While I agree that the friendships (and how the characters connect in general) really make the story (I was shocked to read about Harry and Ron's huge fight in the middle of part 7), I found that I enjoyed putting together pieces of the puzzle from earlier books with new tidbits of information from the later books the most! I love reading something (like a dialogue) and having no idea what it means until later on - keeps things interesting!!
Also, did anyone else not find Luna Lovegood (from Harry Potter) the most likable character in any of the books?! Well, you probably didn't but I couldn't ever understand why nobody wanted to be her friend. She was always so funny and interesting! I'm glad Harry took her out as a friend (though I can't remember if it was to the ball in book 4 or Slughorn's party in book 6)! That line she says in book 6 (i think) about missing Dumbledore's Army because it was "like having friends" was a really sad line :( I could have given her a hug when i read that but, ya know, the whole "fictional character" thing ;) - Andrew R.
Andrew, I BAWLED like a big 'ole baby when Harry went in Luna's room and saw the painting with FRIENDS painted across them all!!!! Yes!! I LOVE Luna!!! She's such an under-appreciated character!!! If I were going to write my own spin-off from HP, it'd be about Luna!!!!
