Okay, I figured to start off with pretty common ground. Harry Potter, like it? Hate it? Why? Can't explain? No problem, just thought I'd ask! I personally love Harry Potter. I've never given much thought into why. I think that it's because...well a lot of reasons actually. It's about a boy who becomes a wizard. Whose ever heard of that(well a lot of people actually)? And it happens in modern times. Whose ever heard of that? I really don't know why I like Harry Potter, but I just do, and I'm highly anticipating the 7th book.

I think it really set grounds for books in the fantasy genre. Which is good, because it good. But I don't like how it's been going. Harry annoys me.
And another bad thing (as an author): Whenever I say I'm writing a fantasy story. The first thing that comes out of someones mouth is: 'Like Harry Potter?' (That and Eragon...)

It is annoying when people assume that Harry Potter and Eragon are the only fantasy books out there. There are many others that are nothing at all like Harry Potter, but everyone always thinks Harry Potter. Most fantasy books were written before before Harry Potter, so it annoys me that people are reading fantasy because they read Harry Potter and want to read something else thats like it.

^If that doesn't make sense to you, it's because I have strong opinions about things, but sometimes they don't come out the way I would like them to. I'm agreeing with Lehcar, in case you didn't get that.

It makes perfect sense. It simply drives me insane when my mother says my story is 'just like Eragon'. When she hasn't read either. I only use a dragon in 'Harte' once! For comic relief.

I think it's part four. I don't know. Harry annoys me. My favorite character was Sirius. And naturally, he had to die.

Why do all the good characters have to die? It's so unfair.

I loved Antony in Julius Caesar, Creon from Antigone is my favorite, and I even shed a tear when the dragon from The Hobbit died.
And yes, Ynar from 'Harte' is my favorite character. Even though I'm the author, I still love him. (He's adorable and cuddly for a monsterous demon okay!?)

There is nothing wrong with favoring villians. They make the story interesting. It is strange that you don't favor any villians from HP, but I think that JKR did that on purpose. She doesn't want you to favor them. She's made them utterly unlikable. And she's made it clear that V wasn't even absolutly good as a child. I think that thats a reason some people favor villians. The author(director, creator, etc...) gave a glimpse at there childhood, which is when they arn't evil, so that people like them after they see how horrible there childhood was.

I failed in the 'unlikable-villian' concept. I don't have many unlikable characters. Belac is my exception.
JKR did a good job at it though. I'm honestly hoping she wanted Draco Malfloy to have a fan following. I think she did though. Because he has a bigger one than Harry.

It's okay if you don't have any unlikable characters. It makes you want to read more so you can see what happens to all the characters, not just the good ones.
