AD:
Huh. Of all the HP characters, I identify with Hermione the most.  In
fact I have a fanfic work-in-progress that may never see the light of
day because Hermione keeps wanting to take it over, to the point of
becoming a Hermione-Sue.

It was, you might imagine, a bit of a shock for for a straight,
distinctly non-teenaged male to realize that.

His obvious attraction for her is one of the reasons I appreciate Ron
so much, though I suspect he'd hate my guts.
