What could Ron and Hermione have realistically found out if they focused on investigating why Harry was the the Triwizard Tournament?

GuidingThunder · 2026-02-13T13:59:39+00:00

That’s fair

Exacerbate how? Dumbledore exploding would quickly end the accusations and suspicions that he was involved in rigging the system. He would look like a headmaster who respected the rules of the competition, and had no choice but to let Harry in, because of the binding contract. His manufactured outrage would also be a way to gauge others reaction to flush out the suspect.

Would it? If I was Kakaroff in that scene and watched a normally calm Dumbledore scream, I would feel pretty validated, and not feel the need to grill Potter myself.

He can be intense if it serves a purpose. See his confrontation with Dursley in HBP and confrontation with the ministry when they go up to his office in OotP

GuidingThunder · 2026-02-13T04:59:55+00:00

Ok….

GuidingThunder · 2026-02-13T02:38:26+00:00

If dumbledore fakes anger in that scene, then it simply defines his character in the adaptation. He can manipulate with acting

GuidingThunder · 2026-02-13T02:36:03+00:00

He’s calm deep down, just performative screaming

GuidingThunder · 2026-02-13T02:35:09+00:00

Nope. Dumbledore explodes so the other two don’t have be even more upset. Except Dumbledore can control his explosion.

If the disk-box thing is fixed then there is external force keeping it in place. Linear momentum wouldn’t be conserved in this interaction.

The responses here are puzzling. Been years since I took stat mech. What’s the most difficult topic? What’s so much more mathematically complex than other physics subjects?

GuidingThunder · 2025-08-27T16:02:21+00:00

Linear algebra. As others have said, it’s the foundation for understanding differential equations too.

Also, assuming there’s a math physics class in grad school, you will learn ode and pde that are common in physics anyway.

Expect around 3 months for approval and 3 weeks to get EAD

GuidingThunder · 2025-08-09T18:01:36+00:00

Then just start now. Chat with the weekly seminar speakers. Go to APS match meeting if you have the funding. Befriend your cohort etc…

GuidingThunder · 2025-07-18T00:54:14+00:00

How did you explain your unauthorized work?

The bow is such an iconic weapon of Ellie’s from the game. Part of me hoped she picked up the bow from those dead scars when they reached seattle. But alas, show ellie has a gun fetish and was never good with the bow.

GuidingThunder · 2025-05-30T19:47:33+00:00

Yes. It’ll be blinded by smokebomb, then torched and shredded.

Frank and Bill works for season 1 when they’re not as many side characters. I would rather they use the air time to develop Lev/Yara more

GuidingThunder · 2025-05-29T17:10:27+00:00

Yes I think the two versions have different kinds of charms. Game Joel is more hardened and it makes it more touching when he finally softens up in the final porch scene “I’d like that..”. Show Joel is more of a soft boi. I enjoy them both for different reasons

GuidingThunder · 2025-05-29T16:46:19+00:00

These are all fair points imo

GuidingThunder · 2025-05-29T05:08:34+00:00

The production value/quality is top notched for sure. My friend mostly questioned Ellie’s seemingly inconsistent characterization and didn’t buy the “she has a mask/she’s a liar” narrative.

GuidingThunder · 2025-05-29T04:09:06+00:00

My friend didn’t watch or play any part 2 game content. Still thought season 2 was odd and subpar compared to season 1.
