J. K. Rowling's Biggest Regrets About Harry Potter
video description
I think when Cedric Diggory got murdered, the killing of our favorite characters started. I actually didn't like the fact that Cedric had to die (just because it's one of the driving force that made Albus Severus Potter and his friend do that time-turner adventure) peace x
Sirius suffered in Azkaban for more than ten years, and yet he's innocent. What makes his death tragic is the fact that he's innocent but the ministry claims otherwise so he's forced to live most of his life hiding and alone. He was only given the freedom he deserved after his death which I find upsetting.
Dumbledore dying is SAD, it's just SAD. One of the greatest wizard we've ever met whose presence makes one secure, at peace, calm, like he never fails to save the day. I actually like the fact that during his funeral, people around the wizarding world came to give their last respect. The appearance of the Beauxbaton Carriage (I hoped the durmstrung ship appeared too but nah, the merman surfacing from the lake, the centaur's appearance (despite the bitter relationship they have with others, and the likes. I mean this just proves what a great man Dumbledore is.
Hedwig! She's a sweetheart. I really like it every time she's mentioned. She got this attitude which makes her fun and interesting. So when she got hit by that hex/ jinx to protect Harry, I cried. Like they didn't even have the time to get her corpse TnT

I've never enjoyed this lady and her logic as a writer myself. Her excuses for certain deaths just piss me off. A lot of the story makes me mad, honestly.
Arthur lived so Lupin had to die makes no sense unless it's literally two people hanging off a cliff with limited time and only one person to pull them up.
She wrote bad things happening to the characters in a children's story out of spite. She was going to kill off Ron out of spite.
Writing should be an escape for better things, not a place to let your hatred fester and literally kill off half of the freakin characters. Any excuse of Well the people growing up reading it from the beginning matured with the books. is foolish as well, as that leaves a small group of people in comparison to the majority who actually read it.
Sure nine-year-old, we can read the Harry Potter books, but sorry if you like them because you'll have to be older to read the last few books so you're not confused and scarred because all of the silly people you love in this silly magical story are consistently killed or tortured. That's not how a beloved series should be read, anyway. It's one thing reading them as they come out, but when you find a completed series you love as a kid (one who likes to read) or even wanting to binge watch the movies that you really like and just found, you get excited that there's so many to read/watch!
Been mad at this all for years because I really wanted to adore the series and these characters. Too tired to put my words together. anger grrr

God did I cry for Dobby.
I am probably a bit weird, but I'm upset we don't go through the healing process of all of that. I mean, how do George and the Weasley get over Fred's death? I feel horrible to let George there with his twin dead.
And Andromeda, how does she get over all the deaths around her, being left with her grand son?
That would have been better for me than '19 years later'.
Anyway, I started writing my fan fiction (a story happening beside Harry's, just to fill the gaps I want / need filled, and to show more of some characters that were underused or just shed another light on them)
Also, why does everybody stops at 'Snape gave a rough time at Harry because he looks like James' when it's said all over that Harry has his mother's eyes, and Snape is basically responsible for her death (as he told the prophecy to Voldemort) So every day, looking at harry, it's his guilt looking at him: Lily's eyes staring at him, from someone looking like his enemy.
And his problem with Neville: If Voldemort had chosen Neville, Lily would be alive.

If you were a muggle, meaning you might not have ever laid your hands on the books you'd not pair Romione. Ronald Weasley is perfect pair of Hermione Granger and pairing Harry with Hermione would have been like incest.
You wouldn't know a thing about love and how Ron and Hermione have come close to each other throughout the series from movies. Your filthy besmirching movies made Ron look dumb and You would be a muggle, meaning you might not have ever laid your hands on the books. Ronald Weasley is perfect pair of Hermione Granger and pairing Harry with Hermione would have been like incest.
You don't know a thing about love and how Ron and Hermione have come close to each other throughout the series. Your filthy besmirching movies made Ron look dumb and Hermione without flaws which is incorrect. rmione without flaws which is incorrect.

3 things I regret for the story that I'd follow for years are:
1-Voldemort never caught me as a good villain. Something of him was remaining always flat and predictable to me.
2- Dumbledore image got just ripped off. Starting from the 4th book but after the story of the past, revealed from Snape's tears, portrays a machiavellian cold-blooded Dumbledore that can never be revindicated as what happened with Snape's character.
3- There is a lot of wasted potential in character development especially on Draco Malfoy. There could have been more on is character progression and could even have a very interesting plot facing his own father, The first book gave a glimpse of a probable friendship with Harry.
Don't get me wrong, I loved HP but those things remained impossible to reconcile to me.

I don't think harry and hermione should ended up together. I loved this decision of Rowling that Ron ended up with hermione. Because there are some relationships which is very realistic. such as Friends, Brother sister relations. there are some people in our life who are not our brother or sister. but we love them as own brother or sister. people sometimes misunderstands this kind of relationships. From first movie Harry loves hermione as a friend and sister. hermione also loves loves harry so much as friend and brother. their relationship was very pure. They never thought each other as a life partner. they loves each other in another way.

Ron and Hermione a big YES! One I didn't like is Harry and Ginny. BORING! And Harry doesn't need to marry Ginny to be a Weasley. He is already part of the family. I think having Ginny and Neville together is better. He has no family left really so being accepted into the Weasleys would be a huge deal! And they would give to each other something the other wants and needs. I think Harry and Luna should've ended up together. He's really the first to see her as not just Looney Lovegood and she has an understanding of him and what he may be feeling and going through that none of the other characters seem to fully get.

This is an amazing story, but there are 2 things about it that are just AWFUL. Harry and Ginny is probably the worst relationship I have ever seen in a movie or read in a book. There is no chemistry and it just seems so fricking forced. The other thing is Ron and Hermione. That is probably the 2nd worst relationship Ive ever seen in movie or read in book, very little chemistry and very forced. Harry and Hermione were the only people that ever had chemistry through the entire series and wouldve had a much more believable relationship than either of the other 2 that we got

i don't hate the fact that lupin died, but i think tonks dying was not needed. and fred was absolute trash dying. how about killing off lucious malfoy and also some other good unimportant character.
i dont hate ron and hermione togheter, but i think it made less sense personalitywise. they needed more scenes togheter on film and in the books. harry and ginny def needed more time to develop in the books and especially on film. I acctually would have prefered them to wach eachother from the first book, rather than comin in later.

My least favorite deaths are Cedric's (he was so young) Sirius's (because in the end of the order of the Phoenix the found him innocent and he never got to explore it) Dobby's (He did a lot for them was very loyal) Remus and tonks (they just had a child who lost both parents young) Fred's (he finally had his dream in the half-blood prince the joke shop a lot to live for) Snape (we never got to really see Snape's true self) of Lily and James Potter died when they were only 21 but if they didn't what would have happened
