8. 8.Yea lets. As whatever you’ll write, it will immediately challenged, and then you don’t read others opinions.
9. I can hardly believe I am having to do this I viewed Prof. Umbridge as being a very clean, well educated, nicely dressed and groomed person, an “indoor” person. The centaurs represented outdoor people, who gather their own food and firewood, go hunting, and live in the woods. I never thought Umbridge was raped. I thought she might have been “roughed up” a bit, treated crudely, temporarily enslaved. . To find rape in a children’s book is not just ridiculous but sad that you had to sink that low. its not something to be thrown around lightly. I have several Pagan/Wiccan friends I had read this post and they all agreed with the comments that the professor was scared $hitle$$ but raped? no, it’s a kids book and movie….. they also agreed that you are very unhappy lady/lad. they may have ran her through the forest and left her there to get the crap scared out of her. I suspect that all that happened to her was to be dragged through the forest, and held prisoner by creatures that she considered quite inferior to her. That that was more than sufficient to traumatize her.The centaurs in the Harry Potter universe are portrayed as “noble savages,” i.e. naturally intelligent and sensitive beings who, in many respects, are “more civilized” than humans are So, I really can’t buy for a moment that the centaurs would have raped Umbridge, or that Rowling would have suggested such. They may not even have run her through the forest to scare her; they may have just brought her to their lair, tied her up, and left her there facing the wall, deaf to her demands of “Release me at once, you savages!”As far as the centaurs in Harry Potter go, I do recall that they were even more resentful of humans in a variety of ways as time went on, which is why Firenze ended up becoming a kind of outcast among them, because he was too interested in having peaceful relations with them. (Which sort of reminds me of how some apologists and “assimilationists” in certain political and social movements get treated…) I think they were to be feared, as a result, and one was to be cautious with them, but I don’t recall that there was talk of them being more inclined to violence in their dealings with humans. I may be wrong on that, however; I’m sure they’d not hesitate to lay the smack-down on someone who actually needed it/deserved it, or was actively seeking it, and even though Umbridge sort of falls into that category, at the same time I can’t see them raping herThey considered themselves to be more civil than humans and were quite refined. The only brutish thing you could percieve would be the fact that they lived in the wilderness but then that’s not “brutish”, that’s another way of living. I think that Potterverse centaurs felt nothing close to sexual attraction to humans (think of Parvati and Lavender trying unsucessfully to seduce Firenze). Potterverse centaurs were wise beings who spent long hours analizing the stars and had great knowledge of astopnomy and astrologyI don’t think that Hermione or Harry would mock a rape victim no matter how bad she was, and I don’t think Rowling would write that. Because that wouldn’t make sense with the whole point of the series. And you do know that horse penis is to huge for a human vagina right? So even if she did submit, she would be bruised pretty badly. And you say “And Umbridge suffered from trauma. I don’t know what you’re think. Do you think that a mentally ill person would go around screaming or something? Loads of people with depression/bipolar disorder/PTSD/etc go on with their days without anyone detecting anything wrong.” So why cant this be the same in case of your ABUSED Harry Theory? What convinced you she suffered trauma?
10. Just like you wont accept the 1st book is allowed to have flaws, I wont accept hermy did anything wrong by punishing a person who sold them out and severely hampered their preparations to fight the main villain.
