    Hadn´t you noticed?
    There seems to be a new ultimate law in Harry Potter DH...
    Everyone and Everything besides Harry Potter himself can gain new super powers without a good explanation!
    That was it what was missing.

    Molly can´t possible kill Bella?
    -No! You need to apply the law and *wush* she can.

    No one besides a Parselmouth (or someone who is possessed by one) can speak the snakelanguage?
    -No! With the new super special ultimate law Ron can do that!

    A cheap looking, stupid stone, which was for maybe more than 1000 years in possesion of one of the darkest families in history (and they never seemed have to noticed before) can never ever return the dead, because that is impossible?
    -Well, take three guesses and the first two don´t count.

    Completely agree with you. Rowling has desecrated the parsel arts by lettin Red Hot Chilli Pepper aka Carrot Head use that ability

    Edit - Ginger not RHCP

    Don't associate Ron with the Chili Peppers. That's just not right. Also, Carrot Head? Can't you just call him like, Ginger... or Ranga(sp?) or something?

    RHCP, FTW.


    Edit: So as to stick with the thread. I disliked the Snape scene. All it did was give the fangirls what they wanted. I despise such habits in authors.

    Well, thing with Ron is, he's a monkey. Even if you put him in a fancy silk suit, guess what? He's still a monkey!

    What can I say that has not been said countless times already?

    The epilouge. The parseltounge!Ron-part. And oh god, the fucking I-think-of-Ginny-as-often-as-I-breathe-Harry.

    Would've said more, if it wasn't for the fact that my brain repressed all the other memories of DH because of mental horror.

    Indeed.

    How about every one of the 'roughing it' scenes?

    I would've liked to have seen the alluded Ginny-torture after she tried to steal Gryffindor's sword, though.

    These scenes were a joke, a very bad one.
    Nice idea, but that would never happen in canon (sadly), even with all the "dark-scenes" it is still a book for kids. *sigh*

    But we have fanfiction and the Dresden Files and other fantastic series!

    Ugh, without a fucking doubt, the final battle was the single most disappointing scene I've read in any book. First, JKR kills off most of the characters that I really did like (Moody, Hedwig, Tonks, Fred), but then she gave Harry that lame, mystical pseudo-dead chat with Dumbledore. And then Molly Fucking Weasley kills Bella? Really? What kind of bullshit is that?

    And don't even get me started on the actual fight with Voldemort, if it can even be called a fight. Harry, who (in canon at least) has shown not a single glimmer of intelligence, somehow outsmarts a man four times his age, with a thousand times his knowledge and training, and goads him into killing himself? He practically tells Voldemort that the wand will backfire if he tries to use it on him, and the Dark Retard ignores him and tries it anyway. What the hell, Rowling? Way to ruin the fucking series.

    And then, there's the Epilogue. Albus Severus Potter? Could she have possibly come up with a more awkward name? And then, he actually marries Ginny. What the hell? How many people marry their high school sweethearts? I would have liked it a lot more if she'd just taken a complete left turn and set him up with someone he'd never even talked to in the other books, like Hanna Abbot or Tracy Davis. Anyone but that little Weasel Bitch.

    ^ All this has been said before, and all this shall be said again.

    Sorry for mangling the BSG quote.

    I think Rowling established right at the start that wizards don't have an ounce of logic and strengthened that belief over the first four books, so she could argue, when she wrote the complete heap of rubbish that is the retarded final duel, that what Voldemort did was expected since he has not an ounce of logic.

    Of course, he had a muggle upbringing so the argument won't work...(maybe she forgot this point)

    He didn't read the Evil Overlord List, that's for sure.
    He should have taken lessons by Nicodemus or asked a five year old, they would have told him how stupid his actions are/were.

    My personal low was the Hermione/Ron snogfest during battle.

    And it has nothing to do with the shipping.



    Throughout the series Ron has treated Hermione like utter shit. At times being downright cruel to her. JKR's excuse was that he had feelings for her. Most normal, key word normal, women wouldn't tolerate that shit.

    Ron makes one off hand comment about how house elves deserve to live and Hermione drops everything and snogs his brains out. To the point where Harry gets so exasperated because they're doing it at the worst time possible.
    Ron said nothing about creature rights or anything that Hermione was passionate about, just that they deserved to live. And with that one statement Hermione went from overly strong and confident, to the point where it was almost annoying that she had all the answers, to a blubbering mess settling for a middle end job and pumping out ginger hairs for that ruddy idiot.

    Hermione could have done anything in the world and was capable enough after the war that her blood wasn't a factor anymore. But all because Won-won showed a passing fucking interest in her if that, she goes batshit insane.

    There's an amusing little fanfic drabble that parodies that very fact - that Harry actually TELLS THE VILLAIN HOW HE WILL BE DEFEATED - over on LiveJournal. The url is http://community.livejournal.com/fanfict00bs/61873.html#cutid2.

    That was an amusing piece of writing and quite true...

    Absolutely. Harry was a respectable character through the fourth book, and well on his way to being a fine wizard. And then he just dumbasses his way through the next 3.

    I hate that somehow the sidekick got more action than the main character. JKR seems to have made everything All. About. Ron.

    And I hate that Tonks and Remus had to die because she saved Arthur-fucking-Weasley. And somehow a HOUSEWIFE, who's only talent before this was extreme bitchiness and a penchant for jumping to conclusions, beat Voldemort's right hand. Bullshit.

    Hated that Antonin Dolohov killed Remus because Harry was too much of a chickenshit to kill him while he had the drop on him in the restaurant.

    McGonagall is probably the worst head of house ever. She never once went to bat for Harry against Snape's constant load of shit. And even after seeing how the Dursley's were, just let Harry stay with them.

    And Sirius, for letting that dumb oaf take Harry away, just because Dumbledore said. Unless I missed something, Dumbledore does not own Harry.

    Another QFT. Beyond that, Ron never even respected Hermione. Or ever apologized for being an asshole or a shitty friend.

    And apparently all Kreacher needed was a hug. Bullshit. I liked how twisted Kreacher was.

    Another shitty scene that I do not believe anyone has posted on this thread: what the fuck was Harry thinking in the Ministry when he had Umbridge at his mercy and all he does is stun her?

    For fuck's sake, this bitch made his life hell for his entire fifth year, and she gets away with nothing but a stunner. Meanwhile, Harry uses the Cruciatus on Carrow just because he was being mean to McGonagall, a woman who has rarely done her job and stuck up for Harry. WTF.

    Yes, Umbridge had really deserved more...
    I mean, how many muggleborn died/were hurt/etc. because of her work?
    He saw what she was doing and still didn't do more.

    I wonder why no one ever wrote a story featuring the Blood Quill scars as curse scars. I could see quite a few possibilities: permanently forcing Harry to tell the truth, a vulnerable point in his defenses, contaminating (or darkening) his magic somehow, even long-term impairment of his overall health.
