Follow Friday


Feature and Follow is a blog hop that was started by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week a different question is posted by our hosts and we will answer! This is a great opportunity for bloggers to network and interact. This weeks question is:

Happy Father's Day!  Who's your favourite dad character in a book and why?

Hmmm...this is a toughie.   There haven't been many books recently where parental figures are prominent.  If I had to choose one, I'd say Sirius Black in Harry Potter.  True, he wasn't Harry's real dad but he certainly cared for Harry in a way that Harry hadn't experienced before and Sirius was the only clear tie to his family.  Sirius could tell stories about his parents and understood him.  Plus, he was pretty cool.....

  2. Sirius passed my mind as well. He sure was a father to Harry, in his own way.
