I can see where this would be a teetering subject. It could be someone randomly writing this and saying JK said it... hmm. Well, I'm hoping it's true. It makes the story even cooler. (:
It makes perfect sense that the klutzy idiot named Harry Potter freed the one snake he would be forced to kill later. That's called making a mistake and backtracking rapidly.
But seriously, this is Rowling's style. It makes sense.
What is Rowling's style, exactly? And....WHOA I did not know that!!! How did He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (odd way to refer to Voldemort, seeing as when he was born, he was named, right?) meet that snake anyway...I thought he went to Albania, not Brazil.
Rowling's style is that of an enormous plotter who likes finding connections between books because she looks at a series as an ongoing story instead of a series of installments. In addition, she likes having Harry do stupid things without obviously horrible consequences.
And yes, I'm insulting Harry, because I really don't like him.
Personally, I like the fact that she connects the books like that. Obert Skye did a bit of that with the LT books as well, and it was pretty cool, I'd say.
Neville is amazing. Secretly you know you like Neville.
Mm, Snape. He was quite the debatable character for me. I was never fond of him, and then the last book went and decided that Snape should be the good guy in it. It's bizarre.
I don't quite understand...does J.K.Rowling mean that they only used the same snake to act as Nagini and the Brazil snake or that the snake Harry freed eventually met Voldemort and became a Horcrux?
Neville is very likable, but I like Harry as well. Perhaps Harry is a bit too lucky sometimes, but as a whole he's probably my favorite character. And Hermione, I like Hermione as well.
I'd say the latter. The snake that is up there (that Harry set free in the first book/movie) eventually met Voldemort and Voldemort named it Nagini and used it for his Horcrux. I hope that cleared it up for you a bit! (:
I agree, he does get overly lucky sometimes, but I do say that it is balanced out by how much tragedy and sadness he faces. Ah, Hermione. She's pretty awesome as well!

So did I!
ReplyDeleteIt's really surprising!
DeleteI've heard this before...some say it's fake...others not...there's a lot of debate going on about this.

DeleteI've seen this before but I don't know if it's true - it just seems so unlikely!
ReplyDeleteBut yet there's a slim possibility that it's true! But the unlikeliness is a bit higher...oh I just don't know what to think.

Oh, come now. Don't insult poor Harry.

Y'know, I was wondering that myself...
DeleteHmm, I don't quite remember. It could also be that he changed his mind of where he was going.

DeleteI'm more of a Neville fan myself.
I don't like Neville either. The only partially decent character was Snape, and he was only decent for one book.
DeleteNeville is amazing. Secretly you know you like Neville.
