This idea came to me when I got my Bella Swan candle (which I love!). I thought it would be cool to have other candles based off of other books. I love me some Harry Potter so these are just some CAS mixes I came up with based on the characters and their personalities. This is still in progress. Feel free to comment and I'll add to the list! (:
Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody: Tonka Truck + Leather Bellatrix Lestrange: Dark Angel + Hell on Heels Dobby: Sea Moss + Daffodil Dolores Umbridge: Sweet Angel Dust + Dark Kiss (cxp3607 suggested Dark Kiss)
Draco Malfoy: Drakkar Noir + Mahogany Dumbledore: Frankincense and Myrrh + Lovin' Lemon Fleur Delacour: Sea Salt & Lotus Blossom + Vanilla Bean Fred & George Weasley: Spellbound + Shamrock Kiss Gilderoy Lockhart: Obsession + Sweet Talk (stardust girl suggested Sweet Talk)
Ginny Weasley: Sunburst + Honeybee Hagrid: Bonfire Bliss + Enchanted Forest Harry Potter: I can't decide between Hemingway + Apples & Oak or Cinnaberry + Vanilla Cedar. Cool Water also seems to fit.
Hermione Granger: Oatmeal, Milk & Honey + Breath of Ireland Horace Slughorn: Pineapple Cake (crystallized pineapple is his favorite dessert!) + Amaretto
Luna Lovegood: Whispering Winds + Wood Nymph Lucius Malfoy: Crush on my Handyman + Leather & Lace (stardustgirl's CAS) Molly Weasley: Country Bumpkin + Home Sweet Home Neville Longbottom: Lemongrass & Cedar + Catchin' Fireflies (cxp3607's CAS)
Nymphadora Tonks: Monster Mash + Raspberry Rainbow (queentakesjack's CAS) Professor McGonagall: Chantilly Lace + Chai Tea (stardustgirl's CAS)
Remus Lupin: Chocolate Sandalwood Spice + Under the Harvest Moon
Ron Weasley: Pumpkin Cider + Irish Cream Sirius Black: Godfather + Sidecar Annie (stardustgirl's CAS, morganrose also suggested Black Velvet)
Snape: Witch's Brew + Brandy Alexander (stardust girl suggested Brandy Alexander)
Sybill Trewlaney: What Goes Around Comes Around + Sage (not sure about this one; suggestions welcomed!) Voldemort: Herbal Mist + Black Licorice
-
Mischief Managed!: More Trix Up My Sleeve + Pop Rocks Yule Ball: Hanky Panky + Yuletide Quidditch: Barn Wood + Fresh Cut Grass The Triwizard Tournament: Clover Fields & Aloe + Energizing The Great Hall: Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon Bread + Apple Cider Amortentia: Love Potion No. 9 + Enchantment Christmas at Hogwarts: Old Fashioned Christmas + Mistletoe
Felix Felicis: Sunshine + Badedas Chocolate Frogs: German Chocolate Cake + Chocolate Pudding Butterbeer: Buttermint Candies + Christmas Buttered Rum

For some reason when I think of Tonks I think of Monster Mash and Raspberry Rainbow.

Love the idea! I remember someone coming up with a few Harry Potter CASs but I don't remember them. I will have to look around and see if I can come across them.

oh and you probably could use Black Velvet and something else for Sirius! Just a suggestion

You could mix Sweet Angel Dust + Dark Kiss for Dolores Umbridge. Sounds like a really good combo and perfect for her personality

Let's see, Neville is really in to plants and herbology, so you could do something like Breath of Ireland + Catchin' Fireflies or Field of Dreams or Lemongrass & Cedar? LOL I'm really indecisive. Just throwing stuff out there.

I love these! I think you're spot-on with Trelawney because she seems to be such a hippie chick. I added Wood Nymph to my (ever-growing) April order list so I can try out your Luna Lovegood combo. I think of Snape as more of a tragic romantic figure so would probably mix Brandy Alexander and Vanilla Sandalwood, but I love the combo of the names you picked because it does sound very Potions-Master-ish. Sirius Black - Black Velvet and Sidecar Annie?(sounds funny but the description is intriguing: Top notes of Herbaceous tobacco leaf followed by a touch of sweet honey and finishing with a smoky leathery cedar wood, fresh cherry wood, and vanilla bean. Masculine refreshing and soothing very complex and memory evoking - a must try!). Dolores Umbridge - I'd go for Poisoned Apple for her evil side Gilderoy Lockhart - ummm… Sweet Talk for the 2nd note? I couldn't find anything with a serious cheese note or I'd have picked that. Lucius Malfoy - Crush on my Handyman (based on the notes of Drakkar Noir + Leather that it's made of, not the name) + Leather and Lace. I actually thought of Drakkar + Leather first, but saw that it was already done. He does have a hint of a flounce though, so the Leather and Lace would suit him. Professor McGonagall - Chantilly Lace + Chai Tea (or this could be totally scary, lol!) Harry is tricky. All I can think of is vanilla scents and cookies.

I tried the Luna Lovegood mix and LOVED it!! Those two scents mix well. Idea for the 2nd scent for Dumbledore - Lovin' Lemon? Or any of the lemony scents (thinking of his lemon drop addiction).

I was reading these to my 14 year old daughter who is the biggest Harry Potter Fan I know (her 8 yo sister is in training). After hearing how knowledgable you all are of the characyers she exclaimed "THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!". We will definitely have to try a few of these.

Haha, too funny disalan! stardustgirl- glad to hear Luna Lovegood is a good combo! I'll have to try it soon too. I totally agree with a lemon scent for Dumbledore.
