What would the wizarding world of been like if Arthur had bee in charge?

What do you make of Lupin just sitting there ?

Draco really doesn’t take that many away. He could of taken 50 or something each. Strange.

This is what I don’t get about the career advice coming so late because of some of the required courses. Can they take them other years? What if Harry had wanted to be a healer or something?

Thoughts on Fred and George’s exit? Would you of risk something lie that?

[demented2468]

WHat career would you want?

[aredhela]

Definitely the Auror career. I'd be the clumsiest auror since Tonks, though.

[demented2468]

Does sound like fun but a lot of danger, too.

[aredhela]

I know, but really, that's how I am. I'd love to be in the middle of the battle, fight and stuff. And being great in the Defence Against the Dark Arts sounds amazing. Dark Magic is so powerful and the thought that you can somehow defeat it would make me feel ~a bit~ proud of myself.

I thought it was sad that Harry momentarily thought that perhaps James forced Lily into marriage. What a sad image to have of your parents, their relationship, and ultimately yourself since you came from that union :/

[demented2468]

His whole view of his mum and dad was sort of tossed on its head

[aredhela]

He's just 15 and he never knew his parents. He's so lost. Poor bb, crazy thoughts come to mind.

And since he didn't know them he idealized them instead of seeing them as human.

Harry simply could not understand how they could have ended up married. (page 653)
Me neither, Harry. Me neither. THE LAST CHAPTER MADE ME START DISLIKING JAMES AGAIN. JUST SO YA KNOW.

Then consider a position with Gringotts Wizarding Bank, who are currently recruiting Curse- Breakers for thrilling opportunities abroad (page 657)
I wonder if this means that there are cursebreakers in other places then Egypt? I would think Egypt would be the most popular, of course, but I could see it maybe in the Caribbean for people who are looking for pirate treasure and the like. And I don't think banking is that interesting either, Hermione, but cursebreaking? omg awesome.

What, this thing?” said Professor McGonagall in a tone of revulsion, as she pulled a sheet of pink parchment from between the leaves of Harry’s folder. (page 664)
Oh god, this entire scene. I am dying.

Harry simply could not understand how they could have ended up married. Haha I read this and was like, Harry how naive can you get? I thought it was fairly obvious that Lily was madly attracted to James, but was conflicted because of how he was acting, and once he changed they fell in love, and created Harry. Lupin and Sirius had to spell it out for him though. I wonder if he ever figured out what L.E. stood for...

[rosalius_belle]

Well, Harry was surprised that Godric Gryffindor lived in Godric's Hallow so...

[julvett]

AND he didn't think to use Sirius' mirror... Harry had so many braindead moments in this series...

“He has achieved high marks in all Defense Against the Dark Arts tests set by
a competent teacher.” (page 664)
Oh God, McGonagall I love you with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

“Potter,” she said in ringing tones, “I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly I will make sure you achieve the required results!”
“The Minister of Magic will never employ Harry Potter!” said Umbridge, her voice rising furiously.
“There may well be a new Minister of Magic by the time Potter is ready to join!” shouted Professor McGonagall. (page 665)

But did he want to be like his father anymore? (page 667)
YES YOU DO HARRY. I'M BACK TO LOVING JAMES. HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND HE DIED FOR YOU. omgwhyamisobipolaroverjames?
