Voldemort discussion

A few of these things have been bothering me for a while throughout the series.

1. Trelawney is a fake seer, so how can she predict little things correctly? Like, she predicted that that Neville will break his teacup, that Lavender's pet rabbit will die, and Hermione will leave class. Also, she said that Harry's dreads will come to pass, and then Voldemort comes to power? Is it just lucky guesswork?

2. What exactly happens to Dementors when patronuses get them? Do they just back off and leave, or do they disappear? Throughout the books they do both. If the dissapear, do they reappear somewhere else?

3. In The Deathly Hallows, Bathilda Bagshot, a.k.a. Nagini, didn't speak to Harry in front of Hermione so Hermione wouldn't realize she was a Parseltongue. But Nagini called "Come!" to Harry when he doesn't follow her upstairs right away. Why doesn't Hermione hear that it's hissing- she was right next to Harry!!

And, lastly...

4. Hagrid's wand got snapped when he got expelled, but he kept the pieces and hid them in his pink umbrella. He can do perfectly fine magic with the broken pieces. But when Ron's old wand snapped in CoS, he can't do any working magic with it; it will backfire or whatever. Why?

If anyone has any answers, please tell me.

1. She's an...odd seer. I think that she can See, she just has many odd little superstitions.

2.I think they just leave. Not dissapear, just leave. Just like if you threw water on a cat, it wouldn't like it, it would leave but not disspaear.

3.She most likely wasn't paying attention, and because it didn't sound like anything to her, she ignored it thinking it was just a noise of the house.
That's what all humans do. If something doesnt make sense, we just ignore it.

4.He can't do very good magic actually, he can just do the basic spells, like ron. Also, Ron isnt a very experienced spellcaster, so he doesnt know how to deal with it.

Those are my opinions, i might be wrong, but that's my guess.

Thanks, that really cleared it up for me!! :D

I dont know for sure if that's right, they're just guesses.

Well, here is what I think:
1. Trelawney is pretty much a fake, but her grandmother made a prediction before, so she's bound to accidentally make a real prediction every once and a while.

2. what Tess said, but I wouldn't recommend throwing water on a cat.

3. Hermione and Harry already thought the lady was crazy so what more is a hiss?

4. Remember when Hagrid tried to turn Dudley into a pig? It didn't work out so well. I think his umbrella only can do some spells.

Well, I pretty much just reanswered some stuff, but I was bored. So there.

Cool thanks

Was Hagrid trying to turn him into a pig? I thought that he was only giving him a tail.

No, in the boat it says that Hagrid was trying to turn him into a pig. But he failed.

Yeah, he didn't purposefully just give him a tail. Since Dudley was eating Harry's birthday cake like a pig, tried to turn him into a pig, but just managed to give him a tail.

Well, it's probably a good thing he didn't turn into a pig because it would probably be rather hard to explain that your son got turned into a pig because a giant man did something to him with a pink umbrella.

Haha funny

HAHAAH.
yeah, most likely.

Until book seven came out, I probably felt disappointed that Hagrid didn't turn him into a pig, after all Dudley did to Harry, but when I read seven, I felt a little more sympathy for him. It was really nice that he accepted Harry as his brother... I guess it took a saved life to get that.

Yeah i guess I have a ? too

1. Is J.K.R. going to write more books or what cause i've heard both

2. I'm confused about what happened in the 7th book when Harry "died".

I'll try my best to answer those.

1. She's not going to write any more Harry Potter books, but she's going to make a Harry Potter encyclopedia with all the stuff not in the books.

2. Because Harry willingly went and sacrificed himself for everyone in Hogwarts, he wasn't killed- he was protected by the same kind of magic that took place when Harry's mother saved him. He didn't die for the same reason he didn't die a baby.

Love makes the world go round. just had to say that.

Wow very random

yeah, I know.

"Because the world is round it turns me on.
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry"
taken with love from the beatles.

i love that song!!
i LOVE the beatles

Never heard the song. At least, I don't think I have...

What about Hey Jude? I love that song! The Beatles are the best! I was really excited because they used Beatles songs on American Idol last week. It was the first time I've watched the show in a long time, but it was really fun seeing the Beatles songs brought back!

They used Beatles on American Idol!! AWESOME. Don't ask me for my favorite song of theirs, I can't decide.

I've heard some of their songs (CD's, radios, my mom's clock, etc.) but I can't tell you any of the songs I've heard. I don't know the names. Don't get me wrong, I like their music, but I don't listen to it enough to know any of the names.

Oh. Well I'm a total Beatles fan- play me any song and I will (probably) be able to name it.

Not me! Even some of the bands I know pretty well, I couldn't tell you anything about their music. Unless I really try.

I love the Beatles and all, but I can't believe how many of their songs that I don't know. I just heard the song Yesterday about two weeks ago and it's one of their really famous ones!

Oh. There's only been two that I came across and haven't heard before, and that's because they weren't on my ipod for some reason.

Same here except it wasn't on my computer.

I have 270 beatles songs on my ipod, plus the songs that ringo, john, paul and george sing alone.

wow same with me!! i'm a serious beatles fan

Wow! They have written a lot of songs.

no kidding

That's not it. I'm missing like 6 CDs, too.
But a lot of songs are on more than one album.
Like the REALLY famous ones.

Yeah. If you had to choose, what would be your favorite song/s of the beatles?

Michelle. Then A Hard Day's Night. Then Eight Days A Week. Those are my FAVORITE songs of all artists. My top three are always beatles songs, and they always change. Ever sence Jason Castro sang Michelle, i've been in love with that song.

I like In My Life, and Baby It's You, and Devil in her Heart, and Nowhere Man. those are some of my favorites

How many songs have they written all together?

a LOT

Tess, I know exactly what you mean! I watched Jason Castro sing Michelle and If I Fell. I definitely fell for those songs. I also love Across the Universe, Yesterday, and Fool on a Hill.

YES!
I love all their songs.
The lady that sang Back in the USSR deserved to go home. She messed up a BEATLES song. That's a no-no.

Okay, so maybe she didn't do the best job on that song. She's still a really good singer, just more of a old-timey feel about her voice.

I love those songs too, Katie!

Mrs. Willoughby, the choir director, called her a horrible skunk. It was really funny. I said "Who got kicked off American Idol?" and she said "The horrible skunk."

haha!

Horrible skunk? What? Can someone clue me in, please!

That skunk lady on american idol that sang "Back in the USSR" and made it HORRIBLE. And then got kicked off.

She's not a skunk. Her hair just happens to resemble one. I don't think she's as bad as you think she is. but I can definitely see Mrs. Willoughby saying that about her.

Hmm...that explains it, I don't watch American Idol.

But it's actually a good season this year! Sorry to be random, but how does make stuff bold?
