Thanks Brittany! It was fun coming up with the list. Who knew so many animal friends played an important role in a lot of YA/Middle Grade books. It seems like something we sometimes forget about.

Some of my favorite characters are secondary ones! Lupin would be at the top of my list. I did also really like Luna and her quirkiness though. I haven’t read any of the others on your list, but some of them are on my TBR, so I’ll be on the lookout for these characters 🙂 Here’s my TTT!

Lupin would have been a great one to add. I have always liked him as a character, I wish we got to see him more in the books.

I would have gladly read more about him. But Rowling did a great job of getting inside his head and conveying his character even with the little screen time he got.
