I thought it was that ALL of the horcruxes were updated to 2.0.
From the description of HPMOR's horcrux spell, it won't work unless a witch/wizard is killed.
Edit: didn't see Nornagest's post.
The prophecy was only heard by Severus and Minerva.
Yours isn't the first I've seen guessing that ; it makes more sense than it being any OTHER Death Eater's arm.
Of course women would be smarter about sexual "utopias" than men. I mean no offense, biologically women have to be less impulsive about that sort of thing.
Hell, it wasn't even considered committed in the 80s. Although I suppose different regions may have changed faster, in the South in the late 80s/early 90s, "going out" was what we said for "going steady", while "dating" implied a more casual relationship. (And the actual term 'dating' was rarely used - I remember being asked, "you guys messin'?" after a couple dates with a boy.)
So yes, true.
Her maiden canon name is Black, not completely arbitrary.
My head canon is that Riddle seduced his own DADA professor when he was a 6th year, so when he investigated Baba Yaga's death that narrative rang true to him.
Lucius said that his own Dark Mark didn't "truly bind [him]" since he was Imperiused. Voldy could prove that bit, but that might be revealing a bit much...
'it' in Quirrell's rant is the true name dealio, not the Maurauder's Map.
The story does feel like voldy saying 'when I was 16 I seduced a teacher, I bet that's how Baba Yaga died too.'
The Longbottoms were tortured into "insanity", but their canon appearance in St. Mungo's looks far more like brain damage from Cruciatus. And lots of Obliviates seem to cause brain damage as well. Breaking a FMC on Bertha Jorkins in book 4 ended up killing her.
I think that's more likely Quirrell actively casting that causes the anxiety.
Well some of it is faked, but he didn't intend to get caught drinking Unicorns.
But that's the first time Potter sees their magic interact, so what effect did Quirrell fake?
Perhaps this is how Potter will "be seen to once again defeat the Dark Lord"? (re: ch65-66)
I find it highly unlikely that he faked the Avada Kedavra/Patronus effect in Azkaban...
All of them, as this is the first time Q hasn't turned into his Snake form first...
On the first point : he can only be defeated by the Power He Knows Not!
On the contrary.
Voldemort can only be defeated by The Power He Knows: Nott!
Notice that Theodore Nott is right outside. He was (oddly) traveling with the Meddling Kids Squad.
Old comments, but I used to know the author and I feel I should pimp for her - pardon the pun.
My personal case study ahem, went down immediately then went up after a month; and I've known lots of people who only dated after they got on SSRIs. So the answer is, IT DEPENDS.
Also, the paper seemed not to differentiate enough between libido and "love" drive.
Hm. I looked up the source and it looks like most of the "proof" is due to a few case studies. Not that anyone's still reading this but just in case.
In Canon, Dumbledore gives Tom Riddle a few galleons to pay for his books and school supplies first year, saying there's a fund for that sort of thing. Basically implying the fund is only for books and school supplies, so tuition+room/board is free.
Point one: Snape originally stayed in love with Lily because of the lost chance. He actually did think he had a shot with her till he called her a mudblood, but Harry pointed out that in fact he never did. I mean some people fall in love and if their loved one dies, never date again, so I was assuming Snape's feelings were of that variety. He knew they weren't actually "dating" but he thought he'd had a chance before That Day. Now, Harry tells him "Sounds like this Guy never had a chance with that Girl ever, because she's shallow." So, ...
My interpretation was that Snape told the truth, but there was something else that he knows about the Mark that he STILL can't divulge.
Putting Arthur Weasley in charge of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, rather than an actual Muggleborn/halfblood, strikes me as incompetence of the highest order.
We even see that Minerva took top marks in her Muggle Studies class, but still thinks of herself as ignorant, and she happens to be fairly competent.
Right, Chapter 76 was mainly to verify that Harry was trustworthy.
I think EY's central point is something like: just because there's no built-in morality for the universe, doesn't mean there isn't built-in morality for humans. At the same time, that "moral sense" does need care and feeding, otherwise you get slavery - and thinking spanking your kids is right.
(But it's been a while since I've read the entire ME series, so I could have confused it with something else I've read.)
So the professor was playing Devil's Advocate, in other words? I'm not familiar with the "requirements" argument he's trying, but like a lot of people here, that's because I think philosophy classes tend to be a waste of time. For primarily the reasons you list in the first paragraph. I'm a consequentialist, myself.
Do you actually think you're having problems with understanding the Sequences, or just in comparing them with your Ethics classes?
This is pretty awesomely horrible, all right! ::applause::
I also think this is a good idea, and hereby vow to buy a membership when HPMoR is finished for this purpose of voting it for Best Novel. As pointed out, even being nominated would get it a lot more attention.
I'm hoping for something like Neil Gaiman had when he won and then they banned comics/graphic novels afterwards.
I used to read overcomingbias.com, a friend of mine often linked to it on Delicious, and I noticed I preferred EY's posts in general.
I got out of the habit after I caught up with all his posts in 2009 or so (before this site came to be), but someone linked to chapter 5 of HPMoR and I was all WAIT A MINUTE THIS SOUNDS BLOODY FAMILIAR.
You mean most people don't read the Sequences and go "Yeah, that's exactly right!"
Hmm.
I was a little creeped, but more because she would be forgetting it rather than because of consent issues. She was the one asking him, after all. And as a character moment, it was huge - his first kiss! The rope of his love for Lily is shredding all the more! Will anything keep him as an agent of the Light?
...and that Fanfic is now 50 Shades of Gray.
I was under the impression that the HPMoR story was to entice people to become "more rational", that is, get them to read more of the "day-job" stuff. There was also supposed to be an actual book on rationality, but it looks like that's been put on hold as well. Which to me seemed like a wise decision, since more people were being led to simply read the sequences via HPMoR already, so why bother with a book?
It's just fanfic terms: "shipping wars" are people who argued over, say, Harry/Hermione vs. Ron/Hermione, and "OT3" in that case would have been Harry/Hermione/Ron. (The original acronym was OTP=One True Pairing.)
Also, Harry really really doesn't want to kill ANYONE. He didn't even want to kill the nasty canon-style description of sadistic!Voldemort, for pete's sake.
Another way to look at this (link me if someone's said this already) is as repeated matches of the Prisoner's Dilemma. The winning strategy tends to be "Start nice then match what the other guy does." So if Harry's considering this Hermione/Draco thing as the beginning of Harry vs. Voldemort (prophecy baby wouldn't count to him), no one died, it's fairly obvious that no one was meant to die (well, after ten years Hermione might have been dead, but that wasn't a given, Bellatrix and others from the last war have survived a decade), so Harry can hang on to his "no killing yet" stance for now.
I thought it was funny. Because I'm not a Libertarian!
disclaimer: I am a libertarian.
Likely, he read F/G or Ron's mind.
Most likely 4...p>.9
Speaking as the middle of 5 kids - having a bunch of kids close to the same age like that can get expensive, and Molly didn't work.
I'm pretty sure that was Hermione.
