C'è un buco di trama clamoroso, di cui mi sono accorta solo a quest'ennesima rilettura.
In ben due occasioni Harry fa i salti mortali per mettersi in contatto con Sirius, sfruttando il camino nell'ufficio della Umbridge: la prima volta per via del ricordo di Piton, la seconda invece dopo aver v ... (continue) - — Jul 6, 2009 | 4 feedbacks

Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.
"Dumbledore's man through and through, arent' you, Potter?"
"Yeah, I am," said Harry. "Glad we straightened that out."
"He accused me of being 'Dumbledore's man through and through'."

Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.
"Dumbledore's man through and through, arent' you, Potter?"
"Yeah, I am," said Harry. "Glad we straightened that out."
"He accused me of being 'Dumbledore's man through and through'."
"Hom very rude of him."
"I told him I was."
Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry.
"Where are you going?" Harry demanded.
"Yeah, I'm really going to tell you, because it's your business, Potter," sneered Malfoy. "You'd better hurry up, they'll be waiting for the Chosen Captain - the Boy Who Scored - whatever they call you these days."
"Then we have nothing more to say to each other."
"No, nothing," said Dumbledore, and a great sadness filled his face. "The time is long gone when I could frighten you with a burning wardrobe and force you to make repayment for your crimes. But I wish I could, Tom... I wish I could..."
"There is nothing to be feared from a body, Harry, any more than there is anything to be feared from the darkness. Lord Voldemort, who of course secretly fears both, disagrees. But once again he reveals his own lack of wisdom.
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."
"We're nearly there... I can Apparate us both back... don't worry..."
"I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you."
"But I got this far, didn't I?" he said slowly. "They thought I'd die in the attempt, but I'm here... and you're in my power... I'm the one with the wand... you're at my mercy..."
"No, Draco," said Dumbledore quietly. "It's my mercy, and not yours, that matters now."
But somebody else had spoken Snape's name, quite softly.
"Severus..."
The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.
"What do you mean, 'e was going to be married?"
Mrs Weasley raised her tear-strained face, looking startled.
"Well - only that -"
"You theenk Bill will not wish to marry me any more?" demanded Fleur. "You theenk, because of these bites, he will not love me?"
"No, that's not what I -"
"Because 'e will!" said Fleur, drawing herself up to her full height and throwing back her long mane of silver hair. "It would take more zan a werewolf to stop Bill loving me!"
"Well, yes, I'm sure," said Mrs Weasley, "but I thought perhaps - given how - how he -"
"You thought I would not weesh to marry him? Or per'aps, you 'oped?" said Fleur, her nostrils flaring. "What do I care how 'e looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave! And I shall do zat!" she added fiercely, pushing Mrs Weasley aside and snatching the ointment from her.
"He will only be gone from the school when none here are loyal to him," said Harry, smiling in spite of himself.
"My dear boy... even Dumbledore cannot return from the -"
"I am not saying he can. You wouldn't understand. But I've got nothing to tell you."
[...]
Scrimgeour turned a nasty purple colour highly reminiscent of Uncle Vernon.
"I see you are -"
"Dumbledore's man through and through," said Harry. "That's right."
