How Much of a Dork Am I?

I have been wasting spending some time this lazy Saturday morning reading various reactions to the last Harry Potter book at Beyond Hogwarts. I enjoy reading the comments to see what other people thought of the book (I thought it was brilliant).

I came across this:

And one more thing: what was up with dead Snape? Finally Harry likes him and trusts him, and BAAAM! Now he's dead. That is so sad! oh well. But I liked Snape from the beginning.
And the scene at King's Cross with Dumbledore is probably going to be a Potter Puppet Pals episode.. naked Harry carrying on a conversation with Dumbledore....

But how did Harry come back to life? Only the possesser of the Hallows can overcome death, and Harry was only the true possesser of the Cloak, that's it. The wand belonged to Malfoy, and the Stone... I'm not sure who it belonged to but it wasn't Harry!


My immediate thought went something like this:

"Duh!!

First off, Harry was naked at Kings Cross UNTIL he thought about needing clothes. Clothes magically appeared, so he was NOT naked when he's talking to Dumbledore.

Furthermore, Harry DID possess all the Hallows--the cloak was, obviously, his for years. He had beat Malfoy earlier in the book, therefore making him the master of the Elder Wand (and this is how he eventually defeated Voldemort). And Dumbledore willed Harry the stone--it was hidden in the Golden Snitch!

Really...DUH!!! Read slower!"

Then I thought that maybe, just maybe, I know a little too much about Harry Potter.

Hey, there are worse things to know a lot about. It’s not our fault Harry Potter is so full of win. :)
