Claiming Potter

Hey! This is a community where you can claim anything and everything Harry Potter to be your very own! Here's the rundown on claims...

You start with FIVE claims, PLEASE check the list before claiming anything! This will save me time!

You can gain extra claims by creating/doing the following:
*Create an icon for the community: 1 extra claim
*Promote this community(and link me to it for proof): 1 extra claim
*Create a banner for the community: 2 extra claims (Make it something you wouldn't mind having on your friends plage please!)
*Have a banner linking to this community on your info page: 2 extra claims
Please wait until I approve you before claiming extra stuff. I need to verify that you DO get extra claims.

The community claims list will be updated at the bare minimum of once a month. This comunity is to create new friendships and encourage discussions about Harry Potter.

Below is a link you can use as a reference to get ideas on what to claim!

Please feel free to contact me at the email below if there are any problems at all! (With your claims, another member, etc.)

Be sure to let me know that you are from claimingpotter in the subject line or I just might ignore you!

Please note that this community is under construction. I haven't really decided on a layout yet, so when I do, this message will be gone!

Please try to keep your claims in reference to the HP books. Occasionally I will let a movie claim go through, but no actors or actressess; it opens up too great a floor for arguement. I will be continuing the pairings however, cause those are pure speculation, and I think it's fun to see what you come up with : )

Quotes:
--"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -Sirius Black, Page 525, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - rubbaduckie06
--"Deliberately causing mayhem in Snape's Potions class is about as safe as poking a sleeping dragon in the eye" (Chamber of Secrets pg186) - sra33
--"Just because it’s take you three years to notice, Ron, doesn’t mean no one else has spotted I’m a girl!"- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - scare_bloodyblu
"Oh, are you a prefect Percy? You should have said something we had no idea."
"Hang on I think I remember him saying something about it, Once..."
"Or twice-"
"A minute-"
"All summer-" [Fred and George Weasley] - maureeni
--"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." Albus Dumbledore (page 297 in The Sorcerer's Stone) - pardonthelitany
--"One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode." - Ron from Order of Phoenix - kiwibee
--"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am." - Luna Lovegood - simply_strange
--"Harry, however, had never been less interested in Quidditch; he was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy." - pg 409, Half-Blood Prince
- kinneasirvine
--'Wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? All right, lets go.' -Tonks, page 53, OotP - slowriot
--"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making... As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death --- if you aren't as big a bunch of dunerheads as I usually have to teach." - Professor Snape's Potions introduction (SS) - maddyriddle
--"Don't put your wand there, boy!" roared Moody. "What if it ignited? Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know!" - wallflower1116
-- "You don't know what it's like! You -- neither of you -- you've never had to face him, have you? You think it's just memorizing a bunch of spells and throwing them at him, like you're in class or something? The whole time you're sure you know there's nothing between you and dying except your own -- your own brain or guts or whatever -- like you can think straight when you know you're about a second from being murdered or tortured or watching your friends die -- they've never taught us that in their classes, what it's like to deal with things like that -- and you two sit there acting like I'm a clever little boy to be standing here alive, like Diggory was stupid, like he messed up -- you just don't get it, that could just as easily have been me, it would have been if Voldemort hadn't needed me --" - Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - fortunadevinis
--"I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want them to do, without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt if I want to." - Tom Riddle, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - fortunadevinis
--"You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts...but you cannot deny he's got style..."
- Phineas Nigellus slowriot
--"Do you know the Prefect's bathroom on the 5th floor?" "It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water." - Cedric Diggory GOF annebloom188
--"S'up Figgy?" - Mundungus Fletcher - slowriot MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2005
--'Did you like question ten, Moony?' asked Sirius as they emerged into de Entrance Hall.
'Love it', said Lupin briskly. 'Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question.'
'D'you think you managed to get all the signs?' said James in tones of mock concern.
'Think I did,' said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. 'One: he's sitting on my chair. Two: he's wearing my clothes. Three: his name is Remus Lupin.'maddyriddle MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2005
-- "No need to call me sir, Professor." -Harry Potter - missy7280
-- "Everybody thinks he's delusional" -Hermione from Order of the Phoenix, referring to Harry - afterglowmegami
-- "Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory." Dumbledore, P.724 GOF - kelkey
-- "The Death Eaters can't all be pure-blood, there aren't enough pure-bloods left," said Hermione stubbornly. "I expect most of them are half-bloods pretending to be pure. It's only Muggle-borns they hate, they'd be quite happy to let you and Ron join up."
"There's no way they'd let me be a Death Eater!" said Ron indignantly, a bit of sausage flying off the fork he was now brandishing at Hermione and hitting Ernie MacMillan on the head. "My whole family are blood traitors! That's as bad as Muggle-borns to Death Eaters!"
"And they'd love to have me," said Harry sarcastically. "We'd be best pals if they didn't keep trying to do me in." This made Ron laugh; even Hermione gave a grudging smile, and a distraction arrived in the shape of Ginny. (HBP)- camatie
