Sandy:
I joined your IWHTL club and I will certainly join IHHC if you decide to form
it. I despise the things so much that I always delete the messages that have
the word in the title. However, there are some posters who I read every
message they post regardless of the subject, and you are one of them, which is how I
saw this.
Another element I wish JKR had never introduced in the books is
Occlumency/Legilemency. I don't understand the concept at all and the members of this group
seem to think everything is somehow attached to them. I can't understand how
you can possibly concentrate on any task at hand when you have to go about the
business of keeping someone from intruding into your psyche as you are doing
it. No wonder Harry didn't get it; I couldn't have either. I don't like it on
principle as well. I wouldn't want to live in a world where my thoughts were
always subject to being intruded on. I wouldn't have my job for two minutes
under those circumstances -- my apartment either, come to think of it.
So, you form that club and I will join it. I can only hope that the bulk of
DH won't be eaten up by the damned things.
Sandy, who does not believe Harry is a Horcrux, accidental or otherwise.
