The Truth About Harry 

Roxanne Feldman 


'They are very keen to know whom I'm going to kill. Very, very, very 
keen. That fascinates me. I think I understand why. They are all 
really worried about Ron. They've seen so many films where the main 
character's best friend died [that] I think they have become 
incredibly wise and know the storyteller's tricks, basically. They 
know that if Ron died, *Harry would have such a grudge, that it 
would make it very personal.* (emphasis mine) 

Are you planning to kill off Ron?

I can't let on too much."


Enough of a grudge to really cause some pain? And I was thinking, I'm 
absolutely positive DD could use crucio to effect. The way I see it 
learning to use crucio might be like learning the summoning charm. 
At first it takes concentration and real focus, but after years of 
practice and learned focus it becomes second nature. Now, no doubt 
Crucio would still require a little effort, I would think full-grown 
wizards (esp DEs like Fake!Moody could manage it without needing to 
concentrate too hard.) Seems to me that a full grown Harry could 
manage it without being a horrible person inside.

Jason, who thinks he would have Expelliarmussed Bellatrix first off 
and followed up with a Petrificus Totalus and then taken a nice 
leisure in Crucio!
