Mmmhmmm. Or even Harry, Ron, and Hermione in different houses. That honestly would’ve made sense, too. Like, idk, one way to really make me worry Harry might have more in common with Voldemort than he wants or actually give him a challenge could be to either make him a Slytherin or give him Slytherin friends.
Idk I have a lot of thoughts about how backloaded everything is. Perhaps it was because the older Harry got the more he was supposed to realize not everything was black and white, but a lot of it feels like she suddenly realized she had made everything black and white and needed to fix that. All that nuance that could’ve been was lost because the good guys were good and the bad guys were bad until suddenly it needed to not be that way.
Idk. I have a lot of rambly thoughts about how things could’ve been done. I was never into HP that much, so idk if reading it as a kid and growing up with the books changes things but it probably does. It’s probably enough for 14 year olds but not me.
