 * My favorite books are Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

~ I love

 * 1) Hermione Granger (I'm still hoping JKR will finally end her marriage via Pottermore)
 * 2) Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour (later Fleur Weasley)
 * 3) Crookshanks

~ I like

 * 1) Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom (oh don't get me wrong, I don't ship them, I just like them on the same level)
 * 2) Fred Weasley and George Weasley
 * 3) Charlie Weasley
 * 4) Pretty much all the decent members of the D.A..

~ I wish were further explored in canon

 * 1) Theodore Nott
 * 2) Kingsley Shacklebolt
 * 3) Terry Boot

~ I dislike, borderline hating

 * 1) Harry Potter (book 5 onward)
 * 2) Molly Weasley (book 4 onward)
 * 3) Arthur Weasley (book 4 onward) (K, this one I feel the need of explaining. I dislike him for his ignorance; for someone claiming to "love" muggles, he never tried to actually "understand" them, he just "likes the idea" of them. If you truly are fascinated with another culture, you shouldn't just fantasied about them, you should try actually learning about them. The fact that he did't bother to think in their point of view, NOT KNOWING they don't floo, failed at recognizing currency, clearly shows that his enthusiasm were falsely placed, or simply put, ignorant.  I know he's a nice dude in general, that's why he isn't on the next list, but if I hate anything, I hate the people who broadcast their love for something and don't even know half of the stuff about what they supposedly love so much)
 * 4) Ginny Weasley (book 6 onward)
 * 5) Albus Dumbledore (This one's a bit tricky. Unlike the listed above who I have distinct points where I started to dislike them, I realized the loathing of Dumbledore only came after I've gotten the whole picture aka finished all the books. He truly was some piece of work, effing manipulative bastard. I only find his actions shady after knowing the whole truth, those acts were pretty flawless unless you knew the other side of the story)

~ I loathe

 * 1) Ron Weasley (book 3 onward) (I can write a 10+page paper and thoroughly analyze how I feel I would only like this character had he died in the last book. I'm not even kidding, I told my friends as such. His death would have effectively canceled out all the shitty moves he did; I was very sad to learn it actually had been JKR's plan to kill him off but was changed)
 * 2) Dolores Umbridge
 * 3) Cornelius Fudge

Clarifications
K, so seeing how I actually listed 2/3 of the trio, aka main characters, and some family members of a certain member of the trio as people I either dislike so much that I feel like I hate them, or I do in fact loathe them; you may wonder why I would list them instead of the people most fans would obviously hold no love.
 * 1) Marietta Edgecombe
 * 2) Percy Weasley
 * 3) Rita Skeeter
 * 4) Cho Chang
 * 5) Voldemort and his Death Eaters

Trinity Blood
This series is as of now the ONE AND ONLY rare case, in which I'm fond of all the existing versions: the original light novels, the manga adaptation, and the anime adaptation. Personally my favorite is the R.O.M. series. BTW, I'm actually still having hopes Hollywood would pick this up lol This series has so much more to offer than half of the other vampire stuff currently on the market!

Yes, I'm aware that unfortunately Sunao Yoshida (吉田直) died before he could finish, what apparently still has a long way to go, but the 6 finished books are solid enough if not touching upon the whole origin of Methuselah.

Inkheart trilogy
Love the books, wish there were more, but am happy with what there is. Before you start talking crap about the film, I'll just tell you, I actually like this adaptation way more than how the HP film franchise is handled comparing to its source material; of course it's not exactly the same as the book, but its treatment and alteration is more reasonable and understandable than the... what I called almost-overated film franchise.
 * Side-note: Don't get me wrong, I DON'T HATE the HP film adaptations, but I'm certainly not overly fond of it like I probably would have been, had it actually been how EPIC it needed to be.

For Inkheart, I'm just disappointed that the film was so under-appriciated and therefore no sequels.
