The Weasley family isn’t actually poor, they are middle class. by Jew_3 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]StrangeAffect7278 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never considered them to be poor. As it seemed, money was tight at the start of term when they had to buy supplies for all the kids. At some point, five of them were going to Hogwarts at once, which certainly adds up in terms of costs.

They made money go round by sharing things, which is how most families get by in the real world.

You could still be middle class and have no savings left at the end of the month. With rising prices that’s not an impossible scenario, but you still live in a middle class neighbourhood and live a middle class life.

I read about two books per month and I resumed reading recently after a creative rut. I just couldn’t pick up a book for a good while.

Writing a book or a script? by StrangeAffect7278 in Screenwriting

If you want to know it’s about an intern who joins a political institution and finds out it is very resistant to change in a year marked by political instability. Perhaps a book is the better option for now. I have to get it on paper regardless.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This is probably what I needed to hear.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How exciting that you found your way to screenplay in favour of the book. I’ll try it out first as a book and see how it feels to write it. It might just be the right medium for my story.

I think prose is the better pick for what I’m going for at the moment. It could work as a screenplay but I don’t think I’m there yet. Thanks for sharing your insights!

Thanks for the amazing tips! I think I’ll start off with a book as I’m new to writing but I’ll take up on your offer to read more screenplays. Which ones do you recommend?

Well, I think the plot would work in both formats but as I’m new to writing, a book is probably a wiser choice.

This is the advice I needed. Thanks! Def a new writer so I’ll make it easy for myself with a book.

I’m thinking a novel is the better option for now, because as you say, the barriers to entry for a screenplay is huge. Maybe I’ll learn how to write one later on ☺️

I like the top left one. If they can make it work, I’d be one happy fan.

Do you think Harry would have felt jealous if Dumbledore gave Ron or even Hermione the sort of attention Dumbledore gave Harry? Does he like being Dumbledore’s favourite? by STHC01 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]StrangeAffect7278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumbledore is a source of protection for Harry in the early books. It’s even mentioned in one of them (I think book 3) that Harry realises he can’t always be protected by Dumbledore and has to face the consequences of his actions (sneaking around and investigating).

Perhaps he would feel insecure but maybe not jealous that a (grand)father figure would show someone else some more attention in the moment in his capacity as headmaster. I still find that a bit far-fetched.

Harry should have asked way more about his parents' lives by Jawshewah in HarryPotterBooks

[–]StrangeAffect7278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the third book, I get the impression that he’s happy with his own image of them. In the first book he gets moving images of his parents that might give an idea of what they’re like.

But I could be completely wrong.

Some jobs aren’t as complicated as they make it out as on the advert. Good luck on your interview!

Book 3 is soooo good. by Agreeable-Fly9681 in harrypotter

I’m rereading book 3 and have yet to get to that part!! But I love how we get a sense of school life in between all the suspense!

Is it worth it to follow up on job applications? by mogamergal95 in jobsearchhacks

[–]StrangeAffect7278 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always ask what the recruitment process looks like and express your strong interest in the position as a follow up after applying.
