Ah, I see.

I think, deep down, Malfoy was actually once good of heart, but we all know what peer pressure can do to a teen.

Especially if their parents jump on the bandwagon. D:

[Gallagher]

Not much was said in series about Puff rooms because they're the only place Harry didn't get to. But, it was elaborated on in Pottermore, something which us lovely Puffs got to see~

A sloping, earthy passage inside the barrel travels upwards a little way until a cosy, round, low-ceilinged room is revealed, reminiscent of a badger's set. The room is decorated in the cheerful, bee-like colours of yellow and black, emphasised by the use of highly polished, honey-coloured wood for the tables and the round doors which lead to the boys' and girls' dormitories (furnished with comfortable wooden bedsteads, all covered in patchwork quilts).

A colourful profusion of plants and flowers seem to relish the atmosphere of the Hufflepuff common room: various cactii stand on wooden circular shelves (curved to fit the walls), many of them waving and dancing at passers-by, while copper-bottomed plant holders dangling amid the ceiling cause tendrils of ferns and ivies to brush your hair as you pass under them.

A portrait over the wooden mantelpiece (carved all over with decorative dancing badgers) shows Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School, toasting her students with a tiny, two-handled golden cup. Small, round windows just level with the ground at the foot of the castle show a pleasant view of rippling grass and dandelions, and, occasionally, passing feet. These low windows notwithstanding, the room feels perennially sunny.

And about Malfoy, it's so true... Poor boy.

[Saith]

Malfoy was one of my favorite characters, because I hated him with every fiber of my being. It takes a lot for me to be on a hate train about someone. Him and Snape. I think he was good of heart all the time, he was just jaded and went about the execution the wrong way. Tough love, as they say.

[femme gauche]

Yes, fortunately he had his mother to look out for him in the end and so did not fall prey to Voldemort's vengeance. Lucius... well, he is just too cocky and superior to really earn much pity, even though in Voldemort's final years he made Lucius's life... well, rather difficult by his own standards.

EDIT: D'oh! Snape! How could I forget him >_>. I think it was insecurity which brought out the monster in him in his younger years, a monster which was ultimately beaten by love...

[Funkduder]

I feel very alone in the gryffindor common room...

[Saith]

Lucius could die in a fiery pit of suck for all I cared. There was no love in my heart for him, even through my hatred.

And I loved the guy who played him in the movies. PERFECT.

[femme gauche]

Jason Isaacs does play that role beautifully well. He has a similar role in Captain Hook in the 200...3? Peter Pan. But now... he's on t.v.

[Saith]

Ah hahah. He is Hook? Nice~

I also thought Tom Felton did wonderfully. But Alan Rickman, by far... the best.

[femme gauche]

Yes and his Hook also shows a little bit of vulnerability as well; he is not completely devoid of emotions (though most of them are indeed malicious).
Yes Tom Felton really showed his stuff and Alan Rickman... definitely the star. I mean Radcliffe did well but the role didn't ask quite as much of him as Snape did of Rickman. And he delivered.

[Saith]

Radcliff never actually sold me, though. Sure, he looked the part, but I always felt his delivery lacked. Much like Rupert. Emma, though, was fantastic.

[Espy]

Pfft. Sirius is still my favorite, although movie!Sirius was not...book!Sirius.

[Saith]

Book!Sirius was definately one of my favorites. Gary Oldman was nice and all, but his script just wasn't as awesome as the original role.

[femme gauche]

I never had a problem with any of the trio actors, really. They fit the roles for me. But Ron... always annoyed me. Book and movie. Same goes for Sirius.

[Ginger]

I like Snape because of how mean he is. Rickman did a great job portraying this character in the movies.

[Saith]

Which Dumbledore do you all like best?

[femme gauche]

I like that there is a reason to it, though. Meanness isn't exactly an attractive trait but his bitterness is understandable. He resents Harry for his resemblance (in appearance and, he perceives, in behavior) to James, who tormented Severus when they were young.
