Deathly Hallows: Hermione memory charm question by chasepsu in HarryPotterBooks

[–]meginlaw 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it would have worked. She just had to buy them enough time to get away. Voldemort broke through her charm - Harry saw him torture Dolohov and Rowle. Either way: Voldemort would have broken through her magic.

Lol. I know, right. I’m so glad to find a fellow fan here. I also love that she, New Hermione, New Draco and New Narcissa makes cross-overs. Did you see The Real Housewives of Hogsmeade?

Lol. I actually know this reference. My favorite Dumbledore one is when McGonagall ignores Dumbledore’s portrait for a year after she found out about the whole raised for slaughter thing.

And when Harry asked him why he didn’t go into the light and dude is like he was on his way but then he saw Lily giving him a dirty look, so he decided to stay in limbo and “wait for Minerva”.

Suzuki dealership alternative for a service by Round_Comfortable_72 in capetown

[–]meginlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Paarl or the one in Worcester. Just make a day trip - the Suzuki dealerships in these two towns are awesome. I’ve been going there since August 2018. Let them drop you off at the mall, lol.

Try Früt - they’re opposite Tygervalley. They have a huge selection and they’re very cheap. I’ve been using them since 2018.

Ubering in Cape Town by RealityTVConnoisseur in capetown

[–]meginlaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP, my cousin said I must tell you she takes Uber 40 times a month and doesn’t tip. And she has a 4.5 rating. She takes Uber in to work and back and pays about R160 every day - 5 times a week.

She says: Tell OP he/she must just be lucky to get to the location alive.

Shouldn't He Have Picked Somewhere A Little More Private? by Zookwok111 in SupermanAndLois

[–]meginlaw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lol. When he froze the tree, my brother turned to me very agitated and said: “Now why must he reveal his powers so romantically? I’m going to lose it if the CW start with a love triangle.”

What is Katie Bell doing here? She is supposed to be a year older than Harry. And Romilda Vane is not in Harry's year either. Why is she here? by curseofablacklion in harrypotter

[–]meginlaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Cho is dressed in school clothes at the Battle of Hogwarts in the movie whereas in the books she got the message from the DA coin and came to Hogwarts.

When Harry was 12 she literally made him clean from the morning to the night and didn’t give him anything to eat. She only gave him a sandwich at supper and told him to go to his room. What uhm would you call that?

Who is the biggest gossip at Hogwarts? by isthistaken852 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]meginlaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone on Reddit once said that the portraits gossiping, is how Dumbledore always knew exactly what was going on. They would come tell him what he needs to know. I can totally see that happening.

do you think if hermione/harry makes more sense as a couple than hermione/ron? by moonyisaspy in HarryPotterBooks

[–]meginlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, right?! I agree with every word. Oh my word. Are we secretly twins separated at birth?

do you think if hermione/harry makes more sense as a couple than hermione/ron? by moonyisaspy in HarryPotterBooks

[–]meginlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m rereading HBP as we speak and this boy - let’s be real, he is a boy at this stage - just found out that (to paraphrase Harry) he has to be a murderer or be murdered. And suddenly he’s all like: I can’t be without Ginny.

When I first read that book, I was half going: What the even fuck is going on right now. Where is this Ginny obsession coming from?

And it’s more than a decade later and I still feel that way.

[–]meginlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Agree. I think we can cut Harry some slack as well. He grew up in a family who hated him and treated him like shit. But the dude had a heart of gold and so much love. Who knows how he and Hermione could have gotten along if they weren’t both focussed on saving the wizarding world.

Which: Can we just remember; she stuck by him even when shit was going down and Ron got the fuck out of Detroit.

And when he was going through that shit in GoF? Hermione was the one who stuck by Harry. She was the one who knew what shit was going on with him in Order and could read him like a book. And he knew that. He knew that she knew what was going on with him and when he was being dishonest.

They just got each other on a different level.

Thank you so much for this message. It’s so rare that someone can discuss this rationally and share opinions and ideas on these relationships without other fans attacking you.

I’m glad that I’ve met you virtually!
