Especially when he doesn't have a snack for her after one of her deliverys for Harry! When she wacks him on the head with her wing! I would have to re-read that part over a few times and all of us giggled over that! Plus when Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret! William would repeat that over and over again to his brother! I think he would have liked to do that to his brother James! Sibling teasing! Actually, all 4 books have so many great parts! Just reading the posts jogs the memory! So, between animals and main characters and even those awesome Weasley Twins, you have to love it all! Well, we do in our house! Great question!

I have to agree with Wanda here. Hedwig rocks. Though, my fave would have to be Hermione. I love how she changes and develops over the four books, we get to know her more than the others, I think. I find that Ron sort of stays static in his character development, and that Harry is cast in the role of the Hero. While there are great things for him to do, he will always be the hero.
But we have watched Hermione change, soften some, and blossom into a beautiful (with a little help) woman.

Question on this: If there was tuition, would it be closer to University costs or College costs?? Just curious. :P
