![]() ![]() And Ron will get a few moments to shine.ĭue to the fact that Rowling has stated that she downplayed the physical abuse of Harry by the Dursleys, at the behest of publishers who had her alter earlier drafts, I have simply reinstated the obvious, which is apparent from the bits Rowling left intact. Likewise, the relationship between Harry and Ron in this fic will have its ups and its downs, much as it did in canon. Ron will be depicted in this fic with all of his canon faults, but also with all of his more positive canon traits (he's a decent bloke at heart, he was mostly a good friend for Harry, every once in a while he had a good idea, and he was brave after all). No doubt some folk will think my characterisation of Ron is "bashing," but frankly, it is based on Rowling's OWN portrayal of him. Nor will Hermione be doing stupid OoC things like falling for a goofball with a motor-mouth who doesn't really like her unless she's doing his homework, or going to a party with a gropey-rapey jock (McLaggen) just to make that same idiot jealous. A Hermione who once she learns to trust Harry's friendship and instincts, doesn't suddenly do inconsistent things like talking to McGonagall about suspicious broomsticks before discussing it with Harry, or stupid uncharacteristic things, like not believing Harry's all-too-credible deduction that a Son-of-a-Death-Eater, with serious Daddy-Issues, is very likely following in his father's DE footsteps. Likewise, in this fic, we'll see a more consistent-character!Hermione. Which isn't to say that Harry will be "Brainiac!Harry" who is a clone of Hermione - he will still have a more intuitive/visual style of intellect rather than a verbal/linear one, his memory will be normal - not eidetic, and he will still have a measure of impulsiveness, sassiness, and mildly judgmental attitude, all of which are strong features of Harry's core persona. ![]() In other words, again, a Harry who tends to have far more in common with Hermione in terms of goals, intellect, and basic outlook on life. And as such, we will also see a Harry who is more consistent in his behaviour regarding being very anti-bully, anti-bigot, anti-slavery, and very pro-fairness, not to mention being a fair bit smarter than he sometimes behaves when he's hanging around with Ron. and in any other scenes in the books which are most reflective of Harry's fundamentals) before Rowling started writing Harry with lines of thought and dialogue which sound more like they were originally written for Ron.Īs such, we see a Harry who is VERY interested in reading his schoolbooks, keen on learning everything there is to know about magic, and keen on doing his homework in a timely fashion - in other words, someone who has loads more in common with Hermione than Ron. see my Gandalf's Beard profile at for chapter citations. And by that, I mean the way Harry is described at the beginnings of the books (particularly in the beginnings of 1-3. The premise for this is "consistent-character!Harry Potter" based on his "Pre-Ron" characterisation.
