What an obnoxious whore, right?

Yeah, that's a 'mission accomplished,' right there.

Even without the Hitler 'stache?

I especially like how her original claim was that Eileen Prince must have owned the book, then (while they're scraping Dumbledore off the lawn and mopping up Bill's blood) she claims that because Snape was her son, she was right because of a tenuous, 'hurr, genetics... hurr, transitive property...' explanation.

Or on the grounds that Snape was a motherfucker, or something.

I guess as long as she felt it necessary to rub it in, Harry could have joined the party with, "That's fascinating, Hermione. Maybe you could ask Bill, to his permanently scarred face, what it was more important to be right about: Draco being a marked Death Eater with a mission from Voldemort, or which former student owned an annotated textbook, back in the day."

Fortunately, Harry is a nice guy. Unfortunately, he also tends to take shit that other people wouldn't let pass; which, more often than not, leaves him being the one who superficially looks bad.

 

That wasn't Hermione rubbing it in Harry's face. It was just JKR telling us about the book. Now that Dumbledore was dead, Hermione had to act as the 'Word of God' so that our curiosity about the book could be satisfied. But yeah it was a dick move.

 

It may explain why I was always a bit surprised by hate toward Hermione. I rarely identify with characters, and if I identified with anyone in HP - than it would be Hermione.

I also consider her a really interesting character, especially (probably completely unintentional) description of gradual assimilation by magical society, ending with muredering her parents via Obliviation.

 

So DLP would be happier if "Golden Trio" was composed of James Potter (TBWL) Sirius Black (Best Mate) and Remus Lupin (Voice of Reason/grrr)

 

I personally dislike the word 'Golden Trio'. Marauders sounds way cooler than that.

 

That could actually be a pretty cool plot bunny - what if the prophecy happened years earlier and it was James Potter who was the subject of it rather than his son. He wouldn't be the BWL because there wouldn't be any Snape to deliver the prophecy I suppose, and he'd have to take on Voldemort in his prime at the height of his power.

To be honest most Marauder era fics are terrible and it violates Potter Law number whatever because Harry isn't the protagonist, but it could be done pretty well. Some of the supporting cast around James is arguably better than Harry's as you said.

 

Naw, man. It's the curse-breaking, hot chick pulling, all-around bad-ass mofo Bill Weasley who's the Boy Who Lived. Molly, Arthur, and the Prewett brothers were all killed by Voldemort leaving Bill an only child.

Bill rolls out with Tonks and Fleur as the new Golden Trio.

 

Too bad they didn't call themselves that, either. :mrgreen:

It was the "Marauders Map," not the "Marauders' Map."
That is to say, it was a map for anyone who wanted to go marauding, not a map for a group called The Marauders. Hehe.

 

I didn't want to create a new thread just for this question, though it is about DLP instead of HP.

Which forum would be the most suitable for me to post a world building thread which takes heavily from minecraft? Other Fandoms discussion or Misc Work by Author?

I don't mean world building for a fan fic, just world building for the sake of world building.

 

You're right. Its written as the Marauder's map which could mean either a map for people who go marauding or belonging to a dude called Marauder so they didn't really call themselves that.

 

Other Fandoms discussion. Work by Author's for actual stories.

 

What's the plural of acromantula?

 

Acromantulae imo

 

It's just Acromantula. I popped out 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' to look.

 

Is there a way to transfer large amounts of text to a thread and maintain the word document formatting (like italics, spacing etc.)?

 

ctrl-c ctrl-v? DLP has a very annoying habit of keeping formatting.

 

It depends entirely on what text editor you're using on DLP, as chosen in your settings.

User CP - Edit Options - Message Editor Interface.

 

Is it ever state when exactly Sirius escapes from Azkaban?
