Julia: <<Yeah, I agree with you. I don't see trying to
cast Crucio as a wrong thing too. I like reading about
those bad sides of Harry's personality because they
make him more real. Besides, I think he had rights to
do that, even though didn't know how to cast the
spell. Sirius died, and Harry once again lost his
father... I wouldn't be surprised if he had tried to
AK her. After all he didn't think properly then.>>
Kelsey:
I can understand why Harry did what he did (an
unforgivable curse on Bellatrix); heck, two years
after I read that book, I still want to do it to the
murderer of Sirius Black. If he didn't do something
horribly reactionary, I'd think that he wasn't really
bothered by Sirius' murder, or that he didn't have any
moraldilemmass.
But I still think that Harry should feel sorry for
doing it. He's supposed to be good. He's supposed to
"be above" revenge and using the Dark Arts. Harry, as
a hero (an involuntary one), is put to higher moral
standards. He's human, yes. He makes mistakes, yes.
But he's got to feel sorry for it. He's got to learn
his lesson, and that he can't lower himself to the
level of a DE.
And its not like killing or revenge is a smart move,
anyway. The last time he wanted to commit revenge and
kill someone with magic, he almost killed an innocent
man (Sirius in POA).
Kelsey, who believes that theUnforgivablee Curses are
unforgivable, but one should ask for forgiveness and redemption.
