Brief thoughts on HP

[trixalicious]

So far, I've read through Book 3, and I'm totally digging it. I've actually enjoyed each book in the series more than I did the one before it, so I'm very happy about that.

Favorite Student: Neville. Just because I got all teary at the end of Book 1 when he got 10 points for Gryffindor. I guess I have a soft-spot for hapless. (Y'all, I know I sorted my sis into Hufflepuff, but if she was an actual HP character, she'd be Neville.)
Favorite Professor: Minerva McGonagall. If I was an animagus, I'd turn into a cat too.
Favorite Weasley: Ron, of course, because in my head he's played by Dean Venture.
Favorite Character (All-Around): It was Hagrid for the first two books but then I met Remus Lupin. (Lupin is made of WIN, y'all!) And then I met Sirius Black, who now claims the title of MY MOST FAVORITEST. (And then two of these characters left Hogwarts. But they still exist in the HP universe, right? Oh, dear. This is going to turn out bad for me, isn't it?)
Shippy?: The books aren't very shippy yet (Do they even get shippy?), but I know there's a lot of fandom shipping, which I haven't paid much attention to, because I didn't know what the deal was. Now that I know, I have to say that I'm a Ron/Hermione girl. And, mildly, a Harry/Ginny girl. Her crush is too cute.

Wow. I totally need some HP icons, don't I? Can anyone point me to good book (not movie) icons?

I'm visiting with my folks this week, so I haven't been able to read my f-list since the end of last week. I'll try and catch up this weekend!

I love Neville SO VERY MUCH. I may even love him more than Ron, but don't tell anyone.

Your secret is safe with me, because I think I might totally agree with you! Neville is awesome from the start, but now that I'm all caught up, he's just... even awesomer.

I love Sirius and Remus both like burning. I could read a whole seven books about the Marauders. But I'd probably end up crying through all of it because I'd know how it end.

I used to be shippy, but then I realized how batshit crazy the HP fandom is, and I realized shipping just wasn't worth it. Besides Remus/Sirius, of course. :)

My sister and I were just talking today about how the more we get to know about the Marauders, the more we want to know. I just love them so!

I think I'm just going to stay on the very fringe of this fandom, and hope like heck that the crazy doesn't rub off on me.

Yeah, that's right! I read Harry Potter. And I liked it!

Suspicious h0r.

Oh, dear. This is going to turn out bad for me, isn't it?

Yes, yes it is. But they really are the BESTEST EVER characters. *swoons*

I heart that you're reading the whole series through for the first time. Yay new fannishness!! :D:D

You reading book 4 yet? I love book 4.

I have finished the series! I cried out all my tears for Book 5, and had none left for Book 6. I love them all so much, but ESPECIALLY Sirius and Remus. Like, on a scale of 1 to 100, I love everybody else 100. Sirius and Remus? I love them 1000000000000482106103085000000. Or so.
