Hey guys! Just wanted to say I love your guys podcast and sincerely thank you for giving me another podcast in these times, your dynamic is absolutely perfect, please don’t ever change. I must say when I started I wasn’t the biggest fan of you Brian, after all you were saying bad things about my favorite book. But as you pointed out Harry’s faults, it really drove home to me how great the writing of this book is, after all your not supposed to like Harry at the beginning. I’m a huge fan of you now though, you after all are very good pointing out some things I never noticed, and articulating what the writer was doing (and you give don’t give yourself enough credit for guessing the false memory charms) also I LOVE tinfoil hat time. If it helps in your enjoyment of the book at all, I can tell you without spoiling that there’s BIG story hints for Harry’s improvement and regression, there is a pattern to look for. (SPOILER! Just for Steven) I only really noticed this because of Brian but Dumbledore represents Harry’s light side and Quirrel is the Dark side. When Harry argues with Dumbledore he gets worse, and when he argues with Quirrel he gets better. Harry is who we know he is, and Quirrel is trying to tempt Harry to act like himself through lies. And Dumbledore is following the prophecy’s prophesi? to make a good Voldemort and tells hard truths, of course Harry prefers his own company at the beginning of the story. HPMOR is basically the story about a guy coming around to not being an asshole trough argument’s with the devil and angel on his shoulder.
If he would only stop saying WEIRD, LAME, and DICK. It would be so much better without beating the dead horse “Harry is correct but a dick about it” again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again for length without laying down futher thoughts just not getting over the fact.
It helps a bit that the story progresses while at the moment he still halts for soo long in this state of obsession about it. I hope he will catch the hints soon since Steven wont stop him rambling.
Maybe it was the false move to dismiss the ciritc from the viewers in the beginning and shielding Brian. He progressed bit in the beginning and can summarize the chapters on the large scale now but he has much more to learn to be a good cohost on a podcast.
This week Brian outs himself as a Twilight fan, because he remembers the main “antagonist” of Twilight 4 as super threatening. Yup, Scrimgeour’s actor played Aro, the mind-reading king of all Vampires in Twilight.
No, wait! It was in Underworld! All is forgiven. I guess I just thought of his face when I read Luminosity!
If just knowing about Dementors are death sufficed, Godric Griffyndor could have cast the 2.0. If knowing it didn’t destroy normal patroni, Ravenclaw could have cast one. However, Dumbledore could have stunned Harry and obliviated himself to save everyone.
