However, when he realized the kids were learning things, he took pride in being the one teaching them and began to 'plan out DA lessons in his head' as they went about their normal routines. I will say that he became very passionate about it and that if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have all gotten high marks on their O.W.L.'s or have been able to offer as much support in the battles that they did.Jaclyn Canadahttp://jcbookhaven.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-15596417707769866472015-03-02T13:21:31.973-06:002015-03-02T13:21:31.973-06:00:D Thanks so much for stopping by!:D Thanks so much for stopping by!Jaclyn Canadahttp://jcbookhaven.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-2274717209918654422015-03-02T13:21:12.908-06:002015-03-02T13:21:12.908-06:00Absolutely!Absolutely!Jaclyn Canadahttp://jcbookhaven.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-87993855488757361692015-03-02T13:12:06.106-06:002015-03-02T13:12:06.106-06:00Lockhart was so full of himself!!

Sky would like to argue with you over Harry, though. :) To sum up her opinion, she says Harry wouldn't have been so invested in Dumbledore's Army if it hadn't been a way for him to rebel. *ha*Bookworm Brandeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-30016876134888541952015-02-27T18:19:41.882-06:002015-02-27T18:19:41.882-06:00I agree!

I love how it not only bonded them against Umbridge, but that they learned so many valuable skills.

However, if she was the main character that was put in front of Voldemort as often as Harry, it would make you think she should have that real life experience that he has over her.Jaclyn Canadahttp://jcbookhaven.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-10938643958472231962015-02-27T00:50:57.021-06:002015-02-27T00:50:57.021-06:00totally agree with you Harry was the best teacher ...totally agree with you Harry was the best teacher for DA :)Alreem @ cachereads.comhttp://cachereads.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-75573391821175096462015-02-26T19:17:50.657-06:002015-02-26T19:17:50.657-06:00I can't believe I forgot about Harry, lol.

He taught all of Dumbledore's Army so, so much! And he got them all to be able to produce charms that were way beyond their year! Harry really did shape that gang into amazing witches and wizards and their skills became dead useful in later books.
