HP ~ What?

have I just missed a major part of the storyline or is there no reason to Harry Potter.
I mean we know harry's parents died to save him blah blah blah, and serius was a 'secret keeper' but changed to peter. But why did HP's parents have to have a secret keeper? I mean why did Voldermort want to kill his parents ~ have I missed something or just realised the biggest fault of the books.
It's been bugging me for ages and i hate harry potter so i thought i'd post this.

hoho..sorry mate..can't help you. I barely saw the first movie.
Thsi should be in a movie section though

Maybe we'll find out in the later books...

She's talking about the books, Dexx. They haven't filmed the plot she is talking about yet.

You know, Minxy, for someome who hates HP you seem to get into it rather a lot... don't be ashamed to admit that you like it...

Anyway, all we know is that Voldemort wanted the Potters dead. If there was a more specific reason other than them being his enemy we do not know it yet.

oh.. the books? Sorry...i'm even less documented

Yeh well if I hate something I need a good reason and this shows ~ not a very dramatic build up if she has thought of the plot.

As far as I know. Voldemort aka Tom Riddle was bringing people to his side. If they refused he killed them so they wouldn't cause trouble. The Potters refused. Thefore he killed them and tried to kill Harry, but that didn't work. That's just what I know.

as much as i enjoy reading the hp saga, there's too much good things happening to harry. it's almost like he never has to deal with tragedy, pain, and failure most of the time. it'd be nice if i could find out of the history/life of the malfoys and some of the other darker characters. like what's their deal. about draco, i'm guessing his father beats him and he just copies what he sees his father do. how sad if that were true. who knows? here's a good hp site about more details on the upcoming books and possibilties from author/rumors: The Harry Potter Network http://thehpn.rupture.net gtg ^.~ KaJi No ToRi NaOsU

I agree with Boprecruit 16. I would like to know more about the "darker" characters. Like Snape and the malfoys. Don't know why. I think he also has found out the reason why I hate the gryffindors. AlMost all of them are goody-goody-two-shoes and everything goes perfect for them unless there in potions class. Notice it wasn't a fellow gryffindor that died it was a hufflepuff.

Oh, well, it is obvious to anyone that Slytherin is the house for sensible people- they just seem to have a rather stupid crop during the time of the books. I cannot believe their founder was as crass as the dumb bullys we get in the film.

Slytherin house is the best anyhoo - coz evry1 in the other houses are just annoying.

Much is revealed in later books..... heheh(including Order of the Pheonix)
much about the history of Voldermort, his connection with harry, about harry's family, *his mom especially* and many suprises pop up... that actually connect many things...

cool, wish I had it.

May i ask how you know of this information Odin? And if there is a connection with his mother; wouldn't there be a connection with pertunia?

heheh well.. I have allready read the book.... awsome.... i was thinking of posting a spoiler thread..... but dunno....

Well, there are some sites that provide spoilers. As far as I know, there will be a major revelation about Harry's mom in the upcoming books. So that might clear up things.

IMO, though, it's not that strange Voldemort killed Jack and Lily Potter. I mean, he killed everyone, so why not?

Every knows Slytherin is the best house.

Gryffinshitz is to many good-two shoes
Ravenfreaks are to smart
Huffygeeks are just damn clumsy

Jack Potter? I though it was James. Oh well.

It is hard for me to believe that you actually think gryffndor is the worst house it is slytherin by far. They are rich kids that have everything you could ever need and all they can think to do is bully others.

If that isn't good enough for you how about this. The three main characters wich are Gryffyndors are of the lowest class of wizards. You have a poor one, a mudblood (which is supposed to be inferior, dobut it), and a kid who had no parents.

Not to mention the fact that others in their house like Neville who can't even get a simple charm right. And some one has the balls to say that good things only happen to them. Well duh, they are the ones that are actually trying to do good. Should Malfoy be rewarded for being a jerk all the time. Or his sidekicks for being croonies.

So next time try to think your comments all the way through before posting.

Gryffindor is a house for poncey proud arrogants. Slytherin just has a bad rep because it is for peole who want to get ahead ane necause there are a few numbskulls in it in Harry's time. Salazar himself could not have been Draco stupid, can he? Else he would never have been the great wizard he was.
