    Oh my god...I just came to the realization that Harry’s indeed emo … I mean in cannon he wallows in self pity, is shy and bashful and doesn’t have any remembrance of a backbone and most of all he is sad because he is destined to kill or be killed by the one who eradicated his parents. I’m not an excessively violent guy but I would do *anything* to stay alive in those circumstances and hopefully kill that motherfucker and the fact that I would became a killer would be the last thing on my mind. Actually the only thing he's missing from a true emo’s repertoire is the abnormally tight clothes…don’t you agree?


    Also there has been an error and instead of the three choices for the poll only 2 have appeared

    Don't crucify me for that please

    I f you want take the second choise as NO

    Uh...Actually no I don't agree Harry's more of the stereotypical (note the steroetypical I don't need all these athletic guys coming to my house to beat me up) idiotic Jock. Well since HBP at least... Before that he'd probably be more of an Emo.

    Why are there only 2 choices o_O? And how could you possibly spell the thread name wrong?

    Least you're not calling your daddy. -pictures malfoy-. You should do the intro thing before people start commenting on how late you are. Like they did to me.

    What does emo have anything to do with Harry Potter? We are talking about a British wizard from around 1998 are we not? Not an american punk subculture of 2000.

    The fact that you take the term 'emo' and use it to stereotype a group of people and imply that they are all shy, bashful, depressed, and weak minded, seems to me as if you have certain prejudical issues concerning people and the music they listen to.

    Emo is a music genre, there is no need to be going "OMG HARY POTER is like so emo!1!11!! If I was any cooler I might threaten to beat him up...LOL"

    Someone for god's sake please fix the thread name, if you need a reference his name is spelled like so: Harry Potter

    Hey Inferi (a.k.a. the stuck up bastard who can’t take a joke without invoking the equal rights movement) I misspelled the sodding thread name…alright I’m guilty throw me to the lions (or better yet to the sharks ‘cause I can’t swim). The emo thing was just a joke…I’m sorry if I offended anybody who likes that kind of music or if I offended everybody’s favorite book character…jeez


    And I was not going "OMG HARY POTER is like so emo!1!11!! If I was any cooler I might threaten to beat him up...LOL"…oh wait…it’s true…I was…but only on the first part.

    And furthermore I’m sorry little old me has scratched your cornea by humbly misspelling the thread name...BITCH

    Haha, you have a point. I do think his survival instincts will spring up and take over in Book 7, or it will lose any semblance of realism it has thus far displayed, imho.

    Harry Potter is not emo. If anyone has a right to wallow in self pity, it is Harry. Lets see he was abused as a child, people have been trying to kill him since he was born, and he sucks when it comes to finding a good girlfriend. The only thing he really has going for him is that he doesn't have acne, and I don't see that being the thing that defeats Tom. Also, being emo is not just about wallowing in self pity, it is also about cutting.lol...Seriously though people need to stop using the word emo if they don't know what it means.

    Finally someone who agrees with me (I though I was going cucu for a moment there) .Before other people named Inferi start jabbing at my neck I meant Harry has a personality that is generally displayed by people who listen to the american punk subculture that gets it’s name from a diminutive of ‘emotional’ or ‘emotive’. I did not meant that Harry listens to Fall out boy or Bullet for my Valentine...ok?

    Ok…everybody is entitled to a opinion and if you think Harry is all but emo then it’s fine with me… I just thought that maybe Harry has to stand up for himself and not depend on others

    and by the way...cutting what? Not all emo's are suicidal you know...

    AND I KNOW WHAT EMO MEANS

    I may be a lot of things but I am not ignorant

    Now fuck up.

    You will be criticized on DLP, and your opinions will be challenged. Don't like it, then fuck off.

    You really should have had more than 2 options to vote for, I mean both of them agree with your point. How is that a neutral vote?

    As for the definition of emo, I found a link for you.

    emo definitions

    Take your pick as there are a lot of definitions, which means you all could have the correct one. Don't you just love slang words.

    Also I would like to take to tell you all: I KNOW

    Those definitions were funny but if you really want to get a kick you should listen to ‘the emo song’-best definition there is :p
