In which Rachel hates Dumbledore;

( The Questions )
Day 9: Least favorite male character
I know some people would hate me for this, but my least favorite male character (and my least favorite character in general) is Dumbledore. I can't stand him. He's just one of those characters I want to punch every time he speaks. I don't mind him in the first few books, but from book 5 and onward, I hate him. I have a hard time finding any likeable qualities in him. I mean, yes, he fought for Muggle rights and all that, but because that's not actually dealt with in the story, it doesn't make him any more likeable as a character. I find him boring and annoying, and it seems like the majority of wizards put him up on an extremely high pedestal when in reality he's not much better than anyone else. Also, I don't like how his relationship with Harry developed in the last few books. I never got the impression that they cared that deeply about one another until the last book, and it seems like all that caring came out of nowhere. After all, they'd shared, what, 20 conversations in their entire lives? They didn't even know each other that well, really. I just... I can't even explain how much I dislike Dumbledore. I hate him.
