Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of Harry's biggest regrets. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:27 Cedric’s death. We didn’t get to know Cedric for a while in the story, and it took a few chapters with him in the fourth book to get a good idea of who he was. Cedric was a genuinely good person, and as readers we had a front seat to how close he and Harry grew. The deal was sealed when they helped each other out on the tasks. So when Cedric was killed, it dragged on Harry’s soul because he couldn’t stop it.· 9:53 Disliking Snape. From the beginning, Snape and Harry were enemies. Snape clearly hated Harry, and the two knew it. At the end of the story, we finally realize that that may have not been the case. Harry regrets his relationship with Snape so much because they only realized that they could have a good relationship a moment before Snape died, and Harry can never go back and make up.· Listen to episode 225 about how the Dursleys aren’t that bad here· 16:30 Making an enemy of Dudley. They were pitted against each other for their entire time together. Vernon and Petunia hated Harry, and that shed off onto Dudley. It took seven years for them to understand each other and for Dudley to break out of the prejudice brought on my his parents. When Harry parted from the Dursleys, Dudley realized that they could have been so much better friends than they had been. · 21:49 Dumbledore dying for nothing. This is a huge regret of Harry’s! The locket was a fake and the cave was completely unnecessary. They only realized that when it was too late and Dumbledore was already dead. He died in the best way possible with Snape killing him and getting into Voldemort’s good books, but he still could have had a few more weeks to teach Harry valuable lessons that could have given him the skills to win with fewer losses. What would Harry give for just one more hour with Dumbledore?· 26:33 All the people that died for him. There is no way to get around it. His friends, family, students, and people he never knew all withstood torture and gave their lives for his cause. It takes a certain kind of person to live through an ordeal like the Battle of Hogwarts, and everyone that didn’t weighs on Harry like nothing else. Having anything you want to hear or say?
