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?

What new characters did you like/dislike?

Apart from Sanguini, the pasty-loving vampire with a roving eye, I gotta say that this book finally made Narcissa and Bellatrix interesting to me. Oh yes. So old-new characters.

Much love for Snape who lives in a hovel and AKs people! :D And Slughorn, the different sort of Slytherin, much love for him, too.

Fenrir Greyback was a horrid, fascinating addition. A true psychopath. I expect an explosion of werewolf-related non-con chan (le sigh), though, and it'll be all thanks to him.

Mollywobbles! Roonil Wazlib! Won-won! "Lav-Lav"! Aahaha! XD Old people got some funky new nicknames.

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

Mmm, Snape/Draco, obviously. Still much love for Harry/Snape, the ship that just got so much harder.

Bellatrix/Narcissa.

Dumbledore/Riddle.

Also enjoyed R/Hr -- not because I give a flying fuck about the ship, but because it was bound to happen and it then stirred up so much shiat. ;)

At least 'Sevvykins' wasn't in there :P
