This is one of the chapters that stayed with me long after I’ve read it. It had that movie like quality that kept playing over and over in my head; fantastic action, spine-chilling torture scene, and climactic escape. Just awesome!
The aftermath showing Hermione shirking away from Harry as he reached for her was oh so heartbreaking. A moment ago they were as close as two people can get without actually being a couple, then this happened.
This is a much frightening Voldemort. He is not too arrogant to see that Harry is as powerful as him if not more. Was the dream and the attack a ploy to gauge Harry’s power or did he feed on Harry’s rage to break him down and lure him to the dark side?
I never really thought of Ron as dense, especially when you consider how he’s unbeatable in chess. He’s just a lazy and insensitive jerk most of the time. But not in here, he finally came to his own.
On a side note, one chapter in DH curiously mirrored some of the details in YoR`s torture scene. I had a case of déjà vu when I came upon that part. But, the DH scene had a much less than satisfying effect.
