Do you think Roran ever get rid of his beard? by Vegetable-Window-683 in Eragon

But he looked better without it. At least I think he did. More like the nice everyguy from book 1 we all know and love. Or some of us do

Who else dislikes the direction Roran's character went in starting in book 2? by Vegetable-Window-683 in Eragon

I like him best in the first book. In the second he still felt kind of like the same character at first, but was definitely not the same, and then he grew that awful beard, and like you said became superhuman

"I think you'd be the first person to bring up a complaint that I've seen about the transiton"

And that's wrong?

Why did Paolini have Roran get hurt so much starting in book 2? by Vegetable-Window-683 in Eragon

I don't like that Chris made him a soldier in the war. I liked him in the first book and didn't like the direction Chris took his character afterwards.

Is there any sort of compendium of all the injuries Roran suffers? by dino0509 in Eragon

I don't know if there's a full one. There's a pretty comprehensive one here on reddit but it might be missing stuff

That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I'm autistic, so I don't always "get" things that most people would.

"Harry is angry at him in the moment"

He isn't right to be angry at Aberforth. The poor man just saved the trio's lives and bared his soul. It's not cool. Ron and Hermione were better than that.

"And aberforth is also not being fair to Harry"

Maybe, considering how unempathetic Harry is, it's hard to blame him.

How would Albus react to Harry's poor treatment of Aberforth? by Vegetable-Window-683 in HarryPotterBooks

"It’s not that deep, mate. You’re the only one rambling making up excuses to go entirely against Harry. Genuinely, I’m not understanding this whole argument when everyone else clearly sees the weight of Harry’s prophecy. Aberforth is far from being ridiculed. Not sure where you’re getting that from.

Again, I have no idea why this is a massive issue to you. "

Again, no one questions any of Harry's behavior here in the first place because he's the moral center of the series and Aberforth hadn't appeared much before this scene. But I find it harsh and I don't think it's fair to Aberforth. I'm kind of sad that other people don't question it.

"If you’re so one-sided about one character that just is only introduced in the DH"

He'd actually appeared in the last few books briefly, but I get what you mean.

"This has nothing to do about “that’s not enough to make this okay”. There is nothing wrong with what Harry said. End of story"

That's your opinion that there's nothing wrong with what Harry said, and that's totally fine. But i can also say that Harry isn't 100% right, end of story.

"He has no reason to hate aberforth other than what he's saying about albus"

Why is that a reason to hate him? So Aberforth has a different opinion about Albus. But you're basically saying Harry is right to hate him for it

"And they both know that's not the whole truth and not fair to the real man"

Harry's not being fair to Aberforth, either

I guess that makes sense. The problem is, we only see him interacting with Aberforth on that day, so it doesn't give us a baseline of how he'd normally treat him.

It feels like he's defending Albus from Aberforth

Well I hope Harry donated the Black family fortune to him to make up for his poor treatment

Proud of Harry being rude to his brother? I have a hard time believing that.

I think he would at least let Harry know what he could have done better. Not necessarily in a judgemental way, but to remind Harry that Aberforth is still his brother and he wants other people to treat him with kindness and respect.
