So I  thought I'd ask the
following question: In general, how did HBP effect who  your favorite
characters were and how? (feel free to add your least  favorites as well!)



Great question!
 
Without a doubt my favorite characters are the Weasley twins.  I wish  we'd 
seen more of them in HBP, and I was a bit miffed that we didn't get to see  him 
in action as members of the Order.  I was however thrilled to see them  doing 
so well, and putting their own spin to what Harry had taught them with  
shield charms.  They really are powerful wizards and it shows in HBP.   I'd like to 
think they've taught Hermione a valuable lesson about how great  things don't 
necessarily have to come from books.
 
I love that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had such a sense of purpose at the  end. 
 Each of them would have a role to play in defeating Voldemort, and  seemed 
ready to face the challenge.  I really do think of HBP as Harry's  coming of 
age but really that applies to all three of them.  
 
A character that has intrigued me since the last book is Bellatrix  
Lestrange.  I liked seeing her as a sister and aunt.  It gave her much  more depth.  
Actually the entire Malfoy clan gets more interesting with  every book.  In 
their own way they are as loyal to one another as Harry's  friends are to him.  
Narcissa's actions in this book touched me, and I was  not expecting that from 
her or her sister.
