Harry's Army

[Jen Reese]

No: HPFGUIDX 143716

Harry has made quite a few human and creature allies over the years, 
as well as acquiring enchanted objects which haven't made an 
appearance yet. I wonder who and what will reappear at a pivotal 
moment in Book 7? The list includes mainly those 
people/creatures/items we haven't seen actively help Harry yet, but 
seem poised to do so.

Wizards:
1) Wormtail--not an ally, but the life debt and all.
2) Hagrid--maybe his moment was at Godric's Hollow? It just occurred 
to me from the other threads at the moment Hagrid hasn't exactly 
*helped* Harry in a pinch, even though he's been emotionally 
supportive and nurturing. Maybe that's his main role in the end.
3) Mad-Eye--if nothing else he might have information about 
Dumbledore since they were old friends.
4) Charlie and/or Bill--both with unusal skills that haven't been 
utilized yet.
5) Krum--we know he'll be back from JKR and he's not under the thumb 
of Karkaroff anymore. Probably will play on one of the UK Quidditch 
teams and help out along the way?

Creatures:
1) Norbert--an eponymous chapter in the first book only to 
disappear? Hmmmm....
2) Merpeople--chieftess impressed by Harry in the second task and 
loyal to Dumbledore.
3) Grawp--has technically already helped Harry, so maybe we'll get a 
pass on him in book 7. :-)

Objects:
1) Sirius' motorcycle, now belonging to Harry and promised to be 
back.
2) Dobby's gifts, either the socks or portrait of Harry--I hope one 
of these returns and Dobby is surprised to find out Harry didn't 
realize they had powers.
3) Mirrors--set to return according to JKR.

Not to mention all the people/creatures/objects already allied with 
Harry who have helped along the way so far! Harry may be going 
forward alone, but I think his back is covered<g>.

Jen, hoping for a united front rather than the typical solo hero's 
journey.
