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?

[conuly]

Added.

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

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

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

oo, Cho?

I wish these names would come to me all at once, damnit. :P

[conuly]

Are you volunteering to write pro, or con?

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

Now see, I don't remember enough about the books to write anything. Names just keep popping into my head. :(

*runs away*

[conuly]

Names just keep popping in your head...
And just like the guy who read the books in his bed
Nothing seems to stick
The names just keep popping in my head, they keep popping...

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

Okay, I have to ask. What the hell?

[conuly]

What?

[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?

[phibby.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[conuly]

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

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

In regards to what you said, is that something you made up? Is it from a song, or a book?

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Stylin'. What length do you have in mind?

[phibby.livejournal.com]

Ah! If any, probably none of those.

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

[conuly]

Raindrops keep falling on my head.... La, la, la, la, la, la I do not know the wooooooords! Da da da da deee, but...

Raindrops keep falling on my head.

[conuly]

Three and a half feet, more if I hated your father.

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's kind of how I sing along to songs where some of the lyrics are a complete blank to me.

[conuly]

Alternatively:

As long as you feel is necessary to fully explain this character in terms of pro or con.

[conuly]

Which is why I love Pterry. He's got songs in which the lyrics really are hnur nur nur nur (everyone always forgets the second verse, so might as well plan for that) and my favorite....

Now we sing dis stupid song!
Sing it as we run along!
Why we sing it we don't know!
We can't make the words rhyme prop'ly!
Sound off!
One, two!
Sound off!
Many, lots!
Sound off!
Err, what?

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

Haha, you're a bit of a goon. It's fantastic.

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

Eep, I hope you don't take offense to being called a bit of a goon. It's not a bad thing.

[conuly]

No worries. I doubted you'd insult me so openly, and then say it was fantastic.

[drewaline.livejournal.com]

That was an after thought. I get really paranoid sometimes about the things I say, so I figured I'd clear it up.
