Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince-SPOILERS!!!!

[Fast Learner]

I kinda thought it might have been... was late and I was feeling lazy (got behind on the thread). No excuses, next time I check!

Percy

Does anyone think it's possible that Percy is the working for the Order of the Phoenix--he's basically their "inside man" for what the government is up to?

Or is he just a prat?!

I was thinking about all of the other Weasley family members, and he just seems so out of step with them. Of course, what makes me think that this is not the case is the strained relationship with his parents. But that could just be part of his "deep cover."

Don't do that! This t-shirt needs all the exposure it can get!

From what I remember Voldemort promised the giants and werewolves freedom and respect, something that other wizards have denied them. Of course Dumbledore has promised the same thing. Voldemort is using his promise to cause them to become evil and violent, while Dumbledore was trying to get the wizarding community simply accept them and recognize them as people with the same rights as other Beings. This is my breakdown of some of the characters by alignment.

Voldemort Murderous and nihilistic. Chaotic Evil
Lucius Malfoy Corrupt and power hungry. Lawful Evil
Minister of Magic Callous, shameless self-promoter, and Machiavellian. Lawful Neutral (with tendencies towards Evil)
Albus Dumbledore Kind, tolerant, laid back, dislikes bureaucracy, forgiving, disdainful of politics, freedom lover (hence his dislike of what the Ministry of Magic is doing), and wise.
Close to Exalted Chaotic Good

I don't see Voldemort as Chaotic Evil. I see him as more Lawful Evil, but who knows really? (Besides JKR, I mean!)

He doesn't really kill without a purpose. He kills any who oppose him, or who are beneath him (muggles, mudbloods). He expects his instructions to be followed to the letter (or he might kill the offender). Maybe he's Neutral Evil.

Lawful Evil in the long run seeks to dominate and control. Does Voldemort seek to dominate and control?

Neutral Evil in the long run seeks to become an unseen parasite. Feeding off of one host untill it dies, then latching an to another. Does Voldemort seek to simply feed off of others?

Chaotic Evil in the long run seeks to bring death and anarchy. Is Voldemort a murderous anarchist?

 

[DragonMan Ren]

Voldemort - Neutral Evil. He can use the system, or he can ignore the system - it's all about power for power's sake.
Dumbledore - Neutral Good. The establishment is fine, and working through it is fine, as long as it is doing what is right. If it is not, the establishment needs to be changed.
Percy - True Prat. (Seriously, Lawful Neutral.) Nobody betrays his mum and makes her cry as part of his cover. He's all about law and order for the sake of law and order.

Going back to an earlier topic, so very glad that Neville has finally found his focus, and begun his journey into the Hardcore.

I think it'll be something like Regulus Black. He will at some point realize the errors of his ways, but too late.

Yeah, that's great! It got posted a couple of pages back.

If you get your order in by Sunday, they ship the following Friday. It takes 5-7 business days to get their items once they ship.

Not to be a spoil sport, but what's amusing at that shirt in the least?
Is it spoiling the book for those that might not know? Was the book really a waste of "4 hours and $30"?

I don't get it.

I thought that initially, but there should have been hints of this in HBP, and there weren't.
