Ron is Dumbledore.
Holy crap, holy crap, holy -crap-!!
If he isn't, there had best be some fancy footwork by JKR, what with all this stacked up in the favor of that (admittedly nutty-sounding) idea. When I first saw the kicker in
ixchelmala &
lizardlaugh's theory, I was like, "!!! ...no" of course. But.
Now all I can think of is Ron's broken wand in CoS, and what a sadly underdeveloped unserious typical-boy wizard he is, and how quietly jealous he is of others' abilities and fame and so on, how overshadowed he feels by his brothers. Poor Ron, right, always in the sidelines.
It would be perfect. PERFECT. If Ron turned out to... well... be the greatest (and least serious!) wizard alive (even though the time-travel idea still hurts my head).
God, I love him. My mind is completely blown. Completely. I never read all the silly canon-predicting theories. I mean. Who cares, really. I'm not a plot-obsessed person, anyway, more into characterization. But. This has such -huge- consequences for characterization. It blows my mind.
Holy crap. Dumbledore really did refer to their relationship in the past tense in OoTP. "Had ever been", indeed. Gah. It was this that really clinched it for me. How else could you explain that? I just want to see someone explain that some other way, man. 'Cause otherwise-- DUDE. RON! If it's not true, it should be.
I always thought that Dumbledore's love for Harry was a little... much. Like. Why does he love him so much? Why? HOLY CRAP. And Dumbledore sees himself holding a pair of socks in Erised, and if socks symbolize mother-love, wah!! Omg. He-- omg, he must really have missed his mother. :((

Date: 2004-01-09 01:01 pm (UTC)Now I'll be all disappointed if it isn't true. Maybe that's why I don't get into the canon-prediction stuff in the first place, 'cause if you get attached to your "pet idea", it's not as fun to find out you're totally wrong, ahahah.
But I'm sure JKR has -something- earth-shaking up her sleeve, and since Harry has been explained away with the "prophecy" (of nothingness) & it's been all plugged up with a whimper rather than a bang, I mean. It has to be something other than Harry that brings that bang.
OMG!!
I CAN'T WAIT :D :D!!

But I agree. I think that Harry does have a few more suprised up his sleeves, but the people around him have more potenial than he realizes. Neville, I think, is going to come out and become a hero. *hearts Neville*

I'm a tad miffed at the fandom-wide love for Neville when it implies that this is somehow a replacement or a rewriting of the previous Harry-the-hero canon, y'know? Even if the secondary characters get developed, get special powers & meanings, they're still secondary characters.
This is still Harry's story, and in a way, it's always going to be Harry's fight in a very unique sense. Even though it's everyone's fight in a number of ways. It's just. Complicated~:)

Date: 2004-01-09 02:00 pm (UTC)I would love to see Harry kill Bellatrix, too, you know. Kill the bitch 'cause of what she did to Sirius, but I think Neville deserves that honour.
I don't care what happens in the next books...the squid could be Dumbledore for all I care. As long as Remus doesn't die, I'll be a happy, happy camper. *wibbles and tries not to think about JK saying there are more deaths to come*

Date: 2004-01-09 02:16 pm (UTC)But. I wouldn't rule it out, of course. It'd be at the very end though. But prolly not.
I don't see Harry, Ron, Remus or
Dumbledore will likely die. Probably more than one of the Weasleys. Several Gryffindors like Dean and Lavender and Luna or something. No, prolly not Luna.
FUCK I'LL HATE EVERYTHING IF DRACO DIES >:O
But he might. I'm torn on that. It seems... cruel & overkill, you know, 'cause he's so incompetent and basically harmless. Lucius prolly will. *sigh*
I will be most upset at Harry, Draco & Ron, and you can definitely see where my priorities are, can't you, ahahaha.
