Homework Assignment #1 - My 3 Character Choices

Dobby!
Okay, so he wasn't TECHNICALLY on the list of characters. BUT he is my absolute favorite (*points to blog title and the sidebar*) and I can easily go into detail and explain why. So here it goes.

I love Dobby for SO MANY reasons. I love his loyalty. I love his quirkiness. I love that he is entirely selfless, and just so true to himself. He went against his masters to try and save Harry Potter (even if he had a funny way of doing it). He wanted to be free and he enjoys his freedom, but he isn't trying to force it on the other house elves. I just love that he is who he is. I love that he has a different way of thinking than anyone else. I'm not sure that anyone else would've come up with the same ways to try and "save" Harry in "Chamber of Secrets." Dobby marches to the beat of his own drummer. He loves his socks, he wears tea cozies, he is just and incredible being.

Also, I want to add that I have SUCH an affinity to Dobby that I straight up CRIED in "Deathly Hallows." I think a book has only ever made me tear up once, maybe twice, but with Dobby I CRIED. I also would've been pissed if Bellatrix lived and he hadn't been "avenged." I cheered when Molly gave her hers.

Sirius
Sirius was my second favorite in the book. I appreciated the family connection in the Wizarding world that Sirius provided Harry. Even more than that though I love Sirius' spirit. He was a man that acted. He didn't sit and think about things; he didn't like to sit still; he just acted. That may have been a bad thing, but I liked it. I also admired him for that, seeing as how I'm someone who over-thinks decisions so often that I end up flipping coins. I also totally love him changing into a dog. OH! And I like that he was in hiding and traveling to all sorts of parts of the world and using exotic birds to deliver Harry letters.

Fleur Delacour
I like her because she's pretty. AND she has the same name as me!
In all seriousness, I feel that I've always needed to root for the only female triwizard champion. AND even though she didn't maybe do as awesome as the boys, she did all of that looking AMAZING. I love it. I also love Fleur for her haughtiness. I also really think that her dedication to her family (shown both with the love for her sister and the family she married into) is really awesome.
EDIT: (I forgot this bit earlier.) I always liked Fleur because she is either completely oblivious to people's opinions towards her OR she just doesn't care what she thinks and she'll just go on being herself and doing what she wants. I know that if I was her, I wouldn't have been able to stay in the house with Molly and Ginny having the attitudes toward me that they had toward her. :)
