As you like it - Harry Potter

[Rachel]

seeker, more glory

wizard chess or gobstones?

[Evil Stu Man]

Wizard Chess - more dark and violent.

Professor Quirrel or Bellatrix Lestrange?

[Rachel]

bellatrix, she has a personality, quirrell didn't!

the passage behind the statue of a witch or the one into the shrieking shack?

[hpfanfiction]

The one behind the humpbacked witch please- as I'd rather visit Honeydukes/Hogsmeade than the Shrieking Shack. Besides, that chapter (The Marauder's Map) is one of my favourite ones in the entire series, together with The Prince's Tale and Snape's Worst Memory.
Dementors or Boggarts?

[Rachel]

boggarts - you can get rid of them much easier.

hippogrifs or thestrals?

[Pardona]

Hippogrifs... I'd rather not have to see a Thestral. Though I think if you can see them anyway, they're a whole lot more useful.

Beauxbatons or Durmstrang?

[hpfanfiction]

Beauxbatons - I French and France, and Durmstrang is too into the dark arts
Frank Bryce or Bathilda Bagshot?

[Byakuya San]

Bathilda, because I actually know who that is.

Florean Fortescue (the ice cream guy) or Ollivander?

[Pardona]

Ollivander - wandlore is ever so intriguing. (oh, and Bryce is the old muggle who gets killed by Voldemort at the beginning of OotP - the one the villagers thought had killed the Riddles)

Rat or Toad?

[Siniri]

Toad. Because they don't hurt when they bite.
Trelawney or Firenze?

Hippogrifs... I'd rather not have to see a Thestral. Though I think if you can see them anyway, they're a whole lot more useful.

You made me realize that since 2006, I would be able to see a thestral.

[hpfanfiction]

Firenze of course =)- he knows what he's talking about (apart from her once-in-every-7-year prophecies, Trelawny is a fraud!)...and it doesn't hurt that he's supposed to be really good looking too

The Marauder's Map or the Two-Way Mirrors?

[Pickles]

Marauder's Map, definitely.

Percy or Umbridge?

[hpfanfiction]

Percy of course- Umbridge is just twisted/evil, Percy was misguided...but he came around in the end
Crabbe or Goyle?

[Pardona]

Crabbe. Went out in style, he did.

The battle of Hogwarts or the battle at the Ministry?

[Siniri]

Hogwarts -- way more epic.

most surprising love: Snape being in love with Lily vs. Dumbledore being in love with what's-his-name (Grindelwald?)?
or Aberforth and the goat?
