Fandom Discussion: New HBP Additions -- yea or nay?

[themostepotente]

Since there have been several new character additions from HBP, I decided to do a post to see who took a shine or a dislike to whom -- and also to discuss new favorite ships.

I see no reason really to put this behind a cut. But I implore you, if you have not yet read HBP, DON'T peruse the comments!

So without further adieu...

What new characters did you like/dislike?

What new ships (or renewed interests in old, forgotten ships) have tickled your fancy?

One word: GAUNTS

The Gaunts were way cool. Harry Potter meets the Beverly Hillbillies.

Brang-rang-rang-rang!

I am never going to be able to read about the Gaunts without hearing banjo music. With Parseltongue lyrics.

"Pa, I done nailed a snake to the front door."

"Still wrigglin'?"

"Yep."

"That's my boy!"

Just reread the passage and noticed Harry thought Marvolo was flipping Ogden the bird/giving him two fingers up when he was displaying the ring. *snerk*
