By now, Harry has had some Sirius ups and downs during his school career. But in sharp contrast to his trials and tribulations of OotP, as he returns to school in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, he finds himself the flavour of the month. No longer the shunned pariah, reported in the press as an attention seeking liar, he finds that he is the object of fascinated attention from girls, in particular. It doesn't hurt that he is the new Gryffindor Quidditch captain and that the events at the end of OotP have been discussed extensively in the Daily Prophet. So why is he so intrigued and puzzled by the behaviour of Draco Malfoy, who has had a downturn in his fortunes, and is talking about leaving? And who is the Half-blood prince, whose very handy potions book proves so helpful to Harry?
Some characters in a book are impressive because of their willingness to make themselves available at unexpected moments. Others are too obsessed with their own moods and romantic troubles to be aware that they might be needed elsewhere. Sometimes main characters, irritate the reader when they don't want to believe that all is not well, or when they quarrell with other main characters for little reason. Some other characters manage to be annoying and impressive at the same time, even if they are not in both lists. Who according to you was the most impressive character in Order of the Phoenix and why ? And Who was the most annoying and why ? There is a further twist. Which of the new characters in Half-Blood Prince do you like? And which don't you like very much? There is a whole range of new characters brought to us via Dumbledore's pensieve memories to choose from. Meanwhile, have your views changed about old characters like Draco, Cornelius Fudge, Percy or Professor Trelawney from how they appeared in previous books? You may vote for more than one person in all categories, but please let us know what you think of each character, and the reasons why. Let us explore together the quirks and difficulties of each character.
