A/N: This story is presently a stand-alone experiment with how the Harry Potter students would react to the fantasy world, based on their experiences at Hogwarts, as well as their speculated interest in fantasy fiction. After it's finished, I may possibly write a story about the same children involved in The Quest in place of the canon Paladins. The reason I say "possibly" is because I have a bad habit of not finishing long fan fictions that I start, and I want to be sure that I want to go ahead with such a thing.

However, even if I don't write such a story, at least there will be this interview story to enjoy. So, enjoy!

By the way, the questions are copied from those on the old questionnaire The Quest contestants were asked while auditioning for the show, but the characters' answers are completely original.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter books or ABC's The Quest. J. K. Rowling and Green Harbor Productions own them respectively.

Angelina Johnson

Angelina Johnson is a "Paladin" – a competitor on the Quest in the land of Everealm.

Always eager to be a sportswoman in the wizarding world, Angelina learned how to ride a broomstick at a very early age and her speed outstripped that of everybody she raced against. The Quidditch team "Chudley Cannons" are her heroes in the game of Quidditch, and she later became one of the greatest female Chasers of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team at Hogwarts.

What is your earliest memory of the fantasy genre? What made you become a fan?

I think my earliest memory was when I discovered The Chronicles of Prydain as an eight-year-old child. The books were very funny, yet they were also very sophisticated in their storytelling. I loved seeing the heroes, especially Taran, Eilonwy, and little Gurgi, get the job done in a world full of kings, dwarfs, and Fair Folk. The Black Cauldron is my favorite book in the series, partly because a relatively low-tech computer game based on the book was made in the 1980s, which I played a little before first going to Hogwarts.

What's the craziest thing you've done in the name of fandom?

That's easy. The craziest thing I've ever done was to take a used potion cauldron and mix some cooking ingredients in it, pretending it was my own Black Cauldron. It was such fun, pretending that I was the Horned King with his evil tool for world domination. Of course, I got in big trouble for messing around with my parents' private wizarding materials, but it was worth it. I almost used another cauldron to test the American broomstick sport, Quodpot, while I was in Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall and Madame Hooch were having none of it. How they glared!

What is your guilty pleasure when it comes to fantasy?

Even though I'm a Gryffindor, not a Ravenclaw, I can be pretty creative with my ideas, and I try to think of sports which could be made out of characters and places in the stories I love. I made up my own "Hobbit Golf" after reading about the defeat of Goblin King Golfimbul inspired the game of golf in the Shire, in the book The Hobbit. I could name a lot of others, too, if I had the time.

How do you define a hero?

Somebody who faces the odds no matter what they may be, and who does so to serve a greater good. Heroes fight (or play) because they want to, and because they have something worth living for, or something worth dying for if it can help others live, and they intend to gain recognition for their brave actions. On the Quidditch pitch, I always play with passion and gusto, never giving up until I've won, or some dirty Slytherin has knocked me out.

Who is your real-life hero and why?

My hero is a regional English Quidditch Chaser, Dragomir Gorgovitch. Even though not everybody likes him, I think he's a good example of a Quidditch player who goes for the goal, and stops at nothing but unconsciousness to achieve his aims. He's very courageous, not to mention very skilled, and he can do daring moves and score points unlike any other Chaser I've ever seen. His greatest moment was being transferred to the Chudley Cannons. I couldn't hope to be as great as him.
