Mixed Feelings
- a pondering cat

November is upon us and I don't know about you, but I am unclear how I feel about that. There's always a short period of letdown after the Halloween season as Christmas is still a good deal of time away. For Americans, we have Thanksgiving in November, but that's never been a huge deal for some. In my household, it means cooking entirely too much for five people and watching American football.

Our beloved SOUP Editors chose the theme of Human Emotions for November, so let's zero in on discovering a wide gamut of emotions in the Harry Potter series!



T A S K

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to take each of the following emotions and tell us in no less than ten words per emotion, which Harry Potter character best personifies that feeling.

Example:
Envy - Ron Weasley - I believe that Ron Weasley most personifies the feeling of envy as he constantly appears to be jealous of Harry, Hermione, and others around him at Hogwarts.

Please ensure that each explanation is at least ten words long.

E M O T I O N S
Anger
Confusion
Disgust
Embarrassment
Ennui (Disinterest)
Fear
Greed
Hope
Joy
Love
Shyness
Sadness
