Hardly an unpopular opinion. I think the ones that would cause surprise are: Lupin, Hermione, Neville, Fred&George.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't like Fred and George. 'Jokers' were exactly the kind of assholes I liked least back in school.

[(Anonymous)]

Normally I'd agree but that's because the jokers I knew in high school were also bullies. That's just not Fred and George, though. And they read to me more mischievous than jokers, but that's from reading the books as they came out. I saw the movies but I have a terrible memory for movies.

[(Anonymous)]

Fred and George never seemed like bullies to me because their jokes targeted a very wide range of people.

I always felt that bullies had to have targets that they singled out for abuse.

Because no one got singled out, it seemed more like something all of the other students could bond over, instead of something that isolated the victims.

Not that the twins didn't do someone hair raising shit - that thing with the vanishing cabinet, for example.

I had no strong feelings for them up to the point where they tested their products on students. The part where they nearly suffocated Dudley with the Ton-Tongue Toffee completely finished off any positive feelings I might have had. If you dose people (no matter how mean they are) with stuff that nearly kills them, you're an asshole. If you didn't think through the fact that it might kill them, you're a stupid asshole. If you then sell that stuff to schoolkids...

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly agreed, however, that was a general problem in HP for me: The shit they sold to kids was really questionable sometimes.

They = all the wizard shop owners.

Naw, there's been a lot of Remus hate since the 7th book came out. The rest I agree with though.

[(Anonymous)]

What's the Remus hate about? I haven't seen that, but I'm not active in the Harry Potter fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly his actions in DH. He was pretty much worshiped before that.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, thanks

[(Anonymous)]

Switch Hermione with Luna and Fred&George with Bill, and I think you're right.

[(Anonymous)]

Why is Bill popular these days?

Chicks digs scars?

I really, really dislike Lupin and Hermione. I find Lupin actively boring, and I don't find him appealing as a character. There is nothing remotely interesting about the man.

Hermione, man. I could write books about how much I dislike that girl. She's a snot-nosed swot 95% of the time, and there was way too much character worship by Rowling of her.

I LOVE NEVILLE, though.

[retrophysics]

I found Lupin rather boring as well. My interest in him was mostly generated by a theory (completely and utterly busted now) that he wasn't Lupin but rather James Potter (who for some reason has come to inhabit Lupin's body). It sounds bonkers now but I remember reading the evidence they presented and my 12-year-old self was so convinced by it.

Wasn't Hermione essentially a self-insert though? I feel like I read from somewhere that she is.

[(Anonymous)]

Snot-nosed swot? Really?

How?!?
