I mean Dumbledore was the one who sen him on the mission the destroy all the horcruxs! And Harry was kind of shocked and angry when he heard the things that Dumbledore hadn't told him. He had learned so much from Dumbledore, had so many secrets with him that when Harry heard these rumors he believed them! And later in the book Harry starts to understand<br />Wait this isn't true Dumbledore made some mistakes when he was young but everyone does!<br />And even if Dumbledore hadn't given Harry the mission step by step he was only helping him grow as a wizard. And become a type of young DumbledoreAnouk Granditshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535576564745999291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853374659607094888.post-36721614594323272782012-02-14T13:40:29.393-08:002012-02-14T13:40:29.393-08:00Taylor: (I couldn't figure out how to reply to...Taylor: (I couldn't figure out how to reply to you specifically) It's not just Harry, it's EVERYONE who's critical. I personally thought that Harry was more of a supporter of Dumbledore, at least in some parts. He didn't want to believe that Dumbledore said the things that he said.Amanda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01071992924828071809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853374659607094888.post-22920931217717856582012-02-09T18:16:38.710-08:002012-02-09T18:16:38.710-08:00Well I suppose I can't really blame him for be...Well I suppose I can't really blame him for being critical. The entire time he's lived in the wizarding world he has held Dumbledore on a giant pedestal of "goodness" and what he believes is right. And then to discover that one of the few people you looked up to and loved had some dark past that stood against everything they fought for would be an insanely heavy load. Not to mention Harry has to worry about saving the world! I think Harry is definitely justified to be a bit angry and feel betrayed. I know I would, if I was put into his position. <br />And you must remember that in the end, when Harry grows up he realizes that Dumbledore has committed mistakes and he came to terms with that. You can see this because he even names his second child after him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853374659607094888.post-54304254807240497082012-02-08T17:11:08.299-08:002012-02-08T17:11:08.299-08:00That is true, but Harry just seems overly critical...That is true, but Harry just seems overly critical of Dumbledore in my opinion.TaylorParkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806956556090440375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853374659607094888.post-46782536497127223572012-02-08T16:48:44.172-08:002012-02-08T16:48:44.172-08:00I do.

Our choices--as in his to be for the Dark Arts. I suppose that becoming pro-muggle later on could repair that, but its always hard t let go of the past. Don't criticize Harry too much. He's an overstressed teen trying to deal with matters far greater than himself. Decisions are difficult.sophiewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625024540617624484noreply@blogger.com
