I don’t need to point out that, if people can be their own Secret-Keepers, then James never needed to trust Dumbledore, Sirius, or Peter, right?
Kind of invalidates the entire series, doesn't it? Goddamnit, Jo, I want my childhood back! In solid condition. None of that patchy memory, maybe-it-was-better-than-it-sounds-and-these-books-used-to-be-really great stuff.
Griphook then gives Harry some heart points for rescuing him from the Malfoys. Why is Griphook is finding this so incredibly, amazingly generous on Harry’s part when he’s been spending months with Dean Thomas? Don’t we imagine that Griphook and Dean saved each other’s lives a dozen times in that period? Or was Dean spending all that time kicking Griphook and cheating him out of bits of salmon?
LOL! This recap has kept me giggling constantly.
Nice try, JKR. But that whole “significant places” argument just ends up looking silly. Here are the places he hid his Horcruxes: an abandonned shack; Lucius Malfoy’s bookshelf; Bellatrix Lestrange’s bank vault; a cave he visited once or twice; a room filled with junk; Bathilda Bagshot’s body.
I’m really not seeing a pattern.
Hey! What are you talking about, there's no pattern here?! *Obviously* Voldemort entered the Lestrange's vault to swipe a few galleons so that he could rent the Gaunt shack for a night of fun with dear old Bathilda. He may not be fully human but he's a MAN, confound it! Of course, he had to make a few pit stops along the way: first to the Room of Hidden Things for a box of Trojans and then to Malfoy Manor to borrow Lucius's copy of the Kama Sutra. He'd spotted it a few weeks ago at a Death Eater powwow, see. As for the cave? Well, it's dark and green and evil and creepy in there, and those are the qualities that define a true Slytherin, right? Right?!
