Favorite Character
On one of the message boards I read online, the question was raised, "Who is your favorite character in the Harry Potter books?" It's been interesting to see the responses. It's really interesting to see how many people have been reading the books and know something about the characters.
I've read some of the books and my favorite character is probably Hermione, although I really like Dumbledore, too. But I'm wondering, are we supposed to feel that Harry Potter is our favorite?

Why did the ring have absolutely no power over him, and no interest to him? I am very pleased he didn't even make the cut for the movies. That way I still see him in my imagination rather than losing my picture of him in the ovewhelming over-write that a video presentation enforces.

I guess I haven't read enough of them to have chosen a favorite. The tremendous response she receives from her books is great. Isn't it nice to see so many kids (and big kids, too) falling in love with reading?
