Cristina Spizzica

House: Ravenclaw

Patronus: Lynx

Wand: Fir wood with a phoenix feather core, 10" and hard flexibility

Favourite character: Hermione Granger

​

While she spends a large portion of her life at her day job as a marketing manager, Cristina's preferred way to pass the time is making things up on a stage instead of in a boardroom (people clap a little more frequently and there are more inspired sound and lighting options).

She has been a member of The Improv Conspiracy Theatre's ensemble since 2017, where she performs regularly in their flagship shows Harold Night and F#*k This, I Quit!, and also frequently performs with her improv rap duo RHYMEZONE - they improvise hip-hop musicals and have taken the show to Melbourne Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Despite having always considered herself a bit of a Hermione and relating more to Moaning Myrtle's inability to let things go than she cares to admit, the thing Cristina relates most to in the collective cultural knowledge of the Harry Potter universe is Daniel Radcliffe finding out he got the role of Harry and being allowed to stay up to watch Fawlty Towers as a reward.

Her spiciest Harry Potter take is that nothing in the books would have changed if Grawp were removed. Discuss.
