DD and Harry in Book VI, what you do and don't want to see

[dumbledore11214]

No: HPFGUIDX 123505


 
Lupinlore also listed:
3) Harry becoming a suffering saint who decides to "put his own 
pain aside for the good of others."
 
5) The interaction between DD and Harry turning on insipid
 discussions of "adulthood" and "what's right over what's easy."
 
 
SSSusan now, very briefly:
I find it amusing that you use the very *loaded* words "silly" 
and "insipid" and a clearly sarcastic tone with "suffering saint" 
when you list the things you do not want to see.  Why are they so 
silly & insipid?  What's so horrible about putting others before you 
in desperate times?  They may not be what you want to see, but 
they're part of what JKR has given us so far, so I can't quite see 
why you'd expect to see no more of them.

Alla:

I will definitely NOT speak for Lupinlore,especially since I think 
this is one of those rare times that we differ a bit. :o)

Again, I DON'T want Harry to stop being a hero, because then he will 
not be Harry we all know and love ( or at least I know and love), 
but I am afraid we are back to Harry "the hero" v "close to realism" 
portrayal of Harry JKR seems to be doing in OOP.

I DON'T find it realistic in the slightest ( and yes, I know that 
this is the book about magic, I am only speaking about Harry 
emotional development) that after all that Harry had been through he 
will be concerned about saving the world.

After OOP he has SO MANY issues to work through starting with 
Sirius' death. I disagree that WW well being would be the first 
thing on his mind.

Am I confusing , Susan? If those were the books NOT in the fantasy 
genre, I would say that I expect years for Harry to come to more or 
less normal emotional state.

I understand that JKR does not have a book space or time to do 
something like that, but I HOPE that she will at least NOT drop all 
those issues right away  and again I am thinking about 
the "mastering his emotions in order to be useful". It makes me 
scared.


Just my opinion,

Alla
