Who do you love the best?

I'm getting EXCITED for the Character Love fest. So tell me, which characters do you want to see getting lots of love? Anyone will be able to start a thread for whatever characters they like, once the fest is going, but I want to start some off, as well, to give people ideas, and to get the love juices flowing.

Please comment with who you'd most like to see a thread for at the Love Fest - this doesn't commit you to posting anything on that thread, of course. Maybe give me your top 5. Hmm, tricky, isn't it? You can choose any character, from any era - as long as they appear somewhere in the Harry Potter series, they qualify to receive love. They don't even have to be human. O_o And remember Death Eaters need love, too (especially pointy ones).

I can't wait for the fest to start!
Top five you say? Okay:
Luna
Pansy
Narcissa
Draco
Ron

[birdsofshore]

Ooh, good choices! No Harry? Were you assuming someone else would pick him? That's a dangerous game :DDD (but probably quite fair in this case)

excluding Harry and Draco as they're a given...

[eidheann_writes]

Luna and Xenophilius (god.. I always spell that wrong and it always always looks wrong)
Narcissa
Hermione
Neville

Re: excluding Harry and Draco as they're a given...

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

Neville!!! Yes, please!

[capitu]

Only 5? THIS IS SO HARD. :P

Harry
Draco
Ron
Albus Severus
Sirius


omg. all Men. :OOOOO

[birdsofshore]

YES, ONLY 5. SO MEAN.

Niiiiice choices. I can see where YOUR mind is going, tut tut ;-)

[capitu]

Now I'm going to lurk hoping someone says Lucius. And Teddy. And Charlie

OMG. More men. lol

And I suck at picking 5. ^^

[birdsofshore]

Don't worry, I'll do Lucius. I mean, I'll have him. I mean, OH GOD LUCIUS, JUST RAVISH ME NOW

[playing-perfect.livejournal.com]

Well first the pointy Death Eater obviously, because... he's pretty damn perfect, lol
I'm sure Harry needs extra love for all the shit he went through
Ron, because a number of fics recently have converted me to him
Neville because I always think he's underrated
Pansy, because fandom has made me love her

[birdsofshore]

YES HARRY YES YES YES
I was worried no-one was going to pick Harry there for a minute!

Your choices receive a big thumbs up from me.

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

This is tricky! I'm trying to think of characters who are maybe under-loved. Noncommittally, I say:
Hermione
Ginny
Professor MacGonagall
Seamus
Aberforth

[birdsofshore]

YES I wanted McGonagall.
Ginny, controversial choice there! I'm happy she's in.
No list would be complete without Hermione.
And your other two choices are v-e-r-y interesting.... *strokes beard*

[tamlane.livejournal.com]

ALL THE WEASLEYS!!!

But especially Charlie. :D

[birdsofshore]

THERE ARE MORE THAN FIVE WEASLEYS, TAM.
Choose. You have to choose. no picking Charlie 5 times

[birdsofshore]

I'm going to have a turn myself.

Harry
Draco
Snape
Lucius
aaaaaaaaaand SURPRISE WILD CARD Lavender

aaargh and Ron.
SIX CHOICES. Everyone is allowed SIX CHOICES :D

[playing-perfect.livejournal.com]

That's just a little tiny bit of cheating there, but since you picked Lavender who would have been my sixth, ok then :-D

[firethesound]

Ginny
Hermione
Ron
Neville
Teddy Lupin

So hard to pick just five! XD

[birdsofshore]

NOBODY IS PICKING SNAPE.
I will have to love Snape all on my own. I bet we'll have a great time.

I think Teddy will be a popular choice.

[kedavranox.livejournal.com]

Well seeing as he's just been shat on by fandom/JKR

RON BADASSMOTHERFUCKINGSMARTASFUCK WEASLEY

Severus
McGonagall
Hermione
MOLLY

*edited because I can't count.

[birdsofshore]

*cheers for Ron*
I think Ron will be getting an EXTRA super-duper helping of love.

Molly is a cool choice. I'm hoping you might have time to write something tiny or maybe not so tiny for the fest, hmm?

[meglw0228.livejournal.com]

This is interesting seeing everyone's choices! It's also interesting to see the ones left out!

For mine I'm going with one who haven't been listed...or Harry and Draco would be first and second:

Scorpius Malfoy
Hedwig
Remus Lupin
Teddy Lupin
Daphne Greengrass

[birdsofshore]

I was just going to cheat and give myself a seventh choice to say Remus! Yay!

And ((((Hedwig))))

and Scorpius!

Excellent choices!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Draco
Snape
Albus Severus
Scorpius
REGULUS ♥

[birdsofshore]

Ah, Regulus! What a corking little quintet you have chosen there, my dear!

[gamma-x-orionis.livejournal.com]

-Bellatrix (naturally)
-Voldemort
-Luna
-Rodolphus and/or Rabastan (hahaha yeah right like anyone would post anything for them)
-Lavender, Cho, and/or Fleur (because they actually need more love because everyone hates them :'( )

[birdsofshore]

I said Lavender! And I'd love to see Cho and Fleur, yes!

I love your list; I was actually hoping you'd come and play :D

[mab.livejournal.com]

Lee Jordan
Tonks
Kingsley
Dobby
Professor Sprout

[birdsofshore]

<3
STRANGE AND WONDROUS CHOICES

[sophie-french.livejournal.com]

Draco
Harry
Blaise
Lucius
Sirius

[birdsofshore]

Ooh, what a bunch of bad boys <3

[indyonblue.livejournal.com]

Ok, my top 5 would be:

Pansy - because fanon!Pansy is awesome
Luna - because who doesn't love Luna?
Ginny - because she deserves better than she got in the books
Sirius - just because!
Molly & Arthur - I know I'm cheating but they do just naturally go together

I would like to see the giant squid on someone's list :D

[birdsofshore]

Molly and Arthur, yay! We'll overlook the cheating :D

Lots of fab women on your list, good work.

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Hmm.. Tricky!
I'm gonna go for:
- Harry of course because I love Harry
- Luna because she's awesome
- Fred and George (I can count them as one, can't I?)
- Scorpius
- Remus Lupin, because I didn't see him here and he gives chocolates to everyone :)

[birdsofshore]

Hee, I think Fred and George can count as one for the purposes of fitting them on your list :D

I am glad to see Lupin popping up on people's lists. He's a big favourite of mine.

Luna deserves all the love! I'm sure she's going to get it, too!

[torino10154]

Well, five is rather difficult, isn't it? But I'll say....

Severus
Harry
Draco

and then to round it out

Neville
Albus Severus

[birdsofshore]

The delicious testosterone on your list is making me weak at the knees :DD

[zeitgeistic.livejournal.com]

Hermione
Harry
Luna
Pansy
HEDWIG

[birdsofshore]

I APPROVE. I would particularly love it if somebody did Hedwig ART.

[khalulu]

Am I the first to say Hagrid? Hey, who came and rescued Harry from the Dursleys? And brought baby Harry safely on a flying motorcycle? Who loves all the creatures who don't get loved elsewhere?

OK, Hagrid!

And Luna I love forever.

Harry

Snape

Neville McGonagall Hedwig Crookshanks…. umm...

[birdsofshore]

Yes, Hagrid <3 You are the first. I would be very happy to see Hagrid get all the love he deserves.

[raitala.livejournal.com]

Hmmm ...

Draco
Lucius
Narcissa
Scorpius
Blaise

I did consider Slughorn too. There is something appealingly outrageous about a man setting up a club under his own name into which he collects all the most talented witches and wizards he comes across :)

[birdsofshore]

LOL at the Malfoycentricity. I'm surprised you didn't put Abraxas in, just to make up your quintet.

I do like Slughorn. He has a wonderful touch of the grotesque but is still terribly human.

[kitty_fic]

Not including Harry and Draco BECAUSE Obviously ;D

Albus Severus
Scorpius
James Sirius
Regulus
Hermione

[birdsofshore]

In-ter-esting.... :DD

Nice to see the Next gen kids getting some love!

[hazel-wand.livejournal.com]

I'm going to leave out Harry and Draco because they get plenty of love (and that's quite all right with me) and pick some characters who might need an extra cuddle. And I wanted to say Ron, because <3 and Hermione too and Neville because he is such love, but they have all been said and I want to give others a chance.

So:
1. Molly and Arthur Weasley (counting them as one, please don't hurt me ...)
2. George
3. McGonagall
4. Remus Lupin
5. Was going to be Ginny because she gets such bad press a lot of the time and I think she is a great character, but I changed at the last moment to Tonks, because she seems to be dismissed (even being killed off stage / off page) but I love her early optimism and flippancy and I think it is incredible that she left her child to go and fight, knowing that her choice might mean she never got to come back to him, in order to try to ensure that Teddy got to grow up in a better world.

[birdsofshore]

Great choices <3

I hope you'll come and leave them all the love later!

[amorette.livejournal.com]

Sirius (my fav ♥)
Ron

My mind gets stuck on those two :D
