she had him take the Felix Felicis potion (a device which I *despised*) to acquire the required memory from Slughorn by simple brute-force GOOD LUCK.
Oh I know, I hated that too. What a cop out! Why didn't DD just brew a whole bunch of Felix Felicis, have the entire Order drink it, and skip merrily along to win the final battle against Voldemort. La-di-da, deus ex machina, ahoy! Although, why isn't Voldemort doing the same thing? Maybe then he wouldn't get accidentally thwarted by a schoolkid time and again. Why introduce this potion at all?
Otherwise it was all reaction, passively observing what everyon else was doing
Yeah, that's what I remember too. Along with his randomly hexing students in the hallways and not learning anything, HBP!Harry really didn't impress me.
