People here should be aware of fresh Word of God. Apparently we're NOT in the Mirror.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHY WHY WHY

WHY YOU QUESTION 110 AND NOT 111

THERE ARE NO RULES

NO RULES

To be fair, we only had 2.5 hours to question 111, while we had nearly a whole day to question 110.

A summary of the reaction, in two points:

  1. But wait, you're focusing just on the wrong reactions, people reacted both ways to both chapters!
  2. But this is normal human nature; people are rooting for Dumbledore and against Voldemort, and so disbelieve an anvil being dropped on Dumbledore and cheer when an anvil is dropped on Voldemort.

I believed 110, and then when 111 came out I was like "No, 110 and 111 are both mirror bullshit; there's no way it's a coincidence that they both get resounding, total victories after being reflected in the mirror." Aaaaand I'm wrong. EY keeps me guessing.

Me too. I did not doubt chapter 110 was veridical until chapter 111 ate my suspension of disbelief.
