Meet Your Daemon
[from Fantasy Book Critic. ~Ed.]
If you haven’t heard yet, New Line Cinema is releasing The Golden Compass starring Nicole Kidman & Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) on December 7, 2007. The film is based on the first book in the great YA trilogy His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. Anyways, if you go to the website HERE, they have an interesting feature where you can ‘meet your daemon’. Basically, you answer 20 questions and then the feature creates the daemon that best matches your personality.
Apparently I’m ‘spontaneous, modest, solitary, shy & humble’, so my daemon is a Hare named ‘Valthera’, one of 2113 hare daemons. Not exactly accurate, but after the website determines your daemon, it gives you an option where you can either send your daemon for friends to verify its accuracy, or you can save it as is. Once saved, you’ll get an email and code where you can embed your daemon on your Myspace page or blog. You can also download it as wallpaper, an AIM icon or to your Ipod or PSP. Overall, pretty cool, so if you have the time, I’d check it out. Also, if you haven’t read His Dark Materials, then I highly suggest that you remedy that problem.
