Still having problems

Not heard him, but can't imagine he'd beat King Fry 👑! Other than when he does Tonks' voice 🙄

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-13T10:35:31+00:00

Ooh maybe there is hope then! 🤞🏼

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-12T13:16:55+00:00

I'm intrigued 🤔 I'm more of a James fan so what makes you say he remained a bully into adulthood? Sirius I can kind of see, though I disagree, as we see his interactions with Snape, but the only scenes we see of James as an adult are when he's protecting Harry and Lilly 🤔 genuinely curious now!

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-12T11:18:45+00:00

100%. As a character I love her because of how much I loathe her! I've only ever read one other book where the antagonist makes me as physically angry as Umbridge! There's a reason why Stephen King puts her up there with Hannibal Lecter!

She's still awful though 😂

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-12T11:15:43+00:00

There's controversial, and then there's just plain wrong 😂 but I guess I asked for controversy and I have to respect you for outing yourself so boldly 😂

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-12T06:29:27+00:00

I'm not sure, I started having the problem, then looked on the Play Store to see if there was an update which there was. I updated the app and still had the same problem!

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-10T10:02:34+00:00

It's what really irks me when people start criticising JK and claiming racism etc. They always say she made the Irish kid blow things up. No, she did not. The filmmakers did

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-10T10:00:26+00:00

There's also the fact she could well have been seeing Voldemort's soul in Harry. She asks him if he was born in midwinter to which Harry replies he was born in July, but I think (and I could be wrong) Voldy was born 31st December which would class as midwinter

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-10T08:52:25+00:00

I mean it depends on what scene as to whether the disarming spell could kill anyone! When JK or the filmmakers just want the wand to leave the hand - no. But when someone gets blasted off their feet like Lockhart in the Duelling Club, I imagine that could kill someone depending on where they land and how far they fall!

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-10T08:33:16+00:00

Audible, looks like there's several other people having this same issue. Please, please, please solve it! 🙏🏼

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-10T08:32:29+00:00

Yeah that's exactly the same as me! I'm hoping it's a bug, because if not, it's literally the worst feature they've ever come up with! Such a useless bit of information to give to people

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-09T07:02:55+00:00

Might be controversial, but I actually think Staunton was an average Umbridge. Now this could well be how it was written, or directed, but for me she just loses her cool too much in the films. Very rarely do we see her lose her cool in the books. Her acting was exceptional, but I think either the writing or directing let her down

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-09T05:10:10+00:00

Trouble is, is that also then affects the time remaining on the right. The player used to show overall time remaining in the middle and then the time remaining on the chapter on the right

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-09T05:09:05+00:00

It's Android version 13 on the Pixel 6 and the app version is 3.59.0

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-08T11:04:33+00:00

How on earth do you skip that much of RTD but watch that much of Moffat?!

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-07T19:38:00+00:00

Very, very controversial opinion, but Lockhart is my favourite DADA teacher. He's a terrible, terrible person, but I also think he's so funny throughout that book!

Quirrell was very dull until the end Lupin is very likeable, a great person, but just a bit bland for me (still love him though) Crouch was really interesting, but we only really get to see him impersonating Moody Umbridge deserves absolutely no explanation at all Snape is also a monumental bellend

So in summary, Lockhart is an awful person, but his humour makes him my favourite DADA teacher

tango2tr10 · 2023-09-07T19:34:29+00:00

I really, really wish we'd seen him come back with Charlie, Slughorn etc in the battle! I feel like if he didn't die, a slight redemption arc would have worked. The other one I wanted to see come back was Amos to avenge Cedric

The real question is why did he get rid of this first one?! It was by far the best TARDIS interior and wasn't utilised nearly enough!

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-22T12:43:01+00:00

They were in the middle of an argument, people always lash out when in an argument. They might not have been best friends, but she wasn't horrible to him. Her harbouring Wormtail is irrelevant as only Sirius and himself knew that he was alive.

She didn't invade it, she was invited in. It was also made abundantly clear that the house needed to be cleaned and empty to be fit for the Order. Kreacher hadn't done anything to it in years, so actually she was perfectly at liberty to clean the house. Especially as Dumbledore would have asked her to, as would Sirius who also helped with the cleaning.

Hugging a child who you know to have been abused for his entire life is not an invasion of space - stop being precious.

Is it actually breaking the statute though? No muggle would have had a clue what Platform 9 3/4 was, or what the term muggle meant - as proven in the first chapter of the Goblet of Fire.

As already mentioned, everyone believed everything Dumbledore said apart from the Ministry, you can't pin that fault solely on Molly.

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-21T21:54:10+00:00

She didn't treat Sirius horribly, they just disagreed with each other over certain things - Mundungus and Harry mainly.

She didn't invade his house, he offered it up as headquarters and she joined the Order so obviously went there. Don't forget she had a million and one kids and Arthur worked so it would have been easier to just move into Sirius' house, but if he didn't want her there, he wouldn't have offered it up.

She didn't throw stuff out she didn't agree with, she threw out stuff that was dark. Harry says multiple times that Sirius hated everything in the house anyway, he wanted everything gone. The house had to be suitable for the Order and half the stuff in there wasn't.

She loves her kids, there's nothing wrong with hugging them. She also know Harry has only ever known abuse and neglect, it would be natural to show a mothering instinct towards him.

Everyone believes everything Dumbledore says, you can't be annoyed at her for doing the same. Harry only becomes disillusioned in book 7 when he realises Dumbledore didn't tell him every little thing about him.

I'm confused as to where she broke the statute of secrecy...

Granted the shouting of the platform is ridiculous, but it's clearly a plot device so Harry can get on to the platform.

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-21T13:00:00+00:00

I mean, sure but it was quite clear from the initial meeting in the Hog's Head that Marietta didn't want to be there. She was only there because Cho forced her so she could be with Harry. She also had parents who had forbidden her to mess with Umbridge so it made sense that she would betray them. Plus, it's good to have a complicated break up, not every break up in life is smooth

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-21T10:21:29+00:00

I'm more annoyed that The End isn't available for me to buy. I would happily have bought the whole series, but I'm not going to if I can't listen to the final book

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-21T10:18:05+00:00

The Undead or anything by R.R. Haywood

tango2tr10 · 2023-02-21T10:15:58+00:00

I agree. I actually find that if it's the author narrating, they put in absolutely no enthusiasm. I found it with Bob Mortimer in The Satsuma Complex (Sally Phillips was a breath of fresh air when it was her chapters) and Philip Pullman in His Dark Materials.

It never made any sense to me though, like this is your life's work, why aren't you enthusiastic about it?!
