Actually, Viktor Krum seemed like a pretty nice guy, but I never  did 
take a shine to him; he just seemed a bit on the slow side for someone  
who was supposed to be champion of a school.

So, everybody, is  there any character from the books who you WANTED to 
like, but, for some  reason, just couldn't?

Cathy:
I honestly feel that I almost knew all of the characters through JKR's  
wonderful writing. I really liked all of them with maybe the exception of  Dolores 
Umbridge. There was one character that I thought all along I would just  love, 
but after reading DH I found I didn't like her much at all. That character  
is Lily. I always felt that she would be someone I would just adore. She was  
always described as being so kind and talented. I just couldn't wait to learn  
more about her. 
 
This is just my opinion and I really wish that some of you could change it  
for me as I want so much to really like her. I found her to be a bit of a  
spoiled brat from Snape's memories in DH. It could just be that my expectations  
were so high of her. I didn't like how she acted. She seemed kind of whiny  
around her sister and well just a bit of a spoiled brat. I was disappointed with  
what I learned of her. I really felt she was going to be, well more like a 
saint  I guess. 
 
I really wish I could like her as much as I had really thought I would. I  
expected Lily to be one of my favorite characters and instead she was one of my  
least.
 
Cathy, wishing she could learn even more about Lily.
