Ron is the jerk he's always been, except now, he's lost all faculty of reason and <B>has turned more violent than ever.</B></I><BR/><BR/>I couldn't remember a scene where he was more violent than ever, but it has leapt into my brain. Ron throwing a knife in the Weasley's kitchen to one of the twins? Yeah what was up with that. Not that I condone violence, but whatever happened to a bit of sibling punching?<BR/><BR/>And not that I'm trying to make JKR's 6th book look great, but we must remember that HBP is part 1 of a two book story. Maybe the mysteries will be revealed in the next book. Regardless, JKR did a piss poor job in making the book be as convincing as the previous. <BR/><BR/>There was no plot, unless you want to consider learning and finding horcruxes a plot. What felt more like a plot were the romances, which weren't even told very well. It was told in an askew matter that does ironically resemble teenage hormones. How does romance fit in a mystery story anyhow?<BR/><BR/>Though Harry didn't learn a new spell to save his life, what about remembering that DD told him to use light of the Inferi were to rise? And they say Hermione loses her head when she's faced with trouble!chasezgrangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177478473424691211noreply@blogger.com
