It is a plot device Camilla Send a noteboard - 23/07/2010 10:11:45 PM
the only reason it is there is to keep Harry from the feast where everyone else is, making it possible (and plausible) for him to be first on the spot. Also, it gives some colour (hehe) of the ghost population.

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 1970 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1757 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1756 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1869 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1910 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1841 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1566 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 1014 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1672 Views
