 Re: Not what they seem
Well, there was the cat at the very beginning on Privet Drive,
Harry himself for those ten years,
Scabbers,
Ginny,
that innocent little diary,
Lockheart,
Barty Jr. as MadEye…
Hey, wait a minute – It’s another “I should have known” moment.
I don’t mean to turn another thread into an extention of T.I.R.A.D.E., but that story was pretty dumb, too.
How could Barty Jr. have played such a role so well? He was just a dumb kid, already a basket case, and then he spent over a decade of his early adulthood in a prison of fog. Forget the incredible amount of talent one would need to impersonate MadEye so well for so long in front of so many people. He had no time or opportunity to develop such a talent.
He also had little time to play with Voldemort and learn the dark arts. A little time as a kid before Voldemort fell, then those few summer weeks between the Quiddich Cup (Barty Jr’s escape) and the beginning of school in September.
I shrugged it off and made excuses at the time. If I think about it real hard I could remember what my excuses were, but I don’t care enough.  |
