my favorite female character

I really always loved Luna. While at first Hermione was my favourite (bookworm, sort of a know-it-all and therefore not overly liked, had a hard time making friends), Luna resonated more with me. I feel for her because everyone writes her off without giving her the time of day. I also admire her because she doesn't let narrow-minded people get her down.

my favorite male character

Do I even need to say anything? No one in HP gives me more feels than Neville Longbottom. No one.

my favorite book/season/etc

Prisoner of Azkaban was always my favourite book... the movies were all a bit samey for me, so I don't really have a preference?

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

my favorite cast member

I didn't really follow the cast like a lot of the fandom did? They're all pretty cool, but James and Oliver Phelps seem pretty funny so

my favorite ship

LOL I was always more of a gen person

... yeah okay I shipped Drarry when I was 14 you caught me (with added Hermione because I can't have just OTPs when there are OT3s apparently)

a character I’d die defending

Not a character in general but motherfucking SLYTHERIN HOUSE. People who've only seen the movies I can sort of forgive for thinking that Slytherin is the "evil house" and they should just kill off everyone sorted into it (which, wow. People suggesting slaughter of fictional 11 year olds think they'd be sorted into Gryffindor? I got news for you son.) But people who've read the books and saw the "no, Harry, house doesn't determine how you turn out," and know that some Slytherins stayed behind to defend Hogwarts with their classmates? Were actually given the option in the books? Who know that one of the worst villains in the books was a fucking Gryffindor and one of the shadiest douchebags was a Ravenclaw and yet continue to say shit about how Slytherin is the evil house of evil need to learn to read and gtfo.

a character I just can’t sympathize with

There are several. Voldemort. Lucius Malfoy. Bellatrix Lestrange. A good chunk of Death Eaters and Pure Bloods (and Half-Bloods) who followed Voldemort not because they felt threatened or scared but because they thought he was totally sane and wasn't completely full of shit. And of course, the worst of the worst of the actual very worst: Dolores centaurfucking Umbridge. She is totally beyond redemption I can't even.

a character I grew to love

He started off as a sort of tactless comic relief sidekick but we all fucking know the Golden Trio would be crippled if they lost one of the three. Ron is important, and has strengths and weaknesses and flaws like any well-rounded character should. His negative traits are all traits I have so I can't fault them. His positive traits are all traits I lack, so I wish I was as awesome, loyal, brave, selfless and smart as Ron Weasley is.
