20 Idiotic Decisions Made By Characters In The Harry Potter Films

9. Why Is Harry Out Late Riding Trains When The Death Eaters Are After Him?

Harry had a narrow escape last year at the Ministry of Magic. He and his friends were nearly killed, his godfather Sirius died at the wand of Bellatrix Lestrange, and he was briefly possessed by Voldemort. On the upside, everyone knew that he was now telling the truth, and he€™s now The Chosen One (at least for The Half-Blood Prince). But now that Voldemort€™s return has been announced, his Death Eaters are out causing havoc in the Muggle world and kidnapping or killing wizards. It€™s all over the Daily Prophet. So why in the hell is Harry sitting alone in a Muggle coffee shop on the Underground when every Death Eater would like to collect him for delivery to the Dark Lord? He€™s reading the paper; he can€™t feign ignorance of what€™s happening - he€™s even flirting with the waitress, for god's sake. Dumbledore chides him for €œbeing reckless,€ but what he should have done is read him the riot act. Especially given how important Harry is to the fight against Voldemort.
