  1. RON: You're NOT going in there! HERMIONE: Perhaps you're right... what's Seamus' condition? RON: Well, I don't think that he... HERMIONE: Petrificus Totalis! ... sorry Ron, I really don't have time for this... remember.
  2. Are you out of your mudblood mind? No human can tolerate the dark magic that's in there!
  3. Shouldn't that have been in earlier books? Either way, her character was butchered. What war? I didn't see any war. I saw some newspaper articles, but this was not the war epic I was expecting it to be. And when battle scenes do come around at the end, Rowling uses a lucky potion after she's written herself into a corner. Really, there was no feeling of dread or a world at the edge of its precipice. Oh, come on. No feelings of revenge, no remorse or regret. Harry's not even human anymore, he's worse than a Vulcan. Hogwarts is suddenly giving out free samples? I swear, this is like fan fiction at its worst. Again, I was expecting a well written epic, with relationships that actually feel significant, not stupid crushes and infantile jealousy by characters acting out-of-character. I thought Rowling was deeper than that, but I guess teen-crushes in her point of view is really "twoo-wuv"! :roll:
  4. Everything that was wrong with HAP: - Super!Ginny.- Dumbledore's stupidity. - Hermione on permanent PMS with a pointless jealous streak (her character is the real death in this book) - People are dying left, right and centre, but leave it to the trusty "Daily Prophet" to tell us second hand what's going on. - Harry forgetting his Godfather was murdered a few weeks ago. - Every second page littered with "snogging" because Rowling was having writer's block. - Fundamental inconsistancies with the previous books such as the use of love potions, Voldemort's choices (are we led to believe now that he was born evil and we're to ignore Dumbledore's speech to Harry in COS that it's our choices that make us who we are?) - Flippant writing style in the last few chapters (ie. these characters have lost their humanity, for example Harry giving his Spider-Man speech to GinnySue during the funeral with laughably bad dialogue - "We could have had months... years even." )I can't go on, it's as if every character in the book was on drugs. EDIT: I'll rank them... 1. Order of the Phoenix 2. Prisoner of Azkaban 3. Philosopher's Stone 4. Chamber of Secrets 5. Goblet of Fire ... ... ... 6. Half-Blood Prince
  5. Order of the Phoenix... then she crashed with Half-Arsed Prince. Rowling, what the hell happened to you!?
  6. Hermione: "That red-haired son of a bitch. It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost."
  7. Oh, Harry, it was You-Know-Who! We picked him up at Thames... He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He must us... say lies... do things. He thought he controlled us, but he did not. Neville was strong.
  8. Oh do you? Do you have any idea, Ron, how many times I have had to listen to Hermione on the comm, telling me her trouble? Do you have any idea of the ribbing I've had to endure in the Gryffindor common room... to the effect that Hogwarts is a static death trap?
  9. Of course! We are one big, happy school! Ah Potter, my old friend. Do you know the Goblin proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in Slytherin.
  10. Now, now, Mr. Bulk. Young wizards, fresh spells. Be tolerant.
  11. My friends... the great experiment.... the Firebolt.
  12. Please Captain... not in front of the Potterfans.
  13. The look of the site is just fine. Just the forums need updating.
  14. Gee, dunno. Wait... what the hell am I doing here? Gotta watch "Sports Tonight" on Channel 10! EDIT: GO THE TIGERS! ... now onto Channel 9!
  15. I will not rest until "Ewok Celebration" is restored!
