Rules:

No shipping(advertising how cute ______ and ______ would be together). Same goes for bashing a ship, whether it's Harmony, Chocolate, Heron, Lunaville...

Don't insult a character you don't like... someone else may like them.
____________________________

Mine's Hermione...

Hermione, to me, is a good character to symbolize someone overcoming the self. When she began, she was a shrimpy, mousy little girl who shut everyone out because she couldn't live up to her own unrealistic standards. After Harry and Ron saved her from the troll, it seemed that she lightened up a bit, having people who could accept her. It probably saved her life...

As the books progress, Hermione evolves from the obviously hurting individual she was in book one to the confident, respected, even sometimes funny young woman who was already dedicating her lives to others represented in book six. Not only is her evolution itself so impressive, but the path she takes to achieve it is actually quite interesting.

Adult HP fans tell me that they were often seeing me when they read Hermione, which I take as a compliment. Ones that knew me growing up say that they remember me handling many of her struggles that were relevant to real life when they read how she overcame them. I don't see a whole lot of it, but I do relate to a lot of what she went through- although I do think she handled it all a LOT more gracefully, lol.

I have a few favourites.

First off-
Ron Weasley. I can very closely relate to this character personally (except the fear of spiders, I love'em). I love when he is trying to be serious. He is a very loyal person, kind of like a dog to it's master. He'd even risk his life for the ones he loves.

Secondly-
Remus Lupin. He is a very wise and a strong wizard. He is well expirenced and trusting, and behind that is a terrified little boy (to me anyways). I found this came out especially in Book 6.

Thirdly- SPOILERS
Severus Snape. Aside from me loving his name, Severus, I still believe he is good. Aside from others thoughts, I believe he was on Dumbledore's orders to do what he did, and if I am right, he is very brave. I think Dumbledore was the only person Snape trusted, and for that he had to carry out his mission. Which is sad.

And Lastly-
Sirius Black. Much a reason as Ron Weasley, he is very loyal to James and Remus.

I'm also a fan of Dobby the House Elf.. Sir.

I like Voldemort. I just like villians.

My absolute favorite is Severus Snape. I still think he's a good guy. I'm not sure why I started liking him in the first place. Probably his sarcasm and dark personality. I dunno. My second favorite is Remus Lupin. He's just so spiffy. My third favorite would have to be Hagrid. He's so huge and massive, but he breaks down and cries over things. I love that.

I also love poor, drunken Winky.

Ok, first off: what the hell is all the "shipping" talk? What does that mean? I'm assuming it has something to do with hooking up/dating, but I keep seeing that term and am lost.

And Sirius is my favorite character. crying.gif *sniff*
BurnSide
AND what is all this silly 'Lunaville' 'Heron' etc etc?
Talk normally. tongue.gif



Tom Marvolo Riddle interests me the most. I was delighted to learn so much about him during book 6.

It's pathetic but Sirius holds a special place in my heart. crying.gif

I also have a growing fondess for Voldemort. Simply after hearing Ralph Fiennes will be playing him.

Tonks is pretty awesome too.

Shipping is when someone's preaching who should be dating who... it's kind of a nasty slang, but I like it.

Shipping runs in the following main classes:

Harmony: Harry/Hermione
Heron: Ron/Hermione
Chocolate: Harry/Ginny
Lunaville: Neville/Luna

Other classes include:

Halympe: Hagrid/Olympe
Dramione: Draco/Hermione
Drinner: Draco/Ginny
Doco: Dumbledore/McGonical

If more than 10 people liked the idea, it has some stupid-ass nickname, which sadly enough, I know most of them.

And of course, there's slash, which no one gave an annoying nickname to because they're just obscene sexual fantasies, such as:

Any gay/lesbian student relationship
Harry with his Mother, Father, Tonks, Sirius, Remus, Dumbledore or Voldemort
Weasley incest
Teachers "fraternizing" with students
Hermione/Ginny/Luna/Cho with a Giant/Centaur/animal/Inferi/etc...
Dudley being molested
YOU GET THE IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Remus Lupin the most as he is a werewolf and yea i love werewolfs. And i also like Sirius Black as he can turn to a dog which is pretty cool happy.gif
Red-eye Dragoon
Tom Marvolo Riddle interests me alot aswell, I was hopping JKR would write a spinoff book about him, but shes covered his past in enough detail, so theres no need for that.

As for my favourite character it would have to be Sirius. He was a pretty good wizard, he was loyal, and couragous. He even risked his life to save Harry. Also he was the black sheep in his family, which helps me relate to him a bit.

Why did he have to die? crying.gif

So wrong.

*smacks forehead* I forgot to mention my love for Mad-Eye Moody! I mean, I did get part of my user name from the guy. My friends started it. We're both paranoid and like to yell constant vigilance at random moments. I love Mad-Eye.

Number 1 spot goes to Sirius Black, followed (extremely) closely by Hagrid.

Feenix's Favorites:

Fred/George:They are SOOOO funny1 laugh.gif

Dumbledore:The guy is so awesome and such a cutie original.gif

Sirius:*sighs....Broke my heart to see him(and dumbledore) go. I got so attached to his character. I think it was his imprisonment and lonliness that attracted me to him. wub.gif

Yay! Another Hermione! I was starting to think I was the only one on this site... wink2.gif

Put me down for Fred and George, as well... they're funny, even though some of their jokes were kinda mean in book 6. Then again, that might be a "we're all that!" attitude from being that successful so young talking. I know some rich kids who were given their own stores or trust funds that allowed them to become a co-owner of one get that way... some of them were really good friends, and now if I see them in the mall, I duck into the nearest store and hope they didn't see me because I don't want to deal with the attitude problem they have now. God bless Gred and Forge for keeping themselves real thumbsup.gif .

Actually, I like all the characters, except for Ron... but I'd be breaking my own rule to explain why, because I can't explain without just bashing him.
