Movie characters captivate our hearts and spark our imaginations in ways that real-life crushes just can't. I mean, how are we supposed to have a crush on just ANYBODY after the beautiful Cedric Diggory graced our screens?
Whether it’s the charming wit of Fred Weasley, the fierceness of Bellatrix, or the mysterious allure of Severus Snape, each character offers a unique charisma that captures our imaginations.
I know many of us wanted a cozy chat by the fire in the Gryffindor common room with Harry, or Ron, or whoever...
So, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to reveal their Harry Potter Universe crushes. Here are the responses, and there is a lot of love for the Weasley Twins!
1."Guys, don’t judge me; mine is Oliver Wood."
2."It was Ron for me, like when he was small, he was cute, and from the third movie, he became so dreamy."
3."Harry in fourth year only. Draco in fourth, fifth, and sixth year, and Ron in fourth cuz of the hair."
4."Oh, and I forgot my hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee crush on Cedric. I was obsessed, bro. I bought all the Hufflepuff merch like it was wild."
5."Oh, boy...There's a list. Bellatrix Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Mattheo Riddle, Tom Riddle, Minerva McGonagall, Hermione Granger, Molly Weasley, Severus Snape... And I think that's it."
6."Draco Malfoy from the very beginning. I have loved Malfoy since year one at Hogwarts, and I've been an honorary Slytherin since the start of Harry Potter."
7."Young Tom Riddle (Chamber of Secrets)."
8."Definitely Cedric, he's my favorite, and he's also amazing."
9."Fred Weasley, he is so cute."
10."Growing up, I always thought Draco was the most beautiful thing on two legs."
11."Hermione, she was my gay awakening."
12."Ginny, she's gorgeous AF."
13."Luna, the way she thinks and is so straightforward with her speaking it's refreshing!"
14."Draco from the third year until the final and Harry from the third to the fifth (to be honest, they were all so cute in the third year)."
15."Young Tom Riddle. Draco Malfoy. Enzo from the fan-made universe. And Matheo Riddle from the fan-made universe."
16."DRACO MALFOY ALL THE WAY!!!!! Snape, Tom Riddle, Sirius Black, Neville Longbottom, Lucius Malfoy, Remus Lupin, and Harry at one point, but Draco Malfoy for sure."
17."The Weasley twins + Cedric + Neville."
18."Somehow...Draco Malfoy."
19."Hermione from the third year to the seventh year and also Luna from the fifth to seventh year."
20."Tom Riddle in Chamber of Secrets and Draco from third to seventh year."
21."Weasley Twins."
22."Ginny in the books for sure, such a badass! And, I know it’s basic, but even as a lesbian, I totally relate to the sixth through seventh book/movie Draco obsession."
23."It’s kind of hard to explain. I mean, they’re all so cute, but I have to say either Harry, The Weasley Twins, Cedric, Oliver, Neville, Ron, Draco, Dean, Seamus, Mattheo Riddle, Tom Riddle, Blaise, Theodore, Lorenzo, Regulus, and Lee Jordan."
24."Draco obviously."
25."Severus Snape, for sure! I fell in love with Alan Rickman, and he became my favorite actor—also Lucius Malfoy. I know I have had a type since I was a pre-teen. I love the bad guy/antagonist, and if they have a deep voice and/or long hair, I don’t stand a chance."
26."It was always Snape and Lucius Malfoy for me. I feel like I redeem myself slightly by also being very into Havelock Vetinari from the Discworld books, who share 100% of the aesthetic but 0% of the politics. Apparently, I'm just into bitchy old goths."
27."Before the movies came out, I was obsessed with the books and had a huge crush on Ron Weasley. My friends were confused, like, 'Girl, he doesn’t even exist.' So when the movies came out, it was, 'WHO’S LAUGHING NOW? HE DOES EXIST.' Anyway, as I’ve gotten older and more mature, I’ve dumped Ron and moved on to Fred and George, the true Weasley kings."
28."Bellatrix 100% she is very beautiful, in my opinion, a close second is Luna Lovegood."
29."The Weasley twins, Bill Weasley and Charlie Weasley. Even though we only see him briefly in the movies. He's pretty hunky too. I like my redheaded men (not Percy, though he is awful, and Ron is too young for me)."
30."Remus Lupin's wisdom and wit are so attractive, but at the same time, too, just the way Snape carries himself and is secretly on the lookout for Harry."
31."Newt Scamander is gentle, kind, and caring; he's total boyfriend material!"
32."Growing up is realizing I didn't want to be Hermione, I wanted to be WITH her. But also, despite being a lesbian, Remus Lupin owns my entire heart. Lastly, if we can go with a character we don't even have a canon appearance for, I'd pick both Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes."
33."Draco Malfoy. We all had the bad boy phase, except mine is still going."
35."It will always be Ron Weasley (as played by Rupert Grint). I love redheads, and he really did it for me, especially in the last four movies."
36."Cedric Diggory!!!!! So hot. I mean, not as hot as Edward from Twilight, but good enough."
37."The Weasley twins. Both of them."
38."Ron Weasley, I loved his character development by the end of the books. My love carried over into the movies as Rupert Grint grew up quite nicely as well."
39."It has to be Viktor Krum 100%. Does another one else not think that Hermione should’ve ended up with him instead?! Everything about him!!! The buzz cut, the accent, his red suit at the Yule Ball!!! My gay awakening at age 12!"
40.And finally, "Sirius Black for sure!"
