Grandparents Poa: Fill & Download for Free

Albus Dumbledore, as almost everything else, was nearly perfectly portrayed in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” as I think director Alfonso Cuaron really valued the lighter, warmer, eccentric, and mystically wise nature of Dumbledore than any of the other directors. A few highlights from PoA below:Telling the students that no matter how much darkness the Dementors bring, we only have to turn on the light within to combat them:Comments on the mystical nature of dreams (with beautifully directed backdrop)Saving Harry from falling to his death after Dementors arrive at a Quidditch match:Aloofly trolling Ron while giving sage insight into the situation w/Sirius:Discreetly telling Hermione to use the Time-Turner:Playfully teasing Harry and Hermione by pretending he has no idea what they’re talking about after they tell him they’ve saved Sirius: Richard Harris was too old to capture the above mentioned traits, though I think he did very well in “Sorcerer’s Stone”.He was struggling with throat cancer and near death while filming “Chamber of Secrets” so that was hardly his fault, and I do think he was absolutely brilliant in the Diary scene where you see him question Riddle and give him that piercing look while asking him if he(Riddle) wants to tell him anything:I felt like this was the Dumbledore who could see through Voldemort and always remain a step ahead of him.I loved how he phrased this question to Harry, but this time, it’s like a concerned, knowing, yet uncontrolling grandparent:He knows there’s something wrong, but lets Harry make the decision whether or not he wants to tell him.As for the rest…*sigh* Gambon’s performance in 4th-7th movies underwhelmed me. It just felt either…So unlike Dumbledore:So impotent:Or so uninterested: That dream scene in DH always struck me as particularly uninspired…right when we needed inspiration the most. *ugh*Now, to be very fair, I think two of Dumbledore’s greatest moments from the 4th to 7th movies actually came in GoF.First, when he tells Harry that difficult times lie ahead:And when he gives Cedric’s Eulogy.In fact, I’d say the Eulogy is one of his best moments throughout the entire movie series, and much more powerful than the speech in the book.I think Gambon was perfectly capable of being a good Dumbledore as PoA shows, but he just needed a great, enthusiastic director who could motivate him to bring those lovable Dumbledorian traits out instead of going too much by the book (Columbus) or too far away from them like Newell who made Dumbledore too unstable or Yates who made him too dull.Alfonsodore for life!

I've cut my brother out of my life.We were never close as children or adults. For most of his life he treated me and my family like we weren't related. He was never kind to me growing up. I tried to reach out over the years but gave up eventually.Our parents lived out of state and as they got older they began to have issues with memory. When I would visit, I sometimes noticed things had disappeared after my brother and his wife had visited --some of the missing items were things I had given my parents and some were family heirlooms. I knew he and his wife had taken these items. I asked him and he denied it, but he has a tell when he's lying, so I knew he had them. Later, a friend confirmed she had seen these items in his house.I let it go.As my parent's health continued to decline, the terms of their trust kicked in. My brother and I shared POA. Within a month of gaining POA my brother “borrowed “ $35,000 dollars out of my parent's account. By this time my mother needed expensive around the clock care and their funds were declining rapidly. When I asked him about the money he said he was running short of cash that month. He promised to pay it back but didn't.Meanwhile, he and his wife began trying to cause drama by gossiping and spreading lies about me-- which is what they often do when someone prevents them from getting what they want.I should mention that I suspect they both have gambling addiction. They make good money but have filed for bankruptcy at least twice and they seem to live at the casino.I learned that my brother and his wife drained my sister-in-law's mother's bank account in a similar way after they got POA, so I became concerned they were trying to do the same thing to my parents.I consulted an attorney. My attorney advised that I call Adult Protective Services after informing my brother he had broken the law by borrowing money from my parents who were considered to be vulnerable adults. After several warnings, I filed a report against my brother. Around this same time, my sister-in-law became verbally abusive and intimidating to my father so that a nurse working in his facility called protective services on her, as well.While my mother was on her deathbed my brother and wife drove to my parent's out of state home with a U-haul, and loaded up the rest of their valuables. Then he tried to swindle my dad by claiming an air conditioner repair was twice the actual cost.I called my brother the day our mom died to let him know, and he couldn't even be bothered to call back for three days. All he cared about was our parent's stuff.Shortly after our mother died, my brother removed another $25,000 from our father's account and I had to report him again! You would think he would have gotten the message the first 2 times that he was breaking the law.He paid back the original $35000 but not the $25000.Then he told our dad he wasn't allowed to visit him anymore because he had dementia. My dad was super upset about being diagnosed with dementia and couldn't understand why the doctor wouldn't let his son visit him. I checked with the state. They had put no limitations on my brother visiting my dad, but they let my brother know that if he stole from my dad a third time, he would be prosecuted.I finally had it. My brother is a liar and a thief and his wife is too. They don't care who they hurt. I want nothing to do with them. The entire family on my sister-in-law's side want nothing to do with them either because they did the same thing to her mom.I don't hate my brother but I dislike him and don't trust him. He displays several traits associated with BPD. I thought a long time before cutting him out of my life completely and I don’t think there is anything he can do to make me change my mind.

The PottersThis isn’t in the books, but J. K. Rowling wrote on Wizarding World that Harry’s paternal grandparents - I’m going off memory here but I think Fleamont is his grandfather’s name - died from dragon pox even before he was born, so they couldn’t possibly help raise Harry.The EvansesAgain, not in the books, but it is highly implied that they’re dead too. If they were alive, would they not be visiting the Dursleys frequently, just to see how their daughter and grandson are doing?Granted, Petunia might not want to talk about their visits (if any) since she remembers the preferential treatment they showed Lily, but we can’t expect Dudley to feel the same way. No doubt that Mr and Mrs Evan would act affectionately towards their grandson, partly out of love and partly out of regret for Petunia.Dudley would definitely enjoy telling Harry how many gifts and candies Grandpa and Grandma gave him, just to rub it in his face. Harry might be a hermit (he always stayed upstairs when the Dursleys had guests) but surely he can figure out that Dudley’s grandparents were his grandparents too. As the narrator of his story, would he not want to tell us this? Yet we see no acknowledgement of the Evanses’ existence from neither Dudley nor Harry.Remus LupinRemember the anti-werewolf legislation? It was enacted sometime around Remus’ graduation - as shown when Sirius said the law made it impossible for him to get a job. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus also talked about he grateful he was to Dumbledore for offering him a job in Hogwarts, when he had nowhere to turn to. This means that before PoA, Remus was struggling to feed even himself.Not a good candidate to raise Harry.Then again, I don’t think Dumbledore would send Harry to Remus even if he was well-off. Part of it is because of the Bond of Blood protection from Petunia, and partly because… well, you know[1][1][1][1] .Footnotes[1] Ming Liang Yew's answer to What do people think of Dumbledore?[1] Ming Liang Yew's answer to What do people think of Dumbledore?[1] Ming Liang Yew's answer to What do people think of Dumbledore?[1] Ming Liang Yew's answer to What do people think of Dumbledore?
