Question:

Who's your favorite Harry Potter character and why?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: OK, so I've answered this question several times before but since I love doing it, I'll do it again.

My favourite character has to be Sirius Black.

He is the ultimate in rich bad boy with a golden heart. He is arrogant and reckless, yet caring and kind. Sirius' loyalty towards his friends is matchless. He just happens to possess all the qualities I admire the most - courage, loyalty and charisma.
I simply adore him. My favourite is that scene in OoP in his 5th year though he does behave like a bully. But I love his style. Sirius definitely deserved much better than what he got. A handsome rebel with a flying motorbike! What more could I want?
I do not see Sirius as a father figure. Throughout the series he was more of a friend to the Trio rather than a wise, level headed adviser. Remus fills that part, not Sirius.

I also like Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George, James (the little we see of him), and Dumbledore.
