harry potter challenge day 5

5. favorite male character, and why

source

 

at first it was a toss-up between dumbledore and lupin, but ultimately i chose lupin because for as wonderfully supportive as dumbledore was, he also lied and hid things from harry.  lupin was always honest.  lupin taught harry how to fight off the dementors.  i think lupin instilled confidence in harry.  he loved tonks because she was different.  he was a talented wizard.  and he was fiercely loyal to his friends and family.  i loved lupin from the moment he was introduced as the weird guy sleeping in harry's train berth.  oh, and also - he believed chocolate could always make you feel better - a sure way to the heart of a hershey girl!
