Thanks so much to all the wonderful essay writers. Scribbulus was the first way I became really interested in Leaky.

The essay I like the most is the Butterbeer to Aunt Petunia. While I definitely wouldn't call Petunia a soldier on the right side myself, it is doing a very good job to show things from her point of view. I also like the tone of it. All in all a great read. smile.gif

I enjoyed a butterbeer for aunt petunia as I agree with the essay's author and there were some really valid points in there. I am really glad that JK Rowling gave us insight into Petunia's past, which makes us get a better understanding of her which I always needed to be honest.

I liked the "Butterbeer to aunt petunia" best, because petunia definitely had something behind her wall, and it is nice that someone wrote about it.

i voted already for "A Butterbeer for Aunt Petunia". I think it was very well written and delve into depths regarding this character. Many of the points brought up by the author coincide with my own thoughts when I read through the series of books, but I could not articulate it as well as the author did. Kudos to the author ^_^
