Meet the Staff
Hazel Marinus
Hello everyone! Welcome to Meet the Staff! In this weekly blog series, I'll be interviewing our amazing members of staff here at WoP EU, giving you the chance to get to know them all a little better. Without our hard-working staff team, we wouldn't have any lessons, articles, plots, competitions, books, clubs or rules to keep our site running. There's some incredible human beings behind the screens here, so it's time we found out some more about them!

This week, I'm interviewing our lovely Head of Badgers, Hazel Marinus! For the last four months, she's been looking after all the hardworking Hufflepuffs, and today we'll get to find out some more about her :3
If you were to attend Hogwarts in real life, which class do you think you’d do the best at? Which would you enjoy?
If I were a Hogwarts student I think I'd definitely be the best at Muggle Studies, since I already have quite a bit of knowledge of the way things in our world work! I also think I'd enjoy Care of Magical Creatures! You can never go wrong when it comes to cute, cuddly, animals!
That definitely makes sense! Muggle Studies does seem like it'd come naturally to a muggle :P for our next question, which character from the Harry Potter books do you relate to the most and why?
I think I relate most to Neville. At the end of the day he just wanted to be there for his friends and do the right thing. He embodies what its like to never quite fit in, and he's always been one of my favorite characters!
Neville is a great choice :D he has such amazing character growth too! Next up: what’s your proudest accomplishment that you’d like to share with us all? (Can either be related to WoP or not, it’s up to you!)
I think my proudest accomplishment is having the ability and the honor to be the badgers head of house! I've had a handful of other staff jobs in the past, but being able to run and rebuild and look after the badgers is definitely incredibly exciting, and something I'm very proud of.
That's definitely something to be proud of :3 the Badgers are doing super well under your guidance ehehe! If you had to pick your perfect meal (a main course, a dessert and a drink), what would you choose and why?
My perfect meal would have Dr. Pepper for a drink, chicken and bacon mac and cheese for the main course, and brownies for dessert!
Brownies :V you take the mac and cheese, I take the dessert! Final question: what would your ideal house be like? Eg., would it be in the city or the countryside? A sprawling mansion or a cosy cottage? Colourful and messy, or tidy and organised?
I think my ideal house would be in a smaller city, that way it isn't too busy but I'm still close to things. It would be a cute little small house with just enough room for me and my pets. I would want lots and lots of natural lighting and hardwood floors!
Awwh, I'm sure the pets would love that :3
And there we have it! Thank you so much to Hazel (and her pets) for taking part this week! Hopefully she remembers to share the brownies with me :V

See you in next week's edition!
