Ok, I'll play!

SSSusan:
> which of the books has become your favorite?

 - I would have to say Half Blood Prince. My favourite changed every
time a new one came out. It was PoA, then GOF, then OotP, then HBP.
I think they got steadily better. But HBP remains my favourite, DH
didn't have the same impact for me.

> *Which is/has become your least favorite book of the series?

 - My least favourite are the first two to be honest. They are not
so meaty and you don't know the characters so well. Plus, I found it
much better once Sirius and Remus were around and once you found out
more depth to Snape. It would probably be Chamber of Secrets but for
the fact that there is some good Snape action in that. (You may be
able to tell, I love Snape!) So, all in all I would say Philosopher's
Stone, it was not as well developed as later books in the series.

> *Is there a character you find yourself especially fond of now
that its all over?

 - Yes, Severus Snape forever! I am also rather fond of Hagrid,
Remus, Molly and Arthur.

> *Are there chapters or scenes (or whole books) that you skip when
you (if you) re-read?  Warum?

 - Interesting question. Yes, I do do that occasionally. I sometimes
decide I will read the whole thing but other times I find that I
skip. I often skip a lot of the Umbridge bits and Hagrid's brother
in OOTP, the troll bit in PS and sometimes I skip the bits before he
gets to school. I rarely read PS and CoS at all anymore.

I will often skip straight to favourite scenes in all of the books
with Snape in, such as the Occlumency chapter in OOTP and Spinner's
End in HBP etc

I love questions like this!
