Erm ... her parents do give her a hug. They throw themselves on her originally, then hug Harry and Ron. I'm sure that's true, I remember it.
You're right, my eyes just skipped over it.
Propechies are often like that in myths - if people didn't TRY to prevent them, they would never come true in the first place.
Okay, but then what CAN the characters do to make the prophecy untrue? It just goes around in circles.
Do GoF next. :)
No. :)
I re-read GoF recently for my own edification, without doing commentary, and man, it's a slog. I'm really not looking forward to it. My current plan is to do it as a lead-up to the movie release, as I did with PoA, so it'll be a while.
Doesn't prevent you from posting about it yourself, of course...
