Drolyt decided to pull this one and I agree -- it\'s not that \'\'HarryPotter\'\' has no PurpleProse, it is the fact that this passage is not accurately recalled. The {{natter}} is also probably correct with respect to the purpose of the prose style at that point.

* \\\'\\\'HarryPotter\\\'\\\' isn\\\'t immune to this. Probably the worst offender comes after Sirius\\\' death, when Harry is sitting in Dumbledore\\\'s office, and the narrator mentions that, \\\" the hole in Harry\\\'s chest had been filled with a weighty, writhing parasite\\\" to paraphrase. Yeah, he just lost his godfather ... but that makes it sound like he\\\'s being attacked by some kind of alien too.

On the other hand, a chunk of the \\\'\\\'Deathly Hallows\\\" chapter \\\"The Flaw In The Plan\\\", between the beginning of Harry and Voldemort\\\'s final duel and the very end, where Harry wanders to bed longing for a sandwich, is cringe-inducingly purple.
