SSSusan:
Most loathesome character -- good one! I wonder how many nominees 
we'd get beyond Dear Dolores, Moldy Voldy and Trixie, though? Maybe 
Vernon Dursley? I'm sure someone would nominate my beloved twins, 
too. I'd probably go with Dolores myself.

  I just love all these threads! OK, Most Loathsome Character...
   
  Umbridge definitely makes my short list. She's just vile. I have to say, however, that she is one of my absolute favorite characters to read. I love her sickeningly sweet veneer and her robot-like devotion to the MoM, and her truly black and evil soul. I love her tittering laugh and her froggy face. In the Medium the Must Not be Named, I thought the filmakers nailed her, and I love every minute she's on screen. So, while she's undoubtedly loathsome, she's the character I love to hate!
   
  Bellatrix Lestrange would be number two for me. And unlike Umbridge, I just flat out hate her. Her fawning over Voldemort made me sick, and her delight in death and cruelty was abjectly horrible to me. I find her the ultimate bully - a coward, a follower, someone with little or no mind of their own. I really find her Loathsome with a capitol "L".
   
  And topping out the top three would probably be Luna Lovegood's father, whose first name escapes me at the moment. I just thought he was disgusting. There's nothing I hate more than a traitor. And after all those years running the Quibbler and taking on the MoM...he just gives in and gives up Harry and Hermione (was Ron there?) for dead. It made me nauseus. He was so weak and pathetic. I know his daughter was missing, and possibly dead, but he couldn't have thought that Luna would relish the idea that he had given up her dearest friends to the forces of evil. I just found him the kind of guy I want to smack across the face and say,  "Get a backbone, man!" Blech. In thinking about it...I might actually hate him more than Bellatrix or Umbridge. 
   
  Fun game! I'll think of some others....: ) Katie
