PoA Re-Read: Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen

[author_by_night]

Last time: Harry heard his Dad's voice, his last words to be precise, and told a very disturbed Remus, who told him they'd been friends at Hogwarts. Meanwhile, the trio was on the verge of being a trio again, but then Ron found blood where Scabbers had been, along with long ginger cat hairs.

The PoAmovie was actually surprisingly accurate in some respects - some dialogue was quoted verbatim, for example.
(Yes, I can admit, ten years after the fact, that it honestly wasn't such a bad movie. In fact, I kinda read most of the dialogue you quoted as ThewlisRemus... x_x)

Lol @ Snape's grudge. Yeah, that theory was only acceptable in fanfics, it was surely way too fluffy to be canon. Oh Jo...

It's too old, too poor, too dangerous.
This made me laugh way too hard.

because he can't make him take Sirius seriously
Excuse you, I think you meant Siriusly. :p

I like to think that afterwards Remus sat down with a cup of tea and some chocolate and spend the rest of the evening playing with the Map. It's what I would have done.
(In reality he probably spend his evening rending his clothes and flogging himself with the Map, or something.)

Yeah, I want to watch the movie again when I'm done recapping and see, but no, I don't think it really was that bad. I do think there were flaws, especially with the pacing, but it wasn't going to be what we wanted, which was MWPP: The Movie. ;)

Probably... sigh.

I wondered that myself, with how Snape knew their nicknames...

I felt SO sorry for Neville! At that age I was constantly forgetting my locker combination. I think I had to have four locks cut off by maintenance in one year? Which made my mother mad at me, teachers mad at me, the maintenance guy was laughing his butt off, which when I was 13 wasn't preferable. I just want to hug poor little Neville. I NEVER would have sent him a howler

I felt bad for him too. And you're absolutely right, Harry was kind of blowing him off - Harry's kind of got skewed priorities altogether in this book.

I never thought Snape was really in love with Lily, it seemed too contrived to me... but I actually like how JKR did it better than fandom did, so there you have it. She made it make sense. Well - sort of. I think Harry naming one of his kids partly after Snape was pushing it.
