LOL, I think we're all well on the way to starting a fan club for Crookshanks. Which he'd think was only right and proper! I have had a great fondness for intelligent ginger cats ever since we had our own, much-missed Rosie. More accurately, she had us - we never got much say from the day she moved in!
There's so much fun seeing the characters through a cat's perspective, and watching him use his sense of smell to work out human moods. The idea of him sleeping side by side with Sirius, and easing the 'musty smell of melancholy' is both sad and lovely. I love his relationship with Hermione; the way she talks to him and him growling at her 'betrayal'. And then there's Ron of course: how nice then that it's him, of all people, who has learnt what matters most because Hermione is so important to them both.
