Chapter Fourteen: The Thief
In chapter fourteen of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry sees Voldemort torturing Gregorovitch, Ron’s missing some flesh without even dieting, and I discuss the best wizarding career to guarantee you live to old age.
(Please be advised that this is a reread and I will be discussing book and movie spoilers.)
Okay y’all, prepare yourself because it’s time for some CAMPING! Yes, maybe the least popular/most controversial part of this book after the Epilogue. We’ll talk about my thoughts on it later more, but I do have them. Oh yes, I do.
Ron’s splinched himself which Harry and I both thought sounded way funnier in previous books, and even sadder then Ron’s missing flesh it’s possible Kreacher was grabbed by Death Eaters since Yaxley saw number 12 and now can get inside. Thank Merlin’s pants Hermione is there, part one million, because she thinks on her feet and gets our trio to safety in a random wood, fixes Ron’s wound, and has her magical beaded bag all ready to go with everything (aside from food, oh dear.)
Ron has decided the trio shouldn’t say Voldy’s name out of respect, and while he did technically save their asses with this move it’s weird and I have trouble believing Harry would be okay with this. Might I suggest instead of calling him You-Know-Who which shows some deferation, to call him Lord Wotsis or whatever Uncle V called him? Just a series of increasingly absurd nicknames to shit on Mr. Overcompensating Anagram?
Good news though, their hideout might be compromised and Ron might be missing a chunk of his arm but Hermione’s got the Horcrux! Okay good news over because Voldemort’s got Gregorovitch in his chilly paws and Harry sees what Voldz sees: that some damn sassy teenager stole something from Gregorovitch. Just saying but before Voldemort came into power 2.0, the career to go into was definitely wandmaker, right? Both Ollivander and Gregorovitch are old as hell, and it seems tons of wizards like the Potters and the Black died at the ripe old age of like, fifty for some reason. (I can’t be the only one who’s noticed that tons of parents die young in these books!? And they can do magic!) Well, good news, now there’s an opening for a new wandmaker!

Why does Harry agree to not say Voldemort’s name, and do you buy this reason?
What name would you call Lord V?
What would your magical career be?
