Nope, the classic fridging is: build up a female character and put her on a bit of a pedestal for feminine virtues (check, modulo the character's age, but it's unchanged canon so I can't blame EY), make her a love interest for the male lead (check and not canon), and then callously fridge her so as to motivate the male lead and give the antagonist a moral event horizon moment (check).
- loup-vaillant 13y agoYou know, I'm more worried about Harry crossing the moral even horizon right now. The antagonist already crossed it in my mind, when he crushed that blue beettle. Love interest not cannon? While in the end, Harry did end up with Ginny, I thought I recalled some hints something was possible with Hermione (from book 4, I think). I may be mistaken, though.
- JulianMorrison 13y agoJ.K. Rowling hinted at, and smashed it, pretty much hanging a lampshade off the point that "being a female sidekick of a male lead shouldn't mean automatically becoming his love interest".
- saraid216 13y agoSo does that make Lucius a prequel protagonist, given the previous war? (Trying not to spoil.)
