Yeah. I would act the same way if i was him.
His parents and one of his friends(Cedric) gets killed. I mean i would really mad at this also. He cant really do anything, he is ignored at the beginning of the book and i would be angry totally if i was in his situation. I mean. Think about it.

Of course he's angry.he has just spent cca 3 months with his ''lovely family'' while nobody told him nothing about voldemort,he didnt know what happens with his friends and where are they,his only company was his owl Confused dumbledore should contact him and give him infotmation about order or something,but nooo Rolling Eyes he left him waiting for 2 horrible months with dursleys.I completly understeand him.If I was he I'd be furious.

Exactly he doesnt know what to expect. He's been at his "lovely family" Rolling Eyes for 2 months and he doesnt know what to do. No contact, No Owls, nothing. And than once he finds out everything he gets furious with them all, thats what i would have been like. All of this is because of Dumbledore not letting him in on it. He is the Chosen One! He did fight Voldemort, i mean. Shouldnt he be in this two? He is the one to kill him. He has the scar. I mean, come on. Cant you give him some information!?

I was wondering the same thing, this is the book where Harry is angry at all. Talk about, throwing even Dumbledore's possessions Very Happy . But I will be really angry if i were in his shoes. Like he didi to Ron and Hermione...

Yeah it was like OMG, is that Harry? Good thing Dumbledore's got a very long patience, and with Hermione bossing around him? There is no reason why Harry shouldn't be angry.

but most people dont do that, they first say that its ridiculous to have a perfect hero who never complains, but the moment he does so he's the most annoying character in the book Rolling Eyes

exactly, people dont think, they just judge

it makes me sad really, harry is a good guy and everyone keeps saying he's annoying, it ends up being just like in the book, do you realize that? they sometimes love him, then they hate him

^ I agree.... if he was always perfect it would be a very boring story. His character is written realistly. No one is happy 24/7 without tons of prozac.

24 is for the hours in a day, 7 is for the days in the week.

24/7 means "always" or "all the time."

Ok yeah it seems like he snaps at everyone all the time in this book. I mean like hes angry at everything and anything the whole entire book. That's kinda what made it one of my least favorite books.


Yeah, that's totally true
It's the same way in the DH, where he's mad at Dumbledore 24/7

His attitude is well-reasoned if you ask me - he has been an outcast in his entire life, he has been getting marked for death ever since he was 1, and ever since he was 1 he would either face humiliation or anger, hatred. He would have to cope with people trying to decide between "is he the Chosen One" or "is he a show off", while all he would like is people being normal with him. It's absolutely well reasoned.

Although, terrifyingly immature.

Harry is going through all this and yes it's sad and it's annoying and it's all the fluffy things, but he keeps forgetting that he's not the only one that has problems. If you ask me, the greatest sort of pain in this world we live is to lose someone, and have it be your fault. This pain is unbearable; it's called guilt and it can often lead to suicide, something that Harry never even considered.

The person I'm speaking about has been trying for his entire life to build up something with a person he has been taught that is forbidden, and impure; he has spent his life trying to compete with someone that would eventually get what he wanted, and he would, ultimately, lose that person because of his own mistake. This is why I think that Harry, compared to the person I'm talking about, has been through nothing.

Hands down for Severus Snape.
