Chamber of secrets?
A: FAIL. Harry has his nose rubbed repeatedly in the snake problems before doing anything, not to mention how much the bookstore scene reeked of a set-up.
B: FAIL. Harry uses a skill imparted by the voldeshard, a magic sword that is as literal a deus ex machina as possible given that it actually dropped out of nowhere onto his head, an enchanted object someone else made that summoned the sword without telling him about it, and someone else's magical pet. When it comes to researching things that could be petrifying people he sometimes keeps his prosthetic brain company in the library, or while she's brewing polyjuice potion.
C: addressed previously, short form is he does nothing until driven to the wall. Actually pulling the fang out of his arm and stabbing the diary is the only reason this entire episode is even worthy of debate, because he is doing that purely in the hope of saving Ginny's life when he's sure it's too late to matter to his.
D: Okay, yes, once the magical pet is done getting rid of it's most dangerous quality he manages to flail the deus ex machina into position and stab the damn snake, if only through luck. Likewise, the day is saved, in the end, but 50% is not a passing grade on the hero test.
- CD, suspects we're approaching the critical mass at which a thread collapses into a ball of black and blood red fire, that consumes all and leaves nought but desolation in its wake
