1. Harry Potter (terribly unoriginal, I know, but without him, where would the books be?*) 2. Prof. McGonagall 3. Hermione Granger 4. Prof. Dumbledore 5. Molly & Arthur Weasley (tie) 6. Remus Lupin 7. Sirius Black/Hagrid (tie) 8. Ron Weasley 9. Luna Lovegood 10. Neville Longbottom *I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the O/P would love it if the books had been titled thusly: Draco Malfoy and the Philosopher's Stone; D.M. and the Chamber of Secrets; etc.  |

I posted this somewhere else as well, but here goes… 1. Mad Eye Moody Well, the guy who impersonated him in Goblet of Fire… You know what I mean! 2. Remus Lupin 3. Albus Dumbledore (as portrayed by Gambon, whose performance I find far wittier and cleverer than Harris’s, though I like them both) 4. Severus Snape 5. Rubeus Hagrid 6. Sirius Black 7. Mr. Ollivander 8. Arthur Weasley 9. Minerva McGonagall (as portrayed by Maggie Smith) 10. Neville Longbottom/Molly Weasley (Early Neville would be here; the character gets less interesting as the series goes on. Mrs. Weasley is one-note, but I like that one note.  ) (Mercy, all those Dickensian names! Speaking of Rowling’s nomenclature, I’ve just noticed how many of her unusual names for wizard characters end in the same “-us”: Remus, Albus, Severus, Rubeus, Sirius, Lucius [Malfoy]. ¿ Por qué? [ Mantequilla!] Any more I missed?) |

Rarely do I love the leading man, chief love interest, primary heroine, etc. PS: We need a TOP 10 on the FBAWTFT characters. |

leesilm, well, for me, it’s less that than it is that I simply don’t find Harry all that interesting of a character. Pretty much a blandly generic “hero figure,” along with (in the later books and movies) the tiresome modern brooder aspect. But I agree that, with HP especially, the supporting characters are both better and more fun.

But I agree that, with HP especially, the supporting characters are both better and more fun. I like the trio-idea, STAR WARS had Han/Luke/Leia, STAR TREK had Bones/Spock/Kirk, etc. etc. but I tend to think the HARRY POTTER one got too focused on romance. Just my opinion, but I always thought it would have been more interesting if each of them ended up with someone outside of the trio (i.e. Harry with Luna, Hermoine with someone Fred/George introduced her to, Ron with a girl he met during a Quidditch thing), one of the best scenes from the first one was Hermoine talking to Harry before he goes through the room with the flying keys while she scoops up Ron, another great scene is when she's able to find Harry despite the invisibility cloak, or when Ron wakes up on Christmas morning to inform Harry that Harry had gotten a Christmas present. These moments that had nothing to do with romance. WARS's trio didn't get bogged down by a romance. Leia and Han's thing wasn't a distraction- it was something going on while the three were taking their own ways of trying to save the galaxy/learn to be a Jedi/escape Jabba/etc. in EMPIRE. And in JEDI, they used the romance as something to allow some comedy and to show character growth. And TREK, it never was romantic with the three, Kirk had his various love interests (don't get me started on how awesome Gillian was in VOYAGE HOME and how I am still crossing my fingers that they find a way to bring her into the new, Kelvin-timeline movies), Bones had a couple, Spock had his (Chapel, Uhura, etc.) - and in the new movies, they have clearly stuck Spock with Uhura while leaving Kirk & Bones somewhat confirmed bachelors at the end of STAR TREK BEYOND, so romance was rarely an issue in that trio. Give me BROmance or outside-the-trio romances. |
