If Myrtle survives...wouldn't that change both Harry and Draco's future?

2025-08-18 00:23:21 +0000 UTCYes I do agree with you that love potions should be illegal. Here in the Muggle world we have GHB which is considered a date rape drug therefore a crime leading to prison time in our world. In summary I do think that after the Ministry was reformed love potions should have been deemed Unforgivable.

2025-08-17 18:48:44 +0000 UTCGood episode today Ben. No I don't think it would have made a difference if Tom Sr. would have stuck around because Voldemort was still conceived under the effects of a love potion so he would still be unable to feel or express love. Ben you made a good point about Hagrid seeing Dumbledore as a father figure. This makes me wonder what would happen if Voldemort viewed Slughorn in the same way. The reason I say that is because in my book Slughorn is a good example of Slytherin done right not Snape. Sorry to all the Snape fans out there but I just don't see it.

2025-08-17 16:08:41 +0000 UTCWhere is J?? I hope ๐ค๐ป heโs (& his familyโs) okay โฆ ๐ Also, Morpe is not a shining example of a good mother, either โฆ Ya know, the constantly r@Ping of Tom Riddle Sr.?? Because letโs face it, that IS basically what sheโs doing to him!! Which, in turns, begs the question of WHY ARE LOVE POTIONS EVEN LEGAL?!?! And, more importantly, why are Fred & George SELLING them as a JOKE in their joke shop?!?! โCause theyโre basically selling DATE R@PE DRUGS as a JOKE, imo!! ๐ณ And, I feel like Ben went SUPER fast there towards the end โฆ I really hope that everythingโs okay over at SCB HQ!! ๐ฅน Maybe he was a little nervous ๐ฌ about being alone for the Owlery?? ๐ค
