Harry Potter Moment of the Week (148)

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts and Lunar Rainbows Reviews. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
How Did Dean Thomas Add to the Overall Storyline?

Dean may not have destroyed a Horcrux or had a penchant for blowing stuff up like some of his other friends, but he was a loyal friend, a member of Dumbledore's Army, and an all-around nice guy. I think one of his most significant, and unintentional, lol, roles in the series was getting Harry to realize just how much he liked Ginny while she was dating Dean. XD

  1. Ha! I feel like that's his most significant contribution too! Ginny hooking up with Dean was THE main reason Harry finally clued in! Don't get me wrong, I love Dean and he has a lot of excellent qualities but he's pretty much defined by helping Harry and Ginny hook up LOL!

    1. LOLOL! Dean made a very significant contribution here, indeed! XD If it weren't for him, we would've had quite a different epilogue in DH!

  2. He played an important role then if he got Harry and Ginny together! Sometimes you just need a jump start! And also sometimes the regular person types play a role too, even if they're not the flashiest or most talented.

    1. That's so true for Dean! Harry definitely needed some motivation to finally confront his feelings, and Dean assisted with that, quite accidentally, lol.

  3. Yes! I love that Ginny chose Dean and I think a lot of it had to do with how relaxed and accepting he is. I think it speaks something of his character too that Harry still couldn't bring himself to hate him even though he was so jealous.

    1. That's a great point; it's really hard to dislike Dean, lol. He just got along with everyone, and I'm glad that Harry never let his jealousy mess with their friendship.
