Okay, I will try to counter as much as I can, both mine and Gia’s.
1 Quidditch matters to Harry, true, but not in the way it does to the real sports man Oliver Wood ,or even ron. Both of these had their “If he lost games after games after games, some in humiliation. If seeing his ankles and wrists broken would break his heart. If he agonized over Quidditch and let it sabotage his homework, his friendships a little bit before he finally have his sweet victory.” So that’s realistic right? I understand you have a problem with harry being a immediate success but get this – the 1st book was directed at 9 – 11 year olds, and was basically a fairy tale, Rowling was not even sure that it would sell enough to pay for the publishing cost. Harry was a skimpy, ‘abused’ kid who had his dream come true at hogwarts kind lifestyle. In that book he had everything handed to him in a kid friendly silver platter. So , the first thing he was good at was quidditch. With the popularity of the series, JKR probably realised that kids may get the wrong idea and crated Ron’s passion for the game. And as far as the Broom thing goes, in international compeditions the standards are regulated severely(gof) . only in un important school games better brooms stand a chance. Then again , in a lot of school based competitions rules are twisted right
Read Quidditch through the ages for better understanding.
2. I don’t get this, so no comment, but there are Giant hourglasses mainting the scores. Adding or vanishing number of gems depending on the scores.
3 . same as 2
4. No he is a decent man. Are you saying that one negatory thought nullifies all his good actions like giving his money to Fred George, offering to his his riches with ron countless times, boosting Neville’s courage etc? and Ginny insulted Ron because Ron was being an asshole (we are talking about HBP right?) and deserved it. Again , Idont see why people say he sed Hermione. What would make you believe they were real friends ?
5. Draco first insulted people who had’nt heard of hogwarts before receiving the letter (thus Harry too), then demonstrated general racism to mudbloods, and then insulted Hagrid whom Harry already liked ,and showed 0 sensitivity to harrys dead mom and dad.
I don’t know about you, I’d treat friendship offer from this guy with some reservation.
