If you haven't read Philip Pulman's His Dark Materials, Book 1: The Golden Compass, you should. Once you've done that, then you can safely go see the movie - much like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, there is little chance the movie will do real justice to the books in this series, although I do expect it to be a great show nonetheless.

For those who have read the book or saw the movie already, you can take a quiz at the official movie web site to have your dæmon determined. Then you can ask others to help refine it as, like a child's dæmon, it is flexible in form for a short period of time (12 days from creation).

My dæmon is named Sergius and his initial form is a Tiger. This represents someone who is modest, assertive, competitive, outgoing and sociable.

If you would like to help me refine Sergius' form go to this mini-quiz before Dec. 24th, 2007.
