IWSG Blog Post - Book Worlds

The awesome co-hosts for the July 6 posting of the IWSG are J Lenni Dorner, Janet Alcorn, PJ Colando, Jenni Enzor, and Diane Burton!

July 6 question - If you could live in any book world, which one would you choose?

If I could assume the role of the main character, it would be a romance novel like The Love Hypothesis or The Hating Game. If I had to enter the book world as myself, I'd have a hard time choosing. I'm too old to attend Hogwarts. Middle Earth lacks indoor plumbing. Westeros has too much torture and lacks indoor plumbing. Hmm... 

I wasn't allowed to read/watch HP as a kid, so when I was finally old enough to make my own decisions, I gobbled up the entire series in a few weeks. I really want to pick Harry Potter's world, but only if I'm not a muggle and only if I'm de-aged so I can attend Hogwarts. I was always an A student, so imagine my grades if things like algebra and chemistry were replaced with defense against the dark arts and potions. I'd make that Ravenclaw blue and bronze look good. 

What appeals to me most is flying on a Nimbus 2000.
I'm not athletic, so no Quidditch for me, but I'd do a lap of the grounds every evening. I haven't ridden a bike since I was a kid, and I miss the wind in my hair and the scenery rushing past. Does the Nimbus come with a radio I wonder? If not, I could tape one to the handle. 

Tell me your answer to the question in the comments! Sorry my HP answer isn't super original, but I bet Middle Earth was an even more common one.

The HP universe is awfully appealing. What fun to discover hidden rooms in Hogwarts Castle. I really must get around to reading books 5-7.

I wonder what the Room of Requirement would be for me...

Ooh, riding the Nimbus 2000 would be cool. I like your idea of just flying around on it. I was never good at team sports, and I think it would be too hard for me to do anything other than flying.
Great post!

Yup, team sports are a no-go for me too. The Firebolt would probably be too much for me to handle, but I figure I could fly a Nimbus.

Quidditch would definitely be a lot of fun!

Yes, it would. If only I were more athletic! As it is, I'd probably injure a teammate.
