The best bit about that, is that she was wrong. Harry was right that the HBP was a bloke. Hermione is your typical annoying feminist, fruitarian (guessing) animal rights activist who will end up strapping herself to a tree because someone wants to cut it down to provide power to the 3rd world...

 

When? Give me a chapter and parahraph number. I don't remember that and I don't want to read HBP again.

 

chp 30 after 19th paragraph approx to 21st paragraph. Or if you've got the hard back pg595-596.

She doesn't say I told you so but basically say's 'I was sort of right', which in my book is a big I told you so.

I don't really want to read the peace of crud any further so you'll have to read it. I really wish I could scower most of the book from my head.

I might try selective amnesia.

She doesn't sound like she's rubbing it in hence the usage of tentatively, and it's not really rubbing it in when you want to tell someone about Snape's parents, it could, nay is considered informing the uninformed.

 

Still, its a fucking harsh and tactless thing to say when Dumbledore just died.

You usually use "It's just that..." when you're trying to tell someone something contrary to whatever. True, it isn't that big a deal, and i actually see this being entirely in character for Hermione, but it is harsh.

 

That's because she was scared he'd rip her a new one.
Don't forget what Harry was like in Order of the pheonix, she was careful with him then too.

She's just trying to minimise blow out.

All quote's from the fucking book. If she wasn't rubbing it in then why did she keep going on about it. All the while she was pointing out She was fucking right. To me that's rubbing it in. Even the fucking canon Harry spots it, and he's a fucking retard.

I don't mean to go on arguing about this, we've all got our opinions. It's just I think she goes too fucking far in this.

P.s. I posted the rant here because the Half-Baked Piss to me was of fucking fangirl/boy quality.
p.p.s don't take my rant as personal I just Really Really hate Herman.

 

Yeah, she was definitely rubbing it in... even worse, the stupid bitch was wrong about Malfoy, wrong about Snape and she and her idiot boyfriend failed to protect the castle when Harry SPECIFICLY warned them what would happen. On top of it, Dumbledore just died and Harry had the Prophecy hanging over his head without anyone to guide him.

And with all that crap going on, what is on our miss-perfect's mind? That she was FUCKING RIGHT about some minor point no one even gives a shit about. Yahooo! Way to go, bitch!

 

If Hermione is so powerful, how come she was using the same 3 fucking spells that all the other students were using in DOM?

 

Exactly IP.
I mean mentioning something so fucking minor when someones just died, what the hell is wrong with the bitch. I mean all through the fucking book she's so fucking self-righteous I was rooting for her to die.

JKR say's more characters will die. I for one will keep everything fucking crossed hoping she'll off the fucking mudblood.
Or let Herman, Weasel, Ginslut die on the wrecked Hogwarts express. If that train don't fucking crash with them on it, I will be having a fucking arson's party with the fucking series.

I've been wanting to rant about this for ages.
The Bitch should bloody die, which is why I fucking hate fic's where she's still fucking breathing.

That's just the author trying to connect the plot-points - Hermione was progressing as an archetypal character into a human being through Books 1, 2 and 3 but she (Rowling) worked herself into a corner, I believe, with how Hermione was Harry's go-to when it came to Voldemort.

She explains that she hoped people saw the connection being drawn betwixt Ginny and Harry, and frankly, that came so out of left field it doesn't need to be discussed. So then, how go about getting someone who's still immature (Ron Weasley) to be on the same level as Hermione? I mean, everything about Half-Blood Prince and half of Order of the Phoenix seems pointless and there for filler.

You have Hermione checking her hair, doing stupid things like breaking the rules; that doesn't sceam Author-hackery? Lol. If anything, I've learned good and evil hardly matter since you're born that way, which is supposed to be the defining point of this - that where or what you are born doesn't matter. Tom Riddle was born evil and Harry was born good.

They didn't face the same trials, not in the least. And that's just rambling but oh well.

 

If that's the case then JKR should put herself on the doomed Hogwarts Express, or better yet let a decent author rewrite the series. Then kill herself.

I have never seen such a destruction of half a series. I mean the first four where good, but since then she's become so far up herself she'd need a surgeon to sort her out.

I mean she shows herself for an amateur with those excuse for books.
One minute it's our choices that define us, then it's coz we're born that way.
Wtf, did she get born again.
Litha

 

Excellent Ms. Riddle, wrecking havoc already.

But yes, Mrs. Rowling has certainly degraded the series into fanboy/girl material with everyone pairing up.

At this point, it wouldn't suprise me if Dumbledore came back from the grave and went off with McG.

*sigh*

It's too goody goody and nice.

Hey,

Personally, my absolute, number one, despised, loathed and outright hated thing about Harry Potter Fanfiction is non-magic stories, the stories where magic doesn't exist and Tom Riddle is usually a crazy drunk-driver or in one case, a sexual pedophile who raped Harry because his dad was a cop....but that's a totally different issie

Tell me honestly, in a world of magic and castles and flying brooms and wands and evil wizards....how the FUCK is somebody able to write a story based on the Harry Potter world where none of that stuff exists?

Furthermore, all of those stories are SLASH! I have yet to find one non-magic story (not that I'm especially trying) that doesn't involve Harry taking it up the arse.

The only resemblence that a non-magic Fanfiction story has to the Harry Potter books is that the characters have the same names and they look the same. Here's an idea to the writers....fuck off and write them over at FictionPress.org and name it your own damn story, because it is! You've just taken several common and uncommon names and wrote a story where everbody is gay!

It's also sad that the Nazi's Admin's (courtesy of DLP terms0 love deleting good pieces of work but have no problem letting these types of Fanfiction stories continue on.

Well...my rant is over.
Shezza88

 

Heh, I saw one those "non magic" fics today actually. Pointless garbage considering the whole of HP is about magic, and yeah it was SLASH. It also had over a thousand reviews, for what I don't know. "Malfoy's Boy" >_<

 

Yeah, with those fics its like suddenly no one discriminates against gays at all so they can all of the sudden be gay in public and not have to worry about a thing. While I think that this should happen in real-life, it certainly isn't like that right now, so it shouldn't be like that in fiction... but thats just my opinion.

 

Hey,
I thought I would rant a little bit more, this time, at several different topics.
1) SecondChance!Harry- Now, is it just me or have there been quite a lot of these popping out lately? These types of stories used to be my favourite until the pre-teen fan girls got a whiff of the idea.
The main problem with most of these, and I want to emphasize most because I have read some very good ones that I really enjoyed, the problem is that...well, they're just plain illogical and crappy.
Firstly, usually we have a battle-scarred Auror!Harry or something similar travelling back in time to repeat his Hogwarts years. When he get's back, he spends a few minutes angsting before plotting to change the future, but subtly so that the events stay the same.
Raise your hand if you see where he Fucked up in that line of thought.........
No matter how much he hates Dumbledore because of the manipulation/unkindness/stealing from his vault/sexual molestation (And yes, I remember reading a story not to long ago where Dumbledore sexually molestered Harry), the fact is that Dumbledore is Voldemort's biggest rival at that particular time.
If Harry knows that Voldemort will be stuck to the back of Quirrel's head like dog crap stuck to your favourtie shoe....then wouldn't it be smart to tell Dumbledore so that he could....ooh...I don't know, kill Quirrell...or better off, interogate him....capture Voldemort, shove him in a glass jar or a vaccum cleaner of something and leave him in a sock drawer for a couple of decades?

Secondly, most of these stories have Harry suddenly deciding to learn martial arts or sword fighting or knive-throwing or something uniquely muggle. Get. Fucking. Real.

"Prepare to die Potter," Hissed Voldemort, raising his wand.
Harry smirked in a slytherin like way. "You won't defeat me Tom/Riddle/Moldiemorts/Any-Other-Crap-Insulting-Name-That-People-Think
-Of,"
"Let's see, I have my wand and your wand," Voldemort hissed. "Er...I think I will, you fucking pipsqueak!"
"I have a Sword Voldemort," Harry said boldly. "and Daggers....Throwing Daggers in fact,"
"Shit!" Voldemort hissed and ran away, or got sliced up.

Tell me, would any army in the world run into a battle with a sharp, thin, pointy piece of metal against a bloody armoured Tank? Because that's what Voldemort is with a wand...a goddam tank who is very good at killing people. And throwing knives.....right. I'm not a professional or even an enthusiast, but I've thrown a few steak knives in the backyard in brotherly competitions before. Does anybody actually know how hard it is to get the tip of the dagger to hit the target? Let me tell you, it's almost impossible. Yet after three months, we have Harry running around throwing knives?

On a completely different topic, let's talk about Japan. Japan, if you didn't know, is a small island nation east of the Asian Contininent. A common fact is that everybody eats with chopsticks, bows, and has a sword in their house. They also fall over comically and sweat-drop and tend to scream out a lot of things with very big heads.

At least, that's what you generally work out reading Fanfiction. I am getting very sick and tired of crappy anime work popping up in stories that appeared to have so much potential! Let me just set the record straight for a second...
NORMAL PEOPLE DO NOT SWEAT IN LARGE DROPLETS! SWEAT IS TINY BEADS THAT FORM WHEN THE BODY NEEDS COOLING DOWN! IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SWEAT DROP TO GAIN THAT MUCH MASS! EVEN SWEAT HAS TO OBEY A LITTLE THING THAT PEOPLE CALL GRAVITY
Also, if anybody ever falls over comically because something stupid was said or done....then I hope they get a fucking concussion! Jesus Christ, if the person is so unbalanced that a simple act of stupidity will make them fall over, then I pray that they never watch Funniest home videos....

As stated before, what the hell is a japanese sword going to do in a MAGICAL duel? Any decent wizard would cast a sheild charm or transfigure the sword into a fishstick or something! And somehow Harry always managed to get close enough to the Death Eater to kill him. Granted, sometimes he stabs him in the back and I commend him for that...sneakiness and cheap-shots are the real force behind war...but in real life, it would similar to a guy with a knife trying to approach a SAS trooper with a very large machine gun.
When something is no less than four metres in front of you, wand or gun, even a moron could hit them! With a wand, it will be a hell of a lot easier as well! Gun's have recoil and are immensly difficul to operate without training...a standard Death Eater casts a first year spell and while Samurai!Harry is busy tap-dancing, he gets his head blown off!

Lastly on this topic, what the hell is the obsession with Japanese/Asian culture? Why the hell do people suddenly think that thier culture is more superior to ours? Frankly, their ceremonial dress looks crappy.
At the moment, Japan is a economic superpower. While they still retain some fo their long traditions, they have adapted to Western life. THEY changed to OUR lifestyle, not the other way around, and it's been that way ever since they got their butts kicked in WW2.

Wow. That feels....great.
I've got to head off, which is a pity since I was just getting into it.
Sincerely,
Shezza88

Stay tuned for more updates, including...
1) Christian!Harry
2) Gun!Harry
3) Slash!Harry (Oh, I've been dying to do one of these!)
4) Severitus!Harry
5) Harry/Ginny!
6) Harry/Hermione!
7) Harry/Malfoy (I refuse to write this arsehole's name!)
8) Manipulative!Dumbledore (I have a big problem with this on)
9) Quidditch!Harry
10) Vault!Harry

 

About the Japanese thing, it's because people love manga. And instead of writing MANGA fanfics they stupidly put it in stories where it won't mesh.

Harry Potter and Naruto crossovers DON'T FUCKING WORK!

I always cry when I see a summary saying. "Naruto goes to Hogwarts to *Insert gay plot device here*

 

Amen Shezza, amen. You are right about the whole Japan thing, they adapted to our culture. They really aren't that different from us, and they even aspire to be British/American. And about the second chance stuff, I don't think that I have ever bothered to read any of them except for Blot's one, and that was a good one because it was just humor and probably made fun of all of the other ones. The main problem that I have with the the blade toting Harry is the fact that most use the excuse that the swords are magical so he suddenly is able to use them like a Mastah within a few seconds of touching the weapons.

Edit: I agree. A Naruto and Harry Potter crossover is the worst kind of crossover out there because of simply how stupid the plot devices used are. The one that I hate the most is that Team 7 is needed to PROTECT Harry. Its even worse when Naruto and co learn magic a long the way.

 

Hum... it's hard to rant against a whole style of fanfics as there is always those exeptions that are quite good...martial artist harry is kind of funny though

About hermione in hbp... if you discount hbp about the whole power level thing, then i discount hermione's actions there. Beside, it does fit her character- fear of failure and so on. Sorry, i ws just making the point that hermione's attitude was the right one for harry, exept that harry is not hermione , so while she doesn't focus on anything, harry would.

oh, and about hermione using the same curse of everyone else... i think a wizard witch needs years to learn to really fight. and remember, in first year, malfoy was still working on locomotor mortis while she did the whole body bind...

Sorry, i know this opinion isn't the best here, but... i have a thing for intelligent women

 

Cudos for Shezza, you'll reach good 20K if your following rants are this long too...

Still, I'm kinda dissapointed that you forgot to mention the WORST thing about "second chance" fics - Harry's mentality.

I mean, Harry in these stories is usually 20-something Auror who had seen all sorts of shit and killed bunch of people. Then his mind travels to his younger body and suddenly, his whole personality is gone. He's not anymore 26 year old man, looking forward to building career, chasing chicks and having beer with his friends now and then. No sir, he suddenly turns into a true pre-teen, who only wants to play godstones with other 11 year old kids, exchange collector cards and lusts after some 10 year old redhead tart.

I mean, WHAT THE FUCK! Do these authors even know how anoying these brats are? They are fucking 11 year olds! What could a grown-up man do surrounded by them whole day long!? There's a name for people with mental disorder like that, and it's called MICHAEL JACKSON!

Not to mention how he usually starts snivelling and angsting at the sight of his old friends. Newsflash - THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAN THE FUCKING REDNECKS AND FIZZYHAIR!

Cheez, I'd really like to see a story where Harry tries to get close to his old friends, but find them anoying immature brats instead of twue fwiends!
