13 Favorite Harry Potter Characters:

1: Luna Scamander, nee Lovegood. My all time favorite. I Love her because she reminds me what it means to be free, and how I should always try to act.

2: Seamus Finnigan. Ah, my deep love for Irish boys. Enough said.

3: Charlie Weasley. He tames dragons. Well, as much as it is possible to tame a dragon. If that isn’t reason enough to love him, I don’t know what is.

4: Nymphadora Lupin, nee Tonks. Tonks is fun, and energetic, and determined. She’s got her flaws, but they aren’t bad ones, and everybody has some.

5: Angelina Weasley, nee Johnson. Angelina’s powerful personality and ability to channel Oliver Wood has made her a definite kind of person. Her marriage to a Weasley twin shows that she has an admirable sense of fun, as well, and that is a quality to be respected.

6: Oliver Wood himself. Unbearably gorgeous, with a really great accent and superior keeping skills, Oliver Wood is a wonderful character, who is shamefully ignored by the majority of Harry Potter fans, except for those who stick him with Percy Weasley for some unknowable reason.

7: Ginny Potter, nee Weasley. She was a little wibbly at first, but she became quite strong character in her own right later own, with qualities reminiscent of Fred, George, and Lily Potter, nee Evans.

8: Narcissa Malfoy, nee Black. Most people hate her, of course, for being a Death Eater, but I found the way she was willing to give up everything she had worked and suffered for just to find her son a really noble thing to do, and wonder if maybe she has some Gryffindorian tendencies.

9: Draco Malfoy. Aforementioned son. He is a wimp, and a bully, and a muggle-hater, but he is also a scared little boy with too many responsibilities thrust upon his unwilling shoulders. Plus, hot and blonde.

10: Fred Weasley. He is the one with the best lines, so I prefer him to George. This was undoubtedly a cunning move by the author to make us cry harder.

11: Barty Crouch Jr. as Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody. His portrayal of Moody is, in my personal opinion, even better than Moody’s portrayal of himself. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

12: Fleur Weasley, nee Delacour. Fleur has always been great. She is beautiful, devoted to her husband, and obviously a great witch, as she was chosen to represent Beauxbatons in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Everyone wants to be Fleur, unless they are Ginny.

13: Albus Dumbledore. Last but never least, the great Albus Dumbledore. Quotes by him may be found at the left-hand side of my blog. He is an example to us all.


AND, as a bonus, Aberforth Dumbledore. “People never do seem to count Aberforth.”

Fred-and-George are one character to me and top my personal list.

And Peeves is on there.
