 * Not that I don't think the line is great, it just contradicts a concept that Dumbledore puts forward very strongly in the sixth book. Harry is told by an anxious Dumbledore (a very rare emotion for the latter) that he does have the choice to walk away from the Prophecy's prediction. The "you have no choice" line in the film blows that idea out of the water.--Yin&amp;Yang 12:10, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Yin&amp;Yang, This line spoils the concept of book.Remusblack 17:14, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. That's what happens when idiots try to improve perfectly good books with some corny quote for the movie.

Against

 * I didn't hate Draco until this quote. The coward.
 * hey, whomever wrote above me, if YOUR family was about to be killed but you could save them by killing someone else, would you? i say aainst this quote for the reason that not only is it depressing, but it also doesn't describe much. if you flicked through the book and just read that quote, you'd be really confused78.151.120.182 02:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)TheFang78.151.120.182 02:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Molly Weasley breaks up Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's conversation involving Horcruxes."
