Well, if you ain’t whinin you ain’t breathing. Like I said, i have the same opinion about video games for kids. There, now you have another whine to go with your cheese.

And after Snape died, there wouldn't have been time for a new one to show up.
But at the end of HBP, wasn't there already a portrait of Dumbledore on the wall when Harry went up to the Headmaster's office just after Dumbledore died?

I loved it when Hermy packed the portrait of Phineas Nigellus. That helped in ways she couldn’t have imagined.

I don't have the book here but I recall the scene where Dumbledore says "You disgust me." IIRC, Dumbledore says something like, "it didn't matter to you that two people were going to die as long as the girl you loved lived." Snape then hesitates and says, "Okay, save them all."
He didn't care that Harry and James were going to be killed - his only worry was for Lily.

Not really, I have perused the text (two copies in my house) Well, at least with two copies in your house, you're not damaging Jo Rowling's Aston Martin Vantage fund.
To: Neoliberalnot
Well, if you aint whinin you aint breathing.
Well some of us read and play games for fun and others of us whine. To each their own. I guess.

Sadly for all the miserable nay-sayers, SOMETHING will come along now that the precedence has been set.

the scene that made me laugh out loud was when Molly Weasley attacked Bellatrix. It was a hoot.

I like the “Harry promotes witchcraft and satanism” ones more than the “Well, it’s hardly Brideshead Revisited, now is it?” types. They’re more fun to tweak.
To: Politicalmom
I guess I just grew past the cartoons a few years ago. For a myriad of odd reasons I find the potter scenario boring just as I do video games and sending 50 text messages a day to people down the hall. I just don’t find the books entertaining or interesting.

So everyone, what would Dumbledore see in the Mirror of Erised? Its not coming to me....his sister, what?
He's much like Harry--he would see a happy family restored.

So, what’s your take on cheesy romance novels?
To: Neoliberalnot
I apologize for forcing you to open this thread and post. I’m sure it took up too much of your valuable time when you could be attending weird college classes.
Oddly, I read Harry Potter, don’t watch porn, and managed to get through 6+ years of higher education without a single queer studies class.

But Malfoy did not "win" Dumbledore's wand, and Harry didn't "win" Malfoy's wand, either. Ollivander's discussion of wandlore, and the connection between wizard and wands, makes it sound like they don't really understand what makes a person the "master" of the Elder Wand. Ollivander made it clear taht disarming someone made the wand 'yours'. So Malfoy did 'win' it by the standards of what transfers wand 'ownership'.
In HBP, Draco disarms Dumbledore, so that made him the owner of the wand--then Harry disarmed Draco. By following Ollivander's line of explanation--that made Harry the master of the wand.
