How Draco became the owner of the Elder Wand when he disarmed Dumbledore:(The Elder Wand Confusion)
Draco wasnt supposed to be there at the time of Dumbledore's Death or at least, he wasnt supposed to beat Dumbledore-Draco BEAT Dumbledore because he disarmed him and took him by SURPRISE. Snape killed Dumbledore but he didnt become the Elder Wand's Owner bcoz it was almost a suicide from Dumbledore's part. He has allowed Snape to do it. hE HAD PLANNED IT WITH sNAPE. Snape didnt Beat Him....Draco used his own wand at that time and Now also he uses his own wand (Till Harry Disarmed him at Malfoy Manor)---The WAND is not what matters yaar---Its the OWNER who matters....Harry beat the OWNER of the Elder Wand by Disarming him(Draco) and so he became the new owner of the Elder Wand which Voldemort had extracted from Dumbledore's Tomb. Ok lets say--Remember how Dumbledore became the owner of the Elder Wand---He BEAT Grindewald and he won the ownership and Grindelwald GAVE the wand to him...The Elder Wand never works against its owner, so when Voldy used it on Harry- it backfired on Voldemort himself
and then how come Harry enters Voldemort's thoughts but Voldy doesnt use him---Harry always did that from Book 5 he cud understand what Voldy was doing especially when Voldemort expressed his only feeling ANGER and Fury. Harry CANNOT control it. He never was able to learn Occlumency. He couldnt stop himself from doing it. and then WHY Voldemort didnt USE harry---Voldemort once used Harry and that resulted in his existance becoming public to the wizarding world which was not part of his plan. he feared using Harry---it is mentioned that he feared doing it again....
Dumbledore PULLED down from his high esteem--Good lord why are we being so ignorant!!!😭
My respect for Dumbledore has bounded many times more after this book..Till now he was this larger than life, always the saint-like Character who was never wrong, and with this book---as I said earlier, it has been made clear-NO MAN IS BORN GREAT-HE IS MADE GREAT.
N Dumbledore is the Greatest of all Wizards in history---For:
He dreamt of Changing the world for good. In that effort he was unable to give the same dedication to looking aftre his family-whom he loved a lot. But as he ays-He wanted fame and glory- He wanted to be known the man who chaged the world-the man who used his extraordinary BRILLIANCE for the good of all. He wanted the Hallows---But he wasnt Voldemort or Grindelwald--He wanted to use it not to establish himself over everyone else---He wanted to use it for the good of the people. He wanted to HELP them not destroy them. He planned it all all the way- He knew each n every person's character and he knew whom to trust and not to. Fcae it--This was all Dumbledore's game..from the beginning he had a picture perfect figure of what is gonna happen! He is just miraculously brilliant a man He feared his own brilliance after Ariana's death. Just think abt it---He was unable to fulfill his responsibility as a brother, n who knows he himself is unsure from whose wand came the curse which killed his sis, it could have been himself! Just think abt what he must have felt what he must have suffered---he HATED himself for all this! He knew his restrictios and limitations. He feared his own brilliance and he refused the post of Minister of Magic and cobfessed power cannot be trusted in his hands--He SAID THIS TO HARRY! N then he tries to bring back his family using the Resurrection Stone---"I got Carried away Severus"....He wanted his family back..cant u see the weeping heart of a man who had lost all?!!!😭 He says that he was a fool, he had learnt nothing after so many years...He proved the power of LOVE---The Strength of the same Love he had been talking of from the beginning! N he proved that he is just like you, me Harry--just like a common man who had feelings and emotions and weeped over his own mistakes and loved his lost loved ones toooo much.
- n then=---HE CONFESSED ALL THIS TO Harry. He hid none of this form him. If he wanted he could have. He says that he hates himself, he says that he was a fool, he says that Aberforth was a much better man that himself-HE ACCEPTED THAT. He understood his selfishness and that is what makes ALbus Dumbledore the greatest of Wizards and the best of men to have ever lived! N still u say he was brought down from what we loved him for?😭
hOW WAS dUMBLEDORE "DEFENDING" HIMSELF. HE WAS SAYING HE WAS WRONG, HE WAS SELFISH N STUFF...hOW WAS HE DEFENDING HIMSELF. yOU FELT HIM TO BE "defending" coz you felt he was right, you felt he was as great as u had always known hm to be. It was all happening in Harry's mind. Whatever doubts Harry had in his mind...Deep down in ur heart, the answers too all questions are hidden....Those doubts were cleared..Harry ws REALISING it!
I started loving Albus Dumbledore more than anything else after I read the chapter "King's Cross"!
I thought the twist n the chapter King's Cross was fabulous..as I said..Harry knw the answers deep down in his heart..BUT WE DONT KNOW IT YAAR!!! N Harry was clearing his own doubts while out own doubts were being cleared...The man with all the right answers has always been DUMBLEDORE from the beginning itself..so why should Rowling change it at the end!!!?? Why not ake the greatest of Wizards itself answer it all?😉 N then he Harry a train back to conciousness! N just the last tine in the chapter when Harry asks if its all real...Dumbledore says "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?" 😉
at the end..James Potter jr...he is just like harry's dad...it was just for fun though I agree that I too found the epilogue mushy and unwanted...only I loved it when harry says "Albus Severus"👏
You explained the 'elder band' confusion so well!! And I think I agree too. I was under the impression that the wand has to be taken and not the owner just "defeated or overpowered".
About Dumbledore…
He maybe great for all the reasons you have recounted and there is no denying them…I think I preferred him when he was saint like and someone who had a perfect vision of what was going on and what would happen and what had to be done. Maybe like Harry I was in awe and was disappointed that his perfect image started to crack up. Was it necessary to turn him into a human with flaws and fears??? Maybe yes for you and to JK Rowling, but I was sad that it had to be…. Call me a romantic!!
Yes, King Cross is about Harry coming in terms with his feeling about Dumbledore and realizing the stuff you have been telling us…. (the word 'defend' and 'angel' is carelessly used). What I have tried to say is that in this book so many characters have suddenly turned out to be so unlike what we thought they were. Snape, for one, had only one thing going for him and that was that Dumbledore trusted him. Other than that we all hated him for the way he treated Harry in school and doubted him for his loyalty. That point had to be cleared and was done so well. And the second was Dumbledore… who suddenly turned out to be human!! Maybe it is the 'kahani main twist', but I felt sad that dumbledore turned out to be so different from what we had been led to believe in the first 6 books….. for me the contrast is stark... the bad boy has our sympathy and the saint turns out to be a (great !!) human after all.
