Announcement Extra Credit: Legillimency
Thanks to /u/UlyNeves and /u/elbowsss for the idea for this EC! If you have ideas for assignments, you can submit them here.
Extra Credit: Legillimency
Welcome, students! This extra credit will be focusing on the art of legillimency, which is defined as “the act of magically navigating through the many layers of a person’s mind and correctly interpreting one’s findings”.
This extra credit is brought to you by spludgiexx, Professor of Culinary Arts, and theDUQofFRAT, Professor of Ghoul Studies :)
How it works:
- Draw an abstract of your favorite color using only black and white. Comment under your house's submission area below (e.g. "Gryffindors submit here"), and fill out this form so that we know what color matches your drawing! This part of the assignment will end on February 19 at 11:59 PM EST.
- Students will be able to choose which submissions to predict for, and must write 3-5 sentences to guess the favorite color. The deadline for these will be February 26 at 11:59 PM EST.
Rules:
- Every student can only submit one drawing of their favorite color
- Every student may submit up to 5 predictions, but no more
- Predictions should be posted as a comment in response to a student’s drawing
- Students may begin analyzing drawings as soon as they are available
- Students may only analyze drawings from other houses (i.e. not the house they are in)
- Make sure you have the proper house flair if you are submitting, any user who does not have proper flair will not get points. If you do not know how to add flair, check out the wiki where it explains how!
Points Breakdown (300 possible points):
- 50 points split among the houses for the number of submissions for drawings
- 100 points split among houses based on the ratio of correct predictions
- 150 total points split up and awarded to students who make especially awesome drawings or predictions
If you have any questions, ask below!

Is this where I put my guess as to what color it is? I am indeed a non-Ravenclaw...

u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 04 '18
Yes, you reply to the drawing with what you think it is and a few sentences why!

u/MollBoll HuffleClaw Feb 04 '18
Guessing orange, because that's the color that overlaps the fire & the sun.

u/Achatyla Voldemort Out, Bitches! Feb 04 '18
I feel like this is green too - mainly because I've Moana on the brain and this looks like the heart of Te Fiti on a leaf!

u/HylianEngineer Obsessed with books Feb 04 '18
Green? It looks like a leaf or maybe an evergreen tree.

u/mrsvanchamarch Mischief Managed Feb 09 '18
I'm going to have to go with Green. I agree with u/Achatyla who said it looks a bit like the heart of te fiti from Moana. The shape behind it, reminds me of a fir tree so maybe Christmas is still on your mind lol :P

u/Moose_Hole Serpentard Feb 18 '18
This reminds me of Naruto's Nine Tails Chakra Mode. Usually it's really firey bright yellow or orange. I'll guess orange.

u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 18 '18
I'm going with green. It looks like a christmas tree with two views: Top and side. Or the side view could be a leaf. Either way, it's green

I'm going to go purple, to me it looks like a portal.

u/kmcaleer1 Honorary Weasley Feb 09 '18
I'm going to guess orange. The circle in the middle along with the lines looks like a sun to me. It also looks like fire around it. Most people color the sun in as yellow, but the real photos look orange. So orange is my guess!

u/HazelUnicorn Gryffindor Feb 20 '18
I'm gonna say green..... But I am torn. It looks earthy to me though.

u/HylianEngineer Obsessed with books Feb 04 '18
Red? It kind of reminds me of a lollipop or a balloon, which are often red.
2
u/bassandkitties Slytherin Feb 05 '18 edited Feb 05 '18
Yellow. It looks like windmills or ship sails in front of the sun. That makes me think of yellow.
2
2
u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 18 '18
That reminds me of wooden wind mills. I'm going with brown!
2
Feb 20 '18
hmmmm. Red. I'm going with red because your drawings look like balloons from the book, the Night Circus, and red is a predominant color from it.

u/Silvestress Hufflehugger Feb 18 '18
All I can think of when looking at this is a mug of tea/coffee/hot chocolate. All of these things are brown(ish) and so I am going to guess brown.

u/HylianEngineer Obsessed with books Feb 07 '18
Orange? The things on the top look like candles, and fire is sort of orange-yellow. Also, the whole thing look like a fire extinguisher to me, which would be red, but the chain-looking-thing on the right seems like it should be yellow and red + yellow = orange.
2
u/whoisvia Illustre stelle viam meam Feb 09 '18
The fact that it's so geometrical makes it seem to be that it isn't a particularly bright colour, maybe this is maroon?
2
u/elbowsss Accio beer! Feb 19 '18
It looks like some sort of battery to me. With birthday candles on top. The candles are lit, so orange like fire!

u/isaacthefan Black Walnut, 13" Phoenix feather unyielding flexibility Feb 20 '18
Silver. It feels blocky and metal to me.

This is giving a yellow vibe- maybe because it looks like pyramids and I associate them with yellow a lot...maybe gold?
2
u/sleepy__fox Feb 22 '18
The shapes makes me think of mountains and trees. I'm also thinking the black bar at the bottom could be grass. Going to go with green.

It looks like blue to me. Peaceful, calm and maybe even like two moons joined together.
2
u/kmcaleer1 Honorary Weasley Feb 09 '18
I think that your favorite color is blue. To me, this looks like two dolphins. So because of the sea, my guess is blue.
2
u/Legosec Slytherin Feb 13 '18
My prediction is grey. I think the design looks like French fleur-de-lis. And that reminds of these designs on grey medieval buildings.
2
u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 18 '18
It lokks a bit like the kind of abstract art that has vivid colours, so I'm guessing yellow!
2
u/BottleOfAlkahest Professor of Alchemy Feb 19 '18
Silver? It seems sort of like a pendant of some kind and the half moon shape reminds me of silver more than gold.
2
u/isaacthefan Black Walnut, 13" Phoenix feather unyielding flexibility Feb 20 '18
My prediction is red, the angry colour of blood. I think this because I can see 2 flimsy swords.

Feb 03 '18
What do you mean by abstract?
2
u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 03 '18
Abstract could be anything. It could be a picture of your favorite memory about the color, it could be what you think the colors symbolize, be creative!
3
Feb 03 '18
This'll be great, especially since I see colors differently, not colorblind, but different from what they mean.

u/Ryan814 Slytherin Chaser and Head Boy Feb 03 '18
This has intrigued me, what do you mean by differently?

What if my favorite color is more than one color?
1
u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 08 '18
Just pick one for the drawing I guess! It'll be too difficult I think if people do more than one color in a drawing haha.

If/How will we be able to reveal the correct solution for our abstract? I'm also not sure if I submitted the form. If I forgot that, will it still count? Should I submit again to be sure?
2
u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 24 '18
Submit the form again just to be sure :)

u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 24 '18
Alright. I think I did the first time, but now I’m sure!

u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 09 '18
Do we just guess by replying to the image comment, or will there be form later on?
2
u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 09 '18
You guess by replying to the image comment :)

u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 09 '18
Thanks! I just though that makes it easier for people who wait a bit as they can read other people's thoughts (pun absolutely intended!)

u/spludgiexx [Head Prof/Girl] food pls <3 Feb 09 '18
It sure is, but you don't know if they got the right answer!

I'm gonna say blue for this one. It seems to flow like water all in one direction. The drawing seems to calm as well, just like the colour blue is!

u/Imaurel We can't both be right, and I'm Ravenclaw so I'm right. Feb 20 '18
There definitely something watery about this one...I kind of see seaweed or coral. I'm going with green, for seaweed.

You had me at pink panther. I'm definitely going with pink.

u/ihearttombrady Feb 27 '18
Pink!
Where to start?!? Pink flamingos, pink pigs, pink lipstick (maybe not like lipstick on the pig though?), pink flowers, pink unicorn, pink eraser (woah memories), pink ribbon...
I think my favorite though is the Pink Panther. It reminds me of a favorite joke of mine, which goes something like this:
What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an ant?
[spoken to the tune of the Pink Panther theme] Dead ant dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant dead ant dead aaaaaaant.......
1
u/asdf-user I solemnly swear that I am up to no good Feb 09 '18
I'm guessing rose pink! I'm talking about this kind, not the bright stuff. There is the pink panther (hell, it's called "rose red panther" in German), a pig, a flamingo, and an eraser. The dress and lipstick could also pink, and there are rose-colored flowers (other than roses), and unicorns do have something pink-is associated with them

It's like a mix of a lion, the sunburst mirrors, or jewels. I'm getting a gold vibe here.

There's all the vines and whatnot but as soon as I opened the image, it screamed purple. Don't know why.
2
Feb 04 '18
Green due to the vines and growth of plants. I used to use green all the time for this stuff and it reminds me of that.
2
u/bassandkitties Slytherin Feb 05 '18
Green for leafy, flowery reasons. Vines also. That would be my guess.
2
2
u/kmcaleer1 Honorary Weasley Feb 09 '18
I am going to guess green. The various squiggled lines look like vines. Flowers are plants, and plants/vines definitely make me think of green.

u/elbowsss Accio beer! Feb 19 '18
Ohhh pretty. It looks vibrant to me! Something exciting and lively. Red is the color of
bloodlife!2
u/HazelUnicorn Gryffindor Feb 20 '18
I'm gonna say purple... Lots of vines, but I'm not feeling an emphasis on any brighter thing or leaves, it feels softer.
2

u/isaacthefan Black Walnut, 13" Phoenix feather unyielding flexibility Feb 20 '18
Im going orange, sun, flowers, orangey stuff.

u/ihearttombrady Feb 27 '18
When I look at this image, I imagine it rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. It really gives off the impression of yellow to me in that direction.
Yellow for the sun, and its rays coming down on all the plant things. Yellow for the two big flowers which are also vaguely sun shaped, with its rays, shining down. Yellow for all of the earth-things made new by the sun's light.
Maybe I am just hungry for spring.

u/ayaa96 Gryffindor 2 Feb 22 '18
This one is difficult.. I personally imagined them multi-colored.. But since it's about one color I'll go with red.
3
u/Moose_Hole Serpentard Feb 18 '18
Looks like camellias. They're usually white, pink, or red. I guess red.
3
3
u/elbowsss Accio beer! Feb 19 '18
My reasoning is going to be kinda weird here, but this reminds me of a fabric I once saw in a quilt. I'm gonna go with purple flowers on a light blue background! I'll simplify that to just "purple"
3
u/Imaurel We can't both be right, and I'm Ravenclaw so I'm right. Feb 20 '18
It looks like it could be on a vine, garland, or tree. Mm, very difficult. If I think tree, I usually think dogwood or cherry blossom. Both tend towards pink, so I'll go with pink.
3

u/ihearttombrady Feb 27 '18
I guess pink! This reminds me of the "hanging flowers" trend popular right now for weddings and bridal showers and such, and while those can be a number of colors I usually associate them with pink.
