James and Lily were so smart and always being praised of their natural intelligence and talent but somehow they created a dunce like Harry who would have probably flunked out of Hogwarts if he hadn't got so much help and finally dropped out anyway??? How?????
Excuse you
Harry Potter did not ‘drop out’ of Hogwarts, he left because he had to do a little thing called saving the Wizarding World
He was qualified to take all the N.E.W.T level subjects he wanted to, he could have easily come back and finished if he had chosen to
He was the best at Defence Against the Dark Arts in his year
He received 5 Exceeds Expectations, 1 Outstanding, 1 Acceptable, ! Poor and 1 Dreadful. The Acceptable was for astronomy, which went badly because they witnessed a commotion on the grounds bc the ministry were trying to take Hagrid away, which led to Professor MCgonagall being stunned and Hagrid disappearing. His two favourite teachers were in danger and it was happening DURING the exam so it’s safe to say that it wasn’t very fair to expect him to do brilliantly. The Poor was for divination, which we all know was crap 90% of the time. And the Dreadful was for History of Magic where he collapsed in the middle of it.
So if you take all that into account, his results were pretty damn amazing
He was constantly faced with extremely high pressure, stressful and dangerous situations but almost always managed to think clearly and come up with unconventional ways of making it out alive
For example, having the sheer willpower to keep his eyes closed while a gigantic killer basilisk attacked him, figuring out that he had to destroy the diary to kill Riddle right after he almost died
AT THE AGE OF 12
I don’t know what you’re referring to when you say he got ‘so much help’???? If you consider the level of difficulty and danger involved in most of the things he did, he got hardly ANY help at all???
He had to solve all the ridiculous puzzles Dumbledore threw at him with hardly any info for example
Like figuring out how he was supposed to save Sirius and Buckbeak in PoA, figuring out that the hallows were real and that the elder wand was what Voldemort was after etc etc
He was able to cast a corporeal patronus at the age of THIRTEEN when it was a feat many older wizards couldn’t accomplish
Yeah what a ‘dunce’ lmao bye
