Yeah, right. Like the Beauxbatons girls would walk away when Harry approaches them. Like none of them would want to go to the ball with a celebrity.

It sure beats fighting with the foes all the time,
But I gotta do it, they always stay outta line.

They probably don't remember the hype when Harry survived cuz they were so little, so they probably don't care much

Well, Ron had heard of him in Philosopher's Stone. But he's English.

It's the end of the movie now. Here's a question. (spoilers)








Why didn't Barty Crouch Jr. just make Harry's pillow or something into a portkey? That would have saved a lot of trouble.

Easily the worst movie adaptation. Completely turned me off the next few movies for years.

Dumbledore had to lift the Hogwarts Magic to allow a portkey to work. Can't apparate on Hogwarts grounds and all.

That said, there's plenty of other issues in there. Hell of a lot of suspension of disbelief.

Ah. It's been too long since I've read the book. One day I'll reread the series.

Spoilers







They couldn't use Harry's pillow because:

#1. It'd get noticed pretty easily.

#2. The potion probably took time to make in any case. Polyjuice potion takes a long time to make -- just imagine how much 'bring me back to life' potion takes to make.

#3. Voldemort was planning on returning that night using that very portkey to get into Hogwarts. It makes for a better return to show up at the tri-wizard tournament, rather than show up in the middle of Gryffindor Tower.

#4. Harry Potter and the Pillow of Doom would be a very short book.

Ron wants Viktor Krum. That's why he's such an angsty little ***** the whole time.

If Colin Creevy, who is a year younger than Harry is his biggest fanboy, wouldn't the French girls who were 2-3 years older than Harry at the time know about him. Hell, you'd think plenty of girls who aren't muggleborn or Slytherin would want him.

It's the same reason Hermoine picks Ron. The same reason something happens to turn everyone against Harry even though he should be worshiped as a God. Same reason Bella Swan is designed to be average. It's so the majority of people can place themselves in their shoes and relate. In actuality, Harry would bang out every girl in school and his ego would become more massive with each one.

Oh come on, you're choosing Bella Swan to be the relatable character? Of every fictional character ever conceived, this is who you're going with?
