30 Day Song Challenge (4) A Song That Makes You Sad
"God's Will" by Martina McBride. It's a beautiful, haunting song that stays with me for ages each time I listen to it.

HP Challenge - Favorite Female Character
My favorite female character: Luna Lovegood.
She rounds out my top three favorite characters in the series, alongside Snape and Hagrid.
 
The thing that says the most about Luna to me is that Rowling introduces this character in book FIVE. Without much time to make an impression, boy does she make one. Luna is one of Rowling's most inspired characters. It isn't that she isn't, as her nickname says, loony; most of the time she makes little to no sense but she is supremely confident and does not remotely try to fit in or hide her odd nature. Even when people make fun of her, she does not seem to care. She rounds out the main characters so well and I think the series would have been sincerely lacking without her.

I really couldn't decide between these two. So, both.
Rubeus Hagrid and Severus Snape.
 
These two are also among my top three favorite characters across the board.
 
I like them for different reasons. Snape is not a character I personally LIKE - in fact, most of the time, I can't stand the guy - but he IS one of the most fascinating characters in the entire series. In fact, Snape is not just one of the most important characters in the books, but one of the most unique. There was always (no pun intended, I swear) question as to where his loyalties did, in fact, lie; consistently, from book one, all the way through book seven. And once we knew his backstory - even those of us who guessed at what it might have been - it made everything so much clearer. He is both a tragic and triumphant character at the same time. Brava, JK Rowling.
 
Hagrid, meanwhile, is probably the most unsung hero of the books. The films almost completely deplete his character. Hagrid is, as Rowling herself said, the person who led Harry into the wizarding world, and carried him back out again. It is Hagrid who personally takes Harry away from the Dursleys and was the one who told Harry that he was a wizard and, too, about Voldemort. Hagrid is one of the most honest characters in the books; he tries his best at everything and truly wants to do good in the world. He cares, fiercely for his friends and, in my opinion, is one of the best examples of a true Gryffindor. I knew, when Deathly Hallows was published that the one character death I would not be able to forgive would be Hagrid's. And, thank you JKR for keeping Hagrid safe. <3

30 Day Song Challenge - (1) Favorite Song
This was tough, but I went with a long-time classic that always puts me in a good mood, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
 
"Don't Stop Believin'," by Journey, released originally on the 1981 album, Escape.
