What was the point of this guy?
He didn't end up doing shit.
He was a weakling cuck to bolster Potter's plot armor.
A nazi metaphor.
>>72096942
That's exactly what I thought after reading Deathly Hallows. He barely featured in the book and went out with a whimper after having featured so heavily in HBP.
But then I guess that was the point of his character. He was a conflicted and ineffective weakling, too emotionally messed up to be able to do something significant either way.
He ends up helping Harry by throwing him his wand in a deleted scene. It's something.
What was the point of any character? Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
I don't know. When watching you think that he's gonna have some kind of redemptive arc, with him choosing to help Harry and friends save the day. But he doesn't end up doing anything.
Him being a weakling, being the whole point of his character, doesn't seem that fulfilling or interesting, as we don't spend enough time with him to care. Nor is the subject matter complex or interesting enough for us to ponder his thematic importance.
Ambivalence of good and evil or some shit.

he saves harry and their lives in malfoys manor...he is redeemed because he turns out not to be evil after not killing dumbledore
>>72097458
you were really supposes to feel bad for him given that the only way he could prove himself was by doing something which all along was against his nature
>>72097546
huh they should have kept that little bit
>>72097563
Plz tell me that is a meme image fit only for stirring shit. So many inaccuracies I cant help but be triggered.
The malfoy family should've been fucking nuremburg'd after the whole event.
They got away with being nazis and nazi sympathisers for years

Began as a way to introduce the Nazi shit in a direct and meaningful way when the gang were still schoolkids.
Was made redundant by the gorillion other Death Eaters introduced and characterized in the later books, because Rowling is a shit writer.
>>72096942
THIS FUCKING CHARACTER had so much potential. He was built up to be Harry's nemesis since book one and that premise just faded with every new book.
I've always wanted him to redeem himself, like really redeem himself and not becoming passive enough to not be an active enemy anymore.
There was also so much tension between him and Hermione, I really thought they were gonna get together at some point.
>>72096942
>JK Rowling can't write boys
Gosh, who would have ever guessed?
Blonde, white males are evil.
Haven't you ever seen a movie? Why are there so few blonde leads?
Really makes you think.
>>72096942
why was doby and old doby slaves if they can teleport and defeat powerful wizards easily without using wands?
He helped give more insight into the mind of the Death Eaters and other Voldemort supporters. Without him the bad guys would be a lot more cartoonishly evil.

I remember Rowling saying she planned for him to redeem himself, but so many people clamored for it due to Draco's unexpected popularity that she decided to just keep him a weasely weakling because it was more unexpected.
>>72097563
oh hey Quentyn! Did you learned what High-Fantasy is already or are you still comparing random books with what your teacher is forcing you to read this time.
>>72101389
It's a teenager manlet called Quentyn who shitpost on multiple boards with pastas. His feats include:
>being a known, confirmed manlet
>getting really triggered at asoiaf, weed and the
3ds
>admitting to be a pedophile and hating anime because he believes is what turned him into one.

JK a shit.

He existed to be an early game boss
>>72096942
He was the Edward Cullen before Twilight came to be, and essentially served the same purpose.
So that edgy teens could get wet over him.
What's the lewdest Harry Potter fanfic. Asking out of curiosity.

This makes me wonder how WWII affected the wizard world in the HP universe, especially the Nazis and the German wizards. I could see them working with Himmler and his black sun occult stuff.

>>72097563
I agree that harry potter is shit. All the men in it are ineffective beta males. Nothing anything Harry does really has much consequence. And he only defeats voldemort with some lame reflect spell, one of the lamest cliches one could write.
