The fact that Harry turns out to be right about all his suspicions involving Draco somehow depletes the drama considerably.
Yeah, I'm torn on this issue. I like that Harry was right about Draco having more important things to do (OMG, me and Harry had the same prediction! *kills self*) but I don't like the whole 'Oh, if only someone had listened to Harry, he's so oppressed, his instincts are always right' bit.
Oh Harry, don't encourage all this "Phlegm" stuff. Ginny'll start thinking she's funny and she'll do it all the time.
I know! Bad enough he's paying Fred and George to be irritating. It's like a two year old swearing - if you laugh, they'll just do it more!
Oh sure, he wants a stable home life - but he's a romantic!
Listen to your heart, Harry! Don't sell out to The Man and obey all those petty bureaucratic rules and restrictions like your wedding vows! You're a rebel!
The fact that Fleur thinks Ginny would look like shit in pink and is actively seeking to avoid this suggests that she actually doesn't want her future sister-in-law to hate her guts.
No, it's Fleur's evil in ignoring Ginny's powers of Sueness. She'd look good in everything! But yeah, agreed. Mind you, if I were Fleur, I wouldn't be having Ginny as my bridesmaid at all, and fuck family and politeness.
Mrs. Weasley might be a good cook, but she's got no sense of style.
I guess she doesn't need one, since she's plump and her only role is mothering and cooking for the menfolk...
*makes note of Ginny/Ron subtext, har har*
LOL. The only combination in OBHWF I could get behind! (Doesn't she comment on his experience later? And make incest aspersions? Oo-er. ;)
Oh Harry, you lie so much. You love the sensation of standing in a very bright spotlight. If you lost all this, you'd be absolutely devastated. So stop complaining.
THANK YOU. If I knew how to make the thumbs up sign, I'd be doing it now. Word x100000.
Poor Marietta and her face :( *smacks Harry for finding it funny*
Acne, like fatness, is something that happens only to the deserving (quite literally with Marietta, I guess) so it's okay to laugh at it. Unlike those superficial Slytherins who mock the way people look. They're just being jerks. And ugly ones! Anyway, thank god Hermione's left the spell on for over, what, six months? And that Harry's still amused by this. Keep twisting the knife, guys! What would we do without someone's misery to exalt in?
Ginny's measured wit strikes again! Ooh, burn!
Yeah, it kinda weakens the whole fandom 'OMG Draco is so childish and unfunny, even in the WW'. No, really, it's just that everyone has a dumb-ass sense of humour. Harry does his after school special style comebacks ('Warrington's aim is so bad, I'd be worried if he were aiming next to me!' Oh, LOL, u so funny!) and calls people 'git', Draco has 'Potty and the Weasel', Hermione laughs at dick jokes, Ginny's just a bitch, and the less said about the Twins, the better.
Can't help thinking she may be considered for possible alternative talents.
If you're popular with menfolk, it's only because they with their natural superiority and intellect sense your inner goodness. Yup. So put out and win their love!
Oh yes, because Harry and Neville weren't invited on the strength of their parents' fame AT ALL. Not at all.
That's different. It's not judging people on their blood, it's just honouring your parents sacrifices and inheriting their good qualities. Or something.
I'm sorry, but it just makes me shudder with pedantic disgust.
Me too. Even when Rowling does it.
That's what it's like. Have fun being outraged at being treated like that.
Really. (Although Harry would also have had his friends assisting. He's brave like that.) And ya gotta love Harry's 'I hope everyone thinks I was battling evil (not that I care about glory or what people think.) I wish I had a chance to go at Malfoy one on one.' Um, Harry, you did. And you got served. Suck it up.
