Didn't have time to read so still stuck on Harry Potter 3. There is a plot line in this book where Hermione says divination is bullshit and makes all the usual arguments. Y'know, predictions are intentionally vague, they dress up obvious/known things, they only come true because of the reaction to the prediction itself and so on. Which would be fair enough... if magic wasn't literally real in that world :marseyconfused2: Hermione, you are literally time traveling, why is it so hard to believe that it's possible to see glimpses of the future? 😭😭😭

Trelawney is confirmed to be a huckster though, at the end of the book she has what Dumbledore calls her second ever real prophecy, 99% of that shit is fake and Hermione's noticing. Now that I think about it, why did Dumbly knowingly hire a huckster to teach his students bullshit?

She is but that doesn't mean Hermione was being reasonable. It's called outcome independency, look it up :marseysmughips:

I think it's explained somewhere that he wanted to protect her because her first prophecy made her a target for big bad. I'll tell you if I remembered correctly when I get there :marseyreading:
