I have to stick to it...I can't help but find her stupid. Which 
doesn't mean that she is lacking it totally, neither that I can't see 
her good sides – she cares about her sister, and when she want to be 
nice, she is. But she offends people without thinking, and when she 
think she cant save her sister she behaves rather hysterical (of 
course that doesn't make her stupid but less admirable – look at 
harry, when he thinks hermione is in danger he doesn't lose his head 
but waits for krum to come and either wise he would have brought her 
up).  She is snobby and insensitive (think about how she behaved 
against ron when he asked her to the ball – if that had been hermione 
she would have turned him down gently, even if she didn't know him). 
 And regarding the triwizard tournament, she was picked because she 
was the best student from her school, but apparently that isn´t good 
enough. And you don't have to be smart to be good at something – she 
could have combined cramming with an inheritance of magical skill. 
Like hermione she might have a good memory, from which she can pick 
just the right piece of knowledge in every situation because she has 
been taught to do it. 

About Gabrielle we know nothing but that stupid Fleur loves her.

Rita Skeeter is mean and blond, thank you for that one. 

Narcissa I consider "bad" (snobby, cold-hearted, self-centred) too – 
thinking of the expression of disgust in her face (common among 
disdained upper class), the fact that she is married to lucius 
malfoy, and the name rowling gave her. I don't think she will play 
that much a bigger role in the future, apart from the one as Draco's 
mother(I do not belive in her being redeemed as an oppressed wife, 
divorcing from Lucius, marrying Sirius, despite all the fan fiction 
on this subject). 
Then there is Lucius. Bad and blonde, of course.

I just think that every blond person in the book lacks either 
goodness or intelligence. Yeah, and that´s what I wanted to say...
But no despair - lets all pin our faith on Hannah Abbot (although the 
facts that she is in harworkerhufflepuff and a pretty clumsy little 
one make me think she might belong in the stupid blond-category. But 
I dont know her)
