Harry Potter: 3 More Things I Learned

It’s been denied many, many times on this thread!

NO, what has been pointed out to you over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER is that there are NO REAL OCCULT practices in Harry Potter.

The magic based on what people USED TO BELIEVE is stuff that's all considered hocus pocus even by wiccans and witches.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"What part of OF COURSE IT DIDN'T WORK do you not understand?????"

J K Rowling is not the final authority o­n whether occult practices actually work or not. She has admitted that she's using real beliefs and practices. Whether she believes that they are (or were) effectual or not is not the issue.

[Corin Stormhands]

You’re lying. As a Christian that should give you pause.

[JenB]

So you’re the final authority on what occult practice work?

Could you please read the books and tell me why my spells keep going wrong? I use “scourgify” on the dishes but they don’t seem to get any cleaner.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“You’re lying. As a Christian that should give you pause.”

Where am I lying?

[Corin Stormhands]

There is none so blind, as he who will not see.

[Cymbaline]

Maybe you should be using of Mrs. Skower’s All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover.

[Corin Stormhands]

I’ve been screaming “reducio” at the bathroom scales for years...

[Cymbaline]

Did your scales get smaller?

[Corin Stormhands]

Yeah. And my pants too...

[Cymbaline]

Eventually you’ll be able to give them to Dobby.

[Corin Stormhands]

~snif~

Poor Dobby...

[PetroniusMaximus]

“There is none so blind, as he who will not see.”

If you are going to acuse me of lying, you should at least try and prove it.

[JenB]

Unfortunately they don’t sell that at HyVee.

[Corin Stormhands]

Try Post 931. See if you can figure it out.

[Corin Stormhands]

Cain’t you get yer house elf to do the dishes?

[PetroniusMaximus]

“Try Post 931. See if you can figure it out.”

Point out the lie in 931.

[JenB]

He is a very lazy house elf.

Maybe you should read this:

Harry Potter & the Fire-Breathing Fundamentalists

(Thanks to Corin - I think - for sharing this link.)

[Corin Stormhands]

It’s a further continuation of your twisting the author’s words in Post #912.

As we’ve said repeatedly, we don’t care if you read the books. But you are not qualified to judge them OR J.K. Rowling.

What’s disingenuous is you distorting her words to mean something entirely different.
