Two more unrelated things...

[conuly]

1. An article about gay marriage, taken from mephron. Well, it's a letter. Not an article.

2. Okay. So, if we're going to do pro/con essays about Harry Potter, we need a list...

1. Harry Potter



2. Neville



3. The Weasley Family



4. The Twins



5. Ginny



6. Ron



7. Percy



8. Hermione



9. The Dursley family



10. Petunia



11. Dudley



12. Vernon



13. Luna



14. Dean



15. Draco



16. The Malfoy family



18. Snape



19. Dumbledore



20. Voldie



21. McGonagall



22. Sirius



23. Lupin



24. James



25. Peter



26. Lily



27. Fudge



28. Moody



29. Molly



30. Arthur



31. Rita Skeeter



32. Hagrid



33. Various DADA teachers



34. Others, as suits your fancy




I tried to limit myself to characters who have been reasonably important in more than one book, or whom we know a lot about (that'd be Dean), but I no doubt missed many. We've got space to offer to write pro-essays, con-essays, whatever. Or not. I might write a lot, if I don't get bored halfway through. I love overanalyzing stuff :)

Edit: If enough people are willing to do this, do you think this deserves a comm? Maybe hppeople_essays? I'm thinking links are good enough, but I can always add one more community to my huge list I already maintain.

What about Rita Skeeter and Hagrid?

Added.

Mwaha, while we're at it, what about Filtch?

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

I'd write pro-Peter.

You gonna set up a comm for this, or just have us write them up and post a link in this thread when we're done, or what?

[conuly]

I don't think we need a new comm. I mean, we've already got hp_essays, don't we? I'd say post in your journal, and link to 'em either here or in the most recent entry (whichever is easier) and I'll collect them all up.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Stylin'. What length do you have in mind?

[phibby.livejournal.com]

Maybe Fleur (and the other champions if you'd like), Moaning Myrtle, Dobby, Tonks, the Death Eaters, and the Order?

[conuly]

JKR needs to kill off more characters, stat. *groans* So, which essays are you writing?

[phibby.livejournal.com]

Ah! If any, probably none of those.

I need to reread (or, in HBP's case, acutally read) these books again.

Hey, your Weasley twins essays are already done for you. I just came across Fred and George cons here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/pharnabazus/4468.html) and here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ajhalluk/139634.html#cutid1). 'Course, you might want new essays in a set form of some sort, but those are interesting reads nonetheless.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely doing the pro-Percy essay.

*looks around* But at a time when I have my books and am not at work. ^^

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

Pro/con in what way? I did write an essay contrasting Snape and Voldemort, but I'm not sure that's the sort of thing you're looking for. Anyway, it's here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chaos_by_design/201188.html) if you want to read it.

[bastardsword.livejournal.com]

I'll do pro-Filch and ... ... well, I can't very well say con-Hermione, can I? Well, I'm doing the 'con' side of #8.

[wodhaund.livejournal.com]

I claim the Malfoys! Oh wait, you aren't doing that, are you.... XD
