Additional Likes and Dislikes
Politics, history, and little details of the magical world are always welcome touches, as are minor characters, humor, and "how we got together" or "how it ended" stories. I prefer Ministry or Order-aligned characters to Death Eaters, and eras other than the Marauders' (unless the focus is on the Ministry). If you're writing someone like Umbridge, I encourage you to take full advantage of the concept of an unreliable narrator - and even with more sympathetic characters, please don't smooth down their rougher edges.
In terms of romance, if you don't include sex, I won't miss it; if you do, I'd prefer it to be in the service of plot rather than smut for smut's sake. I usually like canon pairings where they exist, so just because Tobias and Ted aren't on my preferred main character list doesn't mean you have to pair Eileen or Andromeda with other people. (Petunia, on the other hand, does not need to stay married to her oaf of a husband.) If you write Marietta or Amelia, I'd prefer femslash, but I'm flexible when it comes to everyone else. Not a big fan of the Marauders, or Snape in a romantic context (sorry!). But I am sad that Phineas Nigellus didn't make the cut this year, so you can consider him on my list, too.
