"I heard you have a dragon problem?" (Chapter 50 / 50) It is done!

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

without a spirit, you're dead

that's the whole idea of harry's death

he actually died and went to see dumbledore
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Are we still talking about Hairy Potterer? Is the resurrection stone the whatchamacallitiforgotabout that rips people's souls out of the afterlife against their will and dooms them to a cursed half-existence full of pain and torment unless it's used with the intent of the effect being temporary?

My memory of deadly hallows is foggy, I repressed most of it.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Well in that case DF is right, because that thing doesn't actually resurrect people. It just plays a cruel prank on the souls of the deceased.

Naw, he was just dreaming and Dumbledore was just communicating through him.

You know, for a British wizard, you don't know a lot about Harry Potter :P

Yeah that's pretty accurate. Easily the most cheap of the gifts.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

There's only one way to solve this

Monty Python Sketch

He's not pining! He's passed on! This potter is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!He's fuckin' snuffed it!..... THIS IS AN EX-POTTER!!

My brain is struggling to recall... I think I remember... a lot of boring walking around and characters dying for no reason?

It's a horrible image. I must be mistaken.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Yup, there definitely were a lot of pointless deaths. So many that somewhere around the end I was completely unable to feel anything for any of them because the anticlimactic demises of half of the cast left me completely jaded.

There's a golden rule in fiction writing that the first few scenes of your work should be representative of what your audience can expect from the whole. Deathly Hallows excels at following this rule, because right the first death is so pointless it perfectly sets the stage for everything that follows.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Plus the finale with Voldemort was awful and Harry talked him to death for four pages before firing one spell and ending the whole thing.

Thanks. I'm glad I read seven giant books to get to this point.
