I Reread the books recently and greatly enjoyed it other than I noticed the amount of animal cruelty was at extreme levels.

Harry Potter was probably near the top of his class. He wasn't intellectual which is why he sucked at potions but he got Owls in everything else if I remember and he was far and away the most experienced wizard to ever graduate hogwadts when it comes to practical application.

People don't want to follow someone who comes across as perfect like a hermoine. People can't relate to that. Harry Potter had struggled and wasn't brilliant and yet he overcame something to be one of the greatest wizards ever. A much better story.

A lot of people think Harry is an average wizard at best. Just look at Harry Potter forums. I used to think the same until this latest re-read. The recent Harry Potter threads prompted me to write this.

Has anyone ever realized that the reason Dumbledore dies is all because of Harry?Had Harry not been a little bitch in year one, he goes Slytherin and then becomes friends with Draco Malfoy who isn't going to kill the headmaster that Harry is tight with. That's all it would have taken. The only other Death Eaters who had kids at Hogwarts, if my memory is correct, is Crabbe and Goyle who also would have been Harry's bros.

It's all Harry's fault for thinking about himself and not about what the consequences of going Gryffindor had.

Malfoy=GOAT.

According to JKR he actually never went back to finish his last year at Hogwarts. Neither did Ron. Hermione was the only one who took the time to graduate.
