Obviously Percy is a least favorite, but I also feel like he's such an important character for the plot of the story. His character shows how easy it is to get sucked into propaganda and do the wrong thing even when you've been raised properly, and how political discord can tear families apart.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.

Most people's favorite McGonagall quote: "I've always wanted to use that spell" My favorite McGonagall quote: "And take Mr. Weasley with you, He looks too happy" And interestingly enough both are movie exclusive lines.
Kendra Dumbledore

The most prominent LGBTQ+ character revealed in the Harry Potter universe is Albus Dumbledore, who J.K. Rowling confirmed is gay, having had a deep romantic relationship with Gellert Grindelwald as a youth. While not explicit in the books, Rowling's post-publication revelation established Dumbledore as a gay character, with implications for Grindelwald as well, though many fans felt this representation was lacking in the actual texts and films.

George's twin brother, Fred Weasley, was killed when the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts Castle, so George's life was likely significantly different after Voldemort's defeat.

While no official ADHD diagnoses exist in the books, fans often point to Fred & George Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Nymphadora Tonks as characters exhibiting traits of ADHD, like impulsivity, hyperfocus, restlessness, and disorganization, though some also see Hermione Granger as potentially neurodivergent due to intense focus and social challenges.
