(heehee) And to answer a question posted somewhere above: YES! THE BOOKS ARE BETTER!--SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!<br /><br />And to pose a question of my own: Did anyone else think Crookshanks was going to turn out to be Regulus Black (as an animagous) before book 7? It made sense to me (chased the Rat, Pettigrew, etc.) And speaking of Pettigrew -- I just love how JKR says so much with her character name choices!Serena Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814202631561534588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-33263212837294928422011-08-16T08:37:22.720-04:002011-08-16T08:37:22.720-04:00Luna!

I'd probably ponder my top ten favourite HP characters forever and still not be able to come up with a sufficient answer.<br /><br />I love your list though! And I love how all of the characters on this list, and indeed the entire series, are so well developed and complex. I love how Jo leads us readers to believe certain things about a character (like James or Dumbledore or Snape) only to throw us for a loop as she reveals a certain aspect from their pasts that completely changes the way you feel about them!<br /><br />I love that you put bad guys on your list too. Jo knows how to write some good baddies. For that reason, I think if I did have a list, Umbridge would make it onto mine. If it's possible, I think I hated her even more than Bellatrix and Voldemort! At least they weren't acting under the guise of goodness which is what I found so absolutely frustrating about Umbridge.<br /><br />Shout out to cooky characters! Neville with his nimbulus mimbletonia, Luna with her Spectrespecs, and Trelawney with her sherry bottles. Love them all!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-235575956823303552011-08-16T01:03:51.821-04:002011-08-16T01:03:51.821-04:00I still need to read the books.
