I have never voted for Animagus. I think mostly it's laziness on my part, but I do find it a bit intimidating. I don’t even sort every week anymore. Sometimes it's due to time constraints, sometimes it's laziness and sometimes I simply forget. I've been having major computer issues this year too, which hasn't helped.

On the whole though, it frightens me. Like the introduction to this discussion says, there is just so much to choose from. I'm new to the whole Harry Potter thing, and I'm still trying to find my footing around HiH, despite being here for at least six months now, so getting to grips with that makes the prospect of diving right in a little daunting.

There's just so much to consider; are there certain animals for certain houses? Can each animal be used more than once? For example, can there be two wolves? (That sounds so lame and far too simplistic). Would I need to sign a roster, or have submitted an application myself to vote? How do I submit an application? I'm sure all of this is explained somewhere, but it's just all way above my head.

Also, when I applied to join HiH, I got a few requests to lengthen my application. I’m not good with words, I never really have been. It’s like if someone gives me a limit, I really struggle to reach it, so I think having to provide detailed reasons for each application would be a real task, so that frightens me off too.

I think that I would like to try it, but I don’t want to get into it just to find that I can't really do it.
