Rawr Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I love that too, how it comes to that moment and you just know that he's Gryffindor material, it's really awesome to finally realise that and it just made me really happy xD cause Neville is as much a hero as anyone else in the story.

Chrissy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think he was actually more a hero than the others in many ways. His parents were destroyed - but not killed, he was bullied mercilessly by Snape, his grandmother belittled him and he was never quite 'one of the gang', and he didn't have the handholding support of Dumbledore that Harry had. Yet he was an unassuming, hardworking, incredibly loyal young man. He wasn't bitter or moody, he just quietly got on with the task in hand, even facing certain death to deal with Nagini. Yep, that boy is a a real fave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy619 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I agree with all of your posts - he really comes in to his own towards the end. He was always in everyone's shadow before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that boy is a a real fave! Very good points and i agree. To be honest, i actually sympathised more with him than Harry as i learned more about his past and he came more and more shaped in my mind. He's a brilliant character.

missmellow Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I still have many many books to read, but the 7th Harry Potter book is definitely my all time favourite at the moment. I'm reading it only for the second time now after 2 years, and wow, have I missed it. I'm still amazed at how J.K. Rowling came up with such an epic plot. Ahhhh.

I'm reading it only for the second time now after 2 years, and wow, have I missed it. I'm still amazed at how J.K. Rowling came up with such an epic plot. Ahhhh. I've just re read it too! I found I picked up little things that I hadn't on the first read, little nuances that weren't essential to the plot but gave a more 'flavoured' reading! Enjoy your read - you know the story now, so you can concentrate on all the in betweeny bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmellow Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Oh yes yes, I love rereading books to notice the smallest things! Like in the first one when Snape paused to look into Harry's eyes for the first time.... I almost started crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Oh no, that's one thing I never noticed I always told anyone who would listen that he was a good guy and in love with Lily, of course my friends said I was being stupid, but I got the last laugh With CoS being played on ITV1 2 weeks ago I have a huge temptation to re-read the books again. I think little things like that I will look out for. The last time I re-read it I was looking out for Dumbledore things after the news Jo gave us Edited April 8, 2009 by Nightwish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ah yes, I thought that was a bit weird, I've always felt Dumbledore was more asexual rather than straight or as now is the case gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmellow Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I just never thought of Dumbledore to be attracted to anyone. I always thought he liked to keep to himself and was a bit of a loner... but gay? Wow, didn't expect that! xD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmellow Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh, and... Oh no, that's one thing I never noticed I always told anyone who would listen that he was a good guy and in love with Lily, of course my friends said I was being stupid, but I got the last laugh I never understood how so many people guessed right with Snape! I was shocked. WOW YOU PEOPLE ARE SMART. I suppose I've never really been good at predicting with books. I think that's a good thing, though.

Nightwish Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 It was ever since OotP came out that I realised, I thought there was more to it, especially as Lily was defending him . I always imagined Dumbledore to be a ladies man and that McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey had a thing for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitra Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh, and... I never understood how so many people guessed right with Snape! I was shocked. WOW YOU PEOPLE ARE SMART. I suppose I've never really been good at predicting with books. I think that's a good thing, though. Me and my brother were shocked too, definately hadn't thought about it...but it was really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I never really thought about it either. I was always greatly drawn and slightly sympathetic to Snape, most definitely an interesting, amazing and deep character but what happened was a surprise most definitely. Brilliantly developed.

MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, I don't get how people predicted the Snape thing either. You people ARE smart. But yeah, it was pretty sad. I mean, All those years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I've been reading through numbers 3 - 6 again recently, and there's quite a few moments that i find hilarious. Anyone who remember the name ROONIL WAZLIB? That part where Harry tells Snape it's his nickname makes me LOL everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 LOL I remember there was something about Fred and George's Spelling Quills or something that malfunctioned. And Harry said that that was what his friends call him I can't really remember any other funny parts though... My memory's real bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 And Harry said that that was what his friends call him This is what makes it so freaking funny, you can just imagine Snape's face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 LOL exactly. And there was this part in the sixth one, where I couldn't stop laughing. That part where Kreacher just comes in and hits Mundungus in the head with a pot or something. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find Wood's pre-match pep talks hilarious, he's so desperate to win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yup, and the way she writes it is even more hilarious. I can't remember though, as per usual. And of course, Fred and George's moments were just CLASSIC. I'm sure I could remember a few moments... *thinks very hard* ...I got nothing..

Nightwish Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Now you mention it I can just imagine Snape's face! Priceless!! Once I've finished reading the book for my book group I'm going to re-read the Harry Potter books, and I will look out for plenty of stuff. I love the comedy that the Weasleys bring A quote I found pretty halirious from a Potter forum: Harry finds out there is a new Dark Lord - "But I just got rid of the first one! Someone else has got to do it this time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 The Weasleys are great They are all so diverse from one another too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
