They're expected everywhere, but does Harry ever actually master them? Or is his inability a sign of his great integrity? it#s a sign of his bravery. He'd never go for anything that gave him an unfair advantage in a fight. Striking out of the blue is a Slytherin thing! Unless it's punishment, of course. Then it isn't a fight. And needn't be fair.
Not that Hermione finds Harry hot at all. She cleverly figured out her love interest in the first book and has stuck to him every since. No, she figured out which one was the straight boy and left it to Ginny to find out after 20 years of marriage. Serves her right for that Qudditch remark!
Actually, while that last comment is true imo, it never really bothered me because I always got a mother/son vibe between the two of them, like Hermione was the author's stand-in and Harry was her fictional child. Though considering JKR married a Harry-lookalike, maybe that shouldn't have killed the ship for me! OMG, where to begin? Well, first of all, mother/ son vibes are an incontrovertible clue for true love in this series (Harry/Ginny Evans; Ron/Hermione Weasley). Which makes your mentioning of a Harry-lookalike (is that really true?) even more troublesome, considering Ginny is certainly the sexed up version Hermione (the author).*shudders*
*Btw, in American schools (at least in mine) we generally cover our books in brown paper so Harry wouldn’t have had to switch covers. Do they not do that in other places? /cultural exchange moment In Germany, it depends on what your teachers tell you, but normally transparent foil is used, so you can see the cover.
Harry knows a spell to remove book covers. LOL, I didn't remember that one. So Harry has learnt the book cover spell by the beginning of sixth year, but at the end of it still can't stop a finger from bleeding? I can see why this is the best school in all the world!
Where would the man find time to be a Death Eater? He’d need a shelf of Time Turners just to cover Westminster during rush hour. To be honest, I wondered in the opposite direction and could never figure out why anyone would need that bus, with floo and apparating at their disposal.
Harry says there’s no way Stan’s a DE—he’s a spotty youth! LOL! Of course not. Harry has come to expect dashing looks from the bad people! Look at Draco and Lucius and above all Tom Riddle! And the Black sisters as well. Gellert will confirm that opinion in the next book.
As if Harry would give special treatment to Old Sluggy’s favorites. Try becoming one of Dumbledore’s favorites, Cormac, and then we’ll talk! Excellent!
Your lovesick Hufflepuff boys and the three aspects of Ginny the Awesome are made of win!!!!
