Harry Potter Moment of the Week (80): Character You Wished You'd Invented

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts and Lunar Rainbows. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Character You Wished You'd Invented

Ummm . . . pretty much ALL the characters? This is a seriously hard question! I'll go with Dumbledore, because just about every single line of dialogue he speaks in the books is instantly quotable. Plus Dumbledore is mind-bogglingly wise and kind with a keen sense of humor, not to mention a phenomenal wizard. The sheer amount of genius that went into creating such a character still awes me to this day.

  1. I came over here expecting the answer to be Sirius XD But I agree 100%, Dumbledore is a brilliant character and well, he's brilliant in his own right too! His wisdom and words always give me pause, no matter how many times I read them. I like that you highlighted his humor and wit, as well as his amazing magical powers, all are traits that I admire in him too. He's incredible!

    1. Hahaha! Sirius was one of my top picks for this post, but I think he's been mentioned here quite a lot lately, so I decided to give a different character the spotlight. :D I love Dumbledore's humor so much; it has a kind of subtlety to it, I think, which makes it even more clever!

  2. There are too many wonderful character in this series. So I'm going to go with a non human and pick Dobby. He was so adorably hideous and the sweetest, humblest little guy you ever wanted to meet. It killed me when he passed away in the book and the movie.

    1. I was wrecked when Dobby died, especially watching it on screen in the film. He was so sweet and gentle, but also so fiercely protective of Harry and his friends.

  3. Oh yes. Brilliant choice, Lee, because though he isn't my favourite character (hello, Luna), he is the character who you're kind of endlessly in awe of. I mean, he's a walking wisdom/quotation machine! And he's totally lovely, too, so he's like the most wonderful character! Excellent choice. xx

    1. I adore Luna, too- her free spirited nature, her kindness, and her loyalty to her friends. ❤ I really wanted to choose just about everyone in the HP-verse this week, lol!

  4. I chose Dumbledore too and I agree with all your points! I should've also said that I love him so much too because he's just an oddball but everyone still loves and fears him at the same time. Great choice :D

    1. It's amazing how he has such a wonderful sense of humor and a kind spirit, yet at the same time he's also a formidable wizard who wields the Elder Wand!
