30 Days of HP: Day 17

Day 17: Your favorite celebs from the movies or fandom

Honestly, they all seem like cool kids who would be fun to hang out with, but I don’t have any I’m particularly attached to. Ask this question on a 30 Days of Twilight meme, though, and I will gush about those kids forever. I think Tom Felton is the best young actor out of all of them, and he also seems like a perfectly lovely, normal guy, and he interviews really well. I’m impressed with Emma Watson’s commitment to her education, if not overly wowed by her acting, and of all the kids, I think she’s the one I would probably most enjoy spending a day with. I like how much of an unashamed HP nerd Evanna Lynch is. Matthew Lewis, like Tom Felton, seems like a nice, normal guy that I wouldn’t mind hanging out with, and I’ve always had a soft spot for him.

For the adults, I have a huge thing for Alan Rickman, in no small part because he is so perfect as Snape. I want Emma Thompson to be my mom for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with HP and everything to do with how awesome she is. (I hasten to add that this desire also has nothing to do with my admittedly complicated relationship with my own mother, because I love my mom and I’m glad she’s my mom. It’s just that Emma Thompson is so awesome that I would like her to also be my mom. Emma Thompson, please adopt me! I promise I won’t ask you for money! I won’t even ask you to introduce me to Alan Rickman! Probably.) Oh, and did I mention Dame Maggie Smith? Because if I can be a cool old woman like her, I actually don’t mind getting old. And of course David Heyman seems like a perfectly lovely man, and I really respect how committed he is to keeping the kids sane and happy and emotionally stable.

As for fandom, who doesn’t love Melissa Anelli? I mean, pretty much everyone at Leaky is awesome, so yeah, probably them.
