Favourite Character in HBP...(New or Old)

Who do you like best and who could you definately live without? Will there be romance in the air for any of them and who will end up with who?

Moderators: Mistress Siana, Q.Araignee, Scarlet Lioness

I suppose that everyone has the right to like whoever they want to. And everyone sees the characters differently. I like Ginny, but many of the "good characters" are rarely described as well as the evil ones and what I like more, are characters that are "grey" - it doesn't really matter to me whether someone in the book is evil or good as far as he's well characterised, if he or she's intelligent, cunning and it's simply a delight to read about them.

Sure, bullying little children is a hobby of mine, just like kicking puppies, very relaxing if you've had a busy day. Or perhaps I'm just able to tell the difference between a person and a fictional character. You know, if I like reading about Voldemort it doesn't mean I'd want a candle light dinner with him. Imagine that!

I've certainly enjoyed reading more about Tom Riddle. It's a rare thing to get the big baddy's motivation, let alone see him as an eleven-year-old boy. I was truly amazed when, in CoS, even Harry fell for his charm and was prepared to judge Hagrid based on his words...until he found out who he was. The 'greyness' of her characters is generally what I like about JKR's work.

I agree with Siana in some respects - it is more interesting to read about LV and Snape because they're not featured enough in the books. That just results in natural curiosity.

OMG!!!!!!!

How could I forget Hagrid?

He's like a giant teddy bear that can do a lot of damage when angry.
:grin:

Ginny's also a good character.
