Hm~ this is quite a hard question.
I guess I'd have to say either Ron, Lupin or Dumbledore.
Ron, because he's so dimwitted <3 and so devoted to his friends (despite storming off in DH). He and Hermione are an adorable couple, and his jealousy of anyone who gets close to her is adorable ^_^ (PS- Stephanie Meyer, that's how you do jealous boyfriend without making it creepy and abusive!)
Plus, Rupert Grint is one of my favourite actors :D he is probably the best Ron there could ever have been!
It's little moments like this that make me love him even more <3 (really annoyed I can't find the specific clip I'm looking for - it's Ron standing in the hall in HBP, just before the first potions class with Slughorn - it just illustrates what a twat he is).

Lupin, well, I love a character with some conflict. Despite being ostracised from wizarding society, he continues on, even though it would be the easiest thing in the world for him to just fall in with the other werewolves who've joined Voldemort.
Not to mention, the man has infinite patience. I do NOT support him and Tonks as a couple, though, it's like the most AWKWARD canon pairing in the whole series.
... Lupin/Sirius blatantly makes more sense /shot.
And Dumbledore... how could anyone hate him? He's odd, eccentric, quirky, loveable, and loving. As well as brave, and quick to admit/recognise his own faults.
Grindelwald CLEARLY didn't recognise a good thing when he had it.
Also, as a fan of Stephen Fry's, the fact that I can see quite a bit of him in Dumbledore makes me rather happy :3

30 Days of Harry Potter: Least Favourite Female Character
Okay- I'm torn between Lavender Brown and Ginny for this.
Lavender just gets on my nerves (though the whole Won-Won thing made me laugh, I must say).
I don't hate Ginny, it's just... her character development to me is quite sudden - I still think of her as this shy little first-year clutching her battered books and Tom Riddle's diary, and all of a sudden, she's hexing people and got boys all over her?! Did I miss something?

30 Days of Harry Potter: Day 3- Worst Book To Movie Adaptation.
Without a doubt, Half-Blood Prince was the worst. Definitely.
I understand dramatising a lot of stuff, but just making stuff up, like Bellatrix randomly turning up and setting the Weasley's house on fire etc. it just doesn't do it for me.
The whole movie, to be honest, just wasn't how I imagined it would be at all. Thus, it remains my least favourite of the series, despite my love for the book.

Doll Vomit (In which Chu gets spoiled rotten, and Vikenti is chalked up for surgery!)
Okay, so like I say in the title, Chu's being spoiled by his loving Auntie (me! And my lovely mother, who made everything you're about to see him wearing), and Vikenti's going to undergo some modifications to help him sit better.Right, so, first order of business! 
Beautiful Winter-Wear ^_^ Nice and warm. Black tights, red satin skirt and a top with a red bow, and matching headband.
It's just a for-now measure, until I can afford to get him a new body (though I have the issue of finding a match for DIM's 2008 NS Resin - anyone know of one? Thinking DZ WS.).
I'll come back and add pics later :)

Close-up on the bow. Horrible lighting in my room, unfortunately, but the clothes look wonderful on him.
And now Blogger is being weird and won't let me add any more pictures, so I'll come back and edit this.
Anyway, moving swiftly on, to Vikenti being 'operated' on. I have several things I want to address.
1) The rotten ear mod he suffered before I bought him.
I had originally intended to send him off to be fixed to do this, but I figured it was nothing I couldn't do myself. And indeed, it's not that hard - I've already managed to fix the shape to something much more... human, at least. There is still a lot of colour-matching and sanding to do, but, in the meantime, his wig keeps it covered, and everything in this respect is on track.
2) His severely limited posing ability.
Now, bearing in mind that Vikenti is a good five years old, and there have been leaps and bounds in BJD jointing since, eventually I would like to get him a new body. As regards what I've got to work with; his body is severely yellowed in parts, he's single-jointed, and clearly engineered to be standing more often than sitting.
Thus, what I want to do is, either carve or sculpt a locking step into his back so he can slouch forward and sit in a more natural way, and I'm going to widen his hip sockets so that the ball-joint fits better into the socket, and so that the elastic has a little more room to move. As he is now, he sits at a terribly awkward angle, and tends to puff his chest out.
I'm not too bothered about colour-matching any additive mods, as he doesn't go shirtless too often, and any additive mods would most likely be on his back, anyway.

30 Days of Harry Potter: Day 2 - Favourite Movie
Favourite Movie is, without a doubt, Philosopher's Stone. Out of all the movies, I would say it's the most faithful to the book, and I liked Richard Harris as Dumbledore. Not that Michael Gambon didn't do just as good a job; I just felt Harris fitted the part better. RIP, Richard Harris, you were the best Dumbledore as far as I'm concerned.

30 Days of Harry Potter: Day 1- Favourite Book
1. Favourite Book
Okay, so for this, I'm slightly torn. Goblet Of Fire is the one I always come back to, because it's when Voldemort came back, and you could see that things were going to get really heavy for Harry from there on in.
Half Blood Prince and Order of The Phoenix are also pretty high up there in my favourites, because, well, I love a good villain, and Umbridge is one of my favourite female villains. You think she's just a bitch, then she makes you write lines in your own blood. Personally, I think she and Voldemort would make great pals. If Voldemort knew the meaning of friendship that is.
I cried my eyes out reading Phoenix (SIRIUS! NO!)- AND it was released on my birthday!
Also, Dumbledore dying was a HUGE OMG moment for every fan. And I think we all wondered if Harry could do it without the old eccentric's help at the end of HBP.
But yes, in conclusion, I can't really pick between those three. So those are my favourites :) I think it goes without saying, though, I love all the books.
