#deathly hollows is such a mess rivaled only by books 3 (and arguably 6)

[queerpotters]

I'e been fairly clear about the fact that I don't like Draco (I stand by this), but I will say his arc wouldve been far more coherent if he hadnt tried to actively capture Harry during the battle of Hogwarts. As it is, he made a few steps towards the beginning of what could be a redemption arc, and then ran 20 ft backwards, slapped someone on the head, and everyone reacted like he had taken steps forward. maddening.

Having him helping Harry would be out of character I think (even if you like him, you have to admit that Draco Malfoy's primary, most consistent and enduring trait is cowardice), but even that would work better than what happened

#jk r-on top of being an all around awful human being-is a horrible writer who would not know what makes a good redemption arc #if it shot her in the foot. and that is why snape and malfoy are Like That™. #related side note. theres honestly a pretty simple solution to the death eater problem with snape. #why not just have him have chosen to join the death eaters as a spy for dumbledore. #in the first place. #it doesnt fix all the problems with him (he still bullies children because of a childhood grudge) #but having him not willingly join a hate group does fix a damn lot. it doesnt even change shit. #sorry i dont care about these characters very much often but sometimes i do see the vague shadow of something nearly well written in them. #it is quite frustrating. to be honest. #not so fun fact in my recent reread of dh #did you remember that in the last sentence before the prologue #harry hopes his slave (kreacher) will make him a sandwich. what a great book series. #lyn.txt #draco #deathly hollows is such a mess rivaled only by books 3 (and arguably 6) #but at least poa is fun something dh rarely has going for it
