Remembrall ’98: Blaise Zabini

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998! Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution.

Name:
Blaise Zabini

Favorite Memory:
Playing Quidditch

Favorite Class:
Potions

Least Favorite Class:
Divination

Favorite Teacher:
Horace Slughorn

Least Favorite Teacher:
Trelawney or that half-breed Hagrid. At least Trelawney got to live in the castle.

Favorite Place Indoors at Hogwarts:
The dungeons, or near the windows of the Slytherin common room looking out into the depths of the lake. Every once in a while if you’re lucky, something might be looking back.

Favorite Place Outdoors at Hogwarts:
The Quidditch pitch or the solemn areas around the Black Lake

Best Pet to Bring to Hogwarts:
 An owl. As a result, you will have no need for the commonly used school owls… They are both useful and proud creatures.

Favorite Wizard Chess Piece:
The king

Favorite Hogwarts Weekend Activity:
I was partial to a Hogsmeade visit or a walk around the Black Lake.

What was your favorite place to visit during Hogsmeade weekends?
My favorite was the High Street for a walk through the shops or the Three Broomsticks for a drink.

What advice would you give to first years?
Don’t worry about what others say; you know your own self-worth.

Did you ever sneak out of your common room at night, and if so, where did you go?
I might have – I might have not; but if I did or did not, would I tell you? My business is my own.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts as a whole?
I would change how disruptive things got. We all knew who was on the right side of things, so the disruption wasn’t worth the time and effort.

If you could change one thing about your time at Hogwarts, what would it be?
I’d probably have Potter kicked out. Git always ruined the year, didn’t he?

The magic of the Wizarding World enchanted me at an early age. Since then I have read the books more times than I can count. I love to inspire and connect with others through the Wizarding World.
