No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wrong thread. Nothin' to see here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm guessing you meant to post that somewhere else...

Nah, it was just a typo. It should have read: “KILL WEASLEY!” Joss & Rowling couldn't work out the details, though.

There's going to be ballet in the half-born prince? Say it ain't so.

Makes you hope Hagrid's not the one involved, right?

Well, that wish is pretty much constant (doesn't even depend on the title), but that would make it all the more urgent.

And honestly, I'm not sure that Harry Potter isn't gay enough.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I love Hagrid.

I enjoy how his relationships to the other characters scream "this story is not American".

And I think he's a woobie.

Can you explain further? I think he's almost the Magical Retarded/Differently Raced. Nothing particularly unAmerican about him at all.

Always Anti-fascist!

I like Hagrid, too, but I'm pretty outside Potter Fandom except for Am and Pandarus.
