livejournal.com]

A mere 4 on the Potteritis scale. Sorry, no epic dragon poems -- well, unless you count my "Song of Odo". And I'm preparing a Saunders Triplets fansite, but nothing unusual about that, right, doc?

Re: Apologies for failing HTML before.

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Whoops, sorry about that - I forget how I randomly lock things sometimes.

Aha, well, as Lily/Severus has been my OTP for five years now (in case it wasn't already clear ;)), since pretty much the very day I came into fandom, I have not yet felt the need to vary what works so fabulously, fabulously well.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

4?! Wow, you're the most un-obsessed so far! Congratulations!

[gina-r-snape.livejournal.com]

I got a 27!

Though, You actually have Snape imprisoned in your dungeon. (Please comment with your address, in this case.)

Well he's not imprisoned. He's my husband!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

So where's your address?! hahaha!

And you win! You have the highest score.
