I know they were annoying, but they had large parts, so Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix wouldn't be the same without them.
I don't think Lockhart was from Hufflepuff, he's too selfish and dishonest. But then again i can't think of where else he could have been from. Anyway, if i could delete a character i think it would have to be--don't yell at me--Wormtail. I know he was essential to the plot but i just think it was so awful how he betrayed all his friends like he did, and i still don't fully understand why.
yes. mclaggen was not very courageous if you know what i mean, and romilda vane was just kind of disgusting.i know that we can't really 'delete' people because the horrible characters make the story its amazing self as well. it just goes to show what a great writer jo is, that she can make her villians so real that we hate them, even if they don't exist!
rita skeeter.course, instead of just deleting bad characters, we could be deleting the best ones too, to save them from their horrible fates... (sirius D: )
I think I would delete Professor Grubbly-Plank. I hate how everyone including a little bit of Hermione liked her. Hagrid is way better than her.
umbridge? omg that would be hilarious!!! "now here class, is a flobberworm. careful, they can be vicious when provok- ahhhh!"
Its just annoying that no matter which character you want to delete, they serve such an important part in the plot that the book would be terrible without them!
YES he does, and yes, his cluelessness makes him just adorable. I mean, even if I didn't like ron (don't be mistaken - I love him!) I wouldn't want to delete him - he's part of the trio, and therefore essential. Without Ron, we wouldn't meet any of weasleys or go the burrow and that would make the order so weird and harry would never have a mother figure (mrs. weasley) or a bunch of "brothers" and he would never meet ginny and he would only have hermione as a friend, and personally, I don't think he'd be too happy about that. And ron, he wouldn't meet hermione cause I don't think they'd ever have gotten together if it wasn't for harry and ... the list goes on and on.
I wouldn't delete anything. It was just perfect. I would, however, like some certain things cleared up, like particulars about quirrell's body sharing, ginny's possession, the diary horcrux, and horcruxes in general. But of course I wouldn't take any of that stuff away!
I don't believe Quirrel was a Horcrux. Wasn't LV just using him to try and survive...and get into Hogwarts for the stone?I don't know if I'd delete any of the characters. That's a tough one. Hmm.....OH! Cho. I really really dislike Cho.....and Fleur. They both got on my nerves.
I don't like either of them either, but I think cho was important cause harry had to have at least one thing he failed at, right?? and fleur is fun to make fun to make fun of.
Yeah, I like how at the end of the sixth book she really shows she cares for Bill. I actually kind of like her. I don't like Cho at all, but I guess her little romance with Harry is important in a way. I really hate Marietta and she's Cho's friend, so that's the main reason for my dislike.
Yeah, Cho gets on my nerves. I don't get what Harry sees in her. I much prefer his choice of Ginny, she at least isn't a wimp.
I don't really like Cho either. She's just... I dunno. Not really a like-able person. How Harry noticed her over Ginny... Anyway, she's probably not my least favorite person that I'd want out of the book. It's hard to pick who I'd want to be kicked out because they all play some sort of role, but since I have to choose, I'd pick Rita Skeeter (did I spell that right?).
i know. we can't really delete any characters from the story, since they all seem to play a critical role, but i would delete marietta as well if i could. i honestly don't see what harry saw in cho, either...
Cho is rather unlikable, but unfortunately necessary. I would delete Marietta. She totally deserved what she got. And McLaggen (however that's actually spelled), and Zacharias Smith. They didn't serve much of a purpose and they're arrogant jerks. I think Scorpius should be deleted out of mercy (poor kid, with a name like that...)
Gunjari wrote: "i'd love to delete lockhart, but also i don't want to. i think that deleting any character would ruin the whole story... althuogh i fi could get my hands on bellatrix! (even if she's already dead)"I agree. If you delete anyone, it would mess up the story. Even the smallest characters.
But Harry needed to mature and Ginny needed to learn to be herself more. They couldn't have started out together.
