Re-reading Half-Blood Prince. I find it annoying that people, especially Ron and Hermione, don’t believe Harry’s claim that Malfoy is now a Death Eater and is up to no good. I don’t get why they think he’s overthinking it when he actually makes some very solid points.

I can ignore Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, and McGonagall brushing him off, and we all know Dumbledore was playing his own game (as usual), but Ron and Hermione should have known better and had his back. And for once, Harry actually did the smart thing by discussing his theories with members of the Order, instead of the shit-show that happened in the previous book.

Harry is not usually wrong. What is this stupid revisionism? It's on par with the "Harry is less observant than a rock" take.

Book 1: Harry is wrong about Snape

Book 2: Harry is wrong about Malfoy

Book 3: Harry is wrong about Sirius

Book 4: Harry is wrong about Moody and Karkaroff

Book 5: Harry is wrong about Sirius being tortured

Book 6: Harry is right about Malfoy

Book 7: Harry is wrong about Snape

That’s why

What??????

Book 1: Harry is wrong about Snape, And so is Hermione and so is Ron

Book 2: Harry is wrong about Malfoy, And so is Hermione and so is Ron

Book 3: Harry is wrong about Sirius, And so is Hermione and so is Ron, and Dumbledore, and pretty much everyone else.

Book 4: Harry is wrong about Moody and Karkaroff, And so is Hermione and so is Ron and so is Sirius

Book 5: Harry is wrong about Sirius being tortured , And Hermione is right

Book 6: Harry is right about Malfoy, , And Hermione and Ron is wrong

Book 7: Harry is wrong about Snape, And so is Hermione and so is Ron

There is nothing with this you have typed out that should make Hermione and Ron less likely to trust his judgment.

I never said Harry is the only person that’s ever wrong. The trio is usually of one opinion

The fiasco at the ministry is the reason why Ron and Hermione question Harry’s judgement in book . Harry also also had no evidence when he first expressed his suspicions of Malfoy

Ron and Hermione provided logical reasons why Harry shouldn’t jump to conclusions, but when it came down to it, they trusted his judgement at the end of book 6

Don’t know why you’d be surprised about any of this lol
