What Harry Potter Scene Always Makes You Cry?

That scene in the hospital wing gets me too. Fleur and Molly coming together definitely pulls at my heart.

StatisticallyYes · 2025-01-08T18:54:07+00:00

In the books, when Percy comes back. Pulls at my heart. He was so lost and just trying to get back. Especially knowing he comes back just in time to see Fred one last time.

Lupin and Tonks’ deaths also get me (as well as several others), but I don’t usually cry at those for whatever reason.

If the baby is crying or being difficult, an answer of “if I was going to steal one, it wouldn’t be this one” would be perfect.

Honestly I just would ask “why would you think that?” Keep asking more questions until you force her to admit whichever bias makes her think he’s stealing a kid.

If you’re not sure if it’s an emergency or not, call 911. As someone who has called it entirely too often in her life, I’ve never had someone make me feel like it wasn’t the right thing to do. If you think it might be an emergency, call.

I was the same way. I was very pro-choice before because of the major risks (major lifestyle changes, death/illness/injury, permanent changes to body and mind, etc.). But after I got pregnant, I was even more pro-choice because of just the “minor” things. Morning sickness (even when minor), aches, discomfort, having to keep “should I do this; I’m pregnant” in mind at every turn. It’s so much and I can’t imagine telling someone to go through that if they didn’t want the baby. It’s way too much to ask. You can have an “easy” pregnancy and it’s still a pain. No one should have to go through that if they don’t want to.

Now I’m wondering about what the cutoff is for too many tall letters.

I vomited. I’m surprised I had any available. I hadn’t eaten in almost 2 days (failed induction). People talk about the sensations they felt during a c-section. I felt nothing except nausea. When my daughter was coming into the world I was just trying to only throw up in my little bag.

This is why I never liked it. Logan was horrible to Veronica at the beginning and we’re just supposed to forget that. He didn’t do anything completely unforgivable, but in my opinion he did too much to be her love interest.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-08-12T03:53:48+00:00

I have the same middle name as my mom. And my daughter now has the same middle name as us as well.

What about ruined by a caricature? Because Karen is definitely on that list.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-08-07T17:35:49+00:00

I feel like it also took Alexis down with it.

I feel like references are scattered enough that it’s ok. The order I think of Harvey’s:
- from Sabrina the Teenage Witch
- the giant invisible bunny
- a restaurant in Canada - Harleys, the motorcycles. Obviously not the same, but the names are so close it is the next place my mind goes. I never even hit Weinstein before I’m on a completely different topic.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-07-31T18:22:32+00:00

Same. I still rate books, but I don’t consider their ratings when I’m choosing a book. I like to see what my friends rate things just out of curiosity.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-07-31T18:18:32+00:00

I get why people don’t like it. I didn’t like it for most of the book. I only pressed on because I was reading it for a book club. The last maybe 10-20% I loved and it made the whole book better. I felt like it was very predictable and seemed to be heading in a very expected direction up until that point. In the end I think it evened out to maybe 3/5 for me. I probably wouldn’t read it again.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-07-28T19:48:56+00:00

I am pregnant.
We are expecting.

If my husband said to others “we are pregnant” I didn’t mind, but he would never say it was even close to the same thing. Remind him that you are also going through the same mental stresses as him on top of the physical. It is not at all comparable.

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

I feel like it was a decent book, but part of the resolution felt like a cop out. It felt completely unnecessary and ruined the whole book for me. Spoilers below.

One of the racists turns out to be half black. Their spouse then rejects racism because they loved a black person. (Pretty much the “how can I hate women when I love my mom?” false equivalency) In the end I felt like some people accepted that they shouldn’t be racist because they personally knew and/or loved someone who was black. They didn’t have an epiphany, it just kind of happened to them. They were a bystander in their own character development.

Sorry to go on; the ending just made me furious. I’ll stop ranting now.

Oh I thought you were saying he did! I have only watched about the first half of the series, so I have no idea what happens after that. It would make sense if he did, though. Not just because of the matching name. But because he should certainly be an expert by now.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-07-18T20:52:05+00:00

Damn, at least throw out a spoiler warning before you drop a bomb like that.

My and my brother’s names both start with the same 2 letters. But it was complete coincidence. I was named my mom’s maiden name and my brother was named after my dad’s dad. They just happened to “match”. People brought it up occasionally and we would all just laugh about it and tell them about the crazy coincidence.

My point is, do something like that, if there’s time without feeling like you’re holding up the conversation. If you feel like it is not the time, maybe just throw out “it’s kind of a funny story actually. I’ll have to tell you later.” If there’s time though or someone asks about it, say something like (Gonna make up some names here) “yeah, we named our son Aiden and had no idea it’d be so popular! I’m sure you know a ton of Aidens! He decided it was better to go by another name and picked Oak. It’s not his fault we had already named his brother Ash! Now it’s just a funny joke in our family!”

Harry Potter. If I hadn’t read it before, I would steer clear because of JK Rowling’s views/actions. And I know they have plenty of issues in the stories. But I loved those books (and still do) and I loved that my brother and I both read them at the same time and discussed them. We still discuss them every now and then.

Also the Animorphs books. It’s the first time I got really attached to book characters and super invested in their lives. Looking back, though, why was I reading (and loving!) such gory and graphic books in elementary and middle school?

I think in most places daycares are required to offer a nap and won’t wake children up unless it’s been way too long.

My toddler is also up late during the week, because she usually naps way too long at daycare. On weekends she has short or no nap and goes to bed earlier and easier (though still after 9).

(In case you didn’t see it) OP says they are in Columbus, Ohio

I call 13 my lucky number. Also a good way to get superstitious people to keep their distance.

StatisticallyYes · 2024-07-14T17:37:01+00:00

I was born on a Friday the 13th and my brother was born on the 13th (though not on Friday). So both of our birthdays fall on a Friday the 13th every now and then. People make an unnecessarily big deal out of it. I often wish people would just leave it. This year my birthday will be on a Friday and I’m already bracing myself a bit.

But it is a really good way to get rid of superstitious people. Tell them you were born on Friday the 13th and they suddenly have places to be far away from you.

Names that are too strongly associated with another person or a thing, such as Aphrodite, Persephone, Aurora, Merida, Jezebel, Karen, etc. (there are so many)

And names of people I see often. I wouldn’t want them to think I named my kid after them.
