I say this with a :leon: on my face, because I always thought Bungie fukked up with the Master Chiefs character. If you read the books, as a kid/in boot camp, he's never the best in his class. He's not the fastest. Not the strongest. Not the smartest. He's just the luckiest. And I always thought that was a horrible way to write the character. But now I realize even as the authors said this, they weren't scaling back his abilities. They are doing so to make you appreciate everyone around him. JK fukked up because everyone is a bumbling IDIOT in that school. Seriously, look at Dumbledore's Army. Them nikkas are something out of a Wayans Bros sketch. So now, readers aren't looking at them as "kids" fighting experienced villains. Everyone is just looking at them as dumb ass characters.

Yeah, almost all of Harry's wins were because somebody helped him out at just the right time :mindblown: I thought that was going to change for the final battle but not even then the victory is 100% his. Snape and Dumbledore fought Voldemort from the grave knocking his health points to 1, and Harry just jumps in to finish him off? :what:

Can't she just write prequels of Harry's Parents, young Snape, younger Dumberdore, and young Voldermort?

Im sure she could, but

1. We already know the outcome

2. Would readers be as enamored with those characters as we were the Harry Potter characters

3. Even if she does do a prequel, Harry Potter fans will probably still expect something involving the original characters

If she put Harry and Hermione together she could have made a clean break from Ron and his family. A new series of books pretty much have to include Ron and Ginnie now on some some level. Unless you kill them off immediately of course :shaq:

:laugh: at everyone coming at Ron's head. Dude is damn near Yamcha status. :dead:

Because the sh*t was stupid. I could see if Ron was a swagged up, bad boy, jock type dude. No homo. Then it would be like........yea, Harry's the chosen one and the hero but, Ron is still a fly nikka in his own right. Like Han Solo. But instead he's an underachieving loser. Why would a type-A girl like Hermione go for him?
