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?

Like
Harry/Draco - too funny and so obsessive
Regulus - um, *squee* for the favorite character here :)
Snape, Draco, Narcissia, Bellatrix, Tom, Peter - Death Eater characters are tres cool to read about
Slughorn - wasn't sure at first, but the man is cool
The really strange lines that are great out of context - made the book more amusing than it should have been, I'm sure

Dislike
Remus - Too flat and not enough page-time
Remus/Tonks - Canon or not, I don't like it (or Tonks, for that matter)
Lack of Sirius being mentioned - He just died last book. I think we should get a semi-long scene of some sort dealing with this
The Romance - It came out of no where for the most part

A strong ditto from me here.
