I love on this thread pretty hard, I have to say. Fun concept...lemme have a go.
Dolores Umbridge - sorry, you're all wrong. She's a stickler for rules, so RWS clones are her bag. When she reads for herself (well, when she spies on everyone else), she uses the
Baroque Bohemian Cats (my sympathies, greggers) and they talk to her and whisper-meow all the gossip to her. She's particular friends with the 2 of Swords who she's always trying to corrupt, and criticises her for her dress being yellow (of course she has the first edition, and of course the dress should be pink!). When she reads for others, she uses the
Hanson-Roberts, whose Pollyanna-sweetness masking spiteful truths, easily misconstrued, complements Umbridge's own manipulative manner.
Moaning Myrtle - oh, how she loves to wallow in her sweet sadness! How she revels in the dusk of her tragically foreshortened life, inflicting the bittersweet scent of the dark lands on those still living! What deck could be better than the
Tarot of the Sweet Twilight for her?
Sirius Black - the cosmopolitan, devastatingly handsome and slightly foppish rogue loves to dance on the edge of madness, and quietl delights in shocking those around him. Of course, he uses the
Book of Kaos Tarot for his readings, which are loud, fast, and barely comprehensible.
Minerva MacGonagall - thoroughly respectable but with a tightly-wound sensual and rebellious streak, the Professor enjoys some quiet time with her
Victorian Romantic Gold.
Alastor Moody - he likes to keep you off balance,and he also loves the insight he gets from a collaborative deck. The readings he gives with the
78 Tarot are unsettling and take the form of horrible warnings.
Luna Lovegood - I can see her having several decks, for her whimsical moods. One of them is a beautifully trimmed and diminutive
Tarot of a Moon Garden, which she uses when she's sad. When she's happy or reading for someone else, she uses the
Merryday Tarot. However, I have to say this is astonishingly apt:
Shade said:
Luna Lovegood has a copy of the counterculture Tarot that she occasionally adds cards from other decks into.
nice call.
Gilderoy Lockheart - he loves his
Initiatory Tarots of the Golden Dawn. All those cartoon-beautiful people.
