Harry Potter and the Deathly Spoilers

But first:
1) I really, really enjoyed the book while reading it and I really, really like it as a whole.
2) After skimming through my f-list, I can smugly say that I totally should've bet about who was gonna like it and who wasn't gonna and why when I was entertaining myself thinking about it last Friday. :P And all while managing to remain unspoiled.
3) Those who are saying this is the worst book ever in the history of Literature haven't read much.
3.1) I, of course, won't dare to claim this is the best book ever because, hello! Bookworm ~~talking~~ typing! =D
3.1.1) But I still like it.
4) Using icons with spoilers so soon, specially as the default ones, it's of very bad taste if not outright trollish. o.o IMO

Now, let's talk business. Randomly, of course.

Let's begin with the title. The picking up of old fairy tales in the original versions (and in runes, after the boys mocked Hermione for choosing to take that book with them) was absolutely made of awesome. Of course, I'm a fairy-tale geek, so the very mention of their existence made me happy. And Ron (and, by deduction, most wizarding-raised children) not knowing about muggles fairy tales was not only the other side of the coin, but a lovely and logical detail.
Also, the Tale of the Three Brothers kept the structure of a traditional fairy tale, including the ever important number three, so yeah, I'm quite delighted.
Now that I think about it, I think it'd be fun to make an analysis about the number three in the HP series. Any takers? =3

Harry and Hermione being both dumped by Ron alone for weeks with nothing happening between them, just for the prodigal friend to come back and literally slay HHr made me think JKR is a mean bitch who hates Harmoanians. *wiggles thumbs*
Still, that bit was amazing. Ron had to face his own fears and he won. He's still afraid of spiders, but that doesn't matter. The point is that now he's a little more a master of himself, which is what the whole 'growing up' thingy is about.

So, the doe was the Lady of the Lake? =D
Though I was thinking more about Morgif than Excalibur in that scene and how much luckier Yuuri was. XD

Merlin's pants FTFW!

Xenophilus Lovegood. Let's focus first on the name itself because I adore it.
According to my very bad latin, Xenophilus means something pretty much like "friend of what is different/foreign", which describes the character and his line of work perfectly. Of course, that's not new for Rowling, but it's also hardly exclusive to her. Besides, I love the way it sounds.
The Lovegood surname it's also quite lovable and more obvious.
About Xeno's storyline: just. Poor. Guy. DDD: Srsly. I don't think he was a coward. I think he loved his daughter very much and he knew the DEs wouldn't stop to feel any remorse about torturing a girl whose relatives were helping their enemies. I like to think the trio forgave him afterwards because they understood that he thought he didn't have any other way to get Luna back unharmed. Hermione did at the very least, and I'm sure she managed to convince the other two.
Anyway, even if Xeno was planning to betray them, he gave them what at the end was true information.

Kreacher. I never thought I was going to end up liking him as much as I do now. I wonder what he thought when he found out that Harry buried Dobby. Because he'd to find out, just like the rest of the elves. Thus, Harry and his descendants will never have to raise a finger again. XD

About Dobby, he died on a rescue mission! He had a noble death! And his last words were Harry's name ~~thus giving me more fodder for that pairing~~. *cough* Talking seriously, it was a very moving scene and I liked the way it was handled, with Harry digging by hand, the physicall effort helping him to cope with the pain. D:

After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that Hedwig's death was the DE equivalent of kicking the dog. Only because Harry didn't have an actual dog.
Uh, didn't JKR said Harry was going to have another pet besides Hedwig? There was one and I didn't notice? Oo;; Was it the dragon? Kreacher? ~~Draco?~~

Draco Malfoy, The Ultimate Plotpoint. How's that, huh? XD And he never knew! Well, maybe he found out later, but still.
I liked the way he was all reticent to even go and confirm they had Harry Potter&Pals in the living room. I don't think we was being "lame" at being evil; I think he was stuck in shock because "Being a Death Eater and serving and enduring Voldemort's antics isn't what I thought it would be".
While I'm here, let me say JKR was very kind with the slashers. Last book, Harry slashed Draco and in this one he spent a decent amount of time playing with Draco's wand. Also, Draco mounted Harry's broom. 'Nuff said. :P

Lucius Malfoy: coward git who does love his son. D'aw.

Cissy, pretending Harry was dead so she could go and find his son, was so, so great. I already liked her for the Unbreakable Vow in the previous book.

Oh! By the way (I mention 'random' at the beginning, didn't I?), did you notice how the Mother's Love is of Supreme Importance in the series? First, Lily and her sacrifice, then Cissy doing everything possible to spare her son to the point of defying and lying to Lord Voldemort to his face, and Molly (fucking awesomely) jumping to attack Bellatrix when the latest nearly kills Ginny.

...hey! Did you see that last paragraph? Three mothers. Three! The magical number! =D

About Bellatrix, yeah, I liked her as a character. She was a good villain who provided tough challenges for our heroes. Villain is a very important key word here. She was a psychopathic bitch who didn't play games, devoted to Voldemort, true to her own mean self. I truly appreciate her part in the story, but let's face it, she's not the best role model there is. I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley. Hell! I wouldn't like to meet her in a wide, crowded street in the middle of the day! o_o;;
Summarizing: she was evil, and evil wasn't going to win in this book series, as it was obvious from the very beginning, though you can go and write all the AU fics you want, people. =3

I think it was good for Molly to finish her off; as I read somewhere, at least she died in the hands of a pure blood. :P Neville was busy playing his part in defeating the Big Bad Guy. You know, he was being all Gryffindor and fighting for The Greater Good to be distracted by personal vendettas. And I don't mean that as a sarcasm. Neville truly shone here, and if there's a book I'd love JKR to write in the Potterverse even though she said (AFAIK) this was the last, is about what I've seen people calling La Hogwarts Résistance.

Snape. What can I say about him that many people haven't said already? Only my personal opinion, I'm afraid. XD So, yeah, his storyline was cheesy and predictable and cliché, but so what? I loved it. It was cute to see chibiSnape having a crush and then falling in love. It doesn't bother me at all that he was loyal to Dumbledore all along because he was in love with Lily all along.
1) He was heartbroken when he promised to be true to the one who didn't kill Lily
2) Love plays a very important part in the series anyway
3) Love seems to last long between the magical people in JKR's world, and I'm not particularly inclined to force neither my rules nor the RL rules into someone's universe when that universe makes internal sense ~~most of the time~~
4) I must be growing toward sappiness. wtf. o.o
I'm grateful for the fact that the reason for Harry's eyes to be the same as Lily's wasn't a Mystical, Mysterious one.
I also believe that I can safely say Snape's worst memory wasn't being upside down showing his underwear to the whole school thanks to James. It was calling Lily a mudblood. Which wasn't shown in the movie, btw.
Add a new nail in the coffin for my liking of the movies, plz.

Nina asked me this:
-How scary was the fact that Rita Skeeter technically wrote something 70% true?
This was my answer:
-It's compensated by the fact that it was written with a tone 100% inflammatory.
Also, was it legal for Skeeter to use veritaserum in old Bathilda? To the very least it had to be highly unethical.

Dumbledore. Even if Harry hated the idea, Dumbledore was once young and as we all do when we're young, he made mistakes due inexperience. This can also be applied to James Potter and the scene of the Snape humiliation.
Harry (and maaaany, many readers) should understand that neither Dumbledore nor James had a Dark Lord after their blood since day one, that (as far as we know) they were raised by loving parents, and thus they could grow up as normally as possible.

Remember that what Harry wants is a normal life? Well, that. Which is also the reason I liked the epilogue (though I agree it lacked information on what happened with a lot of characters).
Harry wanted a normal life; he craved a family more than anything else (Mirror of Erised, anyone?). The epilogue gives us a glimpse of that; he achieved his heart's true desire. That's why the infamous epilogue made me happy, because it was all fluffy and sweet and sugary and BECAUSE AFTER ALL THE HELL HARRY WENT THROUGH, HE DESERVED HIS RIGHTFULLY EARNED NORMALCY, OK?
Good. u.u

Now, the question of the Century: Why did Lily Evans choose James Potter over Severus Snape? Besides the latest hanging around very bad company, that is. Because Lily and Snape were close for years and James was pretty much a jerk most of his Hogwarts time. So then, why?
Could it be that after the Shrieking Shack incident James found himself in the middle of a British, 70s' version of "ZOMGWTF WE NEARLY FUCKING GOT SOMEONE KILLED" realization that kicked sense into him and made him grow up a little? That's good enough for me and I'm sticking to it until I get something better. And by better I don't mean "James gave Lily a love potion" because then Snape would've been thrown in Azkaban for murder. >.>;;

There are a lot of things I'm either missing or skipping, but those are already being said all over the place and this got too long.

As I've told you, I liked the book as a whole. There are just tiiiiiny teeny little thinks that sort of irk me xp but the good definitely wins against the bad, yes.

It could've spent more time in the editing room, I agree. There was some punctuation errors I noticed while I was flying over the pages. If I noticed them in those conditions it means they were big. XD
Also, the Ron-less bit drags a little. Though the action-packed ending makes up for it, IMO.

Harry and Hermione being both dumped by Ron alone for weeks with nothing happening between them, just for the prodigal friend to come back and literally slay HHr made me think JKR is a mean bitch who hates Harmoanians. *wiggles thumbs*

De verdad alguien ha protestado por que Ron volvió? o.o

Y otra cosa: hmmm no se, de verdad hay gente que después del sexto libro pensaba que HH era posible en el canon????

A mi que Ron los dejara solos primero me parecio necesario ya que el trio necesitaba pelear en serio para recuperar totalmente su amistad y curar por parches como en el sexto libro (And Ron needed to talk to Harry about himreally liking Hermione). Y segundo porque da mucho plot bunny para smut, y entre mas smut haya mejor :)

Lo otro ya te lo había comentado por msn :)

Sip, había gente que todavía estaba convencida que H/Hr iba a pasar en el 7mo libro o.o/

Cambiando levemente de tema, leí un comentario que decía que Jo puso ciertas cosas para incordiar a los fans que no leen los libros como ella los escribió, y ponía como ejemplo el comentario de Harry de que Hermione para el era como una Hermana (asi que no hh como yo lo escribi es rh por siempre), o que Sirius tuviera fotos de modelos femenininas en su pieza (entienden, no es gay) o que Remus se casara y tuviera un hijo (no, el tampoco es gay).

La teoría es interesante pero no creo que Rowling llegara a esos niveles, y además bobadas como esas no van a parar a los fans de leer los libros como les de la gana, y para algunos puede que los haga mas interesante (incest kink anyone?).

Que piensas tu?

Yo creo que es normal que Sirius hubiera tenido posters de chavas en bikini porque es normal que los adolescentes tengan posters de chavas en bikini en sus cuartos. Además de que eran muggles, así que mataba varios pájaros de un tiro. (pun intended)

Nah. Digo, a mi me da risa pensar que Rowling hizo esas cosas para injuriar a sus fans, pero no creo que lo hiciera realmente.

Más bien fue pedrada que pegó doble, o así lo vería yo si fuera mi canon.

Pero igual, yo no tengo complejo de persecución ni soy Mulder para buscar teorías conspiracionales en todos los rincones de la intrané

Mientras yo leía lo de Ron yendose, ya veía hordas de Harmonians seguritos de que el HHr iba a pasar. =) Pero la escena en que Ron vuelve fue genial, en plan de "...Par de idiotas XD".

Yo, de momento, me he convencido que la mujer le tiene inquina a Remus, aunque sea subconciente.

Según ONTD, quizás saque una "enciclopedia" diciendo que onda con el resto de los personajes. T_T Sería la primera en la línea.

He visto mencionada la noticia de la enciclopedia en varios medios, aunque JKR dice que la hará después de tomarse un descanso del Potterverse. Igual, ojalá sea cierta. *w*

I loved Xenophilius, and if the fandom is going to start debate on whether he's "good or evil" I'm going to be very annoyed. If there's anything that's been constantly shown through these books, it's that most parents will go to any lenght to protect their children when their lives are threatened -why should he be any different? And I think he represents an interesting dilemma, it's all very well and good to "fight the good fight" and help out those who do until your own life, or worse, the lives of your loved ones, are threatened. It's not cowardism to give up (or change your priorities) when that happens -it's human.

I'd ask how could it be possible for someone to interpret Xeno's intention differently, but this fandom isn't well known for its reading comprehension. All I can hope is that he's not bashed badly. D:
On the other hand, we have solid ground for a good defense.

It's not cowardism to give up (or change your priorities) when that happens -it's human.
Totally agreed.

I so thought I wasn't going to like it, but I loved the book so much I was hyper for the whole weekend plus Monday.

Using icons with spoilers so soon, specially as the default ones, it's of very bad taste if not outright trollish.
Yeah, I'm totally biting my lips when I see really cool ones, since I want to use them but don't want to spoil my flist.

I'm a bad person. I cackled during the Ron vs. Harmony Horcrux part XD And the epic kiss part, too. Weeks of sharing a tent with Harry, the whole graveyard scene, and NADA. (Not even Dobby's grave and being nice with Kreacher did it for her SPEW'd lil' heart.) Meanwhile, Ron is worried about house elves for a couple of seconds, and gets even tongue XDDDD

I also took "The Prince's Tale" better than I should after imagining the reactions of slashers and Astral Plane widows. Good times.

Mothers rocked hard, but I'm not surprised. After all, it's a book written by a mother :D

I liked Xenophilius a lot, and I honestly understand why he did it. Poor guy was desperate and guilty and scared for his girl, enough to betray his beliefs and the people his Luna loved so much. I can forgive him because I'm sure he felt horrible afterwards. Also, I want to find genfic about the Lovegoods now or something.

I like the number 7's significance. For instance, a guy born on the seventh month who had been one of seven Horcruxes, gets to fulfill his destiny on his seventh year after finding out he was a wizard, and later on marries a seventh child. There's probably more references, but I'm le tired.

Also, about number 3, how about this: there are a lot of trios or groups of three persons besides Teh Trio in the series. For instance, three Black sisters. Triwizard champions (even if they were four XP). Three children had Harry Potter. Perhaps, even if it was out of convenience, we could count Draco+Crabbe+Goyle. The group who went to the DoM in book 5 was a multiple of 3, and before the book was out I read the theory that Ginny+Neville+Luna were a mirror Trio (which actually made sense, considering they became the "sort of leaders" of La Resistance later on). Three illegal Animagi at the same time in a same generation.

And besides people? Three wand cores. Twelve (multiple of 3) uses for dragon blood. Of course, three (can't remember the last name, sounded like Petrelli a bit) brothers owning three Deathly Hallows.

I put you in the 'She's going to like it' column. :P As I said, I should've bet.

I cackled during the Ron vs. Harmony Horcrux part
I did it afterwards, because I was too enthralled by the scene and busy cheering Ron to overcome his insecurities to notice it was the 'ship he was destroying. XD Once it was done, I realized and I was rolling on the floor.

Meanwhile, Ron is worried about house elves for a couple of seconds, and gets even tongue
The elves thing was the icing of the cake, IMO. But yeah. XD
Though I still don't think Ron did it on purpose; I'd say it was spontaneous, that he'd forgotten the book about hooking up long before that.

I also took "The Prince's Tale" better than I should after imagining the reactions of slashers and Astral Plane widows.
The widows have a website now about how DH didn't made Snape justice or something (to which I say wtf, but whatever). And the Snarrys could make a case of how they now have more canonly fodder for their ship. XD
Also, the 'The Snape Is A Woobie' camp must be gloating right now. I haven't seen anything, though.

After all, it's a book written by a mother :D
Agreed. And she did great portraying the motherly love. =D

I liked Xenophilius a lot, and I honestly understand why he did it.
Yes. But as

go_back_chief and I comment above, fandom's reading comprehension points to bashing for the poor man. D:

I want to find genfic about the Lovegoods now or something.
*bouncing bunny no jutsu!* >.>;;

I like the number 7's significance.
7 and 3 are very important numbers for the western society. If I had at hand a numerology book I'd go tealdeer on it. :P

And all the 3 references you point out plus the studies on the recurrence of 3 in fairy tales and folklore would make a very long but very interesting analysis. ^^'

RLY?! Coño, no digas eso muy duro, que según las wankers del CLAMP fandom soy una amargada insensible quejica sin corazón XD Probablemente porque no lloré tampoco con el angst de Snape o algo.

I laughed during and afterwards. I guess I just spotted the familiarity of Voldy!H/Hr pretty fast.

I think it was spontaneous, too. When you spend a lot of time with friends, you start sort of thinking like them in some aspects you were previously indifferent to, even if it's just because they matter to them. Still, it's kinda funny that Harry was more thoughtful to elves in this book as well, but that doesn't wet Hermione's panties.

I've seen some gloating, but in a "ooh, I was right, so cool" kind of way. Now, the last thing I saw from the widows was the candle lighting, so I'll pop in FW to check them out >D

People are bashing Xenophilius already? Pffft.

*hits bunnies away with a racket*

Besides society and numerology, the 3 and the 7 are all over fairy tales anyway. But yeah, guess those analysis are better for essays and more elaborated meta.

Have you checked this out? (http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/respectseverus/) It's gold, I tell you! Gold!

Harry was more thoughtful to elves in this book as well, but that doesn't wet Hermione's panties.
Yes, but Hermione sees Harry as a sister. =3

Besides society and numerology, the 3 and the 7 are all over fairy tales anyway.
Yup, yup! They're intertwined, society and fairy tales.
All the fiction of a certain place and era is the reflection of what the people who created it thought and believed. What they thought it was worthy to be singled out, either because was good and should be preserved, or because it was bad and they wanted to change it. (Of course, it isn't mandatory for the one who's writing to know he's preserving or condemning; that can be unconscious. And the best results usually come out when you're not thinking about posterity, IMNSHO.)
The fiction that transcends the generation who created it is the one the following generations think it's worthy to keep reading, to keep talking about, because it gets to their minds and hearts even if they're not living the circumstances in which the texts were written. That's why the classics are universal.
Thus, when we've spend centuries transmitting the fairy tales it's because they get to us. One way or another, they represent us. The fact that they're still around proves that they're the projection of the collective human mind that crafted the western society for centuries.

...I told you this subject makes me go tl;dr. ;_;

) After skimming through my f-list, I can smugly say that I totally should've bet about who was gonna like it and who wasn't gonna and why
Puedo preguntar cual fue tu decision sobre mi? XDD

et's begin with the title. The picking up of old fairy tales in the original versions (and in runes, after the boys mocked Hermione for choosing to take that book with them) was absolutely made of awesome.
Yo puede que SQUEEara un poco y despues me arvengonzara de lo facil que soy XDDD Berddle es mi nuevo interes de LJ y quiero leer el resto de cuentos! No habra por algun lado alguna comunidad que haya sacado el reto de escribir los cuentos del libro?
Kreacher. I never thought I was going to end up liking him as much as I do now.
El afecto por Kreacher jnos a atacado a traicion y por la espalda! Rowling tendra muuuuchos fallos, pero construir personajes carismaticos no es uno de ellos.
About Bellatrix, yeah, I liked her as a character. Si recalcas lo de personaje... es que realmente hay gente que pueda entender que te gusta como persona?! o_O Miedo me das.
Bella es mi segundo personaje favorito y el primero es Sirius, asi que creo que esta claro qu ese puede disfrutar de ella sin estar de acuerdo con ella, no? El fandom es mas raro...

Yo he de reconcer que no me gusto nada la historia de Snape, pero bueno.

Because Lily and Snape were close for years and James was pretty much a jerk most of his Hogwarts time. So then, why? Por la misma razon que al final de Hogwarts Snape se metio en un grupo que se dedicaban a asesinar y torturar a las personas como la mujer que amaba y James lo dejo todo para luchar por ese mismo grupo, con las diferencias de mentalidad que eso implica. Ademas, no creoque Lily mirase nunca a Snape como posible interes romantico.

Y en general el libro me ha gustado y ha sido lo que tenia que ser.

Puedo preguntar cual fue tu decision sobre mi? XDD
No lo ibas a odiar, pero no te ibas a apasionar demasiado en pro o en contra. :P

No habra por algun lado alguna comunidad que haya sacado el reto de escribir los cuentos del libro?
No, pero no suena mal. oO;;

es que realmente hay gente que pueda entender que te gusta como persona?!
Hay gente que cree que si dices que te gusta algo es porque no le encuentras fallas y para ti es lo más perfecto del mundo y modelo a seguir.
Yo como fan del gore lo he experimentado mucho en carne propia. XD
El fandom es mas raro... Eso. XD

Snape se metio en un grupo que se dedicaban a asesinar y torturar a las personas como la mujer que amaba
Una lástima que no se hubiera dado cuenta precisamente de eso en el momento, pero supongo que sus propios traumas infantiles ayudó a que le tuvieran el cerebro bien lavadito.
En fin, de otra manera no hubiera habido historia. :p

Y en general el libro me ha gustado y ha sido lo que tenia que ser.
Sí, lo que tenía que ser, el final de una historia que nos tuvo en ascuas por años. (al menos a mí sí. XD)

No lo ibas a odiar, pero no te ibas a apasionar demasiado en pro o en contra. :P
Realmente me conoces bien XDDD

Y estaria genial una comunidad donde la gente escribiera los cuentos, pero vete y encuentra fandom gen de HP. Mas facil encontrar los Horcruxes mas tres hallows de regalo XD

Si soy capaz de leer a las CLAMp y tragarme lo que me cuenten porque he aceptado que en sus historias los terminos "deseo" "promesa" "culpabilidad" y "persona mas importante" tienen significados diferentes, tal vez algun dia leere las obras de la Rowling y aceptare que todo esta subordinado a contar una historia de aventuras (tengan las cosas mas o menos sentido) Pero de momento aun me cuesta

Lo acabéeeeeeeeee.

LOL. DRACO.

So uh... Me gustó. =DDD

Aunque wtf, Rowling está más biased contra los Slytherins de lo que pensé. XD

Y ya huyo a dormir. x.x

According to my very bad latin, Xenophilus means something pretty much like "friend of what is different/foreign", which describes the character and his line of work perfectly.

Actually, it's not Latin. ^_~ It's Greek:
ξένος (xenos) - Strange
φίλος (filos) - Friend

(In Latin it's: amicus - friend (filius - son), and for "strange" or "foreigner" there are many words, though none of them are anything like "xenos". ;) I suppose Rowling tried to make it sound like English and that's why she chose to write it with an "ph" and the "us"? ^^).

And I agree with what you said about him. Poor guy! D:

Actually, I agree with a lot of things you said. ;) Though I didn't really like the epilogue much. I think it could've been written a little better. She immediately stars dropping names like some kind of bad fic full of OCs. XD Though it was nice. R/H! And ZOMG, the H/D! <3 My OTP lives! 8D

I did mention it was bad, didn't I? :P Oh, well, at least I got the meaning right. XD
Thanks! :3

And ZOMG, the H/D! <3 My OTP lives! 8D
I know. I'm absolutely surprised that one did survive. XD

(and in runes, after the boys mocked Hermione for choosing to take that book with them).
Me había olvidado de eso pero sí. Hermione siempre tiene la razón y Ron ya debería saberlo.
And Ron (and, by deduction, most wizarding-raised children) not knowing about muggles fairy tales...
Me encantó eso también.
Also, the Tale of the Three Brothers kept the structure of a traditional fairy tale, including the ever important number three, so yeah, I'm quite delighted.
A mí no, porque soy la mayor de tres. ODIO los cuentos de hadas por eso. No todos somos malos o estúpidos, ¿OK?

About Xeno's storyline: just. Poor. Guy. DDD:
Supongo que ya lo están basheando. Pero en serio... yo haría lo mismo sin pensarlo.

About Dobby... it was a very moving scene and I liked the way it was handled, with Harry digging by hand, the physicall effort helping him to cope with the pain. D:
Sí y eso que nunca me gustó Dobby. Y están ahí, enterrándolo porque se lo merece.

Draco Malfoy, The Ultimate Plotpoint.
Tengo que admitir que eso no me lo esperaba. Fue tan... WHAM.

While I'm here, let me say JKR was very kind with the slashers.
Y Remus apareció con Sirius y sin Tonks. Pero yo quería que Tonks viviera, Dios. ¿Por qué matarla?

Did you notice how the Mother's Love is of Supreme Importance in the series?
Y Voldie se vuelve malo porque la madre no lo quería lo suficiente como para seguir viviendo.

About Bellatrix, yeah, I liked her as a character.
A mí me terminó por dar lástima, tan consumida por Voldemort y sin conseguir nada a cambio.

If there's a book I'd love JKR to write in the Potterverse even though she said (AFAIK) this was the last, is about what I've seen people calling La Hogwarts Résistance.
Eso faltó, quiero decir... haber leído que pasaba en Hogwarts. Se extrañó un poco el colegio.

I also believe that I can safely say Snape's worst memory wasn't being upside down showing his underwear to the whole school thanks to James. It was calling Lily a mudblood.
Hm, no lo había pensado así pero tenés razón. Era su peor memoria porque lo separó de Lily...

Rita Skeeter es la quintaesencia del periodista, si me preguntás a mí.

Dumbledore. Even if Harry hated the idea, Dumbledore was once young and as we all do when we're young, he made mistakes due inexperience. This can also be applied to James Potter and the scene of the Snape humiliation.
Es que creo que a mucha gente no le gusta pensar que sus padres y abuelos son gente. XP

Y el epílogo... no sé, los nombres me cayeron mal pero sí, es el premio. Era obvio que solamente quería ser normal y casarse y tener hijos...

Now, the question of the Century: Why did Lily Evans choose James Potter over Severus Snape?
Como dijeron Remus y Sirius, James creció y creo que, después de perder a su mejor amigo, Lily probablemente se acercó más a esos cuatro idiotas.

Re: los cuentos de hadas.
Yo también soy la mayor en mi casa y a mí nunca me molestó la estructura de los cuentos. XD Luego leí algo de psicobabble al respecto de eso y el número 3 y me molestó aún menos. :p

Did you notice how the Mother's Love is of Supreme Importance in the series?
Y Voldie se vuelve malo porque la madre no lo quería lo suficiente como para seguir viviendo.
Eso también. Es el rasgo definitorio, ¿no? De Volde contra el resto del mundo.

Como dijeron Remus y Sirius, James creció y creo que, después de perder a su mejor amigo, Lily probablemente se acercó más a esos cuatro idiotas.
El problema es que si creces creyendo que alguien es un bruto, va a ser necesario un acto muy radical para que dejes de pensar eso. o.o/ En especial porque pasó relativamente poco desde ese incidente a la boda. Para mí el problema está en la cuestión temporal.
Yo sí creo que James cambió mucho, pero tuvo que haber sido algo fuerte.
Hablando con un amigo que no está en en fandom, nos quedamos más o menos con la conclusión de que tuvo que haber sido Volde acabando con el resto de los Potters o algo así de dramático para que madurara tanto.

Eso también. Es el rasgo definitorio, ¿no? De Volde contra el resto del mundo.
Y por eso, Voldie, hacer terapia ayuda. XP

El problema es que si creces creyendo que alguien es un bruto, va a ser necesario un acto muy radical para que dejes de pensar eso.
Yo no creo que pensara que era tan idiota. Probablemente algo le gustara, pero sí debe haberle pasado algo grave.

Yo no creo que pensara que era tan idiota.
Al final va a ser cosa de interpretación personal. Porque no considero que tengamos suficiente información objetiva sobre los años críticos de James. Por lo menos no hasta que JKR saque su enciclopedia. Espero. XD

Repecto a la "otra" mascota...
Ya que después de todo Harry se casa. ¿No se referirá al pigmypuff de Ginny? XDDDDDDD

En cuanto al James y Lily es un laaargo tema,, en el que sin duda tuvo mucho que ver el que James madurara.. cuando menos un poco y que Snape no. (Además de que ser un poco menos malo, vamos Lily lo vio ya desde antes que no era ninun angelito pusto que agredio a su hermana, en fin, fué la acumulación de una larga cadenita de "detales", hasta que a Lily se e terminron los argumenos en su favor, como ella misma dice). Snape se avo su propia fosa en su relación con Lily si bien se nos muestra en la carta que James siguió tamiben con algun lado irresponsable (Como extrañando la capa invisible ya que sin ella se le acabaron los paseítos fuera, incluso en medio de la persecusión del Que no debe ser nombrado). XDDDD Esa cart de Lily me encantó.
