Here I am, trying to move on from Harry Potter but the series taught me so many valuable lessons that I've realized that it'll always be a part of me no matter what :')
Well, Dumbledore DID used to be in leagues with Gellert Grindlewald (second most power dark wizard in history, next to Voldemort) so I assumed that's what they're referring to. But, I disagree with it because he was a good man by the end.
I disagreed with some others in here too, but I won't go into those. :)
I thought it was more a reference to how Dumbledore was a 'good' wizard for trying to stop Voldemort and preparing a pretty good plan to do so, yet wasn't 'good' because that plan involved sacrificing Harry.
That's it! I'm re reading all the books and watching all the movies! I want to re live and re enjoy this! Simply reading this post makes me cry and immensely miss it!
Every single year I go back and reread all the Harry Potter books just so I don't forget all the wonderful lessons they taught me. Nobody will ever really understand just how much this series has changed my life. Sorcerer's Stone was the first book I ever read and in the 13 years since then my love for HP hasn't changed and it never will. Then, now, always... this story will stay with me forever.
What do you mean Draco taught us? He was a mamas boy and a pussy. Harry saved his life twice and he still rejoined the death eaters. Draco didn't teach me crap about how bad people can be good...
This is the most beautiful piece & so true of what the Harry Potter world of friendship & love means & things I teach my kids. I cried when I read this because it's so true & amazing.
I didn't say I hate them. I said they weren't that great. I said that they're predictable. So was Animorphs, but I loved the crap out of that series when I was younger. And I can see why ages 4-20 love HP, but they're all hype. I can't imagine learning all of the aforementioned life lessons from HP. You're truly missing out on life.
And there's nothing wrong with that, pebble. I'm just saying that for me it doesn't make sense. It certainly had its moments. I cried in the movie series a few times, especially when Sirius Black died. I just don't understand the obsession, personally. Doctor Who, I get. Supernatural, I get. Fringe, I get. But imo, HP was more of a one and done kind of thing.
Wait wait wait wait. The Doctor Who Fandom is an army of hypersonic Fangirls (and myself) who are constantly at war with each other over the possession of 11 (and soon to be 12) men, a war that is mostly carried out on the Internet. These men are also somehow absolute fools and cunning geniuses at the same time. HOW can you understand their fandom more than the HP fandom? Also, Animorphs had a lot of convoluted plot twists, I wouldn't say it was predictable as a whole.
Same reason I can pass college level physics with the only A+ in the class. And yet I still need to use my fingers for basic addition. Some things people understand more than other things.
Orphaned child whose living relatives hate him, but spoil their son more than we thought possible. Check. Educated and loved by a great wizard. Check. Dark wizard tries to kill him. Check. Is protected by greater wizard. Check. Character developing owl. Check. Would never seek revenge because has a heart of gold. Check. Does what his relatives never thought possible. Check. Defends the undeserving. Check.
What's this movie called again? Oh yea, "Sword In The Stone".
*tries not to cry*
*cries a lot*
I disagreed with some others in here too, but I won't go into those. :)
And technically "in love", not "in league".
What about
"Cedric taught me that friendship, fairness, and respect is more important than being well-liked."
Let the stoning begin.
