What Unpopular Thoughts Do You Have About Harry Potter?

Ah welp, lots of good answers. But theres something which most of you guys have missed:In the last book, when Harry reentered the Forbidden Forest and found out that the Snitch actually contained the Ressurection Stone beneath, he used the following code to open it:Im about to die.In my so very humble opinion, the movies portrayed that scene better.

Daniel Radcliffe was given this line:Im ready to die. Isnt that the perfect closure that made us love Harry all the more? Its not just about the fact that youre doing, its about accepting it that makes fans love him so.

The movies are better in this regard.Another reason why the movies are better (and Ill keep this one short):Book Harry: Albus Severus Potter you were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts, and one of them was probably the bravest man I ever knew.Movie Harry: Albus Severus Potter you were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts, and one of them was the bravest man I ever knew.

No Probably here. Harry was grateful for all that Snape did, and he was certain that he was the bravest man hed ever met

What are the reasons why couples break up after a long relationship?

A nice book that describes how and why relationship get wear&tear is 'Getting the love you want' by Harville Hendrix.

Regardless this book, I think a factor is you fall in love, get settled, have children, absorbing all your time managing a household and before you know you're ten years later and notice you were living rather ignoring each other as a person. So there you are, about 35, looking at each other; 'who were we again?'.

You may have alienated somewhat, developed each your own way. Can you reconnect? Same thing, even more, happens in the 'empty nest' stage, when the last child leaves home.

There you are, thirty years later, and now you are the two of you. Can you find a way to live these 'empty' days? This stage is relatively new.

For centuries one of the spouses died before reaching this stage, as there were more children and people died at a younger age. It also is influenced by no longer living together with grandparents (extended family). One of the parents sometimes tries to convince that last child to stay a little longer, (uncounsciously) knowing the risks of the empty nest.

All in all it's a new challenge brought by progress in the social-economical, demographic and medical field

Who has acted the best in Game of Thrones season 6 so far?

ALFIE ALLEN ALL THE WAY!I cannot understand how people oversee him and its just so frustrating.

His role and hard work in the show is just so underrated and under appreciated. Despite lots of people hating the Greyjoy story line or just hating Theon, they keep overseeing him and his talent. Alfie is by far one of the best actors in the show and he had to go through so much for his role.

Theons character development is so hard to play and act out. Through simple face expressions or his appearance or attitude, Alfie lets us see Theons thoughts and fears just through his eyes, which is insane!I think that he has understood his character completely and that he could portray everything from cockiness, to nudity, to Stockholm Syndrome, identity loss, pure fear, to hope and an entirely new character.

He has literally played three different characters in the show and could always change his attitude, voice or appearance for this new identify. The new Theon is way different than the old one and lots of actions lead to that if you are paying attention (e.g.

shrinking shoulders, bowed head, walking on the side of a staircase instead of in the middle). He is so underrated and I hope that he gets more recognition at the end of this series. He deserves an Emmy by now, but that is just my opinion

What are some good reasons I should vote for Joe Biden (and please donu2019t simply say he is not Donald Trump, give me actual policy reasons)?

OQ: What are some good reasons I should vote for Joe Biden (and please dont simply say he is not Donald Trump, give me actual policy reasons)?Lots of interesting answers here. So let me put it very simply:Biden wants the job.

Trump doesnt.Biden wants to do the work. Hes not fixated on playing the POTUS on a reality show, and hes not out for revenge on his predecessors.

Hes out to clean up the godawful mess this country is in right now.Hes after that job. Hes been after it way before Obama hurt Trumps feelings at that Presidential Roast in 2011.

Hes seen up close and personal what a crap job it is, and he still wants it. Thats a great reason to vote for him. Biden understands the issues.

Whats your issue? For me, its climate change - and Biden is gathering all the info and all the good ideas to formulate a plan. He knows windmills dont cause cancer, in other words.

His predecessor is already on record as appointing oil barons to head the EPA and rolling back protections on endangered species, and Biden has 4 years to a) not do that, and b) do something about the damage he has wrought. Thats another great reason to vote for him.But you do you

What is the best way to start practicing mindful meditation?

Actually our mind is in efforts for being a boss of us insisting that do it, which actually we do not wish to do in good sake of trueness of our responsibilities and we make our conscience in a concentration(br meditation) to hold the command it is main component of our spirit that is to say 'real we', it is a key point of our mental journey and here we definitely go as on one-self, for one-self & by one-self for one's mindfulness that is to hold our mind by just not being tamed by it !So definitely we need here a solitude with a deeply in concentration of our Conscience that bring us , when we are in meditation, in a state phisically, as we were in mother's foetus(head down, legs fold, to one's knees ) that is nothing but extreme meditation to search about 'real we'!Morning meditation is for concentration, and evening meditation is for cleaning our inside and filling the vacant thus produced with good energy which is present outside in continuous in flow and after getting hold on it , the process of bringing concentration in one's Conscience, one enters in extreme meditation here a mentor may enter in one's awakening in regard of para-1 !

So that's all think over it

Why is Ronda Rousey considered one of the best fighters of all time?

Ronda was America's first Olympic medalist in Judo. Very few judokas took their combat jujitsu to the level of Ronda.

She was true Savage & terrific submission artist in her prime. But in later part of her career she was certainly influenced by non good advices,it was her submission efficiency which made her living legend. But later on her coach Edmond Tarverdyan tried to make her a complete fighter & tried to shift her focus on boxing.

Under Edmond's tutor her boxing was not going anywhere & just like Conor McGregor her arrogance was prohibiting her from achieving excellence in boxing. (Even if you search 'worst Shadow boxing' on Google you will find Ronda in Top ten results)Edmond made her believe that she can out strike quality opponent's but right from the start of Ronda's career the greatest MMA analyzer Ambildhok Shantanu J predicted that she won't be able to survive against quality strikers if she keep the game in standing; that's exactly what happened eventually & she got demolished against Holy Home & Amanda Nunez. She was surrounded with wrong people, those people never advised her to take professional jujitsu competitions seriously.

If she would have started competing in professional grappling championships few years ago by today she would have been the richest fighter On the planet.

Ex-Hindus: Why did you convert from Hinduism or became an atheist?

Well, when I finally started seeing the hypocrisy in my own religion, my faith was lifted from it.

Everyone was like, oh, god will do this, hell do that, thank you for this, thank you for that. I realised soon enough that all of it was complete nonsense. if i wanted to be happy, Id have to work for it myself.

if i wanted to avoid pain, I would have to take care of myself, not leave it to someone else. I stopped believing, praying, and basically doing anything that was connected to god. Then there was the support from a few friends at school.

I was lucky enough to have friends who didnt criticise me for not believing in what they did. We had a lot of healthy debates over the existence of god, and most of the time the believers were the ones who quit at the end, which helped me even more. Then, of course, theres all the unfairness you can see in everyday life that also lifted my faith.

They say god treats all his creations equally. Then how come some people suffer so much, while some do not? how come some dogs die of starvation and some reject the best food?

How come some babies are born with such deformities? If god loves his creations, how come he lets then suffer? these questions basically lifted my faith from the stupid beliefs.

Why is learning idioms important?

Hasnt anyone noticed the similarity between idiom and idiot?The very idea of learning (viz, making a study of) idioms by an English language student is ridiculous to the core.

Idioms did not originate by some intellectual process but in spite of any intellectualor even logicalprocess, That is true for any language wanting to be newly acquired. Knowledge of idiomatic expression does not come by learning and compiling them as vocabulary, but instead be recognizing them as exceptions to normally requisite vocabulary, grammar, and syntax,Using the stock definition we are so fond of recitingAn idiom is a group of words or phrase that means otherwise than its literal meaningWould we then say that to strive to acquire the more important essence of the language we should dwell upon such facets of the language that require us to prioritize those elements which lead our learning in a direction away from an understanding of that language wanting to be spoken? Would that not be tantamount to learning not be first principles; but instead by third or forth principles or less?

Would it not be true to an appreciable degree to say that idioms reveal themselves to those well versed enough in the non-idiomatic to know an idiom for what it is when it presents itself. perhaps for poetry but not so much for prose!
