Harry Potter magic is the right brand of sorcery for you. You’re sociable, capable, and self-assured. Conjure up a Butterbeer to celebrate.

Mostly Bs: Disney

Stick with Disney magic, princess. It might be a little while before you dare to tamper with the darker arts.

Mostly Cs: Twilight

For shame. Looks like you’re stuck with Twilight magic. Have fun with that. For shame.

Mostly Ds: True Blood

Hey, you’re kinda badass. True Blood magic is the supernatural stuff for you.

Mostly Es: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

You’re snarky. You’re spunky. You’re capable of handling Buffyverse magic just as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself. Nothing magical — no matter how weird or how ancient — scares you! Run along and save the world — a lot.
