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?

Slughorn is a total skeeve, but I couldn't get enough of him.

Romilia Vane needs an intervention. Or something.

I took an odd interest in Draco this time. I mean, he's not new, except he sort of is, because he actually has a personality, purpose and a plot thread of his very own.

The Gaunts were like something out of Deliverance. They were just fascinating, in a trainwreck sort of way.

Remus still owns my soul. He's pretty when he lies and he's my favorite martyr, even if he suddenly likes women.

I've tried desperately not to ship Harry/Voldie all this time, but he really was on about how hot Tom was in every pensieve scene.

Snape/Draco, dude. Why didn't I see it before?

I thought so too. Reminded me of that X-Files episode called 'Home.' Did you see that?

'Home' is one of the like four X-Flies episodes that ever creeped me out. If I ever see that one again, I will totally be thinking of the Gaunts.
