lizzyben:

I'm going to have to go with Ron. He started out as my favorite 
character, but wore out his welcome by about GOF. The endless 
insecurity about Harry's fame, or his own lack of Quidditch skills, 
rudeness, getting jealous about Hermione kissing Krum two years ago, 
etc. And I agree w/Luna that his humor is often cruel (especially 
towards ghosts!) He did mature quite a bit in DH & got a lot of 
points - but then he lost most of those points in the epilogue. Not 
that I think Ron's really a bad person - he's basically a typical 
teenager & they tend to be annoying! Honorable mention to Tonks. 
Just... why? Why is she even there? 

Most adored character: Neville. I loved watching him grow up & 
overcome his timidity to become a leader at Hogwarts. I really loved 
Neville's entrance to DH - he was just so, almost, thrilled to have 
the chance to finally stand up to the Carrows. I'd really loved to 
have read a book about Neville & the Hogwarts underground movement. 
Throughout the series, even if I stopped caring about the plot or 
the other characters, I always cared about Neville. To me, he and 
Luna were the saving graces of DH.
