Yes please!!!!!

Neville is by far the best character in Harry Potter, hands down. Second is Ron, just because of his hair.

Neville Longbottom has always been my favorite character. I loved the progression through the series of someone who was rather timid and others would walk all over him at the begining but at the end of the series really exemplified what being a Gryffindor was all about.

I would have to say that Arthur Weasley is one of my favorite characters. He seems to be an excellent father, both as a provider and protector of his family. He has strong ideals which he is willing to stand up for. He's also a bit of a nutter. Good combination.

Warning: I will beat anyone who laughs at me for crying at the end of this movie.

Beat. With a stick or other hard object. I have good aim, even through my tears.

That being said, my favorite character is the two-headed monster known as Fred and George Weasley.

Michael, you're so right about Neville. He was, also, my favorite. I believe I actually called out a "RIGHT ON" while reading the last few pages of the last book.

Ron has always been my favorite.

Exactly how I feel, Michael. I kind of wish he and Ginny had married each other in the end.

I've always like Snape. At first you think he's this really mean man, but towards the end you learn about him and his love for Harry's Mom. It's really sweet.

I like the kid with the glasses and the scar.

I already purchased my midnight premiere ticket on Fandango.

oh man, if i get those I might just have a nerdgasm. My other thought for a derby name was "Luna Shovegood" because I love Luna so much.

I like all of the characters, really. I celebrate their entire catalogues. Especially the creepy ones.

(But it should be also noted that I have elaborate daydreams about doing christopher-walken-esque dances in hotel lobbies and Ikea with the Weasley Twins. Not even joking. I need a shrink.)

Hmm... I should run a HP marathon this weekend just to get into a hogwarty mindset for the new one.

Who here has bought their midnight premiere tickets?

Okay, so it may seem strange - but I really really liked Slughorn in the sixth book. I thought his character was really interesting and convincing. He wasn't evil or anything, but the way he "admired" power wizards and had "favorites" I found him to be a very entertaining addition to the series. Not to mention his involvement in telling Tom Riddle about the horcruxes....

Pottaaaahhhh!!!!!

Will the screening be in iMax?

I really love how the Harry Potter cast has stayed the same the entire run, even Ginny from the first movie.

The best and most compelling character by far is Severus Snape! The whole "Is he good or evil" aspect of his character made reading about him riveting!

Bilbo is my favorite...pick me so I can see what happen to the ring...

my favorite character is sirius. unfortunately he isn't in this movie because voldemort *killed* him in "the order of the phoenix."
(i used asterisks because i don't really believe he's dead. of course i've read all the books and am waiting for the final final one... the one where sirius comes back)

I love Neville. I loved him in all the books and the movies. Although I did become a really big fan of Luna Lovegood because she was so weird yet so likeable.
I can't wait to see this movie!

Pick me, pick me! I TOTALLY wanna take the podling. She's been an HP fan since before she could read. We would read them to her, then in her early school career she did at least TWO reports on Harry Potter (with art work and everything). Now she's read them all, and owns every released DVD...

And as a parent, there are MUCH WORSE obsessions your kid could have. This one is at least imaginative, and entertaining for a parent to follow.

My favorite character is Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. He's the dark and ominous rebel, with a sketchy lineage and past, but with a true heart of gold. Misunderstood and maligned, but still the good guy.

Neville Longbottom has got to be the best awkward geek character in a long time. I love him. I like all of the Weasley's as well - so quirky and wild, and smart. The kind of folks everyone should have as friends.

Of course there is the wonderfully evil Voldemort. An evil genius if there ever was one.

What great books, and movies. If you haven't heard the audiobook versions, you're missing something. The reader is freaking fabulous. Brings the books to life in a way I couldn't when I read them, and I was astounded at the books when I read them.

Please, I'd love tickets for me and my kids.

Thanks,

Brian

Characters like Snape and Tonks seem to be my favorites but the relationships were what got me. For instance Harry and Ginny, I felt like a kid again reading that.

BTW If I win please give me two tickets. If I see this movie without my wife she will kill me. And not quickly either.

I'm all over this! Let me at it!

I can't wait to see this.

I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD! One of us better win!

i could go for this!!!

Frigging awesome! Must... win! I've always been partial to Ron. Funny dude.

I would have to say that my personal favorite is Snape in this portion of the story. Anyone who actually reads the books knows why.

My favorite character from book 6 is Dumbledor.

I just recently gave this movie series a shot, and I must say that I am now hooked! I now hope to win tickets to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I am commenting on this post as i really want to win tickets of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" before anyone else.i really hope that i win this tickets.

I would have to say the twins. I must say I'm so very thrilled I'm not the only HP nutter out there. I got so much grief from friends and family when I started reading the series, but I just wouldn't hear it. I'm hooked, so sad the series is over. I hope we do score two tickets when I win, because, I'm proud to say my husband is a reluctant convert. I got the chills when I saw the trailer in the theater. Money's been tight so these tix will come in handy. I want to see what they cut out.

By the way Longbottom is my second favorite

Professor McGonagall is my favorite

Ooh... I want tix please.
Fave character have to be Luna because she's a bit out of it

In the books: Sirius Black, in the movies: Ron Weasley, in my dreams: Cedric Diggory...

I don't really have any favorite character in particular. If I had to choose one I would actually go with Dobby. And this is, very much, a love/hate sorta emotion that the weird lil guy seems to bring out. I love to hate him. I seriously want to punch him in the face, but at the same time I get a kick out of making fun of the lowly house-elf. He's very much like Jar Jar of Star Wars notoriety.

Then again, I might go with Myrtle ("Miserable, moaning, moping Myrtle!"). She seems kinky.

Snape is my favorite character. He's the most complex. In the earlier books, you got the sense that there was something more there. He's always had a mistique about him. The truth is heart-breaking.

Albus Dumbledoor is my favorate followed by Neville. Then Harry Potter and Ron.

Hermione and Ginny are always my favorites.

Snape is my favorite character followed by Ron Weasley. I like the seriousness in him played by Alan Rickman.

My favorite character is Hermione because of her smarts in wizardry kinda like the Egon of the Ghostbusters.

Hermoine because she always does the right thing . . . even when the right thing does not follow the "rules". I particularly liked her in Order of the Phoenix. The reader realized her development from a by the book kind of girl to an independent young woman. She thrived on defiance but with the certainty it was necessary. And it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend calls me Hermoine when I try to make a point

My favorite character is Severus Snape because I like his serious expressions played by Alan Rickman also how is voice is expressed when he talks!

My other favorite character is Ron Weasley. I like his goofyness and his hair.

Re: audio books

The whole series is great on audio books. We just went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon and played Deathly Hallows all the way. No fighting over music, no trying to tune in a station, no weird radio disk jockeys. For a long trip, it is a great idea.

Best Character:
Harry himself. He remained a humble, everyday kid through all the teenage angst, magical powers, and chosen one bit.

My favorite characters are Lupin and Sirius. Close seconds though are Fred and George and Professor McGonagall.

This would be a great thing. I can't wait to see this one. My favorite book by far.

I really like Hagred. He is ver large & scary looking, but he is just a big sweetheart.

Harry Potter is the best character of course. It is around him that the story revolves and his good heart is the core of the story.

Of course Hermoine is another main character that is a favorite. She is the nerdy bookworm that helps Harry accomplish all that he can.

I would have to agree with Lucie. Snape is my fave character as well. Who else had such a profound effect on the story. If he hadn't heard "the secret" then none of the story would've happened. Also, His love for Lily is what advanced things further in MAJOR ways read the books and you'll know what I mean. I'm expecting big things from this movie that none of the commercials have touched on.... Pensive anyone?

I really like Dumbledor.I just wish they would have left the original actor with the raspy voice.

Dumbledor is a great character. They make him be so smart & witty. I just wish that they would have used the same actor in all of the movies.

Ron Weasley. Hands down.

Hermione Granger. I love her spunky attitude.

Neville Longbottom has to come first in my book. He was always an outcast for being clumsy and odd but he never gave up and was always a loyal friend and in the end shows why he was put in Gryfindor in the first place. He is really a person everyone should aspire to.

Next I would say Snape. Though he seems abrasive he truly has his heart in the right place. It's kind of like he was sucked into the cult or Voldemort and trying to escape was one of the hardest (and most noble) things he could have done.

The Weasley's in general are a great dynamic of the book and movies. It shows that a family can be just as loving without a lot of money and I think that they gave many kids from lower economic families a boost in pride that I think they deserved!

I think a lot of people missed the boat when they were asked about their favorite characters from HBP... a lot of posts are talking about characters who aren't even in the sixth book, or referring to elements of the story that don't take place during that time in the series.

I mean, I respect all your opinions and they are all valid because there are a ton of great characters from the series....but not really relevant to the question, you know?

Hermione is, by far, the best character! She's strong-willed and smart, and adds depth to the scenes with Harry and Ron...plus the funny scenes where Ron is JUST TOO DUMB to figure out that he likes her for more than a friend/buddy. (Guys can be so dense!!!)

I think the next obvious choice is Sirius Black! He's kinda like that kid from summer camp...you never met before but by the end of the week you are inseprable. I love how though we really never get to know Sirius very well we are still naturally drawn in by him and his story. And the fact that he often has to step back and reflect on himself is a great example of what we should do as people.

Next is Remus Lupin! Okay, let's go over this, he's a nice, chocolate giving, teacher of great skill, that just happens to become a werewolf. What more needs to be said?

I think the movie is better than the book, it really makes the characters come to life. My favorite character is Dumbledor.

I like Professor McGonnagle. 1) She can turn into a cat...(I love cats!) 2) She supports the students in Hogwarts. She's stern with them, but you know she loves them. I know she's not one of the kids in the story...but she plays an important role!

I really like Draco Malfoy's character. I know I'm getting glares of death but hear me out! He comes from a privleged family and has everything he could ever want...except his father's attention and approval. He is a victim! Yes he makes some poor choices but really his father never paid any attention to him until he realized how he could manipulate his son. Poor Draco Malfoy. He's not really bad, he's just written that way. ;)

Now Luna Lovegood is a great character! She is quirky but always looks on the bright side of things!

My next favorite character is Professor Lupin. He knew Harry's father, and he hasn't forgotten what it was like, being a student at Hogwarts. I wish he could have been around for more of the book, but he plays an important part when he does show up! I like it when he gives Harry back the Marauder's map before he leaves.

One of my favorite characters in 'Harry Potter' is Draco Malfoy. In the first book, Draco was my least favorite character. He was a cowardly bully who manipulated others, and teased and taunted his victims. But as the books went on, I started liking him. In the last book Draco even started becoming nice! When Harry saved Draco, I was happy, because what's Harry Potter without Malfoy?? I also like Hermione because she is very intellient. She was always planning, and always found a way out of sticky situations. I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!

Now for the bigges. Let's start with Ron Weasley. He is a loving and loyal friend who's fear of everything creates great comedy! His secret love of Hermione is also adorable and I didn't realize it but I was secretly rooting for them through all 7 books!

Hermione Granger. I seriously used to be that girl! My head was never not buried in a book and I was also fearless! I love her!

my daughter likes Hermione naturally as she is smart and skillfull ....

I think Ginny is an appropriate character to discuss next. She has been one of the most endearing characters! Her face turning bright read whenever Harry was in the room! Oh I can't tell you what joy it brought me that those two make it!

Okay...and OF COURSE...I like Harry. He always takes charge and beats Voldemart...or at least has a victory for the good side. But he is lucky that he has his close friends to have his back...to help him keep his confidence!

Another one of my favorite characters is Neville Longbottom. He started out timid, shy, and dorky. People took advantage of him, and he eventually stood up for himself! In Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, Neville took a stand, and helped Harry with the Order. Also, in the last book, while Harry, Ron, and Hermione were away, Neville was definitley a hero. He stood up for everyone, and took the severe punishments from the Carrows. AND.... he refused to join Voldemort when the "Dark Lord" asked! Neville is a true hero!

... I prefer Sirius. He was awesome in the book but I thought Gary Oldman was way underused in the films. Also ...The original 100% commercial-free music Satellite Radio Service and official home of the NFL, Howard Stern, Martha Stewart and NASCAR. Listen in your car, ...

I love Neville Longbottom.

Arthur Weasely is incredible. He believes and helps Harry through it all, and his quirks make him so endearing! Not to mention all he puts up with (and by that I mean Molly Weasely). Definitely one of my favorites.

Professor Dumbledor because he is intelligent, and acts like he truly cares about Harry

I love Luna lovegood! She is totally the most carefree, funloving person in the books! I like her because she is so out there, and mysterious. You never know what to expect with "Loony Lovegood"! I also love her and her father's obsession with Crumple Horned Shornacks!

I love ALL of the Weasleys, but Fred and George are fantastic! They may not look it, but they are so smart, funny, and strong-willed! I love how their pranks played a part in defeating Voldemort! The Puking Pastilles were genius!

Hard chocie....but lets see I'm gonna have to say harry. He is by far my fav and not because he is the main character. He is brave and witty and i enjoy watching his character grow over the years!!!

Harry Potter.... Of course, he is the main character! He is so strong, smart, and humble. I still don't understand why it took him so long to fall for Ginny! They make a cute couple! He beat voldemort hands down!

I would have to say Dobby the house-elf. I think of him to be really funny but yet faithfull to his friends. He has also been forgotten over the last couple movies because in the movies they have been giving Neville credit for Dobby's deeds. For example, it was Dobby who gave Harry the gillyweed in "The Goblet of Fire" and it was Dobby who found the "Room of Requirements" in "The Order of the Pheonix". I just think Dobby deserves more credit than he has been given. Especially considering what happens to him in the last book...

Hermoine is my favorite character. She is extremely smart and is equipped for any situation. She gives a whole new meaning to the terms "wiz kid". I also feel it was her strength that got Harry through alot of the dangerous situations they have faced throughout the series.

favorite character is of couse Mr. Harry Potter.Im actually a new comer to liking the movies, but now im addicted and.... My best friend who lives in France will be in town when the movie comes out and he is dying to see it.

Throughout the series Dumbledore is my favorite character.

Gotta give props to the Weasley Bros.!

Kreacher is the man..er, elf.

My favorite character has to be either Ron or Voldemort. I like Ron because he's random, a scardy-cat, and he's the funniest one. But, i also like Voldemort because i'm the kind of guy that doesn't like to see happy endings all the time, and he's scary-looking. He just brought a whole new feel to the movies and the books. That's why the sixth book is one of my favorites of the series, after the last, because it has a great deal of action scenes. Plus Dumbledore dies, so it fits in with my hating happy endings.

I like Kreacher in the last book, because Harry learns to love the old houseelf! Kreacher is more ubbeat and happy and even tends to the "Mudblood" Hermione.

Harry Potter is so amazing he gets to have a mysterious family history then learn magic and to meet all these weird creatures and go to all strange and creepy places is so neat.. Harry Potter can discover the strength of this inner magic that he was born with and to watch him grow and gain all this super powers is the best.

I am so excited for this movie it cannot come soon enough! My favorite character is Hagrid. He is such a nice guy I mean he can be a little slow at times but he has a good heart. He always trusts Dumbledore , and remains loyal to him!

This is a great contest!! I would LOVE to see the movie early!!! I have been having a difficult time waiting so a few days early would be an INCREDIBLE TREAT!!!!!!!!! :D THANKS!!!!!

I like Harry. No, not really. I'm just a dad trying to get tickets for his 2 kids that read and love the movies

Voldemort's dope cause he's eeveel! Oh dear lord pick me please.

Favorite character is the star -HARRY POTTER

Wihout him,there would be no movie
Give J.K.Rowling credit-she made him what he is
today

I would love to see the film in advance, I've been anticipating it for ages!

I have several characters throughout the series that I adore, but only one absolute favorite: Hermione Granger. I've been such a book worm since I can even remember, and growing up reading a witty, strong character like her to love was awesome!

What about Malfoy - the boy is so good at being bad, but is he truly? Is a lot of what he does because he's trying to live up to the family name. He does struggle with his decision at the end.

i love to watch his movies since the being so do my kids this movie looks like its going to the best

I'd have to say that Cedric Diggory is one of my fav's, it's just to bad we will never see him in another Harry Potter movie just in those other book movies(Twilight) that sucks.

harry potter is the best. you never know what unknown powers to us and himself he will come up with.

Sirius Black, hands down. Gary Oldman cant play a bad role, in the three movies he's in he dose a great job. I just wish they never got rid of him, maybe he'll come back as a ghost, a spirit, or something.

MALFOY ALL THE WAY!!!

HES A BAD BOY

I MEAN WHO DOESNT LOVE TO HATE THE VILLAN

:)

i want to wacth this movie bad

I think harry is so hot I just cant wait to see him on the big screen. P lease give me tickets to the hp6 movie Thankx!

My favorite character is: Harry Potter...

Fred and George are my favorite because of all their practical jokes. It's like April fools everyday

& hes so strong taking on the Basilisk
i would love to go see him in HP6!!!!!

oh yah...my other fav character is Hermione Granger.
cuz hes hecka smart & knoes a whole bunch of spells...

i love the weasley family. i think they are well-developed and so realistic. the last three books are my abolute favorites. i love exploring voldemort's history in the Half-Blood Prince. so interesting.

I love Hagred because at times he looks huge then at times he looks normal size. And because he has the powers to soothe the beastliset of animals.

I really hope i win!!! I'm a total Harry Potter freak! I have all the movies and all of the books and i could probably quote from them because I have read them so many times.

OMG! I can't wait to see Harry Potter! My favorite character is Hermione because she's so smart!

Hagrid is my favorite character. He is SO big, but looks like a hug is his favorite thing in the world. In many ways he reminds me of my Dad- course Dad isn't quite as tall, but is hairy! And loving, caring, and just all around great guy. I really can't wait.

Snape is the man.

Let's give Faux the Phoenix some props. A silent hero in the series.

My favorite character is Hermione becuase she is smart, funny, and good with spells. I love Harry potter!!!! I have all the boocks and movies, my favorite movie is the third one becuase I like buckbeak. I think the 7th Harry Potter is very sad because lots of people die. I cant wait until July 15 or mabye ever July 13 if i win. I hope I win, Harry potter rocks!!!!!!!

Snape is my favorite character because he is mysterious.

Ron because he always gives harry a more human look. (if that makes any sense)

Dumbledore because he has a lot of stregth but he shows a sofft side also.

OMG I FREAKIN LOVEEEEE HARRY POTTER!!!!

My favorite character is Umbridge because I know someone just like her. They even look alike. I have never read the Harry Potter books, but I was able to predict what Umbridge would do. That was fun!

Luna Lovegood is my favorite character. She is someone who nobody pays attention to but actually has a lot to offer. She is great.

Sooo excited for the new Harry Potter movie. My favorite character has to be Harry himself. He rocks!!!!

I absolutley LOVE Dobby! He thought Harry was an Idol! I loved it when Dobby found the sock in Voldemort's diary! Dobby is the sweetest, most loving house elf ever! I was devastaed when the evil Bellatrix got him... :(

I love Hagrid! He is big and gruff on the outside, but is a big softie on the inside. He loves animal, and so do I. I love it when he brings Harry, Ron, and Hermione to Grawp. Grawp is a big softie too.

My favorite character is Harry himself. He is one of the most relatable heroes in a story that I have ever read. He has struggles, self-doubt, and because of his kindness to others, is lifted up by his friends.

Hermione is one of my favorites because she is most like me! I always have my head stuck in a book..... and i am a strong-willed girl! I like it when she gets Malfoy!

Ginny is my favorite character because she is smart and brave.

I must say that my favorite character would have to be Luna Lovegood. Her personality and spirit are so amusing and pure. Maybe I'm biased, because she reminds me of a blonde me, but I still say Luna. Luna's beliefs are highly influenced, I think, by the fact that her father works for the Quibbler. But that only makes her more believable. She was immortalized as my favorite in the 5th book. J.K. Rowling was a genious with her. If I win, which I doubt, due to the entries so much better than mine, I'd love Looney Lovegood even more.

!!!OMG!!! I cannot decide!!! I Luv Them All!!!

I adore Hermione Granger not just because she is the dynamic female but because she taught me when i was little that it is ok to be smart. I also love Neville Longbottom because he can be corky and wierd at times like me but still really smart. Ron Weasley just because hes a red head and it is a proven fact that all red heads are cool!!! Sirius Black is awesome because he taugh all of us that you can know in your heart that your good even if everyone else tries to prove you wrong and that you can be the first person to break out of Askaban! :) I also love Harry Potter because not only does he fight evil in every book (he who must not be named; Voldemort), He also has to go through the dungeons at Hogwarts but has to get past a three headed dog named Fluffy, try not to get killed by vines, find a key that flys in the air that is mixed up with a thousand other keys, play wizard chess life-sized, and fight Voldemort being on the back of Professor Quierell's head, and trying to protect the Socerer's Stone. All in the first book!! In the second book he has to turn in to another person by Poly juice potion, go into the Chamber of Secrets, talk in snake tounge, save Ginny Weasley (his future wife),fight Tom Riddle the young version of Voldemort, kill a diary, and stab a Basilisk with the sword of Griffindor!! In the third book his life is pretty calm for him and he has only three issues other than school, Ron's pet rat Scabbers turns into Peter Pettigrew a follower of Voldemort, Sirius Black, and Professor Lupin turning in to a Werewolf!! In the fourth book he has to deal with a new teacher named Mad Eye Moody who turns out being a death eater who drank Poly Juice Potion, compete in the Triwizard Tournament ment for 17 year olds and he is only 14, fight a dragon, rescue Ron and Fluer Decluar's younger sister, and go in a maze that takes him straight to Voldemort when he gets to the cup. In the fifth book he starts his own secret society named Dumbledores Army, deal with a new teacher who has cruel punishments and works for the minisrty, goes into the ministry of magic only to fight Death eaters and Voldemort and ends up coming out with his godfather Sirius Black dying, in the sixth book he goes with Dumbledore to a lake where Voldemort grew up and find a horcruxe a piece of the soul, and when they return Dumbledore ends up getting killed. in the seventh book he does so much that it is hard to write it all btu the best part is when he kills Voldemort and when he marries Ginny!! All in all the characters all matter and if you like one then you have to like another because the are all tyed together!!! I love Harry Potter hnads down and winning this contest would mean so much to me, I have all the books, movies, and CD's and listen to them on a daily basis please pick me I have been waiting for this movie to come out!!!

Hagrid is the best character because he is the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). He loves animals, especially dragons, and is always nice. Hagrid wins hands-down.

Snape, of course. What perfect casting! The most evil actor in history playing a man pretending to be evil. Now that's genius! As for the tickets, I could lie and say they're for my grandson but actually this little old white-headed 77-year-old is a terminally devoted fan of Harry Potter. So let your conscience be your guide and pick me.

Snape is my hero.

Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him.

I WOULD DIE FOR THESE TICKETS! (:
and Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him.

IF YOU PICK ME I'LL WEAR MY SPECIAL HARRY POTTER SHIRT AND LIGHTING BOLT! (: (: (:
& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

K I swear this will be the last one...for awhile (: but I really really love HP.

And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

Prof. Lupin of course. He is a sad character, a good guy that has to put up with being a werewolf. His greatest fear being the moon and yet he loves Harry and guides him in quest of destroying Voldermort.

Everyone, the good and the bad. They have grown from characters in a book to being real. The whole world of Harry seems real. When you put down the books or turn off the movies you can't help but wonder about those characters we have all come to love and loath.

Well...let's see, My 10 yr old likes Harry (three halloweens & no new costume) my 8 yr old son has a crush on Hermoine, My 6 yr old likes the whole Weasley family, and my 4 yr old just cannot decide. The family consensus is that WE'VE GOT TO SEE THIS FILM!

My boys and I want to see this. pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease pick us...(I like Snape, but my kids think I am like Hagrid)

I love Ron Weasley!! He has matured so much and he's hillarious. He makes the funniest jokes and can be so sarcastic. Ron has such bad luck and everything goes wrong for him. But in the end he has the most amazing friends, Harry and Hermione, and everything turns out great. He is the greatest best friend ever. He looks out for Harry and would do anything for him. Everyone wants a friend like him!!

I am absolutely in love with Harry Potter! But if I have to choose Ron Weasly. He has such humor and always seems to have such bad luck. My favorite experience with him in the movies, was when he was trying to protect Hermione from evil Malfoy and he ended up cursing himself with a spell that made him puke up slugs. That was also one of the first times when he proved to the audience that he was very protective of Hermione and he was falling for her. Even though he never seemed to admit it. I also love his connection with Hermione. They always seem to be arguing about something, but when they are together on screen, you can just feel the chemistry.
So I really hope you pick me. I feel that I proved to you that I really am a HUGE Harry Potter fan.

I have enjoyed watching the progression of Harry Potter's owl. That and Hermione.

My favorite character is Harry. I was Harry at Halloween two years in a row. It was a blast. Can't wait to see the movie. the book was awesome wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Really want to go. I like Mrs. Weasly. Funny, powerful and sweet. Don't mess with her!!

Harry, Hermoine, and Ron! They are the best when together and the just wouldn't be the same apart. Sounds cheesy I know.. but it's true! xD

Arthur Weasley. You gotta love his interest in all things Muggle. Yep Arthur's the man.

I like Peaves the Poltergeist and thought they should have worked him in somehow. Maybe on the last one.

Okay, so I really haven't been reading the books but I do like the movies! lol

Annd my favorite character would have to be Hagrid. :D

I adore Luna. She is so bizarre and different, and yet there is something mysterious quality that just shines through. And despite having lost her mother, she has a positive outlook on life. When training for Dumbledores army, we see that her patronous is a hare, and according to a quiz I took my patronous is a hare. And she is charming and cute....Must be the gnargles messing with my brain.

If I do get the tickets, I'll show up with my exact replica of Harry's wand.

Soooooo it's 2:38 in the morning and what am I doing? oh trying to win Harry Potter tickets of course (:(:(:
& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

P.S-Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!

If could only pick one it would be Doby the elf. He loved Harry. It made me cry the way everyone so reverently dressed him when he died.

I have taken my niece to every midnight movie premier since the second film and every midnight book premiere since the third book. I adore Ron but she is a Luna fan all the way. She wants to dress as Luna this year and I can't wait to see what she does with her earrings! My nephew used to come with us but now that he is in High School he is to cool. I love that my niece hasn't grown out of Harry Potter and is so excited for the new movie! She will be so excited if we won the tickets!!!

Sirius Black is my all-time favorite character. Gary Oldman plays a perfect Sirius, his scenes are always my favorite.

From the Half-Blood prince, I would have to say my favorite character is Dumbeldore. His dynamic changes w/ Harry and those are the scenes I'm most excited to see.

This would be a great treat for my husband and me. We are long overdue for a date night (we have a 1 year old daughter). Our last date has been about 1 year.

Duuuuuude, seeing Harry Potter before anyone else? I'm game! We're like, bros for life, dude. Never realized it before, but you can trust Snape. Me and him are cool now. Even though I've never read all the books, or even read them thoroughly, I am so amped to win this! All you hardcore Harry Potter fans, go easy on me. Don't drag me down with your bad vibes, dudes. I've seen all the movies, plus I need something to do. Aside from all the volleyball tourneys, it's turning out to be a bogus summer.

Well I would have to say Ginnny is my favorite character. She really starts to shine through in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She Also, in this movie starts to come out of her shell of being a Harry Potter fan and being in the background. The next character would be Harry. Harrry's transition in this movie is going to be very big, he has to deal with Sirius being gone and also take on new bravery as he helps Dumbledore.

My favorite character would have to be Dumbledore. I've always liked him ever since that huge magic fight in the fourth Harry Potter movie against Voldemort.

I like the Weasley family.

I would say Snape is my favorite because we don't really know where he stands. Is he good or evil?

Sirius Black is my favorite character. I love him because at forst we all think he is purely evil. Even Harry is afraid of him because he thinks Sirius killed his parents. I love how it turns out he's a good guy! Harry's godfather and James' best friend. Its too bad he didnt make it through the entire series, but I love him anyway.

I would love to see Harry Potter movie tickets. I've seen all his movies and read all his books also. My favorite person in the movie is Harry Potter.

My favorite was Cedric Diggory, he was very popular but didn't take advantage of it. He was also nice to Harry. He was very noble and honorable

My favorite character is absolutely Hermione. She is quietly brave, unabashedly geeky, and pals around with two boys instead of dealing with the prissy girls in Gryffindor.

Hermoine,in my opinion,is the best character because she is determined,assured,intelligent,and she believes in doing what she knows is right.I relate to Hermoine the most in the Harry Potter series because my friends say I am way too obsessed with school.
I love Ron's sarcasm!He is so funny in the books and the movies.Fred and George have to be the most hilarious characters in the entire series!
My entire family admires the Harry Potter series. According to them, the Harry Potter books are the best books ever written.
I never cry when I read books,even if they're sad,but the Harry Potter series is the only book series that's ever made me cry.

I am THE BIGGEST HP fan!! I pretty much love all the characters, but the budding romance between Harry and Ginny is by far the cutest! I am also a huge fan of Hermione. I would love, love, love to win tix to see the movie early! Thanks, Brooke Juarez

I like Dumbledore, he has always been my favorite character. I like him because he has never doubted Harry.

My favorite character is Hermonie

My favorite person would have to be Hermione. She is so smart for the most part. I truthfully love all the Weasleys especially Fred and George. When the trio of Harry, Hermione and Ron are on the same page together they have an unique chemistry that they truly make the movies what they are.
J.K. Rowlings has a fantastic writing style and it is awesome they way that the story flows.

My favorite characters are George and Fred. They are the coolest members of the Weasley family. They are funny and not afraid to get in trouble. Plus, I like how they mess with Ron.

My favorite character is Luna Lovegood. I like that she is very unique and that she doesn't care that most people think she's weird. She seems to be in her own little world most of the time. I also like that she gives off this sort of peaceful vibe.

I like Mr. and Mrs. Weasley -- Molly tries to mother everybody, and Arthur has such funny magical things.

My favorite character in the Harry Potter series would have to be Fred Weasley. He's a great role model in how to have fun! Somewhat responsible and always there for comic relief, he is the best.

I definitely have to say one of my all time favorite characters is Dumbledore. Especially in the sixth book where we learn so much more about the history behind Voldemort and Dumbledore, he provides a character that is serious, yet still is comedic and can lighten any mood.

Dumbledore is my favorite character. He always has a twinkle in his eye, and he knows things no one else knows. He is always on the side of good.

My favorite character is probably Fred Weasley. I like George, too, but Fred's funny!

I love Dobby. He makes me cry!

My favorite character is Doby, he will show his true love for Harry at the end of the series.

I really love Professor Trelawney. I thought she was an interesting character in the books, and I love how snarky her personality is. :)

Hermione is awesome since we both have very similar bookworm personalities
Luna is cool because of her uniqueness, although she can be awkward sometimes

I love the Harry potter series
CANNOT wait to see the movie!!

I have ALL the movies books and Audiotapes! I can't wait to see this movie!!!I love all the characters but my favorite was Sirius Black. He had such a rebellious personality! He didn't care that he was pure-blood, rich, and came from a Slytherin home. He was a true Griffindor until the end. My other favorites are definately Ginny, Neville, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, Bellatrix (she made the perfect evil villan), Malfoy (his character had such a story), and Magonagol (because she reminds me of my mom)!

One of my favorites is Albus Dumbledore.

You gotta love Lucious Malfoy. Every story needs a good villain and he fits that well. Not a nice bone in his body.

Hermoine is indeed my favorite character. She is smart and brave. She stands up for what she believes in and has no trouble to give her own voice. Hermoine reminds me alot of, well me. I stick up for what i believe in and usually dont care what people think. Hermoine stands by everything she says. She works hard on studying so she knows her magic. I love the Harry Potter series and i think she did an excellent job on writing them. I cant wait to see the movie!

My favorite HP character is Neville Longbottom.

even at 63 years of age i have read all seven books, seen and bought all the movies, and can harly wait to see the the last movie sad to say.
hard to belive how grown up they look. Emma watson enjoys fly fishing from what i have read about her. i my self love fly fishing. it's an art if you can master it. Daniel, and Rupert are and will be my heros. to bad this has to end. i just hope none of the main guys die. just in case Mrs . k changes her mind...

EVEN AT AGE 62 I ENJOYED ALL SEVEN BOOKS AND MOVIES. TO BAD IT HAS TO COME TO AN END. JUST HOPE NONE OF THE MAIN GUYS DIE IN THIS LAST MOVIE, JUST IN CASE MRS. K. CHANGES HER MIND.
EMMA W. LOVES FLY FISHING FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT HER. I TO ENJOY FLY FISHING, IT'S AN ART WHEN YOU MASTER IT. DANIEL, EMMA AND RUPERT ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY HEROS. THEY SURE LOOK GROWN UP NOW. WATCHING THEIR MOVIES THEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY. CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN...

I've always loved Hermione, just because of her witty, smart-alack, comebacks. She knows her strengths and who she is. That's what makes her a great character.

I love Harry Potter! I have all the books and can't wait for the movie :) My favorite characters are the Weasley twins. They are sooo fun!

can't wait to see the movie, finally

Harry's my favorite character.
I want to win tickets so badly!

My favorite character out of the Harry Potter series is Hagrid. I like Hagrid because he is very sentimental and sensitive. He tends to see the good in everyone and cares for the creatures that live in the forbidden forest, like Aragog.

i grew up with the kids at hogwartz!!! dumbledore was the best, and i was devestated when he was lost):

I love Hermione. She is very smart and pretty. I like how she puts Harry and Ron in their place when needed. I also like that she'll stand up for what she believes. For example, when Harry used the Potion book from the Half-Blood Prince she advised him not to, but Harry wouldn't listen. She kept insisting until her point was proven right.

My favorite Harry Potter book/movie was Prisoner of Askaban because it had a great plot and it had a pretty positive ending. With Dumbledore dying in The Half Blooded Prince, it left me feeling pretty down and out, even more so than Sirius Black dying - one of my favorite characters. It was a great story, but the dark side coming out on top at the end was a bit hard to swallow. After Sirius died, Lupin became my favorite living character. He represents the resiliency of the human spirit to triumph over evil, even in the most difficult of personal tribulations. Harry Potter has so much to teach us all, especially the students with which I work.

My favorite character will have to be ronald weasley. He's not that rich but still, hes a really great friend. I think Rubert Grint made a great ronald weasley.

(: I love harry potter and I love the Fresno Bee, and how great is that to have people who love both in one theatre (: great idea!

& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

Kingsley Shacklebolt! From reading the book I feel that he was one of the most powerful wizards, right after Dumbledore. Not to mention he is a leader of the resistance in Book 7 & become Minister of Magic in the conclusion of the series. Plus, as an Auror, he had a cool job!

I'm a big fan of Harry Potter movies and my son also. Hopefully I get choosen to win those tickets and be able to take my son.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING (:

& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

I would have to say Ron, because I like his dimwittedness. It makes him funny

Actually, I like Ron. He’s a bit more mischievous than Harry. He’s always the one getting into trouble

My favorite character in HP probably has to be Ron Weasley. He is a great quirky character that is always fun to read about. I just love his interaction with Hermione. I am a hopeless romantic and will forever root for Ron and Hermione. As you can imagine, I was salivating to see them get together finally in the last book. I just loved it! Here's to Ron Weasley...the cutest red head in fictional history!!

And just to give myself another chance at the win, second would be Sirius Black. I wish his character had been developed more in both books and especially movies. I like that he was one of few that didn't want to keep Harry in the dark about what was going on. A lot of other characters spent a lot of time trying to hide things from Harry, but Sirius just thought he should know the truth.

I love Hagrid. He is a most true and loyal friend and would do anything for those he loves. He is smarter than he is given credit and who can resist someone who loves dragons?

Wow this is a ridiculous amount of comments. Congrats on the turn out. Hopefully I win!!

I'm so traditional... its hard for me to choose among the original threesome (Harry, Hermione, and Ron).

Harry, F.T.W!

Oooooooooh I can't wait to see this!

I love Hagrid. He's such a gentle giant with a great big heart!

My favorite character is defiently ron weasley!!!!I love his red hair and how he is always by harry's side. He also has an amazing, funny family.

Luna Lovegood would also have to be one of my favorite characters because of her out-of-this-world style and personality. I love how she doesn't care what people think and she is always her weird, cool self! :)

I like Snape. He loved Lily, and only protected Harry because of it. I felt bad for him when Harry's dad tormented him. But Snape has a gentle heart.

Draco the slimy

Ron Weasley! I hope I win!

I always have to go with Ron Weasley. He is just too cute not to love. I was also a geek so I appreciate Hermione...

Ron is one of my favorite characters, I actually like his entire family -- even his rather dumb older brother. I love the twins!

AND ON MY LUNCH AT BREAKKKK (: (: (:
& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named".

Ok another favorite character of mine is the young Voldemort is pretty awesome. I mean the way he was able to get Professor Slughorn to tell him about the horcruxes... You have to give him some credit. His way with words and persuasive abilities are top notch. I know he was bad but he was really good at it!

I like Hermione because she is not afraid to show off her intelligence.

Hermione is my favorite character because she's so smart and confident! She tends to show everyone up on what they say/do.

i love harry potter and im so excided for the movie. I love ron because he so funny. he has a wonderful personality and hes just a dork. I love it. But hermonie is still my favorite.

My favorite HP character is definitely Ginny Weasley. She's kind of an underdog at the beginning of the series. The people in her life just see her as this petite/quiet girl but you finally get to see her shine in the fifth book. She turns out to be stronger than most people thought.

I like Harry, Ron and Hermione. I actually like all the characters really :p

I am sooo excited about the new movie!!! I have read all the books and seen all the movie to date!!!

I like Dumbledore and Harry in this book. Lots of adventure between them two.

Luna Lovegood is a personal favorite for her creativity and because she doesn't care what others think.

My favorite character is Hagrid. He introduces great creatures into the story always with mixed results.

I also love genny she so quit at first and ten she really opens up and we get to see her open up more and speak her mind.

Yay for Harry Potter! My favorite characters, (plural because "How can you just choose one?!")are Dobby, the Twins! (two for one), and Neville (the hero in disguise)... ahhh, so many to choose from...

I really love Dumbledore in Half Blood Prince. He Battled inferi and he was in the book more! Oh, are tthe tickets for a certain city?

I really like Harry Potter. He is brave and mentally strong. He cares very much for everyone close to him and he would do anything for his friends.

I am so excited about the movie!! I love the Weasley family!

Neville Longbottom is the best. Someone who has had so much sadness in his life, I love that he gets to find something he loves to do and be a success.

ITS MaGiC!!!

Fred and George Weasley. I'm a sucker for a guy in a Quidditch uniform.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Luna Lovegood!! I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE tickets to see the movie!!!

i have been waiting for this movie for what seems like forever!
i would love to get some free tickets, though i am a cheap fan, i am also an avid harry potter fan as well :D
if i don't win this, i'll see you at the midnight premeire!

to keep up with the theme:
my favorite characters are ron, fred, and george- i'm a big fan of comic relief :)

my favorite person is harry potter. he the one that make the movie what it is. all movie been good but this one looks like it takes the cake

My favorite character is Hermoine. I just love her and how she plays out. She's really not afraid to do anything.

My favorite character is Dumbledore. He's like the head coach of a sports team. He knows the players on his team and he knows how to put them into the best positions to win the game (beating Voldemort) but along the way is there to teach life lessons and foster growth.

I'm fond of Mrs Weasley. She rules the house with an iron fist.

Hermoine Granger is very amusing. I think she's played well by Emma Watson.

May I just say that I'm going to lose it if I don't see this movie soon. I love the Harry Potter movies. I keep replacing them with newer formats. Hope blu-ray lasts. I just got those. Seriously though, tickets would be zweet.

I LOVE HARRY POTTER I LOVE HARRY POTTER

& Dumbledore is my favorite character in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I really like how he tries to help Harry and he sacrifices a lot for him. And he is a comedic character even when there are serious moment he can lighten up the mood because himself is the only comparable wizard to "he who must not be named"

Do we need to post a new comment for each drawing, or does the first one count for all of them?

Still, I hope I win. I really hope the include the scene with Luna commentating on the Quidditch match. Probably one of my favorite scenes of the book.

My favorite character is Dumbledorf, he's a mentor, yet a father figure to Harry in so many ways. He guides him along the path of right, yet also lets him choose his own way, and when he goes astray, using magic in ways he shouldn't, He's right there to set him back upon the path of righteousness.

My favorite character is Professor Snape. I enjoy his lethargic, monotonous, deep voice as well as the way he manages to hate pretty much everyone, yet somehow he manages to remain loyal to Dumbledore (even if he did what he did). He was bullied when he was younger, and I can relate to that.

I would like Snape even more if I got the free tickets :D

I love Lupin - He's such a good person. Remember how kind he always was to Neville!
Tickets would REALLY be GREAT!

I love Lupin - He's such a good person. Remember how kind he always was to Neville!
Tickets would REALLY be GREAT!

In my mind, Snape is the most "real" character in the entire Harry Potter universe.
He's the most three dimensional, having both evil and good in him.
He had a tortured childhood (as seen in the memories Harry snuck into), make some really bad choices in his early adulthood,
and repented.

While not my absolute favorite character, Hagrid is also ONE of my favorites.
He is just so big, loyal and loveable, like a big old teddy bear. He's proof of the existence of "gentle giants".
And I think, in my opinion, that there were none more devoted to Dumbledore than Hagrid

I have loved the books since before i could read!!!!!! My mom read them to me when i was little as my bed time story!! The first one came out in 1997 and my mom got her hands on it right away and at that time i was only 3 so we read it together. I remember I would go around preschool shouting spells and then have to go sit in time out...... I did crazy things because i loved harry so much!!!!! My favorite character has always been Hermione!!!!! that was almost the first word i said...... sadly mama came before and a whole two years...... and then i said it!!! :)

I adore Hermione Granger not just because she is the dynamic female but because she taught me when i was little that it is ok to be smart. I also love Neville Longbottom because he can be corky and wierd at times like me but still really smart. Ron Weasley just because hes a red head and it is a proven fact that all red heads are cool!!! Sirius Black is awesome because he taugh all of us that you can know in your heart that your good even if everyone else tries to prove you wrong and that you can be the first person to break out of Askaban! :) I also love Harry Potter because not only does he fight evil in every book (he who must not be named; Voldemort), He also has to go through the dungeons at Hogwarts but has to get past a three headed dog named Fluffy, try not to get killed by vines, find a key that flys in the air that is mixed up with a thousand other keys, play wizard chess life-sized, and fight Voldemort being on the back of Professor Quierell's head, and trying to protect the Socerer's Stone. All in the first book!! In the second book he has to turn in to another person by Poly juice potion, go into the Chamber of Secrets, talk in snake tounge, save Ginny Weasley (his future wife),fight Tom Riddle the young version of Voldemort, kill a diary, and stab a Basilisk with the sword of Griffindor!! In the third book his life is pretty calm for him and he has only three issues other than school, Ron's pet rat Scabbers turns into Peter Pettigrew a follower of Voldemort, Sirius Black, and Professor Lupin turning in to a Werewolf!! In the fourth book he has to deal with a new teacher named Mad Eye Moody who turns out being a death eater who drank Poly Juice Potion, compete in the Triwizard Tournament ment for 17 year olds and he is only 14, fight a dragon, rescue Ron and Fluer Decluar's younger sister, and go in a maze that takes him straight to Voldemort when he gets to the cup. In the fifth book he starts his own secret society named Dumbledores Army, deal with a new teacher who has cruel punishments and works for the minisrty, goes into the ministry of magic only to fight Death eaters and Voldemort and ends up coming out with his godfather Sirius Black dying, in the sixth book he goes with Dumbledore to a lake where Voldemort grew up and find a horcruxe a piece of the soul, and when they return Dumbledore ends up getting killed. in the seventh book he does so much that it is hard to write it all btu the best part is when he kills Voldemort and when he marries Ginny!! All in all the characters all matter and if you like one then you have to like another because the are all tyed together!!! I love Harry Potter hnads down and winning this contest would mean so much to me, I have all the books, movies, and CD's and listen to them on a daily basis please pick me I have been waiting for this movie to come out!!! It would mean alot to me to win this contest because there has been so many tradgedies in my family lately and my cousin is turning 16 soon and i would love to give these tickets to him!!!!!

Woo! Thanks for the tickets!

My favorite characters from this blog? Erin and Amanda. Persistance and despiration, personafied. I do believe they are worthy of some sort of Honorable Mention or something.

Ps: I'm pulling for a Potter/Grainger presidential bid in 2016. Palin, watch out.

My favorite character has got to be Malfoy's dad...he keeps the drama up and gives you a perfect reason to hates someone! hahahha

thanks for the tickets!!!!

THANK U THANK U THANK U THANK U SO MUCH! GOODLUCK EVERYBODY AND CONGRATS IF U WON!

My favorite is Hermione. I think she and Harry should be together,which is why i don't like Ginny...

I would have to agree that Hermione is my favorite character. She is a great heroine. She is smart, has a great sense of humor, regularly solves problems, and compliments the personalities of both Ron and Harry. Although I also like Sirius Black. When I adopted a big black puppy last year I named him Sirius.

OMGGGGG I WON! ! ! (: THE FRESNO BEE ROCKS! (: (:

good luck to everyone else! (:

What's the best thing to do while one waits for the next movie in the series comes out, and one has read, and reread, all the books? Why - listen to Stephen Fry read them aloud, of course!

Looking forward to the Half-Blood Prince now that Fry has so wonderfully refreshed my memory of the book!

my two favorite characters are harry and ginny, harry for being brave and the willingness to surpass any obstical, ginny cus is stong independent woman who will win harry's heart in the end

My daughters are looking forward to seeing the next movie in the series. Been a great run with the books and now the movies.

I think that Professor McGonagall is one of the best characters in the book. She always had Harry's best interest at heart, was very loyal, and when necessary, she knew when to break the rules too.

I want 2 see Harry Potter the Half-Blooded Prince so bad i been wanting 2 see the movie from the day the boook came out and i finished reading the book. O would Love to see the movie so bad. So please.

i like the character that does magic. i don't really want to win the tickets, but if i do i'm going to collect my tickets and then not go to the movie.

Dude, why no love for Severus Snape?! Why's everyone gotta be a goody-to-shoes?

WOOT! Thank You!

I just finished reading this book and my favorite character is Snape.

my favorite harry potter character would have to be hermione. Shes so old fashioned and intelligent. Harry and ron would never survive without her brains. Hermione always knows what to do and when to do it. I wish i could be like her!

I like Sirius. He is so cool with his bike. I love how he took in
Buckbeak. Its to bad he passed on =(

oh i want to win this so bad! I am going to lose it if i dont win! I love harry potter and his owl! Hedgewig is the coolest owl

I love Dumbledore! He is so nice and sweet to Harry!

I like Hagrid he is very personal and loves Harry.

I have a mad crush on Hermione, but that's probably because of the girl that I had a crush on in high school reminds me of her…

Dumbledore is my favorite. He's old, but still has plenty of new tricks up his sleeves.

There are so many amazing characters in the series, but my favorites are Fred and George Weasley. They don't get much screen time in the movies, but they are too adorable in the books. Hopefully they will be a bit more central to this latest film...

I like Dumbledore best. He is funny, caring, yet intimidating at the same time. He is someone that Harry looks up to as a friend and also as a father figure. Dumbledore is always there for the people he cares for.....even when they don't know it!!!

I love Ron. He's just absolutely halarious and always seems not there so much, that's just like how I am!

My favorite character ever in the Harry Potter series is Cedric Diggory. I absolutely love him. I was so crushed when he had to die :( Also, I loved it that Rob Pattinson played him :) I love Rob and he was the perfect cast for the character! He played him so well. Cedric FTW!

I'll put my name in the hat.. not necessarily because I'm dying to see this movie, but more importantly it would make the significant other totally happy. And that my friends is ALWAYS a good thing.

I actually love all of the characters because I relate to all of them. I would love to win tickets also cause it means that I would get to see one of my most favorite movies that I've been waiting for to long to see. I cant wait for them all to com out to dvd because I'm gona rebuy all seven of the movies and rebuy a second copy of all seven books. Please pick me to win tickets to see Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince on my birtday July 13. I love Harry and his friends and cant wait to see the rest of the last to movies to come out.

I have always loved Hermione Granger. I love it when a female character is not ashamed to be intelligent and smart. Hermione is the brains behind much of what happens in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Harry has got a lot of courage and determination, but he would be spinning his wheels if it weren't for Hermione! And don't forget that Hermione must have plenty of courage herself to be sorted into Gryffindor.

Snape, he's a hottie :)

Harry Potter is such an awesome and incredible journey. JK Rowling was brilliant for having created such a great story. There are soooo many interesting characters that each all have their own unique quirks and bits to add, but I'd have to say my 2 favorite characters are Dobby and Ron. Poor dobby gets mistreated by malfoy and his family as their slave and is happy when harry treats him with kindness and ends up freeing him. And he trys his best to help protect harry. Ron is really funny. Sometimes he seems like he has absolutely no clue about what is going on but he is one of harry's loyal and true friends and would do anything to help him.

WooHoo!!

I hope i win..... I like dumbledore in the fifth book where he dissapears when the ministry comes for him....

I write for a youth magazine called the kNOw, we now have six issues out and I was thinking bout doing a movie review. I want to write a movie review on Harry Potter from a youth perspective. I also believe that every chacter in the movie relates to everybody but more to all of the youth. To me Harry is brave and strong, Ron is responsible and true to his friends, and Hermoine is the smart/intelligent one and then u got everybody else that has a uniqness and when u put them all together u get a huge family that fights,sticks together and that will always be together.The Harry Potter movies and books are inspirational to me and I hope to everybody else that sees that good always over comes the darkness/evilness.

It's a toss up for me between the twins and their brilliant inventions, and Luna and her kookiness. The twins make me laugh every time and I think they could not have cast them better. Looney Luna is such a sweetie, and her spaciness is so funny!

I have see all of the episodes of Harry Potter as well as my best friend. I really enjoy watching it as there are lots of interesting actions that occur. It would be awesome if I could win some tickets. My favorite actors are Hermoine Granger and Harry Potter. YAHOOOOOO.

Well let me tell you I have enjoyed reading and watching this trio of friends grow up. My favorites outside of the 3 main are Cedric Digory and the house elf. The whole thing is great oh yeah I am a 50 something gma who has read all the books to her grandchildren more than once and they too have seen all the movies with me. We all love the HP now my oldest thinks Hermine is HOT

I've read the Harry Potter books---so now would like to see at least one of the movies.
Thanks for offering the movie tickets.

Luna Lovegood is my number two favorite character. She just has her own agenda, and she is doesn't waver in her beliefs. Not to mention she is funny!

I just love Roonil Wazlib...don't remember him? Go back and read chapter "Sectamsempra".
Please, please, please send tickets this way.

i really want to see this!

Each time I read a comment about a favorite character I think, "They have a point, that character is really awesome!" I believe this means the J.K. Rowling wrote a wonderful series of books with complex and evolving characters. Having reread the entire series many times I am still amazed at the level of detail throughout the series. Ms. Rowling writes about events in the first and second book that do not come to light until the sixth or seventh book. It takes a truly talented author to accomplish this.

Pick me!

The Harry Potter books were very well written. I enjoy reading and I have read these books three times since the last one came out. J.K. Rowlings did a wonderful job on keeping all her timelines in order. My favorite people are the Dursleys. I like them because they can't face reality. They know - yet they refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Petunias' jelousy of her sister is very true in a lot of families. Their treatment of Harry echos how things are in many households today.

Fred and George are by far my favorite. Their down for anything, thier HILARIOUS, and their always inventing crazy stuff!!

I'm so psyched to see this movie! I can't get enough of Harry Potter! When the 1st book came out there was such a buzz about it that I had to find out for myself what everyone was talking about. I read it and I was hooked. I eagerly anticipated the release of every novel and I was never disappointed. They got better and better each time! I loved seeing the characters develop and evolve and I loved escaping into the magical wizarding realm that Rowling created.
Usually I feel that novel-based films don't do the books justice. With Harry Potter this was just not so. The actors and actresses in the Potter films have been spot-on to what I had envisioned them to be. The same wonderful escape from reality I experienced when reading the books followed me to the big screen. You couldn't ask for a better cast!
Rowling amazed me with her attention to detail. That's what made it so real and so addicting to me. She really brought the characters and the wizarding world to life!
When I talk about Harry Potter I speak as if everything Rowling created is real. A lot of people think I'm a nerd because of it but I always tell them, "Before you say anything, GO READ THE BOOKS!"
I've read and re-read the books several times over. The same goes for for the movies. I just can't get enough of them! I've seen them countless times and have shared them with both my children who are also huge Potter fans!! While other kids are pretending to be Hannah Montana and Spiderman, my kids are always playing "Harry Potter." My son pretends to be Harry Potter and my daughter plays Hermione Granger :) We are so excited to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!!!!

My daughter keeps begging me to blog more because she wants to go see the movie so much. She read the entire series in first grade and has continued to reread them off and on. My whole family loves the books and the movies. They are a wonderful series, well written and a great story!

I like Ron cause he always has something funny and witty to say.

This is a wonderful series, and it is so great for us to have such a great bit of literature for youth/adults to anticipate and enjoy.....it's all good!

Thanks for the tickets!!!

Ginny Weasley is my favorite! Even thought she is the youngest of six brothers she can still stand up for herself. And she marries Harry((:

Nice! I'm fairly new to Fresno (Clovis) and just started reading the Bee/Beehive.

I'd have to say Harry is my favorite...

I would agree. Read the books! I just re-read 6 and 7 so it would be fresh prior to seeing the movie. I will say my least favorite character in the movies is Dobby. I do think they did a very good job casting and creating Voldemort in the movie. Personal favorite character is.... Ginny for spunk.

Harry has become an aggressive leader and his head on approach to fighting evil is inspiring to the real world made up of to many shades of gray!

Harry and Hermione are so great. I can't wait to see the movie.

I have always love Dobby.....he is so cute with his big ol'eyes and ears. I'm so glad Harry paid him back by setting him free from the Malfoy family. He is awesome!

I love Harry Potter! I have read the series countless times and I own all of the movies so far. I have been dying to see HBP since it was suposed to come out last year!! My favorite characters are the Weasly twins. I love the part in the fifth book when they make that swamp in the corridor. That was hilarious!!! please pick me!!!!!

I love Harry Potter!! I have never missed an opening night nor the arrival of the book at the bookstore. I would love tickets!!

Hagrid is definitely my favorite. He might not be the most intellectual, but he knows a lot about life, the wizard world, and Hogwarts. He always speaks from experience, the heart and the truth. I very much respect people like him. He makes the movie so real to me.

My brother, Michael, once called to say he was reading Harry Potter before me because of the time difference in Germany.

I would say Mr. Longbottom is one of my favorites - as the story has developed, he has become stronger and more effective in fighting evil. He is a great role model to those of us who are not always the best at what we do. Greatly looking forward to the movie

I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Beehive!

Looking forward to seeing the movie as is my family. My younger sister turned me on to Harry Potter after the first movie... loved it since...

Scabbers hs got to be so underappreciated in rat form that I'll vote for him.

We are ready to see the new Harry Potter Movie at the IMax!!

i miss dobby.

Who could not love the spiders!!!

I love all of the characters, but one of my favorites is Luna, she marches to a different drummer.

I am a HUGE fan on Severus Snape - I can't wait to see his back story.

I have read all the books, and Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood are my favorites. I love all the darkness in Phoenix, and I love the gritty details in HBP.

Wow, is this going to surpass the Watchmen X-Box giveaway as the comments champion?

I love Dumbledore!
He is so mysterious and
likes Harry!
I hope i win!
Please pick me!

Ok, so who's going to the 2010 opening of The Harry Potter theme park in Orlando! I'll be there proudly wearing my Slytherin scarf!

Harry Potter is so cool!
He is so humble. I wish
he would of chosen Hermione
instead of Ginny though...

Ginny Weasley is so awesome!
I love how she is the
toughest in her family
but she is the youngest
also. Go Ginny!

I love most of the characters but one of my favorites are the twins Fred and George. They are so funny and interesting and get into so much trouble. I also love Snape there's just so much more too him than we generally get to see.
Lorie

I have a few favorites from the movies and books. Even as an adult the characters are great role models for kids. Harry meets his challenges with full force. He gives it his all. Because he realizes if he tries hard he will succeed one way or another. Hermione is great because she is a role model also to you women to keep striving for what is best for her. Meet challenges as them come and do your best to overcome them. And of course the teachers are all great because the kids really have to work at their studies and be disipline about who they will become. I really like how Harry and his friends, Hermione, Ron and the rest stick together to help each other succeed. Albus Dumbledore is a great person helping keept the kids on the right track without smoothing them. And of course J.K. Rowling is a great writer to come up with these stories and stretch the minds of kids. It helped improve my sons reading level when he was young. Can't wait to see the movies.

Hagrid!

He will always have Harry's back.
Hagrid has a good heart and is loyal.

Ron Weasley is probably my most favorite, because he's so stinkin funny, but actually, to pick a favorite is like asking someone to pick their favorite person in their family. You just can't do it because you love them all differently, and for different reasons. And Harry and Company are like family, and that's what made the end of the series so so hard to take. I cried. and I felt genuine sadness. And I still miss them. I'm so excited for the movie!

I'm so excited about the movie that I watched the new TV Series "Merlin" just to see the extended Harry Potter "Trailer" advertised with the show. (By the way...Merlin is excellent, particularly if you're a Harry Potter fan.)

Snape intrigues me...and to be honest could only rely on Dumbledore testimony that he was a former Death Eater.

My favorite character has to be Snape - he is the most complex, intriguing and relatably human character in the Harry Potter saga. He is motivated by love and by loyalty, and he is braver than most, but he is still flawed - we see that every millisecond in his treatment of Harry. Snape proves that you can't easily judge people though, and he is also is an outstanding example of how love can triumph over evil (take that, Voldemort!) even when evil is so tempting.

My daughter and I have waited so long for this. It's our last big mother/daughter event before she leaves to study abroad for a year! We are so excited!!!!

the whole series was a delight.
the inclusion of mythical creatures help flesh out the world.
the relationship between Dumbledor & harry Really got a good build up and it was sad to see dubledor die in order to sacrafice himself.
i also was disapointed when siris died and of course harry always has to bea the insurmountable odds since he is he title character.
The films have been as true as posible to the books and the castings has been great.

Hello everyone!!

I think i'm finding out about this contest kinda late but I would have to say that my favorite character from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince would have to be Ginny Weasley or Snape. Simply because J.K. portrays the humanity of Snape in this book. We learn that there is more to him than meets the eye. And Ginny has always been my favorite because I was always rooting for her and Harry to pair up :D They look like James and Lily together :)) its perfect!!

I love the whole Weasley family. The parents are down to earth, not your rich snobby family, and genuinely concerned for each other and the wizzarding world. Yet they can stand up for themselves when they need to, they can get aggressive when defending their family or friends. The kids are all wonderful kids, especially the twins. They have always been my favorites. Their comedic exchanges lighten up the mood.

My favorite is Sirius. Of course being charged as a murderer when you are innocent was sad. But I love the way how he suddenly came into Harry's life and still cared about him so much. The first time I read the Order of the Phoenix I cried when Sirius died because I didn't want him to go. But of course, he died for Harry..

My favorite is Hermione, I seem to feel a connection to her.

I'm surprised....there's not that much love for Dumbeldore!! This book was my favorite of the series because of how much he is in it.

Fresno Bee is AWESOME for doing this contest. There are a lot of people out there who can't afford to go to a movie now days, especially with a family of 4. It's almost $50 just to see the movie.

We live 100 miles away. We'd go. In an instant. My sons were finally not afraid of Harry Potter, and just this year started reading him. The oldest is on book 4, the youngest on book 2.

This would be awesome!

My favorite character is Sirius Black. Just like Harry his life has been tragic. Both were affected by the murder of James and Lily Potter, both trapped and oppressed by their immediate environment (the Dursley's and Azkaban)and both targeted as bad people by the Daily Prophet despite their unparalleled greatness. His yearning for freedom is at once saddening and invigorating. His death both a tragedy and a celebration for his joyful release from a society that shunned and controlled him. To Sirius Black!

My favorite character is Ron's owl. He is hilarious. The best thing about Ron's owl is that he gets paid in mice and probably doesn't have too many requests/demands in his trailer. I just think that he really made the most of his scenes in the first movie. Great actor, really made me believe he was visually impaired.

My daughter enjoys Harry Potter stories. She read all of the books four times and watched the movies. We are planning to watch the movie for our celebration of both of our birthdays. My daughter enjoys the character Harry and she has a birthday in common with the actor who plays as Harry.

My favorite character from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is Hermione. My favorite part is when she takes McLaggen to Slughorn's Christmas party.

All the characters are amazing.

My favorite characters would be Ron and Sirius and Fred and George....
its hard to pick one.

Ron is so funny and a dork and he's grown but he's always been loyal and trusting.

Sirius was such a good father figure and added to the books well and helped Harry grow and even kind of get to know his dad through Sirius

Fred and George are really funny, smart, yet nice because they know where to draw the line in being funny. They've also stuck through the books

I love this series

Also Dumbledore because he is quirky and always been there for Harry. He helped Harry grow and understand his destiny as well as the other characters did for Harry.

Lupin as well

Oh! Tonks! I love her saying "Wotcher, Harry"

Malfoy has also added to it..

I'm sorry, they're all great

My daughter's introduced me to Harry Potter. My eldest has been OBSESSED with harry potter since it came out. All my daughters seem to enjoy the harry potter stories, and we are hoping to watch the movies together before my eldest leaves for college.

Potter for president. Need I say more?

Fred and George all the way!!!! Those two are insane, it's awesome!!

My favorite characters have to be Fred and George Weasley! I love their humor! My favorite quote is the poster they put on their store front, "Worried about You Know Who? You should be worried about You No Poo!"...hahahaha...classic!

Ginny Weasley is also one of my favorites!! After reading the Chamber of Secrets I knew they were going to hook up, eventually!! I just had this feeling!!

My wife is addicted to these books!! She read the last one in 3 days!! I had always just watched the movies with her, but she got me to read "Half Blooded Prince". I'm excited to see the movie, she says the books are always better but the movies are still really good. I hope I win, I would love to surprise her and tell her we're seeing some other movie and then see HP6.

Hello again!!

Actually! I forgot to mention...I think Slughorn is pretty halarious. I like the part at his party, where he invites Sanguini the vampire, and Luna entertains everyone with her bizarre knowledge. Haha they are a pretty funny bunch. Yep, just forgot to mention them. I think Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, were J.K.'s most creative. I only hope they did the book justice in the movie!!

I love harry potter! my big sisters got me into the books! my favorite one is harry! because he is cute and he always saves the day.

Cant wait to see the movie. Graphics look awesome

My daughters wanted me to write their favorite. They both like Ron. They think he's funny and he's a great friend to Harry. They've seen all the movies. My oldest is currently reading the "Goblet of Fire".

I love the part when Ron has two girls argueing over him exspeacialy when one girl is his friend Hermoine. I also love it when hes talking to Harry and says that the girls are going to kill him. To me it just shows that I was right for telling my mom that Ron is cute and funny becuase girls are attracted to him just as they are to Harry.

I don't really have a favorite character.
I have been a Harry Potter fan since the books came out. I have every book and every movie, and I am sad there are no more books, for now at least. I am really looking forward to the movie!

My favorite character in the Half-Blood Prince is Snape because he kills Dumbledore. FYI, i hated the new guy that plays Dumbledore. But it also adds a twist because Harry relies on him and goes to him for help, but now he has to either fund someone else to go to with that knowledge or he has to start figuring things out himself.

My son is 12 years old. He was diagnosed with Autism at age three. Just last year, he became very interested in watching and reading the Harry Potter movies and books. He is very excited about watching the Half-Blood Prince and has marked July 15 as the day the movie will come out. It would be a huge gift to my son if I were able to take him on July 13. Last October, my son choose to dress up as Harry. That was the first time he independently picked which character he wanted to be.

My favorite character is Dumbledore. He
is such a thoughtful,considerate,and caring person.

Hermione is awesome!!!
I think im a lot like her
she's super smart
And good in all that she does that learning/book related

I like Harry. He is the one that pulls the movie together.

Not to many like Harry. Why is that?

I am so excited about possibly getting the chance to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince before it hits theaters. I have been counting down the days for this movie to come out. I have read all the books and I own all the movies. I am a HUGE fan. My favorite character is Hermione. She is close friends with Harry and always uses her quick wit and encyclopaedic knowledge to help Harry and Ron. She is levelheaded, book-smart and is very good with logic. Please pick me!!

Harry Potter is my favorite character. You gotta love the Weasely twins though. They bring so much humor to the series.

I love Snape! Excuse me, that's "Professor Snape" - he is just so deliciously evil how can you not love him.

My daughter's favorite character is Hermione Granger. She aspires to be like her - studious, confident, witty, and level-headed. Plus, she thinks Hermione is "sooo beautiful." :)

I like Albus Dumbledore because he reminds me of Gandolf. Wizards ROCK!!!

TONKS! GOTTA LOVE TONKS! With a first name like Nymphadora, you can't go wrong.

I may not win doing it this way but I like the trio. Hermione, Ron, and Harry and the reason why is together they are unbeatable in all aspects. Harry with the power, Hermione with the smarts and Ron with the tactical knowledge. One of them alone couldn't have done what they all did as a group. When you have the trio together they are unbeatable in many aspects. My family has all the books in hard back and paper back. We also have all the movies and will get this one when it comes out.

GOOD EVENING! =)

My favorite character ever in the Harry Potter series is Cedric Diggory. I absolutely love him. I was so crushed when he had to die :( Also, I loved it that Rob Pattinson played him :) I love Rob and he was the perfect cast for the character! He played him so well. Cedric FTW!

i love to see harry potter .always read books but movie is better my kids also enjoy harry potter also.he what makes the movie so good

i would love to see harry potter my kids got me hip to his books and movie so i would enjoy watching one of his movies

Tomorrow is my last chance to win. I must win! I just got into this series and I love it. I want to win tickets! Pick me! Pick me! Good luck to all.

I would love to see the movie before it hits theaters. I've read all the books and have seen all the movies so far. Can't wait to see this one! :)

i am a big fan of harry potter hes what make the movie so good .i even take my baby girl to movie start young on harry potter.

Another character that I simly adore is Dumbledore! Harry Potter would have probably lost his mind if he did not have his guidance. And love that he is honest and alwasy true to his word person.

Thank You Fresno Bee!! Can't wait to surprise my wife and see the movie!!

I always thought Argus Fitch was an interesting fellow, he never had an interest in the children Hogwards as caretaker. Whenever a student would get in trouble, he would always want the worst punishment. haha crazy guy..

HARRY POTTER…
He is a perfect depiction of a
True
Loyal
Trustworthy Friend
He reminds me of my relationship with my best friend
He is always there for the one’s he loves till the end..
I admire Harry’s character in this book, because even when times get tough he doesn’t give up without a fight..he perseveres through all the curve balls life throws at him ( or shall I say quidditch balls)…& while I was reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I let my imagination run free and illustrated every scene in my mind…
HARRY POTTER…
He is my favorite character in this book
