Harry Potter

[Sweeney]

Yeah, 7 should be the last book. Anything after that would be overkill, and probably unnecessary.

[candyb3ar]

it has been stated that the 7th will be the FINAL installment of the series, i believe 2 people will be killed off, but your gonna have to read to find out whom...:D

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

shld be worldwide, but the days will differ by one or two. (cuz if different country system)

nah, like for example the 4th movie... SG got in around september rite?? i checked it out n it was on the 6th of December in Africa

[Thelindra]

i guess.....maybe is more up to date XD

Africa have it bad >_>;

[[ M ]]

[ Yeah, from what I heard, 7 is the final book. Any more than that is gonna be kidna... dissapointing - unless of course the 7th book leaves like 500 things unanswered. Which would suck. ]
[ -dances- I know who's gonna die! -sing song voice- ]
[ Actually, I don't. Although I think I've got some decent guesses ]

[zaffy04]

if there was an 8th book then harry potter would be too old

[[ M ]]

if there was an 8th book then harry potter would be too old


[ Well it'd be out of school obviously (considering I believe Harry's dropping his last year anyway or something like that) - and either the aftermath of the war or the final conclusion of the war. ]

[Mercurius]

NO, Rowling clearly stated that the 7th book will be the final...and she also more or less made clear that...she'd get rid of enough people to not make any spin-off afterwards.

[Sweeney]

I heard somewhere that three important people were going to die in this book. Anyone else hear this?

[candyb3ar]

NO, Rowling clearly stated that the 7th book will be the final...and she also more or less made clear that...she'd get rid of enough people to not make any spin-off afterwards.

hehe...like HARRY..:o....and adam there will only be 2 dying...:)

[Thelindra]

I heard somewhere that three important people were going to die in this book. Anyone else hear this?
nope, its only two i guess...

/me prays for wormtail to die

[Sweeney]

Only two? Why do I get the feeling you know who they are?

[Jeem]

Why do I get the feeling it will once again be the characters I like the most. *sigh* regardless, I'm looking forward to the next book simply so I can find out what happens; this series just isn't something I can' see through, lol.

[Rihaku]

If you don't like Deathly Hallows then just write fanfiction.

[Thelindra]

Only two? Why do I get the feeling you know who they are?
women's instincts...:p

More than 2 is gonna die if they hold a BIG WORLDWIDE battle like in the muggle world or smth liek that.

[Xkavanger]

OOoo... that would be AWSOME!!

and then the Muggles will come out and bring their torches and burn them at stake o_O

LOL.... Muggles VS Wizardry World
There's another thought >_>

[Sweeney]

^ Wizards would have to win that fight. I mean, honestly, what could the Muggles do?

[Xkavanger]

Burn? lol.. true... what is a wizard's weakness?
If you take away their wands... what would they do then?

You can burn a wand right?

[Jeem]

We've all seen Monty Python...never underestimate the power of a large amount of peasants, scales, and DUCKS.

[Xkavanger]

LMAO!!! and which Monty Python is this?
There are many out there... >_>

[Sweeney]

^ Pft, Harry could just spell the ducks away.

@ Xkavenger: How would the muggles get the wands away?? It'd be impossible

[Xkavanger]

^ Hmmm... don't ask me that... I was hoping you wouldn't T.T
That IS impossible... well unless you're Ron... you wouldn't be tricked easily lol

"Here Ron... want some money?" ehehehehe
tricking him would be a piece of crackers

Just call me Kava =D

[Thelindra]

lol, u guys are thinking too far. Besides wizards without their wands will "cast" uncontrolled spells....=P

[Xkavanger]

Yesh... =_="
I still say BURN EM AT STAKE!!
No wait... wasn't there like something that Harry once read about the history and stuffs and he laughed at the fact that Witches and Wizards that were being burned alive laughed as they were overcome by the tickling sensation of the flames or something like that >_>
I dunno lol

[Thelindra]

yes, perform a simple frezzing charm or smth like that XD

and go "OW~~Hot~~HOt~~hmm.....actually its kinda cold, u sure this is real fire?" :p

[Xkavanger]

LMAO!!

"you muggles dunno fire when you see/feel it" LMAO, "pfft, amateurs"

[Thelindra]

btw do u think that dark magic users are badies and light magic users are good people?

Somehow i feel that the dark arts need not be evil. Its just how they use it. And who say Light cant be used for evil? =/

[Xkavanger]

I like the Dark Arts... its like a powerful type of magic....
I don't see them as baddies either... its just stupid that it is potrayed as 'bad and evil'

[Ronin36]

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but HP7 comes out July 21 this year. It is official that 2 characters will die. And for anyone who is wondering about who's going to play the crackpot umbridge, it's the british actress Imelda Staunton (see pic below)

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/movie_pix/oscars/77th_academy_awards_red_carpet_arrivals_photos/imelda_staunton/oscars.jpg

[Xkavanger]

She's not fat enough =0
No offence.. but Umbridge is supposed to be massive X)

[Sweeney]

Eh, I can see her in the role. Maybe she gained a lot of weight before shooting XD

[Xkavanger]

I hope so, her face certainly suits the role... NO OFFENCE!!
I'm sure they tried to make her look strange... fat and all lol

[silverwolf801]

Man I think that she fits. But i don't see the meanist in her eyes

[Sweeney]

^Well, she wasnt acting in that shot. Looks like she was being fake happy for a red carpet or something

[Xkavanger]

Nope... but I reckon she can give a steely look.. she's freaky enough X)

[silverwolf801]

o yea the due date for the book is: read:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070201/ap_en_ot/people_rowling

[Thelindra]

She's not fat enough =0
No offence.. but Umbridge is supposed to be massive X)
heh, and my impression of her is thin and mean XD

still, looks pretty okie.

The Potter franchise is so important to the company's earnings that it announced the publication to the London Stock Exchange.

Bloomsbury shares were up 2.2 percent to $4.40 after the announcement.
Rich X_X

[Xkavanger]

Rich X_X
Is that all its good for? Money?
J.K. is surely better than that T.T

[Thelindra]

theres nth wrong being rich =/

if i am not wrong, JK does do good with her money.

[Xkavanger]

She does? =\

OOoo Okays then...

There's nth wrong with being rich ^ ^

[Guy]

Hey, looks like this is a place to talk about Harry Potter. What does everyone think of Snape?

[Xkavanger]

I HATE HIS GUTTS!!
He killed someone >.>
and I hate his greasy hair ewwwwss!!

[silverwolf801]

Snape you traitor how could he

[Thelindra]

snape is the most special character i ever seen in books.

Hes can be good and bad, and i pity him and hate him at the same time XD

[Xkavanger]

Yes! They don't make characters like him =\
He is so different to many bad guys... he had pretended to be an ally of Dumblydoor for many years!

[Guy]

Wow, I thought Snape was the coolest character in the whole book. He's malicious machinations outsmarted even Dumbledore!

[Thelindra]

nah, its not even confirm that if he had outsmarted dumby or not.

this is the most special part about him JK made him. One moment u go "Grr i hate this slime ball", than after a few chapters u said "He got a good reason for that, i pity him", than all of us end up pulling our hairs deciding if hes good or bad XD

[Kenken]

i hate jk >_<

because of her we can't decide whether snape is goody or baddy

[Guy]

I think Snape is evil. Didn't Dumbledore said his mistakes were far greater? I think that hints that trusting Snape was a bad idea.

[Thelindra]

but that if all these was a plot my dumby himself, making himself get killed? so that snape can get closer to voldy and kill him once and for all~!























(hopefully XD)

[Guy]

Hmm... damn, that's a good theory. However, I thought Voldy could read minds?

[Kenken]

but that won't work until all the horcruzes are destroyed first ... so maybe dumby, with his death, wants to give snpe the chance to find the other horcruzes through voldy himself :o

[Thelindra]

yea that one way of doing it., but who knows JK may come up with better plans than us XD

voldy can read minds, but snape is quite resistant to it cuz hes an expert at prevernting so called mind reading.

[Kenken]

is called legiminlis (or something like that) and occlumency

[Xkavanger]

I just everyone to DIE!!
But I want Cedric back to life!

[Thelindra]

u know thats impossible kava =/ if that is possible harry will bring his parents back to life first.

yup, kenshin got the term correct.^^b (their speling baffled me X_X

[Ronin36]

I think that Snape will feel bad for what he did, and in the end, he will help Harry and Dumble (I hope) finish Voldy. Then, he will continue to serve Dumble as before.

[Guy]

But Dumbledore's dead! I think Snape will be the ultimate challenge for Harry. Oh yeah, I think the seventh book will be a huge book, since Harry will have to kill off all the remaining Death Eaters and Voldemort himself.

[Thelindra]

JK does not need to describe each death eater deaths in detail, maybe all harry fights are a few main Death eaters+snape+voldy, and other shall be kill by the Order.

[Guy]

Oh yeah, that be cool. And Voldemort CAN be killed, right?

[Xkavanger]

I will KILL JK if the book was thin!!
All that waiting and hoping and thinking... goes down teh drain Dx<

[Guy]

Lol, anyone know when the last book will come out? I can imagine everyone storming to the bookstore to get it...

[Xkavanger]

If I can recall what Theli told me.. its the 21st of July...
and the movie is on the 13th/17th

[Guy]

Oh, wtf? In July? I can't wait that long! Grr... oh well, the last book better be big and entertaining, or else I'd be very mad...

[Xkavanger]

Exactly my point of view too...
Its not a matter of wha we want in this book.. its a matter of what it is...

July is my b'day =D
the book comes out 4 days before it =)

[Thelindra]

nice one kava, u can request it as a bay gift.^^b

[Xkavanger]

Ask JK herself? :o
I would be thrilled.. I dunno.. worse than thrilled... I'd faint!! X3
LOL... I'd love it as an early bday gift =3

[Guy]

Lol, what do you guys think will be in the last book? (besides Voldemort's death, of course)

[Xkavanger]

All the Horcruxes will be destroyed.. or smth like that.. I'm sure they gotta find them all tho =\

[Guy]

What are Horcruxes again? Sorry, I forgot.

[Xkavanger]

You're asking me??
Hmm.. My Harry Potter Encyclopedia brain had been put on the shelf for quite a while now.. its become dusty... so I too have forgotten.. I just keep hearing about it T.T

[Guy]

Oh, well, can somebody who does know answer that? Who else do you think will die in this next book?

[Xkavanger]

My list of (predicted) deaths

- Bellatrix LeStrange
- Harry Potter
- Ginny Weasley
- Sasuke Uchiha
- Dumbledore again
- Snape
- Voldy
- Ginny Weasley again
- Draco's daddy
And that's all I made up...
I mean.. think of >.>

[Thelindra]

What are Horcruxes again? Sorry, I forgot.
they are parts of Mr.Voldy-chan soul ^^

[Xkavanger]

Oh yeah!! Isn't Harry's scar a horcrux?

[Thelindra]

not really, there wasnt a hard evidence, but there are ppl speculating abt it ^^

[Guy]

Lol, thanks, Thelindra.

Kava, why is sasuke on your list?

[analog]

I think Hagrid will die in #7 as well. Commenting on your list kava, I don't see Ginny dieing. It has been confirmed dumbledore will somehow be back in some form so what that will be will be interesting(so he could die again :P). I could see the whole Harry dieing thing go either way, I could see him die, but then again I could see why he wouldn't die. I do like how they announced a hot line will be set up for people to call about the book if they are feeling sad or depressed :P

[Xkavanger]

Guy - Lol.. Was hoping no one would read that :rolleye09

Theli - Hmmm.. are you srs?
But wasn't there a Horcrux mentioned in the 6th?
Like they figured out what one was or smth =\
I can't remember T.T

Edit:
Analog - LOL... But Ginny is a great target!
I want her to die more than once and with great pain.. pain that would make Harry regret that he dumped her :p
Nah but still... its not like I cared that he did =3

[Guy]

Oh yeah, Hagrid might die. I can see that.

[Thelindra]

Hargrid might be too small a role to die XD (but we will never know eh?)

come to think of it Kava....yea i semi remembered abt that ...=/

@Analog: u became taicho =O

[Xkavanger]

Yeah.. I knew I wasn't imagining it XD
Hagrid dying would actually mean a lot, coz he has always been with Harry even before 1st year =\

[analog]

@lindra yeah....

The one they mentioned knowing about was its believed that the horcrux stolen by RAB(Regulas Black??) was the (i think) "locket" they found that they couldn't open in the Black house when they were cleaning. I know they couldn't find anyway to open it, even with magic, so its believed that was one. Plus they think there might be one where Harry's parents were killed(Godric's Hollow)

[Thelindra]

does a locket need a key? o.o;

Mugglenet provides lots of this kind of creepy hints X_X

everytime i read one up i go back reading the book again.

[Xkavanger]

Ohhhhh!! Speaking of The Black's Family House... What happened to it again?

[analog]

Yeah this summer I reread the books a few times, I even know have the audio books which I sometimes will just let play in the background of whatever I am doing hen all of a sudden I will be like, what!! OMG!! lol :P

Mugglenet is awesome I have to say.

Well the black house is currently in Harry's possession, other then that nothing really happened other then he sent Kreacher to Hogwarts. A key is not needed, it seemed to be sealed by magic but they didn't know what to do with it.

[Guy]

I don't like Kreacher... that elf scares me.

[Ronin36]

LOL... But Ginny is a great target!
I want her to die more than once and with great pain.. pain that would make Harry regret that he dumped her :p

When did that happen? (too long since I read the 6th book) I thought Harry just said he was sorry that he hadn't dated her earlier. Not that he was breaking up with her. I was speculating that if Harry didn't die he would end up with Ginny. ;_;

[adorkable]

Lol. I always thought that the Ginny-Harry relationship was still up in the air at the end of the sixth book. Because Harry wanted to break up with Ginny so that she would not be exposed to danger, but Ginny said something like she wanted to stay by him.

(Too long since I've read the book as well... But this is what I vaguely (sp?) remember.)

[analog]

At the end of the 6th book Harry told Ginny that he was sorry and he couldn't go out with her anymore. He didn't want to put her in danger and give voldemort a target. I believe after Ginny said something along the lines "but maybe I don't care, you never asked me."(Or something like that) But then Harry walked away I think and went to talk to Ron/Hermione.

[Thelindra]

^so does this mean shes still in danger? I think voldy knows abt this already =/

[Ronin36]

could be like spiderman

[Guy]

Damn it, is Ginny still in love with Harry or not?

[Xkavanger]

I was speculating that if Harry didn't die he would end up with Ginny. ;_;
Lets hope not T.T
Well the black house is currently in Harry's possession, other then that nothing really happened other then he sent Kreacher to Hogwarts. A key is not needed, it seemed to be sealed by magic but they didn't know what to do with it.
Oh yeah!!! And If I remember right… didn’t Harry leave Buckbeak there?
Or did they leave the house empty and quiet?

I soooo can’t remember T.T

I deteste Kreacher and I’m thinking that there will be a little more about him.. not too much but a little…
I think all the characters will join in this one somehow..

[Thelindra]

buckbeak is with hagrid.....

given Buckbeak's personlity, i think he wun mind tanking a few spells or so XD

[Xkavanger]

Tanking? o.O

I think you meant Taking lol

But I don't get what you're trying to say T.T

Yesh, Hagrid has Buckbeak, but what about the spells? x__X"?

[Thelindra]

sry ^^;

in gaming terms, tanking means taking hits

and since bucky is so attached to hagrid, wun he defend hagrid when hes attack by voldy's company?

[Kenken]

let's just hope harry dies and ginny kills herslef juliet-style :)


hagrid? he can take any number of spells as long as it isn't abra cadabra... wait.. it isn't spelled like that >_>

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

not really, like the stunning spell can even take a dragon down (in book 4) if the target was hit repeatedly....

i cant remember the spell, havent read HP for like 1 year.... stunfey or sumthing??

[Thelindra]

that stunning spell to a draogn cna only work when hit in the eye if i remember correctly.

As for Hagrid, haven giant blood makes him have higher magic resistant ^^b

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

no, thats confundous spell or sumthing.. its the part where hagrid wana see the dragons that were kept in the forest and charlie was there and they all stunned the dragons....

[Thelindra]

*thinks*

oh yea~ need a lot of stunners to make it work XD

maybe they shld try the under belly of dragons next time....

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

lol, thats a turtle... dragons have scales at their belly too rite??? O.o

[adorkable]

Rofl.

Change of topic. =P

If you attended Hogwarts which house would you most likely be in? Or would you want to be in?

[Kenken]

stony... the weak point of any dragons in any mystical story would be their belly, because that's the only part where there are no scales... really you should read more about dragons >_>

in harry potter, there's this spell which you sent it to the dragon eyes, i forgot the effects, but i think is supposed to keep the dragon away from you for some time

[Guy]

Wait, does ginny still love harry or not?

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

stony... the weak point of any dragons in any mystical story would be their belly

not really, unless u read book all under the same author... if every dragon had their bellies as their weak points they wont be fantastic anymore... they will be like more of a snail...

mmm... i dont mind being in any house actually

[Kenken]

it is because any attack to their scales would usually do no harm

oh, so you don't mind being in slytherin? (i think that;s how you spell it >_>)

[Guy]

I think I'd be in either ravenclaw or slytherine, lol.

[analog]

Wait, does ginny still love harry or not?
Yeah I am pretty sure. I think so at least.

I think I would be in slytherin, I am evil :P

[Guy]

Lol, just thought it was weird, cuz Ron once said, "Ginny USED to fancy Harry." Now in the sixth book... ginny fancies harry yet again...

[Kenken]

ginny always fancied harry, it's just that hermione told her to go out with other ppl, and give harry time, so yeah

[Xkavanger]

If you attended Hogwarts which house would you most likely be in? Or would you want to be in?
Hufflepuff.. coz I'm very loyal =D



OOooo btw Ken... its Avada Kedavra

[Ronin36]

I'm not sure I'd want to be in it, but I would probably get sorted into Ravenclaw for being smart.

Btw, the stunning spell from earlier is Stupefy methinks.

[Cheryl]

@adorkable's question: I joined a Harry Potter RP forum before, and I was sorted into Hufflepuff. :P 'cus I'm most like those sort of people I guess...

[Guy]

Lol, anyone else here hate HarryxCho? There romance was boring and stupid from the start, and guess what? They broke up in the fifth book! OMG, WTF? What a waste of time and paper. Cho contributed nothing big to the story. Damn, I hate cho.

[adorkable]

Hahaha. Yeah, I find their relationship (alteast what was their relationship) complete nonsense as well. I reckon Cho never really liked Harry anyway. She seems like that type of person... or too hung up on Cedric's death.

[Guy]

Yeah, Cho was just using Harry as a replacement for Cedric! Unforgivable. Remember how she pressured Harry into being like Cedric in the bar? God, I hate her, what a whore.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

lol.. i agree too...

it was useless... at least ginnyxharry had some uses.. ginny did help in the book.. unlike cho...

[adorkable]

Rofl. I remember now (still can't remember every detail from the books... lol... Really need to read them all again). In the films she seems innocent - atleast in the fourth flim. I wonder what she will be like in the next one. And I'm also guessing that people are hyped up for the kiss that happens between her and Harry - more support for Cho? :O

[Guy]

Lol, no, because movie watchers will know at the end of the movie that their whole relationship was pointless and be furious, like me.

[adorkable]

Meh, she isn't even important in the sixth book anyway. I wonder if she will play any significant role in the last book. Although I highly doubt that...

[Guy]

Dude, Cho's name was mentioned only once (or twice) in the sixth book! What was JK thinking? JK shouldn't even have put Cho in the Harry Potter series at all!

[adorkable]

Lmao. Ok, I sense your hatred for her.

MOVING ON.

Hermione x Ron.
What's going to happen between them?

[Guy]

Err... hard to tell. Sometimes they act like couples, but sometimes they don't. They argue a lot, but some couples do that... don't know. Time will tell.

[Neko Toku]

My friend is obsessed with Harry Potter. I just love to tease her about it. *evil smirk*

[Guy]

Lol, really? You don't like Harry Potter?

[Thelindra]

hermyXronny= suitable couple

harryXcho= filler romance

^^b

[Guy]

HarryxCho: More like pointless piece of crap romance...

[Ronin36]

RonxHerm: They're obviously gonna get together. It's obvious both in the books and the movies. Like when they get scared and hold each other.

HarryxCho: idk, sure it seemed pointless, but it was realistic. There's always that one girl that you REALLY like, and then you go and ask her out and she tells you she's already got a BF. In this case the BF is just dead. It taught Harry about premature relationships. Cho actually helped build Harry's character. (sorry this was written from a guy's point of view. I don't know if this holds true for girls.)

[Guy]

I'm a guy, and I don't see how it build Harry's character...

[adorkable]

HarryxCho: idk, sure it seemed pointless, but it was realistic. There's always that one girl that you REALLY like, and then you go and ask her out and she tells you she's already got a BF. In this case the BF is just dead. It taught Harry about premature relationships. Cho actually helped build Harry's character. (sorry this was written from a guy's point of view. I don't know if this holds true for girls.)
Agreed. I reckon that because this is the first time Harry actually likes someone in "that" way, we see how he changes while interacting with others. It teaches him about relationships with others as well - and builds his character, although she may have acted like a whore later on in the series towards him and others.

Meh, we might not see her in the last book anyway, as the sixth year for Harry was her last year. :)

[Guy]

Harry doesn't need any of Cho's influence when he goes up against Voldemort...

[zaffy04]

Of course he doesnt he never needed it in the first place

[Xkavanger]

I don't support the HarryXCho nor do/had I support(ed) HarryXGinny

I find her pitiful, yes, I despise her, more than that, I loathe her.

[adorkable]

I don't support the HarryXCho nor do/had I support(ed) HarryXGinny

I find her pitiful, yes, I despise her, more than that, I loathe her.
Are you talking about Ginny? Or Cho?

[Xkavanger]

I'm talking about Ginny... if it wasn't for her, the Chamber of Secrets wouldn't have been opened >_>

[Guy]

Then there wouldn't be a second book...

[Xkavanger]

*has been barred*

Yes, but imagine if she never had o_O
Then they could really 'follow the butterflies'

[adorkable]

Well, it wasn't entirely her fault. She was being possessed by Tom Riddle afterall.

[Xkavanger]

Also, not to mention that Malfoy had dropped it into her cauldron in the beginning

Does everyone here like Ginny?

[adorkable]

Lolz.

Well, she isn't a favourite, but I don't dislike her.

I like her more than other characters atleast. =\

[Guy]

I don't really care about Ginny. I just wish she makes up her mind about Harry.

[Mercurius]

In the Movies...ginny is BLERGH...in the Books she is YAY

[Wanderweiss]

Lets just hope by the time the sixth movie comes out Ginny will be attractive enough to make the scene with Daniel-teh-smex a good one. :O

So, who here's pre-ordered Deathly Hallows?!

[adorkable]

She's not that unattractive!

>.>

lol. Oh well.

Nah, I haven't preordered the book. I'll probably just buy it when they're on sale, because I think some copies will still be available. If not, I'll just wait - I don't even know if you can buy Harry Potter books in this country... I haven't seen one decent bookstore.

[davidn15]

yeah i'll just buy it the day it comes out. I won't stand outside a store all night, but that's more because my mom wouldn't let me anyway. I'll make sure to get it that day though. Hey adorkable u live in Vietnam right? Yeah u probably will have some trouble finding it then

[Wanderweiss]

The cost of the book is going to be 30+ dollars, you can get it at Amazon now for 18. So much cheaper!!

[adorkable]

yeah i'll just buy it the day it comes out. I won't stand outside a store all night, but that's more because my mom wouldn't let me anyway. I'll make sure to get it that day though. Hey adorkable u live in Vietnam right? Yeah u probably will have some trouble finding it then
Yeah, I live there. I'm not sure, but are the Harry Potter books translated into Vietnamese? I remember hearing that somewhere, but I really can't remember... Hmm...

The cost of the book is going to be 30+ dollars, you can get it at Amazon now for 18. So much cheaper!!
Whoa! Were the other books that expensive?? No wonder Rowling is bloody rich.

[Guy]

Wow, I think it's expensive because that's JK's last chance to earn money off of Harry, haha.

[zaffy04]

they sell more than 3 mil copies or something

[Guy]

Anyways, how do u think Voldy will die?

[Thelindra]

usually i buy HP books one year after they are released (although i borught the 6th book 6 months after relase cuz i cant wait XD)

And usually reserve form the libary to know how the story goes, to feed myself with little bits =3

[adorkable]

@ guyklc
Somehow, somewhere, Harry will kill him. I guess...
It wouldn't be so bad if Harry dies as well. =\

[analog]

Can't wait for the next book, I will go and get it at midnight, I got first copy at the store I was at for the sixth one :P
*feels like a loser*

I don't dislike Ginny, she isn't that bad, nothing against her. Hopefully she is hawter in the next movies.

Voldy will die, not sure how but he will. Harry might as well I won't mind if its done right, I will cry if he does though none the less :P

[Mercurius]

She's not that unattractive!



OH YES SHE IS...Sorry Dork, but she really is


Anyways...I think harry dies...then in some weird way somehow goes back to life, and then kills voldy because of some strange ancient power that has awaken in Harry and he'll pwn the shit of of Voldy. Tough I'd prefer to be done with the first time harry dies...that way VOLDY WILL RULE THE EARTH...MUHAHAHA.





...and rape Ginny:cheer2

[adorkable]

Rofl. Wtv.

Daniel Radcliffe though... <3

Have you seen the promotional images for Equus?

OMFG. HAWT.

(and he is nude...)

[Mercurius]

Whas...Equus??

A movie??

[adorkable]

It's a play that Daniel Radcliffe has signed to perform in. And in one scene he is nude, which caused controversy because he acts in "kids' films", etc.

I have the high quality images... And just... well, I didn't know Daniel has developed that much until I saw those photos. =P

[davidn15]

Yeah, I live there. I'm not sure, but are the Harry Potter books translated into Vietnamese? I remember hearing that somewhere, but I really can't remember... Hmm...
Whoa! Were the other books that expensive?? No wonder Rowling is bloody rich.


well actually the book could cost less than that. I remember that the inside cover of half-blood prince said 25 bucks. I only paid 18 for mine at walmart. and yeah i do remember hearing that the books were translated into vietnamese. but u'll probably have to wait longer for it.

[adorkable]

No point in that. I can't even read Vietnamese (lol, yes, I am pathetic). Well, I hope that the book isn't too expensive. I'd still buy it anyway, whatever the price may be.

[Mercurius]

I can't wait for it...I guess I'll get the english version, waiting for the Dutchy translated one is such a pain in the ass...

[davidn15]

No point in that. I can't even read Vietnamese (lol, yes, I am pathetic). Well, I hope that the book isn't too expensive. I'd still buy it anyway, whatever the price may be.


i'm vietnamese and i can't read it either. all i can do i speak it. price isn't a problem for me either. man i'd buy it if it was like 40

[Wanderweiss]

Come on, we all know Harry is going to kill Voldemort, its just the how thats exciting! First he has to destroy each of the horcruxes, then kill Voldemort... which is really easier said than done. :P

[Mercurius]

Especially when U're a mediocre wizard like Harry -_-

the only thing he's good at is Defence against the Dark Arts...wich isn't the only thing he needs

[Wanderweiss]

I don't know... the only thing he is really bad at is Potions, and I'd chalk that up to just because he had Snape as a teacher. His charms work is good, we've seen what he can do when he sets his mind to it (summing his broom from so far away) We haven't really seen his Transfiguration, although typically Hermione did it better than everyone else, and Harry struggled... and his Defense Against the Dark Arts is superb. What else is there to need? Obviously he isn't going to be as good as Dumbledore at pointing out the security of the Horcruxes, but he'll be able to do it with luck as he always does.

[davidn15]

if the horcruxes did that to dumbledore what kinda effect are they gonna have on harry

[Guy]

Yeah, I just realized something doesn't make sense! In the fifth book, Dumbledore couldn't even kill Voldemort, and Voldemort's UNDERLINGS almost kill the entire Harry team. If Voldemort is stronger than all his underlings, and his underlings are stronger than the whole Harry team, then there is no way Harry can get stronger than Voldemort in just one year...

[Kenken]

Especially when U're a mediocre wizard like Harry -_-


you're totally right!!!

[Ronin36]

Normally Harry relies on luck and wins, no matter what. Of course, he never ceases to wake up in the hospital wing at one time or another. Also, consider this: In the 7th book, Harry should be able to Apparate. Will this help him defeat Voldy?

[Guy]

Hmm... but doesn't Apparate take awhile to master?

[Thelindra]

and harry isnt very good in the area of thing using his mind "power" =/

so appration is quite diffcult for him X_X

[Guy]

Yeah, why do I get the feeling that Harry is screwed...

[Xkavanger]

She's not that unattractive!

>.>

lol. Oh well.

She's an exact female version of Ron!

[Wanderweiss]

and harry isnt very good in the area of thing using his mind "power" =/

so appration is quite diffcult for him X_X


I don't think thats true at all. Harry is bad at keeping his emotions at bay, which was what is solely needed in Occlumency, but when he needs to he can learn new spells well enough.

The patronis spell particularly, that was a spell that was thought to be immensly too difficult for someone of his age to master, however he was able to do it. And the main piece in the spell was thinking of a very, very happy moment, if that doesn't take mind "power" I don't know what does. I don't believe Harry will have too much trouble at all learning to apparate, and I think apparation will be detrimental to his dueling with Death Eaters and Voldemort himself, as avoiding spells is absolutely crucial.

[analog]

Harry did apparate's not only himself but Dumbledore as well at the end of the 6th book. Doesn't that show he will be able to apparate, especially if he is only going to get better?

[Guy]

Yeah, but just knowing how to apparate isn't enough. Dumbledore apparated during the fight with Voldemort, but he didn't win. To beat Voldy, Harry will have to SURPASS Dumbledore in one year...

[Wanderweiss]

Thats not necassarily true. If Dumbledore had gone into the fight wanting to kill Voldemort, Dumbledore would have done so.

You cannot forget that Dumbledore is very old, and one of his hands is basically dead. Whereas Voldemort is in a new body, with all of his old power, if not more so.

I can't stress enough that Harry will NOT be alone in this battle. Yes, he has to do this by him self, it is a personal battle between him and Voldemort. However, he'll have himself, Ron, Hermione, the Order, and of course: Fawkes the Phoenix. "Dumbledore will only have left this school, when none here are loyal to him" We can count on Fawkes helping Harry out, and maybe even Gryffindor's sword may play a role, considering Jo herself said there was a lot of connection from CoS and HBP. Bwahaha

[Guy]

Wait, are you saying Dumbledore was just toying around with Voldy? Why would he do that? Sirius died and Neville was in mortal peril (Ron lost his mind). I don't think Dumbledore was playing around...

[Wanderweiss]

Wait, are you saying Dumbledore was just toying around with Voldy? Why would he do that? Sirius died and Neville was in mortal peril (Ron lost his mind). I don't think Dumbledore was playing around...

Dumbledore said it himself that he wasn't trying to kill Voldemort. The entire duration of the fight he was trying to get into his head by calling him by his muggle name. Dumbledore has repeatedly said that there are things worse than death, so NO Dumbledore wasn't going at him to kill.

The entire fight Dumbledore was just being defensive trying to get Harry away from Voldemort, and waiting for the rest of the Ministry to arrive (I'm guessing he was the one to alert them in the first place.)

[Guy]

Ah, I see, sorry, I missed that part. Still, it's kinda odd. I still don't understand why Dumbledore didn't just kill Voldy on the spot. I mean, if he killed Voldy, wouldn't Harry be saved anyways?

[Wanderweiss]

Ah, I see, sorry, I missed that part. Still, it's kinda odd. I still don't understand why Dumbledore didn't just kill Voldy on the spot. I mean, if he killed Voldy, wouldn't Harry be saved anyways?

Because Dumbledore knows about the Horcruxes, he knew that it wouldn't have made any difference. Also Dumbledore wouldn't kill Voldemort, its against his personality. What I want to know is how he dealt with Grindewald, if he killed him or not.

[Thelindra]

and my guess is, dumbledore belives in the prophecy, and the one truly mean to kill voldy is only harry.

[Mercurius]

Most likely he'll just do everything again with lots of help with Hermione, who most likely will accidentely fail near the end so Harry does the last 1% of the finishing work and take the credit, while hermione did al the other 99%...and Ron...he'll just die miserably !!!

[sham16]

Hmm I sorry to just jump in on the middle of your conversation... But I am new in the literature area.. Anyway could i ask when will Rowling release the last book of Harry Potter... Anyway ill introduce myself.. I am Sham, 19 and had read all Harry potter books as well as watched all the movies of it...

[davidn15]

july 27 this year

[Wanderweiss]

Actually its July 21. :P

I think we thoroughly discussed this... so now... do you guys think there was someone else beside Voldemort, Lily, James, and baby Harry that Halloween night in Godric's Hollow?

Also, I like how the title is Deathly Hallows, and Harry's parents died on All Hallow's Eve.

[Guy]

Oh yeah, I forgot about horcruxes. Damn, no wonder he didn't kill Voldy!

But still, is it possible for Harry to defeat Voldy? Harry is an above average wizard at most...

[Wanderweiss]

It doesn't matter how strong Harry is, he must defeat Voldemort at all costs. Voldemort is the guy who killed his parents, ruined his entire life. Voldemort will meet his end at Harry's hand, no doubt about it.

[Guy]

Well, sentimentality won't be enough to defeat Voldemort...

[Wanderweiss]

True as that may be, it still stands that Harry is the main character. He's going to kill Voldemort. lol

I think he'd have a tougher time destroying the horcruxes than killing Voldemort.

Also, do you guys think Voldemort abducted Olivander so he could get around priori incantatem? Harry doesn't have that to help him anymore... but I think that getting rid of your original wand is a bad idea. You still forget that Harrry has his friends and the order... so it won't be 1v1.

[Guy]

Hmm... yeah, that makes sense. How many horcruxes are left? Did it say so, I forgot...

[Wanderweiss]

Well assuming he had 7 then 4 left.

If he only had 6, and the one piece in his body then 3.

So far the ones we know that have been destroyed are

1. The Diary (Chamber of Secrets :) )
2. The Ring (Dumbledore's Decrepit Hand)
3. The Locket (Mr. R.A.B.)

Hm, also who do you all think R.A.B. is? I think its Regulus Black :D

[Thelindra]

R.A.B IS Regulus Black ^^

its been proven many time:p

[Guy]

What's Regulus's middle name?

[analog]

The locket hasn't been destroyed yet, it was just taken by RAB, its most likely the locket they couldn't open at Grimmuald Place which means it still hasn't been destroyed, it was just taken from its hiding spot. Its never been proven that it was Regulus Black(I don't think Jo ever said it was), but many(including myself) think that it is.

[Wanderweiss]

Just because the locket was there doesn't mean the horcrux inside of it wasn't destroyed. Dumbledore kept the ring after he had destroyed the horcrux in it. :P

And, on the Harry Potter Lexicon they posted R.A.B. as being confirmed with his name being Regulus Arcturus Black, however just days afterward it was taken down without any explanation. (Does this mean he was contacted by Jo's people? lol) Also, if the horcrux is still in the locket then its either in two places

1. With Kreacher in Grimmauld Place (he had been mentioned taking numerous things)
2. With Mundungus Fletcher (he was seen with a bunch of different things from the Black residence.)

I don't think Jo would show these for nothing, so I'm certain its one of them!

[Thelindra]

hop on to mugglenet and somehow reading all those articles on RAB makes u believe that RAB is Regluus Black^^

[analog]

I wasn't denying that its Regulus Black, as I am sure it is, its just it hasn't been "officially" confirmed.

I wasn't saying that they lost the locket, I am sure its somewhere still in the house, if Kreacher took it or if Mundungus stole it, which means Harry should be apply to obtain it without, to much difficulty.

If Mundungus stole it then it'll be much more difficult for him to obtain it. My bet is that he did take it. :( Remember they show him in Hogsmeade trying to sell some of the Black Family heirlooms. So by now, it could be anywhere!

[analog]

True, if Mundungus did sell it then you never know who hands it could be in. I wouldn't be surprised if he did since Kreacher was sent away and there was no one from stopping him from going there and taking stuff. So who knows what could have become of it.

[ikkaku's girl]

Yay! I absolutely love Harry Potter!

1) I ship Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione
2) I have read all 6 books and can't wait for July 21st, so I can get the last one!
3) I think I'm going to say I like the movies more than the books. I'm staying loyal to what brought me to the fandom in the first place!

Does anyone esle go to the Leaky Lounge?

[Guy]

I don't like the movies. They butchered much of the book. The chamber of secrets didn't look as cool as I'd pictured it in the book.

[ikkaku's girl]

I don't like the movies. They butchered much of the book. The chamber of secrets didn't look as cool as I'd pictured it in the book.

I beg to differ! The movies did not butcher the books! I, personally, enjoyed the movies! Just because they are different from the books doesn't mean they're bad movies! I think the special effects are pretty darn great! I mean the dragon and the lake in the last movie... they looked spectacular!

[Guy]

Lol, you have your own opinions. I just think they shortened many of the stuff. I was disappointed that the Quidditch World Cup lasted so briefly in the fourth movie.

[Thelindra]

If u did not link the movie with the book, the movie is excellent ^^b

if u compare it, you will be like "HEY! where my fav scene in the book!" and ended up spoiling the mood.

so its better to keep a seperate view as they are on different medium.

[ikkaku's girl]

Sorry, guyklc, i get a little defensive about Harry Potter. :p

I would have liked to see more quidditch too! Quidditch is one of my favorite parts of the wizarding world. Too bad there's no more quidditch in any of next movies/book.

[adorkable]

Yeah, I have to agree that the fourth flim was cut down too much. I'd much prefer to watch a 4 hour film that included everything, to be honest. But I think it was decent. Much better than the third film. I'm really looking forward to the fifth film, because now, I reckon that the actors/actresses have matured heaps from when they first started.

[DreamAngel]

IMO the movies left out too many details... While I do agree that they were different mediums each to be respected in their own rites the movies from the 2nd one up leave out details that later essential references depend on. One such that springs to mind is when Dumbledore referes to the bound spell that occured when Harry fought Voldemort in the 4th movie. He merely says it's name in awe (it currently escapes me) but never explains what it is. If you hadn't read the books you wouldn't know what he is talking about!

3rd movie was esspecially a let down >.<

[Guy]

Yeah, the movies were good if you rank them on a different medium. Nice special effects, but compared to the book, I'd still say the book is better.

The third movie was the worst one so far, but can't blame 'em; imo, the third book was the least interesting out of all the books so far.

Why must the Canadian version always look so childish compared to the American one? :( At least the Canadian bookcover confirms that Hogwarts will still play a significant setting. Yay.

[Thelindra]

nice find!

thats a locket doing in the cover?

oh wait....its one of the hornox ~_~;

[ikkaku's girl]

nice find!

oh wait....its one of the hornox ~_~;

I'm thinking it's def. one of the Horcruxes.

If anyone wants to discuss Harry Potter in detail, I seriously reccommend www.the-leaky-cauldron.org and their forum www.leakylounge.com. ;)

[Hits]

I think mugglenet.com is the best site. It's where I got the coverarts from.

[Wanderweiss]

Hm, I think the UK/Canadian one reveals the most. The most interesting bit I notice is that Ron is holding Gryffindor's Sword. That could mean something big. :D

The UK Adult one shows Slytherin's Locket, that is an obvious one, but maybe they're putting more of an emphasis on R.A.B.

I'm getting excited. ^^

[Guy]

Wait, where will the "adult version" be available? In UK, Canada, and US? And why is it called the "adult" version?

Btw, I agree that the Canada version looks weird...

[Thelindra]

I think mugglenet.com is the best site. It's where I got the coverarts from.
i agree with this ^^b

all the book are the same, its just the covers thats diff and and gives a different feel~

[Cheryl]

What Theli said. I can't find a difference in text between the adult and kid versions...unless I didn't look hard enough... >__>

[Guy]

Wow, then there's really no point in publishing an adult version... lol.

[Wanderweiss]

Is there a difference in book/font size? That could be it <_<

[Thelindra]

nope, i have seen both version, its just the cover diff, for diff feel only

[Cheryl]

Makes me wonder why they have two different versions for it... -__-

[adorkable]

Lol. I didn't even know that there were two versions for the books. =\

[Cheryl]

I can't remember how the kid version of the 6th book looks like...but I always thought that the adult versions look more sophisticated =3

[Thelindra]

the 6th book child cover shows harry potter and dumbly surrounded by flames, prob the scene at the back of the book.

[Hits]

Makes me wonder why they have two different versions for it... -__-
It's simply for marketing reasons. I heard that a large percentage of readers are over 20, especially as the books get deeper and more mature.

[Guy]

Marketing reasons? Lol, that could be it, but really, who cares? If they had been following the book, they would know that it is getting less and less like a children's book.

[Hits]

But what self-respecting middle-aged man would want to read a book with 12 year olds in a flying car as the cover? I'm talking about the Canadian bookcover for Chamber of Secrets btw.

Anyways, I wonder if the close release dates of the movie and book will have a negative effect on revenue.

[Wanderweiss]

This is Harry Potter we're talking about here, making that very very unlikely.

[rei]

hits has a point. harry potter is now a teenage adult book me thinks over here. and around here there's the hard bound and soft bound

[adorkable]

I reckon Harry Potter is suitable for ALL ages. I know some people who are older than 60 years and read Harry Potter. I also know those who are 8 and read the books. I guess having different covers do influence the reader to buy it according to their age group (if they are mature and whatnot, I suppose they would buy the "adult" version).

[rei]

there's even an adult version. never read one never seen one. i'm not too particular with the cover, as the cliche goes don't judge a book by its cover.

is the same artist doing the adult and kids version?

[adorkable]

Apparently, these are the covers for the upcoming book.

Adult edition:

US edition:
http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7189/pottercoverkidsusagl6.jpg

I don't think its the same artist.

[rei]

ic we have the us version here.

adult edition looks very john grisham-ish

[adorkable]

All of my Harry Potter books are the children's edition covers (I think they're also the UK edition), except for Chamber of Secrets - which is the US edition.

To me, the adult version looks boring. It wouldn't be my first choice to purchase if I saw it. =P

(Yes, I sometimes judge books by their covers. XD)

[rei]

the adult version is designed to appeal to the 20's-mid 30's age group which has a different taste from the kiddie ones. so it follows that teen would find it boring and unappealing.

a cover is a just a cover what's important is the reading experience. so judge away XD.

[Hits]

I quite like the adult cover for Order of the Phoenix. I happen to own one.

It's quite possible that the US coverart depicts Harry at the veil that Sirius went through if you look at the extended art.

[Guy]

Well, there are usually softcovers and hardcovers for most books that are thick. I do remember an author visiting our school several years ago and telling us that this was for marketing reasons. I think everyone would buy Harry Potter regardless of their age....

[rei]

indeed.

here in the Philippines they import the US edition, tho i wouldn't mind buying the adult version of we have it here. the locket got me :P

[Wanderweiss]

They're not done by the same artist.

The American edition is drawn by Mary GrandPre
The UK Children's edition is done by Jason Cockcroft (Not kidding)
The UK Adult edition is done by Michael Wildsmith

Also, I do think the American edition displays Harry and Voldemort at that coliseum where The Veil is located within the Department of Mysteries. Oooh

[Guy]

Wow, they should get rid of the children's cover. It looks childish and stupid.

[adorkable]

Even if it does look childish, many people prefer buying it because of its cover. Yes, there are those people who judge books by their cover. Plus, it does give a bit more variety to the books. :P

[Guy]

Meh, true.

Care to share your favorite Harry Potter moment? Mine was when Harry escaped from Voldemort in book 4. It was so suspenseful.

[Mercurius]

the back in time part of Harry potter 3...

[Wanderweiss]

Hm, you should buy while Amazon still has it in stock. The price on release day is like $35, but I got mine at Amazon for $19. =D

[Mercurius]

I'm gonna wait till the price 'll lower, I'll just borrow one of my friends who can't wait to buy :p
