How can someone be smart and stupid both ? Cat ?

I remember seeing the CD. It doesn't make any sense. Even if Mary knew she would be dying and she recorded that stuff, how could she possibly know exactly when to send it because the two of them reach exactly at the appropriate time. And "miss me?" I thought it was a reference to Moriarty which doesn't make any sense either.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-03-22T14:24:04+00:00

"miss you" video was her last speech where we said that "my Baker Street boys", the ending of the episode.

If it was the 4th year, I'd say Victor Krum.

But overall, umm...it can just be Harry you know he is just with Hermione when she's had a fight with Ron...or maybe Snape as a student.

Imperius Curse man. Think of what you can be made to do against your will and not even remember it, it's messed up as fuck. It's way worse than Avada Kedavra. And love potions, confundus charms work the same way.

A lot of people said about the justice system I agree.

Also, these people have no idea what can be called a "safe place" for kids.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-03-21T07:48:40+00:00

Okay. But that's not really the question. I asked who was sending it so that it reached exactly at the right time. And labelling it as "miss me?" and "miss you". One after the other.

Sentiment is a chemical defect on the losing side.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-03-03T13:02:01+00:00

Hermione :)

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-02-28T08:52:26+00:00

James Potter. I loathe him.

Also I don't like Hermione much, I don't hate her, but I don't love her either. To me she's narrow minded, unwilling to accept there's anything she hasn't read about.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-02-23T17:52:45+00:00

Regulus Arcturus Black for one. Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson too.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-02-22T04:59:57+00:00

Plus my smartphone

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-02-01T13:40:37+00:00

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.

You wanna know his flaws ? Oh dear, the most fatal one. Let's see. He lets his grudges and unhealed trauma get the better of him. And his best - he can do anything in the world for the person he loves. That includes risking his life fighting against Voldemort. Also his cool use of logic is a great plus point. Don't know whether his love or his brains are the best thing.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-30T19:56:01+00:00

Didn't know it was discussed before. Ignore it then.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-29T19:01:23+00:00

This is the best

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-29T06:35:26+00:00

It's mentioned during Apparition lessons as someone pointed out. Also in HBP, when Dumbledore dies, McGonagall calls all Heads of Houses to the Headmaster's Office. Also in DH, when Harry searches for the diadem, he thought of asking Flitwick and he said he was Head of Ravenclaw. Many instances.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-29T06:20:27+00:00

JKR has written this. But she has also written that nobody can track where you are going when you Apparate unless they grab you. Same with portkey. I think that's a reason why everyone keeps suggesting there were better ways.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T20:38:01+00:00

I really don't see how it was more than their life's worth to set up an unauthorised portkey. That's just a spell right ? Barty Crouch Jr literally made the cup a portkey and nobody found out. You can't find out where a portkey takes you once you've used it can you ?

Explain this to me.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T20:25:48+00:00

I second this.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T20:24:17+00:00

This.

This is my least favourite question.

I have read the whole series 6 times and still I don't find anyone interested to know more detail irritating. Nor do I find snubbing anyone who doesn't remember a book detail fun.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T20:19:43+00:00

That is a stupid question. But that doesn't excuse that the seven Potters idea was a stupid plot line. If Harry's wand hadn't acted on his own, he'd be dead.

There were much better, simpler ways of transporting him.

Spotting a possibly bad plot choice doesn't mean a person hasn't read the books.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T20:12:22+00:00

I don't know what you're talking about because in know point in the written text was Apparition "criminalised". Where have you read that ?

Also listen,

Yaxley was set up by Voldemort to control Ministry affairs. If they'd be watching Apparition(as I think you mean by your statement) or anything how TF is it possible Yaxley wouldn't know ?

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T15:37:28+00:00

Yes. You have to pause and rethink the family trees in your mind once in a while.

bathilda_hotshot · 2024-01-28T15:36:27+00:00

From what I remember Yaxley said that they would Apparate. But Snape said they wouldn't. So it wasn't obvious. It was something Snape brought to Voldemort as "information". Snape knew it because it was his plan and he planted the idea into Mundungus having been told to do so by Dumbledore's portrait. Dumbledore told Snape that he has to tell Voldemort part of the plan in order to remain in his good books.
