In my opinion i would pick sometimes because if there is no other way in killing volemort harry will need anger to pull of the killing curse, and with his past experences he will be able to pull it off expesually if one of his friends dies.

I voted Sometimes as well.

He has definately shown an angry side. At times he is down right unreasonable and won't listen to anyone.

I know youv'e said that Harry will need anger to help pull of the killing curse but I don't think this is the case.

When Harry gets angry he looses control and I think and this is just my opinion and I could be wrong but I think to pull of the unforgivable curses you need to be completely in control.

I also think that Harry will not use any of the unforgivable curses and will destroy Voldermort in some other way - but thats another thread

He's had his towering tempers. So one can only say "Sometimes". Maybe he's becoming a little calmer and more deliberate, but you should admit that - in the height of puberty - he's jumping down everyone's throats. And that's what gets in the way of control and of occlumency/ legilimency for him. Again, this might develop for the better, but he'll always have an edge to him.

I agree with the fact that he sometimes has an angry side. although i can't help but wonder if he will actually kill Voldemort if it comes down to it. I bet he would its just that Harry doesn't seem like the person who would kill someone.

I don't really understand...but I think that Harry has both a collected calm side and an angry bad side. He will use whichever one is needed when the time comes, though he doesn't have the most control over his emotions...

If needed or provoked, I think Harry can whip out his bad side and use an unforgiveable, but not the Killing Curse. I don't think Harry is a murderer, not even to "kill" Voldemort. He would have to find another way, something nicer perhaps

Harry has an angry side and we've seen it plenty. I don't think Sectumpsentra would work if he was in a happy mood. If Harry wants to have some success in HP7 he will have to get a little angry and perhaps dabble in some dark magic. Deflecting spells and hiding behind things will only get you so far.

He also stayed angry with Ron for far too long. "Boys!"

I believe we saw Harry's angrier side in OOTP, because he feels confused and nobody tells him what is happening. Besides, it's the first time he uses a nonforgivable curse.

I think that if he has this angry temperament, but that doesn't mean he is evil.

xD

He isn't a bad guy. He won't get angre so fast. He also isn't a mollycoddle.

Than a just can take one thing. He is a middle TYP!

I voted sometimes, because he's able to use his angry sometimes, and sometimes not, case and point OotP, I rest my case.

I think that Harry has an angry side , I dunno about using the killing curse on anybody though (unless it's Voldie or Bella or a Death Eater) but look what he did in OOTP , he was deffinitly angered all throuhg-out the book !

Interesting, I think that Harry isn't really an angry person, but there are cases where his anger builds up inside of him and he can't control it. I have full faith in Harry and if he needed to perform the killing curse on Voldemort or one of the Death Eaters, I'm sure that he could. He has so much hate built up against the dark side. He could do it, he's strong enough!

I patently refuse to justify this question with an answer. Please re-ask the question by getting a dictionary and letting the literate members know what you actually mean when you use this word "carm." I would then be happy to join in the debate.

It would definetly be sometimes because when he gets angry he will shoot off an unforegivable curse like when he was facing Bellatrix after she had killed Sirius. He had used the Crucio curse because he hated her and had wanted to inflict pain but he is usually a very calm and quiet person.

hope ya know that calm is spelled wrong aahahha...i picked sometimes..i don't think he'll end up killing EVERYONE in his way...unless..he turns out to be an heir of slytherin...and destroys anything and everything...i hope JK isn't planning that LOL..that'd be sucha bummer to se harry end upa bad guy. AHHAA

Harry can be very angry and it can get in his way sometimes (ah hem book 5). but I mean I don't see him killing anyone who gets in his way. However, he will need that anger to kill of Voldy or Snape.

i don't think harry is capable to kill i mean i think he has a nasty temper but i don't think he can kill! i don't know how he will defeat voldy but it's all good

I agree. Anger definitely gets in Harry's way, but he's not an angry person all of the time. I also definitely don't see him just offing anyone who is in his way... but he does have tremendous anger towards Snape and Voldemart, and will need that anger to kill either one of them, if it happens.

Sometimes becuase hes usually alright and i dont see him killing just anyone who gets in the way but at times he goes mental and wont listen to anything anyone says

I voted sometimes...we've all seen Harry's angry side. If someone angers him or he finds out some bad information he will just completely hit the roof and not listen to anyone who tries to reason.
I think if someone kills someone he loves or something like that, he will seriously turn reckless and hurt anyone who gets in his way of finding the person who caused his pain. He may even behave this way to get to Snape in DH...

I think he ahs a good chance at getting very angry. I wouldn't blame him either. I'd be furious if all that happened to me. I'm surprised he's not a madman. But he can remain calm if her really wants to or is given the opportunity to. I don't know if he will be calm too much in book 7, but he'll definetly be angry at points i believe.

harry is kind hearted.. he only despises the evil.. and the people responsible for killing his parents

Why wouldnt he be angry, everyone he loves ends up dead. I think he will need to harness that anger to finish off Voldemort....after all if you perform an Unforgivable Curse you have to mean it.

we already know from book five and six that Harry can get very angry and i think in book seven he will end up channeling a lot of his anger through his spells during the war. he will be more powerful than anyone ever imagined because of his anger and determination to kill the man that has taken everything away from him.

I'm not sure that you can base a lot of Harry's outbursts on anger. I think Harry is more frustrated. He reacts to all the rubbish that is being put on him with frustration - he fights back. He reacts to the loss of people he loves with frustration - he smashes Dumbledore's possessions. He could very well get aggressive, depressed, moody, violent or psychopathic. He could burn down Hogsmead or Hogsworth Castle. What I am trying to say is that Harry does not react to all the pain in his life with anger that damages others. Most of his frustration is taken out on possessions.

Just like everyone else i agree with sometimes. Yeah Harry will have to have anger to kill LV, but i dout he will always have anger.

Harry definitely does have a fiery temper, but he is not an angry, cruel person who will "kill anyone who comes in his way."
Remember when he stopped Sirius and Lupin from killing Wormtail even though he betrayed his parents?
He is a kind person even if he is a confused teenage boy with a lot of baggage.
Anger has definitely affected him negatively but I agree with an earlier poster that he will need a lot of control and determination to defeat Voldemort, not just blind, thoughtless anger.
I vote "sometimes."
Honestly, a lot of times I just want to give him a big hug.

Im taking psychology, and just yesterday we learned about people with a dissorder where they kinda have like a slpit personallity, say on day they are nice and loving bob, but the next day they are mean and deadly jack. well im not saying that Harry has this dissorder, but when he does get mad i think to myself there is evil jack lol.

I agree that Harry has an angry side. Who can blame him. He has been dealt a terrible hand in life at the hands of LV. He should have been able to have a normal childhood, but LV changed all that when he decided to "fulfill the prophecy" and kill Harry. Instead of killing him, his parents are dead, he lived a miserable childhood at the hands of his relatives, and now must follow the quest laid before him in fulfilling the prophecy LV began. I know I'd be angry at first.

However, when the time comes, he is going to walk in with his head high and his anger at bay. He will be filled with love instead of anger and hatred. He's going to "kill him with kindness". Hee hee

I totally agree with you LittleRed7771. You read my thoughts

sometimes

kill anyone who gets in his way??then he should have killed hermy a long time ago because she nags him

Mod Edit:Although only minor, netspeak is not allowed on the forums. Please be more careful. Thanks

Yes, you have the same opinion as me! Obviously, someone was going to have to kill Voldemort in the end. We all assumed it would be Harry and it was, however Harry did not have to perform the killing curse. But I believe that if it was the only way to kill Voldemort, Harry would have used avada kedavra. He wouldn't have any other choice and I'm sure he would be able to do it. All he has to do is think of everyone who has been killed by Voldemort or in Voldemort's defence- Lily, James, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Cedric, Fred.

i do not think he is and i think that he is calm and collected when he is facing his enemies

Well he is a human being. Who can blame it for having an angry side ? Of course he's got one... He sometimes think of revenge, he's a bit obsessed sometimes...

I always thought that the only one Harry would ever try to use the Avada Kedavra curse on was Voldemort. There wasn't going to be anyone else he would use it on because even if he has this temper and yells, and gets angry and does all the things he does, he doesn't have that kind of hate necessary to use it, except towards Voldemort. He's very kind-hearted and he loves, like Dumbledore said so several times, and even though he hates Draco and Snape, it isn't that kind of hate as for killing, it's the kind of hate as for severely injuring.

I do know that Harry does have a lot of anger issues. The OOTP definently shows that he can lose his temper easily, yet I still seam to think that he would probably exercise himself enough to only kill like Voldemort. So I would have to go with sometimes, I don't see him killing anyone in his way, unless it was someone he hated with a passion and he wanted to kill already.

I think everybody has an angry side, so Harry has got it as well. But if he is capable of killing... Maybe he must in the end, but I don't think he will succeed very well.

Well, Harry can be down right angry alot. But That doesnt really make him want to kill anyone that gets in his way. I think that everybody in Harry Potter and the Outside world has a Angry side. Everyone can get Angry, We've seen this Happen to Hermione, Ron, and Alot of other people threw out the books. But Harry can Lose his temper very easy if you make him made, or if you get in his way. I dont really think he would want to kill anyone that got in his way. Its just the way he puts it, and the way we think..

yes he has, but most of the time he can contral it, siply because he is good. like he saved pettigrew etc.

I voted sometimes -- Harry has shown his angry side, but let's face it, he's got a lot to be angry about! He was an innocent kid who had his parents, godfather, and life ripped away because he stood in the way of another wizard's "immortality." Harry didn't ask for any of it, but had all kinds of awful things all dumped on him anyways. I think all things considering, he keeps a lid on his anger fairly well.

I voted sometimes because we have already seen in OotP that Harry has a temper, like for instance when he performed the crutiatus curse on Bellatrix Lestrange. It takes a lot of anger to torture someone even though you know it's going to earn you a one way ticket to Azkaban.

he has a very angry side bt i dnt think he wud kill or use the killing curse on voldy also harry used expelliarmus

Harry does have an angry side. We've seen it on many occasion. I don't think he is angry enough to just perform the killing curse just like that though. I believe he would have to be really pushed to the brink in order for him to do that. Like if someone really close to him was mortal danger or something. I think he would use the curse as a last resort.

Everyone does have an angry side. IN many occasions, Harry has allowed his anger to control him. For example, when Dumbledore prohibited Hermione and Ron from telling Harry anything about 12 Grimwauld place, Harry heard this and went into a rage where he yelled loudly. At the end of the fifth book when Sirius had died, Harry was controlled by his anger and destroyed many of Dumbledore's possessions.

Yes, Harry does have an angry side. But so does everyone else. He's just more up-front about it.

Who wouldn't be, though, in his situation, and with all the stress he has to deal with on a daily basis, it can definitly get hard.

At least he's not like Voldemort, though.

of course harry as an angry side i mean look at the stuff he's gone through , i would be suprised if he was out picking daises after a day of trying to stay alive, but all in all i dont think that he is angry enough to kill or he's a sucker & he will be pushed around. like in the 5th book when he tries to perform the cruciatus curse i believe on bellatrix after killing sirius. maybe he had the anger he just has to want to hurt her as much , like voldemort said , you have to mean the curse . he has an sngry side it all comes down to channeling that anger in the curse to hurt someone . but he doesnt do it for the heck of it like voldemort . he'll look at you bored & just say avada kedavra & you're dead . you see the difference?

& yes if we are going to refer to his anger as in yelling that just means he has a short temper due to the fact that he always has to live in the shadows & never can he seem to know anything. so i wouldnt blame him if he got andry that ron & hermione couldnt tell him anything . & well maybe it was uneccassary to destroy dumbledores possession , but he just witnessed his godfather die in fron of him . he's not going to go shopping for clothes to make him feel better . he does what he can to throw out his anger . its either break stuff or hurt people , which do you prefer?

Yes he does. And once in a while you will see him act upon it. In DH when he used the Cruciatus Curse on one of the Carrows in the Ravenclaw common room after Carrow spat at McGonagall. He was using pure anger. It's not always the best thing to act upon but in Harry's case his anger is never against the good guy and always against the bad guy. And what I mean by that isn't that he enver gets mad at his own side, but he never acts upon that anger against his own side. So does he have an angry side...yes. Does he use it against his friends...no.

All in all I'd say that he has an angry side but he makes sure that not only is it use properly but that he is using it on the right people. & I'm sure that he tries to always use it on the right occasion for the right reasons. But when angry you never really think straight So I must say that Harry is like any other person. That's my take, anyone else has thoughts?

I think he's angry sometimes, but not so much that he would be a mean person because of it. Harry is normally a pretty calm guy, but because he has emotional issues after being bullied for a long time, he can't handle his anger that well... He probably learned to sort of control his anger by the end of book seven, because he didn't try to kill Voldemort with the killing curse.

Harry definately gets angry enough sometimes to use the killing curse. When Bellatrix killed Sirius Black Harry snapped and almost used it to kill Bellatrix. I could definately see Harry getting that angry again especially if Ron or Hermione gets killed.

I've always thought Harry had an angry side. He lets his emotions get the most of him a little too often in a bad way. I can understand getting angry over certain things, but he acts rashly at times. Fortunately, his anger is put out on his enemies and not his friends. If it was his friends, I'd be a little worried.
