Harry Potter does NOT have long hair, is NOT delicate and feminine and should NOT be described as if he were a Taiwanese ladyboy.

 

Amendment: Dumbledore can not be portrayed as the hero in any independent fic. He must be seen as someone you don't want to get along with.

Metro Clause: No serious homosexuality (as in important as in "Of Gods and Men (really good fic if you can stomach the whole H/D mating thing. I just copied and subbed the D for a Fleur) or "The Shiverin Descendant") unless you make Harry Uber metrosexual. Than your story is just illegal and should be shot burned and explodeded

 

A 150 pound wizard turning all of his mass into pure energy would be three times more powerful than every nuclear weapon ever detonated.

 

I fail to see your logic. Explain?

 

Harry will never even think about using his godly poewrs to remove Snapes dark mark.

 

* Harry will not make a list of things to do to become emo/angst.

 

Lol, Is that a number you actually calculated or a number you just made up?

 

No thats the actual number according to Einstein's theory . There is nothing wrong with his calculations. Check here in Wiki

Though I really doubt that a wizard can successfully convert his matter into energy.

- The main characters of HP are teens and as such are not mature enough to understand the meaning of love at first site. It will most likely be lust at first site. And attemts to convey a love deeper than an ocean amoung teens is the work of a deluded mind that still festers in the third rate romance novels. Teens (atleast the males) are generally more interested in sex more than lasting relationships.

 

To clarify some recent rules that have not yet been added to the official list and put my own twist on them . .

Neither Draco nor Lucius Malfoy are male Veela. Fanatical racists would not willingly copulate with distinctly nonhuman entities with dubious Ministry classification which are used as Quidditch mascots to produce children who would not fall under the classification of pureblood.

Harry Potter is not "Dumbledore's Man" or any other arguably homoerotic classification indicating slavish loyalty to any authority figure other than himself.

Bellatrix Lestrange is a middle-aged escaped convict in service to an inhuman megalomaniacal monster having served fifteen years in a stone cell with almost no care to hegiene (sp?). Thus, she is not attractive to any male with taste or . . well, eyes. Should Harry Potter encounter Bellatrix, he shall not undertake to understand her point of view, hear her side of any story, or determine if she is under mind controll influences. He shall instead kill her, preferably after torturer. Perhaps involving the creative use of plastic sporks.

The term "Slytherin" shall not be used as an adjective to describe actions or thought processes that involve cunning, guile, common sense, logic, or the effective use of political power. Canon has consistently shown Slytherin house to have the collective cunning and cleverness of a first year Neville Longbottom attempting to remain unnoticed in his Potions class after ruining his third cauldron.

Potions are ingestible substances that contain inherent magical properties mimicking the effects of certain spells on the body of the consumer, such as transfiguration, repair of the human body, temporary increase of certain attributes (intelligence, luck (*cough*deusexmachina*cough*), or to induce certain states of being such as coma-like effects. They cannot grant magical abilities and skills, such as elemental powers or the transfiguration knowledge to master the animagus transformation, instead of the normal human-to-animal transfigurations as seen in the Canary Cream.

 

e=mc^2
150lbs would create an explosion equal to 1461.5 megatons of TNT, or the equivelant of 1.5 million Hiroshimas (21 kT). It would completely level anything within a 500 mile radius, create an expanding fireball similar to the ones in Independence Day for 2000 miles, etc. If this occured in London (IE Ministry of Magic) it would kill up to 10 million people.

 

I think I may need to comment on some of these:

Sure, we all agree with the homoerotic part - but using the term "Dumbledore's Man" indicates loyalty, but not necessarily slavish loyalty. Now, I know it was in HBP, but in that book Harry indeed agrees to that appellation.

Well, sure - except that we really have no idea of what she might have done AFTER her escape - it has been years by the end of HBP that's she's been out after all. And if her sisters and cousin are any indication, beauty runs in the family.

Well, certainly Draco, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Flint fall under this category - but what about Snape, Slughorn, Lucius, Voldemort, Blaise (briefly)? They seem to, at several occasions, seem quite competent and cunning.

This is a nice thought, but I don't see why potions can't be used as long as they are not OVER-used or used badly - case in point, the recent Yin or Yang story by ip82 uses potions quite well.

Well, just my own two cents.

I hold by my comments on the use of Slytherin as an adjective. Lucius is extremely obvious to anyone who thinks for themselves rather than with their wallet or the Daily Prophet. Voldemort has a habit of creating needlessly complicated plans to kill Harry without ever actually succeeding, but, indeed, has a measure of cunning and guile. Snape is perhaps the most Slytherin, except that when confronted with a sufficient emotional situation, he loses all semblance of self-control. Slughorn is far too obvious and possesses no sense of subtlety. His altered memory shows that, as well as the ease with which he gave it up. Not to mention, he possesses no common sense, having known that Harry wanted something from him that he did not want to give, but gave him a potion that increases his luck dramatically anyway.

So, while we have seen Slytherins successfully display the traits that are stereotypically associated with Slytherin house, it has never been in sufficient amounts to justify using their house as a synonym for those qualities, since they are simply shown in the amounts that are normal for a grown human used to working in the shadows. The current generation of Slytherins has never shown any Slytherin tendencies other than bullying, except during HBP, which I ignore. To me, this says that those qualities associated with Slytherin house are actually the qualities that are honed and sharpened outside Hogwarts when one's House is less important and no longer defines one's role.

 

I agree with everything you said except this. The Slytherin ideals seem to be about subtlety, guile, and cunning. Loudly proclaiming how great you are and how smart and powerful you are seems to be the antithesis of Slytherin, while the quiet, unassuming ones who gain power without being noticed or becoming a target seem to embody that ideal. Sadly we've never seen a "true" Slytherin, and they're all far too egotistical and brazen for their own good.

Even somebody like Lucius, who used bribes and blackmails to consolodate his power has a glaring problem: A "true" Slytherin wouldn't follow anybody, regardless of how powerful he was. You would think a family line that boasts how pure it is would hesitate before following somebody who can't even validate the blood purity of his parents.

 

Can we get the updated list on the first page, instead of being buried 9 pages in?

 

Excuse me whilst I bitchslap you. NEVER mix english and metric units. You cannot use pounds in that equation, period. Pounds are a unit of force, and a bad one at that. If you are going to use english units use Slugs and feet per second for the velocity of light. If you are going to use SI units use kilograms and meters per second to yeild joules. Proper units result in proper answers. Pounds or miles per hour result in gibberish.

80kgX(299792458m/s x 299792458m/s)=7.2X10^19 Joules (mxkg^2/s^2) or 1714 megatons of TNT

I'll step off the engineering soapbox if you agree to at least look up and answer you don't know for certain. Sorry to rant.

 

...Ok...

I see someone gets a little worked up on trivial mistakes...

:::

Should Harry Potter encounter a dangerous situation he is not prepared for, he will promptly run way and leave the unfortunate victims to die rather than hope for the incredible luck that has helped him in the past.

 

Guilty, but then I hate the english system of measurements with a passion so it carries over some. A decimal based system like the SI units ("metric") makes so much more sense and your equations look much neater when expressed stoichiometrically (if you don't know/use that just subsitute "written out" for the last two words. I like that method because I can see all my units and cancel or change them without screwing up a conversion.).

 

True, I hate the US Standard system as well.

SI is by far the easier and cleaner system of measurement.

I'm also guessing you are/have doing/did stoichiometric equations in chemistry too? Fun stuff, right?

*Looks at the rather large assignment from AP Chem*

Harry shall never use 'Pounds', 'Miles', 'Inch', and 'Gallons.'
