I really genuinely like Lavender. Yes, she was annoying and slightly clingy but she was sixteen. It is all part of growing up. I know people try to compare her to Hermione but she’s not Hermione, she Lavender. Maybe it’s because I’m older, but it’s all about learning and growing. So yes, I like Lavender a great deal. She’s that girl who is just muddling through and would look back later asking herself why she acted like that when she was younger. 

…and i wanted to cry like a baby when she died in the movie. js.
