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 2112 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 1915 Views

That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 2062 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1711 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 1088 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1840 Views
