- “Oh yeah, cause Hermione’s always the one trying to solve every little mystery. Somehow forgot about that this year what with Malfoy’s secret plans and the unsolved murder attempts she couldn’t care less about.” Word. In fact, not only word, but she didn’t actually solve it! JKR mangling a character in order to suit her feeble plot – or am I just being paranoid. The saddest thing is that she could have stayed true to the original characters and had a far better story as well. She settled for the worst of both worlds. Silly Mare.
- “Harry realizes there was so much he never asked Dumbledore” He’s *just* realized? Jeez....
- “Unlike Harry who is always promoting his Muggle relatives.” I don’t blame Harry for not bigging up his Muggle kin. He probably knew nothing about them, what could he say. He wasn’t a bigot either – how much investigation into the Potter line did he ever do? A certain lack of curiosity was probably unavoidable for the sake of the plot, but he was an amoeba! I always thought the Muggle line had to stay off-limits because of the ‘big reveal’ about the Evans that would come out when he had the inevitable showdown with Aunt Petunia. Ho! (As in laughter, I’m not calling her a Ho.) And of course, we couldn’t hear too much about the Potters until we found out that James was a half-blood, not a pure-blood like we believed. Then when the part of Voldemort’s soul was destroyed in Book 7 it would turn out that Harry’s magical abilities were because of that piece of soul and he was, in fact, a squib! The story would end with Harry leaving for the Muggle world forever to avoid revenge attacks by DE. Ginny would refuse to live as a Muggle for love of Harry and would marry the obnoxious, but wealthy Zaccharias and I’d laugh my socks off. However JKR had a far more exciting storyline in store for us.
- “Harry doesn’t want Voldemort to find out about Ginny.” Because of course, Snape, the Master Spy, would never have noticed. We know he’d have kept quiet, but Harry doesn’t. Plus, just say Voldemort *did* want to strike at Harry through the ones he loved , surely Draco, anxious to save his skin, would share that information? Remember it was the talk of the school for those few perfect weeks? (Excuse me while I vomit.)
- I suppose it’d be difficult to have a large funeral for Sirius, the escaped convict and mass-murderer, but perhaps a few words for the Order in the Drawing Room at Grimmauld Place? To save time she could just tell us instead of showing us (snort). Or perhaps Harry could have just fondly thought of him a lot, especially at the beginning of the year.
- “I foresee some very bitter scenes between middle-aged Harry and Ginny.” I don’t – because he’ll be dead before he’s 21. Don’t listen to JKR’s lies. He has neither the talent nor the temperament for being an Auror, especially as every baddie from here to Sidney will want to be seen to take out the man who stood nearby as Voldemort accidently (and rather foolishly) killed himself.
- “Seriously, thank God we didn't get the scene many fans were imagining for DH where Hermione and Ron moved into the Dursleys and teased them for six chapters before the story proper got started.” The story proper? Is that some sort of joke? At least Petunia could have revealed some exciting and vital info. Or Dudley could have turned out to be magic, or Vernon could have been murdered. Better than that TENT!
