Father's Day

In Australia - it is Father's Day today (1st Sunday in September).

so, in honour of that...

Who is your favourite Father in the Harry Potter series and why?

Arthur Weasley
Lucius Malfoy
Remus Lupin
James Potter
etc...

my Favourite father is Arthur Weasley...
to bring up so many kids, with good cheer, and humour is a glorious thing.
to treat Harry and any of their friends as though they are also part of the family is wonderful.

I love Arthur's obsession with all things muggle...
I love how he and Molly interact.
I love his fatherly advice... never trust anything if you can't see where it keeps its brain. (sorry for the paraphrase - but I think you get my point)

Fathers Day is crap.

Stupid and pointless.

Gotta be Arthur ... 7 kids ... no money ...wobbly house ...public servant
He's a saint!

I think Lucius Malfoy deserves a little bit of acknowledgement.

He provided well for his family. He gave his son Draco every possible advantage.

While I don't agree with the malfoy's family values.... I still think that as a father, he treated Draco well. I don't recall Draco ever complaining or having difficulties with his home life.

george is a great dad, hmm ja

Hm, good question!

I'd have to say Arthur Weasley.
As someone mentioned, he raised so many children and they basically all have their hearts in the right place.
They're a very normal, good family - not rich but manage to scrape by with few complaints.
I also love Arthur's love for muggles and all things muggle related - it also shows he really accepts those different from himself.

We had a good father's day this year

Well, Arthur Weasley is still the best father, but many of the other fathers are also very good.

(Can you imagine Sirius or Severus as a father? *sniggers* I mean, maybe if things had turned out differently, but even then, it would be...erm....entertaining.)

I think Harry would be a great father
