Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic Soul Of The Crone Location

In which the entire series is proven to be impossible, the Duo goes out of their way to fall into a trap, Rowling abuses ellipses and colons, a powerful, muscular mass slides over Harry as he smashes to the floor, and zombies RULE.Chapter Seventeen – Bathilda's SecretHarry and Hermione have just visited the Incredibly Dramatic and Previously Unmentioned Grave of the Potter Parentals in a small churchyard in Godric's Hollow. They're just on their way out of the cemetery when Hermione spots someone watching them.They stood quite still, holding on to each other, gazing at the dense black boundary of the graveyard.I can't find any description in the previous chapter of a fence or of hedges around the graveyard.

I keep picturing someone having drawn a line around the cemetery with a big black Sharpie.The two squabble about whether Hermione saw anything—she says she did, Harry isn't so sure. Harry also insists that they 'look like Muggles'-whatever Muggles look like-so what difference does it make if anyone saw them? It doesn't seem to occur to him that if they've just run into a Death Eater or two, being taken for a Muggle wouldn't be an advantage.

Hermione objects too, but for a different reason:'Muggles who've just been laying flowers on your parents' grave!If someone was looking at you from a distance, they might be able to tell which graves you were near, but I really don't think they could tell precisely which grave you were laying flowers on. Non-magical people wouldn't care, and can you picture a Death Eater doing something so sensible as using high-powered binoculars? Far too Muggle for them.Harry thought of A History of Magic; the graveyard was supposed to be haunted: what if -?Well, what if it is, Harry? You lived at a haunted school for six years.

One of your teachers was a ghost. You even went to a Deathday party.

Ghosts shouldn't bother you.Hermione points to a bush and Harry hears a rustling noise and sees some snow fall off of the shrubbery. My reaction: What of it? I've lived in New England all my life. I've seen snow fall off of bushes thanks to the slightest breeze. This doesn't prove whether anyone's there or not.Harry, however, decides that ghosts can't move snow. Apparently he's forgotten all about Peeves the Poltergeist, who's certainly a spirit if not a ghost, and who can lift and move any number of things.Based on this flawed information, he informs Hermione that it was a cat or a bird, and that it can't have been a Death Eater or they'd be dead already. Right away, I knew that the Narrative Laws of Comedy would mandate that Harry be deeply and profoundly wrong.So they exit the graveyard.

Once they are on the sidewalk—in full view of a full pub and a church holding Christmas services—they put the Invisibility Cloak back. Harry, selfish beast that he is, considers taking refuge in the church. When someone who is very probably lethal is following you, the loving and compassionate thing to do is to give the potential killer a variety of targets.(It might be, under the right circumstances, the practical thing to do. But no one has ever suggested that practicality is the Power That The Dark Lord Knows Not.)However, before Harry can suggest using the church as sanctuary, Hermione starts leading him out of the village into open country.

As she's asking him how they're going to find Bathilda's cottage, Harry spots the ruins of his parents' house.He could see it; the Fidelius Charm must have died with James and Lily.How come he's referring to his parents by their first names?The cottage is a ruin, all overgrown with ivy and missing the right side of the top floor. Harry thinks that might have been where Voldemort's curse went haywire. No shit, Sherlock.

Also, we have two consecutive sentences that are fine separately but that don't make any sense together:The hedge had grown wild in the sixteen years since Hagrid had taken Harry from the rubble that lay scattered amongst the waist-high grass.Most of the cottage was still standing, though entirely covered in the dark ivy and snowRowling earlier described the snow in the cemetery as deep enough for the kids to leave trenches behind them as they walked. I'd say at least knee-high snow, then. So is the Potters' cottage surrounded by knee-high snow, as it should be if the cottage is covered with snow, or is it surrounded by waist-high grass out of season?Honestly, JKR. Do try to keep continuity from at least one sentence to the next, at least.Hermione wonders why it's still a ruin. Evidently she hasn't heard about people letting houses go to ruin for tax purposes.

Harry suggests that maybe it can't be fixed:'Maybe it's like the injuries from Dark Magic and you can't repair the damage?' Now I want to see a wizarding Healer who mends residences. And lo, his name shall be.However, when Harry touches the gate, a previously invisible sign appears, which explains why the house in the state it's in.On this spot, on this night of 31 October 1981,Lily and James Potter lost their lives.Their son, Harry, remains the only wizard everto have survived the Killing Curse.This house, invisible to Muggles, has been leftin its ruined state as a monument to the Pottersand as a reminder of the violencethat tore apart their family.It wasn't violence that tore apart their family. Betrayal and war. And it destroyed their family.

Use the right words, will you?And it would also be nice if the sign mentioned who killed them. Yes, everyone nowadays in the wizarding world knows that Voldemort did it, but if you're going to preserve a spot for posterity, you have to plan for a time when everyone doesn't remember what you're memorializing.As far as Harry's concerned, this is all about him:And all around these neatly lettered words, scribbles had been added by other witches and wizards who had come to see the place where the Boy Who Lived had escaped.Now this graffiti indicates that something is deeply and profoundly wrong. Let me reconstruct the situation as best I can.Okay. Peter was the Secret Keeper, and he told Voldemort where the Potters were hiding. Voldemort then became a co-Secret Keeper, according to HBP and DH. Voldemort then went to Godric's Hollow and killed the Potters and got killed himself.Voldemort couldn't confide the information in anyone because of:'The only people who ever knew their precise location were those whom Wormtail had told directly, but none of them would have been able to pass on the information.'

The only person that we know Peter told in canon is Voldemort. And Voldemort could not pass the information on. We found this out in OotP.

The Order members knew perfectly well that the headquarters was at Twelve Grimmauld Place. But they couldn't tell Harry. They could give Harry a note with the address written on it—but the note was written by Dumbledore, the Secret Keeper, who told one of the members to give Harry this note. None of them could personally write a note telling Harry where the house was. And it gets worse.Now-according to on February 21, 2006 and the:'When a Secret-Keeper dies, their secret dies with them, or to put it another way, the status of their secret will remain as it was at the moment of their death.

Everybody in whom they confided will continue to know the hidden information, but nobody else.' Well, Voldemort was a Secret Keeper; Peter telling him the secret made him so. And only he and Peter knew where the Potters were when he died.So the cottage should be completely invisible to everyone in the wizarding world except for Peter Pettigrew. There should not be a plaque in front of the cottage, or graffiti on that plaque. Hell, no one should have found the wounded Baby Harry lying in the wreckage of the cottage.The whole saga, according to JKR herself, is absolutely impossible.The only logical conclusion is that all seven books are a hallucination on Baby Harry's part as he lies wailing in the rubble, dying of exposure and brain injury. (Rather like St. Elsewhere, where the entire hospital drama series was revealed to be, in the series finale, a fantasy in the mind of an autistic child.)Meanwhile, back in the hallucination of the invisible cottage, Hermione is annoyed that anyone wrote on the sign.

Harry's delighted. Except, of course, in this book evil is dumb, too.But no one has ever suggested that practicality is the Power That The Dark Lord Knows Not.He's a wizard. I would say that practicality is close enough to sensibility to suggest he knows it not.But how did Nagini make her body walk and light matches and open doors with keys?Beats the hell out of me. How would a snake even know how to operate arms and legs?

They don't have them. Now I have the image of 'Bathilda' writhing on the ground like a snake while Voldie shakes his head in disappointment.And she really shouldn't have elaborated on the Potters 'sacrifice' If they weren't stupid beyond all words, Harry wouldn't have been orphaned.headdesk.Good thing Voldiekins is just as stupid, eh. He's a wizard.

I would say that practicality is close enough to sensibility to suggest he knows it not.You're right. Voldie's forces are more efficient than those of the supposed good guys in this book, but it's really too little too late.And she really shouldn't have elaborated on the Potters 'sacrifice.' If they weren't stupid beyond all words, Harry wouldn't have been orphaned.

I really did picture that being a lot more 'heroic struggle against insurmountable odds' on James's part and 'tricking Voldemort into violating the terms of a magical contract and thus destroying himself' on Lily's.Rowling seems to have an absolute aversion to heroes taking action. It's as if she's constantly yelling at her favorite characters, 'Don't just do something-stand there!' .

Political satirist Mark Russell's description of America's overwhelmingly positive reaction to George Bush, Sr.' S do-nothingness in his first hundred days in office. I really did picture that being a lot more 'heroic struggle against insurmountable odds' on James's part and 'tricking Voldemort into violating the terms of a magical contract and thus destroying himself' on Lily's.Ditto. Back in the book #1, and after we get the whole history in book #3, I thought it was probably the most dramatic, intense and heroic thing ever. Then I found out that James was an idiot, Lily didn’t do nothing much, and even the Marauder’s dynamic was ruined when Rowling messed up the way Fidelius worked. Instead of war heroes, we have the biggest bunch of idiots EVER.What upsets me the most here is how the sacrifice was stupid.

James is probably still wondering what hit him, and as for Lily, hell, there was a lot of thing she could have done, but she just stood there and begged. And to think that when I say Quasimodo’s mother in the Disney movie was more heroic than her, people think I’m joking(but things will get a lot worse before getting better. If I remember correctly, Fleur’s husband is his own secret keeper. If that’s right, than James’ not only dumb, he’s the most stupid person to ever walk the Earth.). I really did picture that being a lot more 'heroic struggle against insurmountable odds' on James's part and 'tricking Voldemort into violating the terms of a magical contract and thus destroying himself' on Lily's.I wonder if Rowling realized what she was doing when she wrote this passage. It didn't bug me, because I'd already decided that Snape was probably telling the truth about James being overrated and I imagine she was going for poignancy, as with Cedric's death.

(Death isn't heroic, murder is simply bad, useless, and sad.)But oh! The outcry there has been about James not picking up his wand! Killer is dead walkthrough. I think it's because people had really built up James and Lily into these heroic figures. And there's no reason they shouldn't, I suppose. The only one to contradict the myth of James and Lily being the best, most heroic, most destined-for-each-other people ever was Snape. And who wanted to believe the greasy child-abuser?I actually like the idea that James and Lily were pretty ordinary people.

You shouldn't have to be speshul to invoke powerful magic. However, unless it is Snape's request (and Voldemort's violation of it) that invokes the blood protection, the message does seem to be that Lily's sacrifice is worth more than anyone else's just because she's Lily. It's possible, in another startling burst of continuity, that Harry doesn't ask for a new wand because Ollivander doesn't have any of his supplies on hand. And going after them would certainly attract attention.Also, the impossibility of visiting the house could also be a theory one of my on-campus friends came up with: The entire thing is in Harry's head, on closer lines to the St. Elsewhere scenario.

Her proposed epilogue was James and Lily checking up on psych-ward!Harry: 'How is he?' 'Oh, about the same as usual, still on about this Voldemort fellow. It got really weird for a few hours - something about some woods?

But he's back to normal.' 'I'm a wizard! I'm a wizard! I'm the Chosen One!' Also, re: Secret Keepers - JKR's setup is just Dumb.

It'd make far more sense if the secret was. You know, NO LONGER SECRET after the secret keeper died. Which still wouldn't excuse the Potters' house, what with Peter still alive, but seriously. (Unless it's a headology thing, and everyone thought Peter was dead and therefore the secret dissipated. Don't mind me, it's Late.)Note to JKR: You can't do 'too many secrets' without a Scrabble board.

You're not fooling anyone!Edited at 2008-01-25 06:53 (UTC). It's possible, in another startling burst of continuity, that Harry doesn't ask for a new wand because Ollivander doesn't have any of his supplies on hand. And going after them would certainly attract attention.I would go with that, except in Chapter 26, it says this:Mr. Ollivander had sent Luna a new wand that morning.

She was out on the back lawn at that moment, testing its capabilities in the late afternoon sun. Dean, who had lost his wand to the Snatchers, was watching rather gloomily.So it sounds like Ollivander is willing to make new wands, but Harry, and possibly Dean, just never think of asking.Dumb dumb DUMB.The entire thing is in Harry's head, on closer lines to the St. Elsewhere scenario. Her proposed epilogue was James and Lily checking up on psych-ward!Harry: 'How is he?' 'Oh, about the same as usual, still on about this Voldemort fellow.

It got really weird for a few hours - something about some woods? Antichamber map. But he's back to normal.' 'I'm a wizard! I'm a wizard! I'm the Chosen One!'

Oh, I love that. That would make so much SENSE. And all the illogic and plotholes would just be the products of a diseased mind that knew no better.Also, re: Secret Keepers - JKR's setup is just Dumb. It'd make far more sense if the secret was.

You know, NO LONGER SECRET after the secret keeper died.Yes! That would make perfect sense. And even the problem with Peter isn't that much of a problem. Just witness his tragic yet redemptive death before going to Godric's Hollow. Then the Secret Keeper is dead, and Harry and Hermione can see the house without any problems.But that would be logical, and we can't have that.Note to JKR: You can't do 'too many secrets' without a Scrabble board.

You're not fooling anyone!She really, really isn't. No, you're not. You're right on all counts.After a bit of digging, I found that around the 17th of December, 1997,.

That makes sense of the snow in the West Country-though I would have thought the Duo would have noticed the snowstorm. Ah, well.why would Hermione be able to heal Harry's pucnture marks when the Healers at St Mungo's couldn't mend Mr Weasley's because of some property of the snake's venom?.laughs. I forgot about that! And I bet Rowling did too! That, or she wanted to show how extra-special-wonderful Suemione was.And I love the image of Voldemort as Jack Skellington. That made my day.

De lurking.I'm really enjoying this so far - much more than the book, which I gave up half-way through.But! Re Halloween in the UK: We've always done Halloween and dressing up on 31st October over here; it's literally just the 'trick or treat' part that we've imported recently from across the pond. When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s (and when my parents were young in the 40s and 50s), Halloween involved making a costume and going out 'guising', which involved going around the neighbours' houses and singing songs or telling jokes in exchange for sweets, monkey nuts, or the opportunity to bob for apples.So it would be perfctly feasible for a couple of kids to be out dressed as pumpkins on Halloween./delurk. Harry's delighted. I guess he likes seeing his name written over and over.Perhaps he's got a crush on himself.Harry spots a chest of drawers in the sitting room. Why it's not in the bedroom, I don't know,There's a chest of drawers in the sitting room (or living room as we call it) in our house, because it doesn't fit anywhere else.

It used to be in one of the bedrooms but has since been replaced by other furniture.Rita could make copies of the photos if she couldn't get hold of the negatives.Geminio comes to mind.A ruby is generally sparkly and crystalline and laundry is.kind of not.Bathilda must have borrowed a gown from Jessica Rabbit.But how did Nagini make her body walk and light matches and open doors with keys?And how does Nagini actually get sight information? And through the cloak at first? Not that there aren't already inconsistencies about that, but. Maybe Nagini's actually smelling Harry all this time?Then a heavy smooth mass smashed him to the floor and he felt it slide over him, powerful, muscular-.I think I read some porn like this once.That's kinda hot.But in this book, suddenly, Voldemort can fly! And Snape can fly! And we're just supposed to forget that they shouldn't be able to do this.I'm willing to swallow that Voldy is, finally, the first wizard ever who managed to work it out, but I cannot believe that he would want to share this secret with Snape.why not just order her to kill him, or eat him. It shouldn't matter who kills Harry.

Once he's dead, he's no longer in Voldemort's way.That would make too much sense. Voldemort has to do it himself. (or IITP(rophecy), I guess.)He heads toward the Potter's cottage and flies over the hedge, again without benefit of broomstick.Hang on, he was able to fly in 1981?

And hadn't shared it with anyone up until then, nor even demonstrated that he could (much less taught how) at any point between 1995 and now? Well then it makes even less sense for him to suddenly decide to instruct Snape in the fine art of face-palming continuity-breaking.Still begs the question of why they don't just Apparate in, though. I mean, why go through all that silly business about passwords to get in and spells to knock down doors if you don't have to?Maybe the Potters had anti-Apparition wards to prevent just that, given their situation? Or would that be too sensible?c) You don't need a wand to Apparate.Don't you? I haven't kept score.

Anyway, I suppose 'anti-Apparition wards' would explain why Lily did that, too. But then, if they are there, who put them up? Dumbles, so only he could take them down? That seems a little silly, because it could get you into just this kind of trap.There was also a lot of discussion in fandom about whether Lily was holding Harry or not when Voldie came in.If she's holding Harry, why would Voldemort have told her to 'stand aside'?

That only makes sense if she's standing in front of him already. Does put him down, then? Turning her back to Voldemort in the process?He finally realized that the bald, white-faced, red-eyed, noseless monster isn't the black-haired, hazel-eyed, bespectacled James.Perhaps Voldemort only looks like that after his re-bodying?

Voldemort was only starting to change looks when we saw him asking Dumbles for a job in HBP, for instance (don't start me on dates. Shouldn't that be the late 1940s, early 1950s at most?

Dumbles wasn't headmaster then).For some odd reason, the snake left 'half-healed puncture marks.' I'm attributing the half-healing to HermioneUnless she has the special treatment they administered to Arthur Weasley, they shouldn't be any-healed.

Nagini's venom keeps wounds from closing. Hermione should be barely managing for him not to bleed to death.It's never been said that Ollivander makes the only wands in England, just the best wands.And neither of these two had any successors or underlings.? 'This is the equivalent of a pretty blonde girl in high heels and with no cellphone walking alone into a crumbling mansion with a dark and bloody past, ignoring the blood all over the floor and the heavy footsteps of the axe-murderer behind her.' Harry is a retard.In almost any other book (written by someone who don't bend all the rules,of that world, three ways 'til Sunday, just to help the 'hero') he would be dead in the blink of an eye.'

And can anyone figure out how Nagini made Bathilda's body work? I mean, I can see a snake occupying a dead body. It's disgusting, but I can picture it.

But how did Nagini make her body walk and light matches and open doors with keys?' Not to mention, in first chapter is made clear that Nagini is HUGE snake.

And Bathilda is very small woman. So, even if Nagini use (by magic.barf.) Bathilda as a sock puppet there is still a problem of space.And whole Potter family should be extinct, they are too stupid to live.

Hell, no one should have found the wounded Baby Harry lying in the wreckage of the cottage.I finally figure it out. Everything will depend if Hagrid was or not in the first Order of the Phoenix.Think with me here, everyone who knew the place would keep on, uh, knowing, right? So the people who could save baby Harry were his parents (dead), Peter (not interested), Voldemort (dead, kind of), Sirius (busy being framed for murder), Remus (where was he anyway? Do we know that?) and Dumbledore. If we assume that the rest of the order knew where they were, they could find him too and, let’s face, they probably knew about it. They would be stupid like that. Then we can presume there was also Hagrid, Minerva, maybe the Longbottons and a lot of other people in the list.Now, if they actually did the right thing and hid without telling the whole world where they were – which would be the point of hiding, you know – then all I have to say is lolz, because the only one available to save baby Harry would be Dumbledore.

Or Remus.Now if we take into consideration that the Fidelius’ rules change every other day, I’ll have to re-think the whole thing. The night wet and windy, two children dressed as pumpkins waddling across the square and the shop windows covered in paper spiders, all the tawdry Muggle trappings of a world in which they did not believe. Glaring anachronism aside who is this 'they' that does not believe in spiders?Even going with the full book sentence this makes absolutely no sense.

I think JKR means that Voldmort & Co. Don't believe in Halloween but even that is odd sounding 'cause I was sure that Hogwarts celebrated Halloween and had been doing so for some time.
