Series Ranking: 7, 1, 4, 3, 2, 5, 6

Fav character: Neville Longbottom for being the hero we and his grandmother all knew he could be. For fighting evil with Herbology and bravery. For rallying by the troops in Harry’s honor and holding down the school grounds in the meantime.

Fav side character: Dobby. RIP. Idc what yall say. He did so much for Harry and died a hero also. Here lies Dobby, a free elf.

Least fav character: Fenrir Greyback for being a gross POS

Favorite Character
Hermione - As I think back on the franchise and how everyone is constantly blowing off hermione as a know-it-all.... is there many times where she is wrong?

Hermione puts her knowledge to use in this book and stays the most loyal friend that Harry ever has. She is prepared to give up her entire life to fight by his side. To go to terrifying places like Godrics Hollow where there is bound to be trouble. To impersonate one of the dark lords most loyal servant in hopes of finding something to weaken voldemort. Her caring for many creatures who are looked on as servants and lower being has rubbed off on Harry and that leads to my favorite side character...

Fav Side
Kreacher - Going into this book I thought Kreacher was like... fully going to be owned by the dark lord and the death eaters. That he would a force for evil. Instead we learn of his tragic story of how he just wanted to help please his masters in the black family, doing things he didn't want to do and ending up losing them all along the way.

Least Favorite
Umbridge - This awful toad woman. I think she sets a special spark in me with hatred reflecting todays political climate. She is supposed to be a figure head in the place that makes wizard laws, rules, and regulations. She treats non-pure bloods as inferior beings and threaten to punish them when azkaban and dementors after gleefully tourting them in a rigged trial. The "law" she is upholding is a sham and the centaurs in the forbidden forest should have never let her see life outside of the woods ever again.


Favorite Chapter Art - Seven Harry Potters. Its such a funny concept and I liked looking to see If i could tell which illustration belonged to a certain character or not.

Series Rankings (Best to Worst)

1. Goblet of Fire
2. Order of the Phoenix
3. Deathly Hollows
4. Sorcerers Stone
5. Chamber of Secrets
6. Half Blood Prince
7. Prisoner of Azkaban

Favorite Character: Hermione. Overall, she was the best character in the series and I thought she really shined in this final installment. She was so loyal to Harry, that she wiped her parents memory and refused to leave his side when Ron took off.

Least Favorite Character: Xenophilius Lovegood. Just a weird guy and a traitor. Turned in Harry and his friends after pretending to be their biggest supporter for half the novel. I’m glad he was only on the last book!

Favorite Side Character: Kreacher. He was not a character I enjoyed in other novels but he had a great redemption arc and became a very sympathetic character by the end of the series.

Fave character- Ron
