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?

i'm probably biased, but i have to go with Fenrir Greyback. he was just, pure evil in such wonderfully horrible ways. *grins*

i also found myself liking Slughorn, although i was a bit dubious about him in the beginning. i loved the scene at Aragog's funeral.

i wasn't much impressed with the new Minister, but i don't feel like i got enough feel of him in this book, so, that could change.

Omg we think exactly the same things. *cheers* Yay Fenrir!

It was very Slytherin of him to go to the funeral, only to obtain the acromantula venom.

But it was even more Slytherin of Harry to devise a way for them both to profit.

Harry gets his teacher maudlin drunk. I was amazed. I did NOT know he had it in him.

The little tease.
