Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows *Warning - Thread WILL Contain Spoilers*

[TheGlassAngel]

Well, I don't like Ginny because she seems a lot like a gold-digging scallywag feeding off of her husband and has a bad taste in baby names. I promise I'll stop....sooner or later.

Oooo. No, don't stop. I've promised to stop my Ginny hate so you can take my place

I dreamt something about Harry Potter yesterday, and I woke up with a question. What House was Dumbledore in? Do we know?

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I believe it was Gryffindor. I vaguely remember Hermione saying Dumbledore was in that house in the 1st novel

 

[pandinha]

Oh really? Ahhh, I wanted a non-answered question we could actually forward to JK.

I think Dumbledore would be like Harry: Gryffindor with Slytherin qualities.

Though, oddly enough, I could see him in all four houses.

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I think even the best of us have Slytherin like complexities Without any of the main qualities of Slytherins, most of us would be flawless goody-goodies

 

[Diamond Star]

Yeah...the movies tend to gravitate toward a possible relationship with Harry/Hermione...people who don't read the books may be confused by movie seven when Ron and Hermione are full on a couple...LOL

It's possible dan and emma can't help that they have better chemistry...

I think they're just the better actors

 

[Day]

IMO, Rupert is far superior in acting to both Dan and Emma. (...especially Emma and her eyebrows. )

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I would say Dan is the best actor out of the three BUT not in the Harry Potter Films.

However, within the context of the HP films, Rupert is the best. However, Dan blew them both out of the water with the last film.

Don't get me started about Emma's acting. I love her but it's hardly satisfactory

Yes I agree about Rupert he's great and he did a wonderful job in Driving Lessons

What House would everyone here be in?

I'd think for me, either Slytherin or Ravenclaw, with more odds on the Slytherin side.

Only thing I don't like about Slytherin is ugly common room and less than attractive classmates.

 

[Day]

For the longest time I convinced myself I'd be in Hufflepuff. Just because I would honestly think that would be the best house, and I find it horribly under appreciated.

In reality, I think Slytherin. Not in a 'ooh I'm a badass' type way, but just because of my personality. (I'd like to think I'd be a non-deatheater Slytherin, though. )

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I think I would probably be in Ravenclaw with Slytherin qualities. I'm not nearly as brave as Gryffindors but I don't think I possess the qualities of a hufflepuff either

But I am somewhat intelligent and a tad evil

 

[JeanAvril]

I guess I'm between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, too. Hufflepuffs are wimps and cornballs (no offense to any Hufflepuffs), and Gryffindors are just so nice and stick up for the little guy and all that cheesy stuff. And my heart can be cold as ice sometimes so I guess I would have to be with all of the goons at Hogwarts.

I don't see Harry as having Slytherin qualities ... and I'm positive JKR doesn't see him that way either.

As far as Dumbledore ... I think his problem is that he's an idealist, and idealists can be ruthless, and can be misled (end justifies the means) ... I think this book leads us down the primrose path with Dumbledore, though ... I don't think he's nearly as bad as he "might" be at certain points in the book ...

PS I would probably be a Gryffindor.

 

[Day]

Harry was almost sorted into Slytherin; the sorting hat said he would made a great Slytherin but Harry said he didn't want to be in that house.

Harry was almost sorted into Slytherin; the sorting hat said he would made a great Slytherin but Harry said he didn't want to be in that house.

He was also Voldemort's horcrux at that time.

 

[Day]

I honestly think it's part of his personality though.

I don't view Slytherin as strictly evil, so when I say he has Slytherin-like qualities, I just mean that he is ambitious and driven and sometimes goes about things in a Slytherin-like way.

The first example that comes to mind is how Harry pretended to give Ron the lucky potion -- it was a deceptive move, but in a good way.

 

[fashionista-ta]

I really think that virtually nothing good comes out of Slytherin. Almost the best you can hope for is evil but lazy and self-interested (a la the better Malfoys). In Snape's case, remember what Dumbledore said about sorting too soon?

Harry is almost too good for his own good ... I believe that is his true nature. He does have a bit of that "I'm on a mission" streak where he doesn't necessarily respond in a fully human way, but I think that's a natural result of being "anointed" for a particular purpose.

I have not reread anything yet, though, so perhaps that could make a difference. I thought JKR's Q&A made her view of Harry pretty clear ...

I want to read the last book for sure again because I thought the plotting around Dumbledore's death was so weak. Unfortunately a friend got me started, so I don't have all the books ...

 

[zembla]

Hufflepuff rarely gets any play in the books...but it sounds like a cool house...but I'd prefer Slytherin because the black arts would be fun...LOL
