I get where you're coming from. Of course, then the book would have been called 'Neville Longbottom's Guide To Awesomeness' rather than 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' and would not have been able to be contained to a single book.

Half-joke aside, yeah, that'd have been interesting, and a lot more entertaining than the trio out in the woods, but the books were more about Harry than they were the other characters or Hogworts itself, which meant that Harry had to be the POV character. There were only, what, two or three chapters in the entire series that weren't from his perspective, and them only at the start before Harry actually appeared, right?

Speaking of non-Harry POVs

Oh my god. I disliked a LOT of Book 6, but its opening chapter is my favorite damn thing in the entirety of the Harry Potter books. Muggle PM meets ex-Wizarding MoM FTW.

Doesn't Book 6 start with Snape and Narcissa plotting some evilness? I just remember because that was also probably one of my favourite parts of the series (and I love my head's Narcissa, because the movie version of her just... ugh).

Re: Speaking of non-Harry POVs

That's actually the second chapter of HPB; the first is what marshwiggledyke described. I loved both of those chapters, because they weren't from Harry's perspective. I mean, I know it's the Harry Potter series and all, but it was great to see something from a different, and more adult, view.

Re: Speaking of non-Harry POVs

I hated all the snogging in Book 6, but I ended up loving the book because of all the Pensieve scenes. All it was still kind of Harry's POV, it wasn't so centred in him. I love the series, but Harry was always far from being my favourite and it got worse and worse as he grew older...

I don't really remember the scene with the ministers, but now I feel sad for it because it does sounds brilliant.

Re: Speaking of non-Harry POVs

[marshwiggledyke.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! I managed to remember something. PARTY-TIME.

Re: Speaking of non-Harry POVs

Uhhh. Wow, I really have no idea. :\ I'm really not a Snape-fan or a Malfoy-family-fan, so I haven't gone back to reread his bits in ages.

I just liked the momentary glimpse of a world that's NOT the POV of a child/teenager for a moment, and the idea of wizarding politics and muggle politics intersecting struck me as a fascinating, fairly unexplored route. Like the idea of the Muggle world finding about about wizardry, The Missing Year of Harry Potter by Neville Longbottom, or ANYTHING discussed in this thread (http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/749402.html?thread=474543194#t474543194), that's the sort of ideas I'd really like to read about in my Harry Potter fic, and so often gets ignored.

/socio-political worldbuilding hard-on for fictional AU verses + Neville building a team for La Resistance

Wait, I can totally tell you how many chapters were non-Harry POV. There's the one at the beginning of PS/SS, the one at the beginning of GOF, two in HBP, and the Prince's Tale in DH. So at least five.

I remembered because I treasured them greatly
