I was bored in the car on the way to registration today, and I was wondering if I still would've liked Harry Potter is he had had a different first name. Would you think, just as a first impression, that Gary Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone would be a good book? I don't think I would've. I bet J.K. had to think awhile to get the perfect name to make the best impression. Harry's pretty good I think. I wouldn't want a George Potter, or a Jason Potter. That would just be weird, but maybe that's just because I've heard it this way for so long.
On a more controversial note, what if Harry Potter was a girl? Like Elizabeth Potter or something, would you read that? Would that be as good of a story. I think eveyone has little prejudice inside of them, whether or not it shows a lot. I don't think I'm a racist or sexist. I get along with pretty much everyone. But I think J.K. Rowling made the best story by making Harry Potter male. It doesn't seem the same had he not been a he...

OMG I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT THE OTHER DAY! haha sorry. but seriously, i was. i was like hmm what if he had a different name..? then i couldnt think of anything else that sounded good so i quit trying haha.
oh & if he had been a girl, i totally would have loved it more, but theres that sexist side of me :] actually i really dont know, its hard to try & figure yknow? i think it might have been better though bcuz okay the guy won, whatever. but if a girl beat the guy lord voldemort, it'd be even more impressive, i think. but idk. i'd hafta read the book haha
haha oh & i was thinking... are you really listening to all these songs when you write these? bcuz you listen to a lottt of different music haha. just wondering :]
I think that be cool for a Ms. Potter to be Voldemort! That would be awesome! I think the storyline would be a lot different though. A girl would definitely approach some situations differently than a guy, not necessarily for better or worse, but probably some of both.
And yes, lol, I actually am listening to that music. I created a folder on my computer that is a mix of all the music I have in alphabetical order. I select all of them with ctrl + A, and then randomly choose one to start at and right-click and press "play all". So then I got a good variety. I'll listen to mostly anything - country, hip hop, light rock. I don't like rap that well, though.
haha cool. yeah im basically the same way, i'll listen to just about anything except for like heavy metal or country.. gahh i hate country. i only like like 4 songs + rascal flatts but thats all our bus driver listens to, everrr. every day.. there & back.. -shudder- ahh its bad. haha
I only like "pop" country, like Shania Twain or Kenny Chesney. I absolutely despise "Yee haw, cowboy" stereotypical country. Erggg... that stuff is just weird. I don't like heavy metal either. I'm not a hippie...
yeahh the select few country songs i DO like are pop country. but yeee haww? yuuuckk haw more like it. haha
