Why I like them: Well, he's very brave, heroic, more than willing to save the day, kind to people who others typically overlook (Hagrid, Dobby, etc.), funny, and very much the everyman, especially in the early books, which made it easy for me, first reading, to relate to.
Why I don’t: For all his virtues, Harry can be very self-centered, very judgmental, and very occasionally cruel. I know the Crucio scene in Book 7 really made me uncomfortable when I first read it.
Favourite episode (scene if movie): His battle in the Chamber of Secrets in the second book, the graveyard in Goblet of Fire (scared the shit out of little me when I first read it), and his mental battle with Voldemort in the fifth movie.
Favourite season/movie: In terms of books, Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Azkaban. In terms of movies, Order of the Phoenix. The book was pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I think the movie adaptation was slightly better.
Favourite line: "There's no need to call me sir, Professor." HBP has its problems, but that line was pretty good. And in the Goblet of Fire movie, "Have it your way" when he's facing down Voldemort. And in the OOTP movie, "You're the weak one. And you'll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you."
Favourite outfit: His Hogwarts uniform. Especially in the movies. It's pretty damn cool looking.
OTP/OT3: Harry/Ginny.
Brotp: Harry and Ron.
Head Canon: After Deathly Hallows, he and Malfoy weren't necessarily the best of friends, but they had a lot more respect for each other.
Unpopular opinion: I'm not really a Harry/Snape shipper.
A wish: Um, can't say.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Again, can't say.
5 words to best describe them: Brave, flawed, snarky, heroic, kind.
