Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 34

I'm a bit curious how Colin Creevey got into hogwarts when all students are supposed to give a blood status, And he can't be half-blood, Cuz' he was attacked in harry's second year, Eh? ChazzJr 04:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Things are a bit confusing with the Creevey brothers. Colin, who would be 6th year in DH, and Dennis, who would be 4th year, are brothers; the fact that there are two of them from the same family seems to indicate that there is wizard blood in their background. I'll have to check. I don't actually think that the Basilisk cares about Blood status. Sure, Colin was attacked, and Justin Finch-Fletchley, who was Muggle-born, and Hermione. But so was Penelope Clearwater, who very likely was at least half-blood, and Harry himself is half-blood as well and the Basilisk certainly attacked him. And when Colin was attacked, he was found by teachers and taken to the Hospital Wing by teachers, so it may be less common knowledge that Creevey was attacked... or at least, it might not seem as immediate.

 * Note the write-up on Colin's character page: Colin sneaked back in with the DA, he did not actually attend Hogwarts that year. JKR has said that he was Muggle-born, or at least could not prove Blood status. Chazz (talk) 19:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Reason for Harry's death
Does not this analysis miss the vital reason for Harry to go to his death, whcih must be a real death- that he himself is a Horcrux?85.210.137.136 (discuss) 13:32, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but... we cover that more thoroughly elsewhere and don't need to rehash it here. Perhaps we should touch on it in the GP section, though... Chazz (talk) 22:05, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hiding his wand and cloak
As it is currently written the Greater Picture section says "Note that Harry carefully hides Draco Malfoy's captured wand under his shirt, along with the Invisibility Cloak. It is uncertain why he does this, if he was expecting to die". It then proceeds to offer possible explanations with the idea that Harry might have believed that there was still some secret part of Dumbledore's master plan that might somehow see him through the encounter with Voldemort alive. Yet it says in the book that Harry decides to hide the wand and cloak because he simply does not want to be tempted to fight back. This seems like a much simpler explanation. If he had even a small hope that he might somehow survive the encounter then I don't think he would have been able to truly become master of death. Would anyone else disagree?

 * A valid point. I'll check on that and add it to the write-up if the book is that explicit. Chazz (talk) 17:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
