Celia Richmond

Member since November 13, 2005
Celia's Quick Facts!
My hometown – Manchester, UK
My occupation – School Student
My hobbies – Reading, Internet (where I spend most of my time), Cross stitch (when I find time!), playing guitar, umm…yeah. I spend most of my time doing one of those things or working…
My favourite HP book – Well, I loved Goblet of Fire at the time, and still do, but I also love the latest 2. I wasn't a big fan of the 5th one. Maybe I should read it again. The first 3 were good, but nothing comparable to the later ones.
How many times have I read each book? – Only once, I think, though I've listened to the first 2 or 3 quite a few times on tape. I really should re-read them all, but I also have loads of other books to get to!
My favourite non-HP book – Having recently read Checkmate, I've once again realised just how amazing the Noughts and Crosses trilogy by Malorie Blackman is, so I think I'll have to say those. There’re several other books that I’ve enjoyed, but that trilogy just, as my friend put it when she first introduced me to them, gives you a “punch in the face.”
My favourite HP character – Well, Snape's a great character (portrayed brilliantly by Alan Rickman, may I add, in the films), though I wouldn't like him as a teacher. Ron's a great character too, though he can be rather annoying. And I can relate to Hermione pretty well. Oh, and the Weasley twins are just genius.
First RP character – Sophia Hallington H3…Yeah, the shy, rather boring one.
My favourite movies & TV shows – House and The Simpsons for TV I'd have to say though there're loads of programmes I'd happily watch…pretty much any comedy shows. And I love “quizcoms” like QI, Mock the Week and Have I got News for You. As for films...well, I'm a fan of quite a few...I like "Romcoms" and generally all comedies.
My favourite actors/actresses – I think Hugh Laurie's excellent as House in House, and I'm also a fan of Colin Firth.
