Harry Potter
You are most like Harry Potter. Courage, loyalty and bravery are your main aspects. You are kind of on the “Wild-Side” and occasionally break the rules. You are somewhat underestimated. You can sometimes get bossy, but your friends stick by you no matter what and you can always count on them.

Penalties Ahead

The new rule adopted by the Department of Transportation sets fines of as much as $27,500 a passenger when airlines leave fliers stuck on a plane on the ground for more than three hours. Based on a delayed plane carrying 120 passengers, the fine could be as much as $3.3 million.
