she reminds me a bit of snape Deadsy Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 01:01:35 PM
they both deserved awards for grudge-holding.

but this is the first time i've actually really thought about petunia, and i think i feel more sorry for her than snape. that doesn't excuse how crappy she was, but...

first she was super jealous because she didn't get to go to hogwarts. if you think about it, that would be terrible. think about what it would be like if you found out your sibling got to go to disney world and you just had to stay home. and not just a week at disney world. the next 8 years :P. and then when she comes home over the summer she gets all the attention from your parents. and this is what petunia went through every single year until lily turned 17, and then lily moved away from home to live with another of "her kind" and that was the last she saw of her.

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 1852 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 1675 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1780 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1814 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1726 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1485 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 979 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1598 Views
I think this book isn't as deep or as thoughtful as the first. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 11:36:17 PM 1638 Views
I feel the same way. aria - 24/07/2010 01:04:39 AM 1505 Views
