OoP: Reassessing the Dead Sexy Blokes list

[Kirstini]

No: HPFGUIDX 65008

Just felt that Darrin's testosterone-charged post deserved an 
answer, and I'm well aware that I'm going to be brutally savaged by 
the Snapeologists for this...:

1. Lupin. Just keeping up the momentum built up in PoA. Earns extra 
points for understated grief, and also for going over and talking to 
the new werewolf in Arthur's ward. Oh yes, oh yes.

2. Sirius. Now elevated to Tragic Hero status (sniff), plus extra 
points for rushing to save harry, and for all that handsome 
arrogance and nice hair in the Pensieve. I don't care if he wasn't 
very nice about, quite frankly.

3. *New Entry* Kingsley Shacklebolt. Oh good lord yes. I'm with 
Captain Cindy on this one, and wondered if she wouldn't mind giving 
me navigation tips for my spanking new dinghy, which I'm calling 
KIDS (Kingsley Is Dead Sexy - does exactly what it says on the tin.)

4. *New Entry* Fred and George. For all the one liners, and because 
their exit was just a bit too darn cool. Although those nasty 
dragonhide jackets made their positions a bit wobbly.

5. *New Entry* Harry himself - and before anyone starts, Darrin was 
allowed Ginny, and she's even younger. He's finally developed a 
backbone, and I *like* that. And he'll grow out of the tantrums. 
Besides, Cho Chang has good taste, I think. Cedric might have been a 
bit of a wet dishcloth, but he was still hot.

6. James Potter. He was a little bit higher originally, but did 
prove himself to be a bit of twannock in the Pensieve. He's still in 
on sufferance, as my fifteen year old self would really have fancied 
him, spineless little wretch that she was. 

7. Lucius Malfoy. Also demoted, because of frankly humiliating 
roping/Azkaban scenario. Part of the attraction for me was that he 
was going to become Minister for Magic. He didn't.

Bubbling under:
Snape. I'm sorry. All that death-stoppering power is still tempting, 
but he wears GREY pants. Pre-OoP I was prepared to concede that the 
greasiness had something to do with potion-making, but I'm not 
anymore. And throwing an adolescant strop and stopping Occulemency 
classes? Not attractive either.

Bill Weasley. Succumbed to Fleur's charms a little quickly, didn't 
he?

Give 'em a few years:
Neville. All those heroics. Who knew?
Ron. As long as he doesn't end up as Hermione's henpecked hubby.
Dean Thomas. Artistic and reasonable. And Ginny definately has good 
taste.

No thankyou very much:
Draco. Pale, slimy little imitation of his father.
Antonin Dolhov: I got the impression he was a bit thick really. 
Ditto all the other extra DEs.
Rookwood. Blooming thong melted in my washing machine.

Kirstini (preparing resistance to all Snape-related hexes and jinxes 
as you read this.)

PS - Darrin, did you know that Julie Christie's playing Rosmerta in 
TMTMNBN3?
