Inter School Fun!

Okay, so here we can talk about all things Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang!

Ever thought you would much rather be in Durmstrang than Hogwarts? Ever wanted to rant at how the movie director either got the schools perfectly, or totally screwed them up in the movies?

This is the place!

Let's start you off...

I wonder why Beauxbatons has such beautiful, graceful students, and then the Headmistress was huge. I would have expected a Veela or something. And the movie director made it an all-girls school, as far as I can see. I don't remeber any boys in there. And I don't think the boys would flutter their eyelashes and sigh when they did their little show at the start. Y'Know, Durmstrang did this whole stomping on the ground between the House Tables and being all manly and stuff...

Yup, in the fourth book, Beauxbatons was represented as an all-girl school, and Durmstrang as an all-boy school in the movies, although it wasn't that way in the books. The funky little dance sequence is probably the reason, you're right, even though it was completely unnecessary. I hate how they add parts, like that, then completely cut out others.

I hated when the girls sighed and farted butterflies. Disgusting.

And the breakdancing from Durmstrang? HA! Laughable.

lol

I guess they didn't want to put guys in Beauxbatons because they'd make them all pansy and stereotypically french and that would offend people?

And Durmstrang came on a boat. I guess the directors just figured only men could run a ship.

Although if you factor in magic....anyone could. Stupid men thinking only linear thoughts.

No offense Mike. ^^;

If I was in "Dude-I'd-love-to-go-to-Hogwarts" mode I'd totally pick Beaux, I mean seriously, how good do I look in ligt blue? So good...

*Laughs* I'd go to Hogwarts, but if I HAD to choose, I'd go to Beaux. No, wait! Durm! No wait... Uhm... Uhm...

Graceful or pure evil? Graceful or pure evil?! Hmm... I CHOOSE EVIL!!!

I'd go to Durmstrang.

Bah! I'd go to Hogwarts and drive everyone up the wall.

I'd wander around the halls shouting voldemort.....make friends with Mrs Norris.......bring a pack of man-eating wolfdogs as my pets....wait, what? >.>

I probably shouldn't have said that last bit......

^^;

Same. Hogwart's all the way!

I know, I know. Hogwarts RULES!

But say if you HAD to choose between Bueax (sp?) and Durm, which one?

I would go to Beauxbatons University, because they don't have dormitories. You could either go home through floo or have a private flat/apartment around Paris! (Sorry, Beaux Uni was in a fic I read, 'Per Solum Lacuna' which was one of the first ones I've read, Harry/Draco of course, the first magics journals fic, with true love, betrayal, Charlie, Oliver, and two OCs named Jean Paul and some other guy who's such adorable american that Draco meets one time in Rousillion France, it's soo amazing)
Wait, where was I? Oh yes, Beaux Uni ftw!

His name was Devon, Mich.

And I too would choose Beaux, because I suspect it would be gorgeous (Anyone ever read 'Somewhere I Have Never Traveled' by Hatusu? The Beauxbatons in that one is so awesome.)

Though my first choice would be Hogwarts because I'm too lazy to learn French.

And yes, the movie was weird. I was like *blank stare* the first time I watched it and the other schools danced in. I mean, it was cool, but, wtf?

Hmmm ... if I HAD to choose, it would probably be Beaux.

I duna, Durm just doesn't seem to hold much charm for me.

Come on, people? Where's your evil pride?

EVIL ALL THE WAY!!!!

Beaux (which I am now going to not bother and just type "B" for it, and "D" for Durmstang) would be cool and all, but I mean, D would have evil spells! Come on, people!

OH yeah! Devon! He was such an adorable american that I just had to have him. To bead Draco wasn't ready for a relationship.

And isn't there an American school for witchcraft/wizardry? In Salem Massachusetts? You know, the movie the Crucible? Sabrina the Teenaged Witch?

For me, it would be hard to choose. I love Durmstrang for the pure evilness and I love Beauxbaton for it's beauty. So I'll choose Hogwarts XP.

Of course, I'll run through the hallways with Alex screaming (but in my case), "The Dark Lord has returned!" And one of my ultimate goals would be to drive Dumbles and Harry nuts (if they aren't already).

Oh, and the dancing part in Movie 4. Er...I thought it was cool but sort of..."O.O Where did that come from?"

And yes, Mich. They did mention a Salem's Witches' Academy or something in Book 4 (don't have the books with me since I'm at my sister's office).

Yeah - that's why I chose Hogs in the first place, but they MADE me choose and I chose Beaux because I didn't fancy freezing in Durm. That and France is pretty.

And I'm really desperate to drive Sev insane with that list I found ...

And I'd call Dumbledore Twinkles.

OH in Quidditch Throughout the Ages there's an American team from the Salem Academy. CooL! Maybe that's where Devon came from. And I swear if Sabrina touches him, I'd go panther mode and scratch her eyes out.

I really wish that Beauxbatons Uni was stark in the middle of France, disguised a Muggle University. Then the Eiffel will be like a magical rocket that transports students~! Yay

Oh that'd be reallly cool, if Beauxbatons' disguised as a Muggle University. I'm not really afraid of the cold so...that's why I don't really mind Durmstrang.

I'll so call Dumbles "Dumbles" or "the old coot"..or "the manipulative old fool" XD...and when I'm standing next to you, AJ, we'll call him Twinkles together. XD

And of course, we have to drive Sev and Draco nuts with the list we're coming up with.

If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose Durmstrang! Evil is amazingly creative and intriguing. But I would pick Hogwarts over Durm in a heartbeat! It is just so much better than both of them in my opinion. I think I would take after Fred and George but I would add an evil, sneaky twist to it! And I would also have to add in some Hermione Granger... the whole being smarter than everyone just seems like so much fun!

I would love to drive Snape up the wall, fight with Draco Malfoy (and eventually end up making out with him), getting the best owls... *sigh* I would love to be a fictional character!

Dude, how can you not all choose Durmstrang, in all it's dark magnificence? Goodness, has the Gryffindorkish colouring of our beloved forum gone straight to your heads? Durmstrang is just... it's just... pure awesomeness! Kyaa!

I swear the sorting on this site is rigged ^_^ It's the only test on this planet that has ever dared to sort me into Gryffindor, so by an overwhelming majority vote I'd end up in Slytherin if I ever did somehow end up in my beloved Hogwarts. I too would partake in the irratating of numerous people. It seems most enjoyable. I think I'd end up exploding a fair few things too, ne? Heh heh... ^_^"

Every sorting thing I've taken I either end up in Ravenclaw or Slytherin.
CONSPIRACY. ut Dumstrsang...^^... in its evilness gloryness... but you know they are pure-bloodests... they don't like muggle borns, or half bloods. Isn't that sort of racist? Or bloodest? And Draco was suppose to go there, but Narcissa said it was to far away...-_-

Well, if Draco was meant to go, it must be awesome!
I have never been a Hufflepuff before.
I'm always Griffindor or Ravenclaw.
I have the brains - top of my class! Top science score in the year!
Sheesh!
And Durmstrang... everyone's a little racist... you can be racist by trying to be un-racist!

Very true. And so, it is decided; Durmstrang is the awesomest. ^_^

TOTALLY the awesomest.
I mean, the Beauxbatons girls are WAY too primpy.

And what's with the whole farting-butterflies-thing? -shakes-head-
