The idea is to get to know these characters better, to share ideas and speculation, to ask questions, and to spark people&amp;#39;s imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought we could start off with Blaise Zabini, for no particular reason. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Blaise_Zabini" target="_blank"&gt;Harry Potter Wiki entry on Blaise&lt;/a&gt; contains a good summary of what&amp;#39;s known about the character, as well as some speculation based on those facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some possible ideas to get the discussion started:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Where do his ancestors come from? How long has his family been in Britain?&lt;br /&gt;- Why was he sorted into Slytherin?&lt;br /&gt;- What career do you think he went into after Hogwarts and why?&lt;br /&gt;- Do you agree with the Wiki entry, which claims Blaise was arrogant, disdainful, confrontational, contemptuous, disrespectful, and difficult to please romantically?&lt;br /&gt;- What do you think his name reveals about him, if anything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to ask your own questions as well, and to make any additional remarks you&amp;#39;d like about Blaise Zabini!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=hp_diversity&amp;ditemid=193292" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
