Not in the world, but in the series. Here is my synopsis:

Oh yeah, it's kinda spoiler intensive, so if you have not yet read the books, you might not want to continue reading.

Hmm, wonder if this board has spoiler tags?

[hide]
Book 1. Killed a teacher at the the school he attended.

Arguments against: He was preventing the capture of the stone, and He was a dark wizard anyway.

Arguments for: If Harry did not persue the stone in the first place, it would not have needed prevent the capture!

Even if the enemy you are killing is evil, they should be held alive for questioning.

Book 4: Killed Cedric.

Arguments against: Harry did not kill Cedric, Voldemort killed Cedric.

Arguments for: Harry insisted Cedric on touching the cup with him, which led to Cedrics ultimate death. If Harry had taken the cup himself, Cedric, though losing the game, would have preserved his life.

Book 5: Killed his own godfather, Sirius Black, through ignoring superiors.

Arguments against: Harry did not know that Sirius Black was not in danger.

Arguments for: Dumbledore himself requested Occulmency lessons for Harry for his own benefit. First he refuses what the headmaster asks, then goes on to endanger the life of fellow students.

[note=truefusion]Fixed spoiler tag.[/note]

Nah, I think Harry Potter is just a normal wizard with nothing special about him. Only that he survived that curse because his MOM (not himself) protected him. This makes him very arrogant and feel special. It's this that makes him do stupid things because he thinks that he is invincible and above everyone else.

the spoiler tags are new tags and they are i believe

now onto my post:

Book1:
Harry may have wanted to get the stone, but as dumbledore said at the end of the book he said that someone who wanted to get the stone but not use it could get it and only them. So, essentally, he did not want to use it, he just wanted to get it to keep it out of the hands of voldemort, and make it more difficult for voldemort to come back even though he did in the end. but he will be dead soon (me hopes)

Book 4:
Harry did not know that the Cup was a portkey, he was just being a kind guy and basicly repaying cedric for all of the help that he has helped him with in the tasks, even though they basicly evenend out telling eachother how to figure out what the neddxt task was, or just straight up telling the other person. I am sure if he had known he would have had dumbledore touch the cup at the same time as harry instead of cedric, thay way dumbledore could have kept wormtail from bringing back voldemort! evil batard. hehe

Book5:
Yeah, there i can agree, he disobeyed a dirrect order and went to the ministry of magic anyways, and then sirius came to save him and fell behinf the veil, i myself believe that there is some way in the magical world to bring sirius back but then again, it is just a story and it can be changed any way... if you know what i mean.

Meh, all the cool characters are dying off...

On a completely unrelated note, you live about 3 miles from me.

i know, seriously she had better not kill harry off.. i will scream! although bad endings are awsome too.

well i haven't read them but i have heard he becomes a real brat in the later books, you can even see he is a real twit in the first few,

I agree with kkrizka! Harry Potter is just someone saved by his mother and that made him something special. I think that the whole thing about harry is not sufficient to make him such a special wizard. I read the books so that someone will not say that i haven't read all of the books. How he is made special, that bothers me - the writer told us yeah harry potter is something special. It was not in a way that we felt like he is something more. This is not OK imo and that makes harry not special in comparison to other "heroes" in other books...

As for the source of all evil, that is a very stupid sentence! He is by faaaaaar not that important to be the source of all evil. He is not a source of any evil acctually. People made him evil..he by himself is without any influence at all!

Oh really? That is indeed strange, because I was hoping he would be the next to die.

frankly, i dont really care who dies just give us an ending!! lol

I disagree with the thought that Harry is the source of all evil. But I do agree with Albus Dumbledore, here. I want that last book!

I've heard some people say the the whole thing would be a waste of time if Harry ended up dying in the end. But that's not true. He might have to die, he might not. Whatever happens is going to make sense and it's not going to take away from how great these books and the lessons in them are.

It's all going to come together and hopefully we all won't feel gypped (sp?) in the end.

I would like to see Sirius come back somehow. Forget Lily and James. haha.
