He’s an a-hole, but I don’t think he’s a psychopath.

The sword was Goblin made. Gryffindor didn’t exactly steal it, at least not by Human standards. Goblins consider the maker of an object to be the true owner and buyers to be more like renters. According to Goblin customs, the sword should have been returned after Godric’s death, instead of hidden in the Sorting Hat. From Godric’s point of view, he paid for the sword so he could do what he wants with it. Really, when wizards and Goblins do business with each other, they should just have contracts that make it very explicit which species’ customs they are following.

They’re both adorable friends of the protagonist who have funny voices and supernatural powers, including teleportation. I think that’s about it.

I remember debating one of my friends the year before the final book came out about whether or not Harry is a horcrux. I insisted that he was not one. That friend moved to a different school before the book came out, so I never had to face the shame of being wrong.

He never thought he was going to die, and I don’t think he particularly cared what would happen to the world if he wasn’t in it.

Jim Dale always used “see” so that’s what I use. “Key” just sounds wrong to me.

^^Cursed Child isn’t very well written, so it is never explained. Maybe he wanted a kid for some reason, or maybe he is still capable of feeling sexual attraction even if he can’t feel love.

You don’t need to love someone to have a baby.

The master of death is somebody who accepts the inevitability of death. Voldemort could never be master of death.

Voldemort had never even heard of the resurrection stone. They didn’t read Beedle the Bard in the muggle orphanage. Even if he had heard of it, he wouldn’t be interested in the stone. Voldemort wants to avoid death. There is nobody that he wants to bring back from death. Voldemort fears the dead.

Of course, time travel worked completely differently in Cursed Child, but its best just to ignore that.

Dumbledore borrowed the Cloak once he realized it was a Hallow. He knew about Draco’s mission because Snape told him. He knew about Harry’s importance because of the prophecy. Dumbledore was not a time traveler.

Murder is wrong. It doesn’t matter who the victim is.

It would be wrong, but not because of the law. Killing people is bad. It literally tears apart your soul.

I think my family already had a DVD player by the time the first movie came out.

A little more than one word, but

JK Rowling tweeted

That doesn’t seem to be a specifically Slytherin trait. We’ve seem non-Slytherins sacrifice themselves for family, most notably Lily. Then their’s Voldemort, the ultimate Slytherin, who actually murdered his family.

Only if you mispronounce either Freddie or die.

Part of the problem is that they cut the scene in PoA where Dumbledore explains that Wormtail owes Harry a debt. Without that setup, Wormtail’s death scene wouldn’t quite work.

Can you finish the game without doing his quest?

I wasn’t surprised that they cut Kreacher’s Tale. The movies rarely did flashbacks apart from the pensive scenes. They cut out every time one character tells a story to another character. They also cut Hagrid’s Tale in OotP, and Ariana’s whole backstory in DH.

I think the thing about werewolves responding to the calls of their own kind was just from the movie. I don’t remember that being in the book.
