>undefeatable wand
>grindelwald loses it to dumbledore in a fair duel
so what's the point of this shit?
>uhhhm actually it's not a literal deathly hallow it's just a powerful artifact made by a skilled wizard
so how is it different from a regular dollar store wand? the cloak works indefinitely, the stone summons ghosts. but the wand seems like a regular wand
>gay wizard has a wand shaped like anal beads
nice one rowling
>the one asian is named ching chong
>the one irish blows everything up
>the gay wizard has anal bead wand
i kneel
why did they intentionally make the wand so repulsive looking
jrpg logic. i think it looks cool
i was the biggest fan of HP as a youth but book 7 is a huge downgrade.
>video game collectathon side quest for a plot
>a second collectathon gets mixed up in there somewhere
>extremely predictable and generic Aslan/Jesus victory over voldemort
>hedwig dies, dobby dies, now were grown ups get it????
>core characters are now charmless adults but somehow repeat their same old adolescent conflicts
it feels like rowling died and got replaced by a Christopher Tolkien type successor. one good theory ive read on Cinemaphile though is that most of the text was written by committee, with JK herself as more of a head writer than the sole author, starting with Chamber and increasing with Goblet. The only ones written with little outside help were the first and last ones. That would actually explain a lot, as the first and last books are the most unique in tone
Didn't Hedwig die in the fifth book?
no, Hedwig dies in one of the first few chapters of book 7, in the battle of the 7 potters
Sirius dies in book 5
When did Terry Pratchett start getting dementia? If it coincides with a nosedive in the structure and development of certain factors, then it's 100% he was on the writing committee. Neil Gaiman was likely involved too (since he never made a fuss about Potter being a clear riff on The Books of Magic), but he needed Pratchett to bring Good Omens back under control when they were writing together before. Pratchett was the expert/genius at tracking multiple-character development and world-building/expansion. Readers of the Discworld books said he fell off hard on that stuff towards the end.
Skeleton Finger.
lol this homosexual wants to talk about wands. Go ask your fairy godmother, gaylord
The deathly hallows should have been the three sacred treasures.
I thought it was one one of those urethral sounding rods
>but the wand seems like a regular wand
it was able to repair Harry's wand, something that should have been impossible, so it's obviously got some extra power
then again the movies never show that because the movies are directed/written by hacks who can't understand something as fricking simple as a teenager's book series
In one of the movies, the girl had a literal time streaming device, this alone blowed the frick out the “deathly hollows” in terms of utility and application
It only existed for one movie, it was never mentioned or used again
What the frick?
The number of plot holes and moronic nonsense that the time turner introduced into the story of just that one book made Rowling drop it, and hope the reader would eventually forget it ever existed.
I think she made the time turners get destroyed in the dept of mysteries (along with the prophecy snowglobes). might just be my headcanon though
Lol, I just looked it up and you're right.
>Whoopsie, we accidentally stored all of our time traveling devices right next to all the snow globes that contain recorded prophesies because what could go wrong with that?
>*everything gets destroyed by a group of teenagers*
it was a good save imo because those hourglass things were moronic. honestly she could have described them any other way in Prisoner and avoided breaking the lore.
>a rare magical creature hermione captured in the forbidden forest
>a forbidden chamber behind professor mcg's office that only works within the castle grounds and at certain times of day
just off the top of my head. Prisoner is good but overrated in the series
The idea that you would entrust a device like that to a teenage girl just so she can essentially "cheat" and take more classes than other students by attending multiple at the same time is absolutely moronic. First of all Hermione is depicted as smart, but she never demonstrates some megamind superhuman genius level IQ that would warrant her being given special privileges like being able to literally control time, and effectively clone herself. I won't even get into all the infinite ways to frick up the plot with holes and paradoxes.
Honestly the time turners' "deterministic time ring" effect is one of the best renditions of time travel
the implication is that dumble sucked his life out through his dick, no wand required, avada cunningula technique
it was a retcon, they destroyed lots of them in the book but it was never stated they were all destroyed
it literally was described as an epic duel
It is first mentioned as an epic duel by an old man at a party giving a second hand account.
There were witnesses to the duel, though.
>so how is it different from a regular dollar store wand
It does things that normal Wands can't, but it isn't some invincible wand where you can never be defeated. If that were the case, it would never be lost in the first place.
The stone also isn't perfect either, it summons up only reflections of what people were in life, there's still a veil that cannot be crossed. The cloak is perhaps the closest to perfect, but even so it isn't flawless, it's "just" an invisibility cloak that won't wear out.
wow thank you for paraphrasing the op fricking moron
these are gay books for children written by a woman and you expect logic? kek
If you're over the age of 20 then you need to get a life
these books were for children, written by a woman
The implication is supposed to be that there was no epic duel. Dumbledore used their past association to stun him when his back was turned or something.
False. Dumbledore was a known top and after he first mounted Grindelwald, and every subsequent time, the wand would forever see him as it's true master.
In an alternate universe where Me Too never happened we got a gay love story between Jude Law and Jack Frost-I mean Jack Sparrow.
