  1. Let's see... which is harder... changing the angle and shape of your eye by just a couple degrees OR doing EVERYTHING in the Harry Potter world...

    Shocky, I'm with you.

    No.

    Preforming eye surgery is an extremely difficult, delicate, and tricky task.

    To do it on yourself is even harder.

    (Eye surgery is NOT just changing the shape/angle of eyes. Take it from someone who has had it done.)

    Even current laser eye surgery carries numerous risks, and that is with highly scientific and calculated equipment. Most eye doctors will just use contacts or glasses to correct vision. Do you really think Harry would cut open a flap in his eye, remove delicate tissue in the perfect measurement and shape and close it again successfully on his first try? The kid couldn't even produce a good summoning charm for a long time, do you really think he could do something that difficult and drastic? No.

    How many times have I said this....

  2. So why don't these broom makers heal his eyes? And if does all that other junk then WHY CAN'T HE HEAL HIS EYES?!

     

    Different wizards specialize in different sorts of magic. Pretty much like talents and their jobs usually correspond to what they are best at. (usually)

    The only type of magic Harry is really good at is anything related to defense against the Dark Arts, such as offensive and defensive spells, and so he became a Dark Wizard hunter, not an optometrist. Broom makers focus on making brooms, not eye-related magic.

    The only person I can possibly speculate being able to work eye magic would be Madam Pomfrey, Hogwart's nurse. Seeing as she's had him in the hospital ward almost every year he was at school and never fixed his glasses, I don't think she can, because no one probably even thinks about it.

    And for goodness sakes, people today wear glasses all the time. We have eye-doctors, why do you think a great number of people still wear glasses?

  3. But if he can fly on a broom on Halloween then why can't he do a simple thing like that?

     

    ..Did you even read a thing I said?

    Magic is not a simple thing, period. It can take years to master particular spells, they vary greatly in difficulty. Considering eyes are so complex, magic dealing with them is completely insane. Eye magic would be even harder to master than little spells, and considering Harry fails at charms and healing spells, I doubt he would be able to do it even after practicing 80+ years: that is to say, if it can even be done (which we do not know for sure.)

    Flying on a broom is a skill like riding a bike: the magic is put into the broom by the manufacturers, the riders don't use any magic to actually use it.

  4. Also know that Harry couldn't do magic outside of school classrooms legally until he was 17, and by then he had much more pressing matters to deal with. (Although... considering how many times he lost his glasses...) Harry has always sucked at healing spells, so why would he take the time to learn a difficult spell(s) most likely limited to Healers and specialists. Eye magic would most likely be very precise and specific, not too many wizards' style of magic is like that anyway. Just think-- if anything went wrong (and spells do a lot if the wizard is not good enough in many ways) they would be blind for life. Do you think anyone is going to take that chance? He would have to get a very proficient wizard at any rate, and the only one he knew (besides Arthur Weasley of course) was Dumbledore; Dumbledore had more important things to attend to anyway.
  5. Drat. I haven't time to see Quantum of Solace anytime soon.

    *Fangirls alongside you*

     

     

    And sorry about the ride. And the deer. And you getting sick.

    What I always do in long drives is stare intently at one point really far off,

    and sooner than it seems you start daydreaming off, and then Poof.

    You're there.

     

  6. I volunteer LK to be the first one to go and follow out on her word.*

    I will go second, as not to be a hypocrite.

    *Dangit, she already is. >>

     

    um, I seldom go into the art forum, and when i do, I am bombarded by topics that make me think and encourage advanced brain functions. I am new to this, what do you call it, "thinking," game thing, so if you have any tips for me and other members who 'think' like me, please share

    i normally hang out in the comedies, where i am treated with 30+ posts for my 250 word brainpoops

    sometimes i go into the sets forum where i tell people that tahu is awsum and they should stop hating on his because their opinions suck

    but for some reason i cant figure out, when i go to the art forum there are some topics that confuse me, such as uncle k's stamina topic, or kanta's dissection topic and lk's human topic

    i don't like human bionicles because it is different and things i am not used to anger and confuse me, so i will post telling her that human bionicles "sux"

    i don't want to read all of uk's post so i will just look at the picture and give him a 8/10 because i dont like the subject matter/or i am confused about something in the piece

    kanta's topic is weird because there is only one part colored and all my doodlespictures are scribbledcolored

    like siriusly, posting is hard

    and so i am not going to

  7. I'm still searching for a job, but it's going to be tough since we live so far away from anything, and I really need monies. Maybe I should start doing commissions.
