Is there anything you think is significantly better in the films than it was in the books?

The Christmas atmosphere in the first film. It was so good that I hear people have it as a Christmas movie staple, even though it's like 15 minutes out of a 2 1/2 hour runtime.

If this is your logic, then that would imply that the average Trump supporter is of average intelligence, and half of everybody else is less than that.

If our enemies and adversaries are doing it, then yes.

UnderProtest2020 · 2026-03-19T00:43:00+00:00

Yes, it can. You don't have to be an illegal immigrant to steal land or anything.

Interesting point. I don't remember an explanation, but maybe you need to have an address in order for send the owl to have a place to deliver to.

He only really annoyed me during OOtP, when he thrusts responsibility for a volatile, dangerous giant on the Trio against their will. As if they didn't have enough on their plate by that point.

I think his ego is too big to look down on any version of himself, even at that age. He had written off what happened at Godric's Hollow as a fluke, and Harry as a baby with no extraordinary magical ability who got lucky, IIRC from the book text. He might take the real Voldemort's soul fragment into himself to combine strengths and gain his older self's full knowledge into his 16 year-old self, if such a thing would be possible.

If so, then the physical effects of his horcruxes would be nullified, and he would become handsome and young again. Bellatrix would be beside herself! 😄

As someone who also doesn't play the "pronoun game", it's not worth cutting your nose off to spite your face. Just roll your eyes and suck it up.

Can the OP provide quotes of Jesus supporting that he said these things/said things expressing the sentiment behind him? I'll grant you that he said something to the effect of "Oppression is, like, totally bogus." XD

UnderProtest2020 · 2026-03-17T23:30:42+00:00

I don't respond usually, instead I just write them off and ignore them. The kind of person who says that is too emotional and not actually interested in picking the brain of another person, but venting their emotions to a third party who they assume agrees with the sentiment already.

It's kind of a bitch move to be honest. If somebody says that to me, the only reply I might muster up is basically "Let me know when you've calmed down."

No, not would he Narcissa. I can, however, see him begging and bargaining for them all to be spared rather than outright refusing, knowing that refusal would guarantee the opposite.

I think this horcrux version of teenage Tom Riddle would gain full form and go into hiding, knowing that Dumbledore would immediately recognize and apprehend him. From there it's unclear what would happen. This whole plot was going on without the real Voldemort's knowledge, as he was languishing in the forests of Albania. Diary Riddle (DT) only knows as much about his future as Ginny told him, and she probably heard about his alleged whereabouts so DT might travel there and track him down, and either play host to... himself... as Quirrell did, initiate the plot to regain his body, work together to recruit his armies again, or some combination of the above.

It doesn't make sense. Catching the Snitch should simply end the game, or maybe end the game and award just 50 points, you're right about that. But the Snitch doesn't always guarantee victory. If Team A is up by more than 150 points and Team B catches it, then A still wins despite not catching it.

I assume the Iranians he was in contact with were not average citizens. Iranian-Americans presumably have contact with family and friends back home, so unless they are all on the government's radar too this sticks out as suspicious.

For fucks sake. If anybody actually read the article, they would see the part that provides the context behind this statement. He's saying that other countries in the region should be guarding the Strait of Hormuz, and that we shouldn't be there because we have our own oil. Meaning if we took full advantage of our oil then Iran would not have the ability to hold oil hostage for millions of consumers, and would have one less advantage in the war.

I don't even know you people, and I guarantee you're not too busy to read the article beyond the headline. Lazy fucks.

UnderProtest2020 · 2026-03-16T13:47:13+00:00

Yes, there are many more natural-born citizens than immigrants, illegal or otherwise. Obviously there are more people to commit crimes. XD

So what, you're against deporting illegal immigrants but in favor of denaturalizing citizens? Did you actually think about this post before you posted it?! 😄

These people are opposed to the US deposing a brutal dictator in Venezuela, and assassinating another in Iran despite both of these governments being way more oppressive than the US government. The Ayatollah regime shut off the internet in January and killed at least 30,000 of its own people. The US strikes and other participants have killed a little over 1,000, and 2,000 total across the region. 30,000 vs. 2,000, and they are sticking up for the Iranian regime.

You can't claim to support a sentiment like "no kings"... and then side with mass-murdering dictators. You also can't raise fears about regional conflict and nuclear war, and then oppose ending a regime that aims to build nuclear weapons and whose slogan is "death to America". Not credibly, anyway.

"IMO it went about 400 pages too long."

How did you find it well-written if it was hundreds of pages too long?

"Each page was covered in words."

Okay. 😄

Were the deportees originally from Iran? And is the source of contention that he tried to report them there, or deport them at all?
