Harry Potter

[adorkable]

Sooo...

Does anyone read Harry Potter, or it just me?

I made a search on Harry POtter and there were a couple threads which were similiar to this one... but I thought it would be nice to start from scratch in the books section. xD

Maybe some random questions to start this off...

1. Who do you ship (Favourite pairings)?
2. How many books have you read?
3. Movies > books?

[Nomadic Dragon]

I read them..yes I'm 20 and I read Harry Potter..lol. I really don't have a favorite pairing. I've read all the books many many times. The books are LEAGUES better than the movies, at least in my opinion.

[Lolable]

lol i am 19 and i read them but not big fan
i have all the parts and the book is better than the movie
cuz the movie their acting sux and its so brief and as usaul with movies from novels i read ..not wat i imagined exactly :(

[hitsugaya131]

ive read all the books and all the movies

i thought that the last book wasnt as good as the previous ones and it left us on a cliffhanger for a change....that note...

[Insight]

ive read all the books and all the movies
i thought that the last book wasnt as good as the previous ones and it left us on a cliffhanger for a change....that note...

yeah i know that note was really annoying what a *****y way to end it. i've read all the books and i'm also 19 so it seems the average age for harry potter is 19-20.
i don't mind the films they are deffinately getting better each film. the problem is they are good films on there own but they suck when compared to the book. looking forward to the 7th and final one although i expect one of the 3-harry, ron or hermione- to die. bugger!

[unwaken]

hahaha almost everybody who replied in this thread has stated their age. xD

im 20. :D
and yeah i do read harry potter.

ive read all. and fav pairing? urm... they're KIDS!! <.<
lol xD but as always books > movies.
they just leave soooooooo much details out of the movie. >.>

[hitsugaya131]

oh i forgot to mention my age....

im 15....
not 19 or 20

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

i read them..i love them and i'm 20 yrs old!

I have all of the books(adult versions)..fav books is HBP used to be GOF. As for the movie...i think the 2nd one is still the best.

Shipper of:

Hermione X Snape(shush! it's not disgusting! He's hot!)
Draco X Harry(ooh..i love this pair!)

[Hits]

I love the series. I feel like the book matures alongside its readers. I started when I was 7 and now I'm 15...and the contents of the latest book is clearly not a book for 7 year olds.

[nightingdale_16]

well i'm 20.. i dnt have a favorite pair.. but i read all the books and watch the movies also... but for me i prefer thew books....

[adorkable]

heh, I didn't even mention who I like together, or whatever.

Well, I'm all for the originals: Hermione x Ron, Harry x Ginny.

And I don't care about the rest. heh.


Draco X Harry(ooh..i love this pair!)
Oh so hawt. <33

Ok, 6th book... I was thinking RAB was...
Regulas A. Black.
Sirius' brother. Maybe? What do you think?

[Kenken]

I'm 15
read all books and watch all movies
HermionexRon
books better than movies

RAB is not sirius's brother, i think J.K. Rowling has said that RAB wasn't sirius's brother... don't ask me where i read this, can't remember...

[Karides]

15 here

I ship Harry X Hermione, so i am kinda disappointed.

Oh and Dumbledore died. How pitiful /sarcasm/

[adorkable]

I'm 15
read all books and watch all movies
HermionexRon
books better than movies
RAB is not sirious brother, i think J.K. Rowling has said that RAB wasn't sirious brother... don't ask me where i read this, can't remember...
Oh really? :p:

Oh well, I have no other theories then.

lolol

15 here

I ship Harry X Hermione, so i am kinda disappointed.

Oh and Dumbledore died. How pitiful /sarcasm/
Do you really think he's dead?

I have a hitch that says he isn't.

But then again I think he is. =/

[Kenken]

dumbledore: MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!
maybe dumbledore isn't dead, and ordered snape to ''kill him'' so he could have more freedom to ....do something?? again, i read this somewhere, i'll look for the link
EDIT
i found the link: http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com/, now if you don't want to know anything yet and wait fo the last book, then DON'T CLICK THE LINK, even if we're not sure if dumbledore is really dead or not... i wish he still alive

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

yeah..i dun think dumbledore is dead..cuz u know, when that site dumbledoreisnotdead.com 1st got up it was a week or so after the book came out..

And then it was pointing towards that dumbledore has sent orders for snape to kill him..and it's like, draco could have finished him off but why must he wait for snape to do the job? And also, why did harry have to be the witness of dumbledore's fall?

Questionable..

Oh yeah..as for Regulus Black..i think he's linked to the Sirius. Well all purebloods are in-breds so they are linked some way or another... like wasn't Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange had Black as their maiden name?

[Kenken]

um... regulus black is sirious's brother...and Sirius's family isn't called the Sirius, they're the Black, Sirius's full name is Sirius Black, Sirius=first name and Black=last(family) name

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

um... regulus black is sirious's brother...and Sirius's family isn't called the Sirius, they're the Black, Sirius's full name is Sirius Black, Sirius=first name and Black=last(family) name

yeah sorrie..i know sirius is a name, that was a grammatical error..buahhaha~~

[Kenken]

lol...anyway, i don't think Dumbledore is dead either, he is far too important in the story to be killed just like that...

[Azalea]

Yeah i think so, maybe he'll return just like gandalf :D

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

Yeah i think so, maybe he'll return just like gandalf :D


haha! Yah!! like u know..dumbledore the 'black'..cuz i mean his beard is long and white already it can't be any whiter..so he could be Dumbledore the Black..

[Mercurius]

Well I don't think it will be that Much of a ripoff from LOTR, but I do think he will not be (fully) dead...maybe something like Voldemort was before...

[Karides]

Seriously, I wish that Dumbledore could just die off, and thus...

Make Harry stand up like a man he is supposed to be. He seriously need some spanking to get on with it.

[adorkable]

As I said, I think RAB being Regulas A. Black is a theory...

And I can't decide if I want Dumbledore to be dead, but I think he should be so that Harry does actually go through the last one by himself... or something...

Harry is such a bastard. I hated him in the fifth book when he was yelling at everybody. That boy is annoying. :p:

[Pink_Paper_Heart]

yeah.. Harry has a lot of growing up to do. He is too reliant on his friends and dumbledore.

¤ he has to stop being so emo also..

[adorkable]

yeah.. Harry has a lot of growing up to do. He is too reliant on his friends and dumbledore.

¤ he has to stop being so emo also..
Ahaha, emo harry. He's got the hair, and the personality.

My new view on Harry: emo. :whatevah:

And Ginny likes the badd boys doesn't she? :P

[Shinigami_Josh]

i have read all the books my faveroite paring is any no yaoi one


BOOKs>pwn movies

[Mega Wings]

The story is well done! you help but like it!

[BeeCrest]

I'm 14, and I've read all the books nad watched all the movies.

Whether or not Dumbledore is dead, i'm not sure. It would be nice to see Harry fight on his own, because throughout the whole book he has had help.

The movies have been good too, but I just didn't like how they portrayed Lupin in the third movie.

[adorkable]

Oh yeah, me forgot to mention:

Books > movies.

But the movies were still good imo.

I think in the end, Harry should fight by himself - unlike the others where he has had help -

PS (or Socerer's Stone), Hermione and Ron helped him with the 'challenges' through the trapped door.

CoS - Fawkes (omg I forgot its name) the Phoenix helped him defeat the basilisk with the sword and hat (which was basically Dumbledore giving them to him);

PoA - again, Ron, Hermione, Lupin, Sirius were there to help Harry. And him and Hermione travelled back in time together - Hermione helped him.

GoF - Cedric (sort of) and Harry's parents helped him escape.

OotP - was that the one where Luna, Ginny, Neville, Hermione, Ron and Harry went to the Wizardlalalaa... place? (omfg I really need to reread the books...)

HBP - Dumbledore and Harry went to find the hoax; the 'gang' helped fight the baddies. xD

Forgive me if I'm wrong... I'm so bloody forgetful...

[hitsugaya131]

....

spoilers:


i dont think dumbeldore is dead either cuz that whole note thing and him being the mentor and everything.. i read the last one a while ago so i cant really recall every detail about why i think he isn't dead... but i dont think he is dead or that snape is bad... i still think snape is good... maybe something with the unbreakable promise too..

[Elelith]

Heh, my head hurts now. I just sat there and read all of that website.....

I am 16, been a HP fan since it came out when I was in primary school.

I agree with pretty much all of that website...... And on the subject of RAB, wasn't there some woman that Hermione found out that could have been RAB? I also haven't read the books in an age, I really should.

[Mercurius]

What I didn't like about the movies (well can't be helped, but still) is all the cutting away...like in 4 they almost left Serius out and those Lobsters didn't have any roll

[hitsugaya131]

true, they leave out alot of stuff in the movies to not make it too long
like in the last movie they didn't include the dursleys at all.

as for the books:
so any ideas on the RMB thing theres a huge thing about it on the harrypotter lexicon site... as for me i really dont know

[adorkable]

What I didn't like about the movies (well can't be helped, but still) is all the cutting away...like in 4 they almost left Serius out and those Lobsters didn't have any roll
Yeah, I agree.

I hated how they portrayed Sirius as the lump of coal and not the head. I mean wtf was that?

And the movie moved on so quickly... Especially the Yule Ball.

It was a disappointment to me because GoF is my favourite Harry Potter book.http://www.suscopts.org/stmaryatlanta/images/icon_VirginMary.jpg

Regarding OotP, it is the Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries.

[adorkable]

Regarding OotP, it is the Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries.
Hehe, whoopsie.

That's the one. xD

I'm waiting for next year: 2007, year of Harry Potter.

OotP in the cinemas and possibly the 7th book released.

[unwaken]

sighs.
still a looooooooong wait more =(

i can't remember what happened in the end but he wanted to leave the rest. didn't he? so hopefully by doing so he'll mature and be able to fight based on his own abilities.

bleah.
i still cry when i read tt bit bout dumbledore dying.

damn it. =(

[adorkable]

Oh yess.

I cried at the funeral part.

ME.

CRYING.

It's impossible.

teehee.

Another part that I cried was when Cedric died.

Yes, really.

I didn't care for Sirius. heh.

[unwaken]

cedric??

but but but!!!

hmmmmmm

I cant think of any objections xD

Yeah. sirius's death was so anti-climax. <.<
Falling through some covered doorway.
Bleah! I remember feeling so cheated.

I kinda expected a little more.

[Karides]

I can't picture Sirus death, even with all the description. Oh well, i guess i will have to wait for the movie.

But then, they might cut that scene out, whatever...

[adorkable]

Nah, I didn't care for Sirius. He's not a favourite. He annoyed me for some reason. :S

I can't picture Sirus death, even with all the description. Oh well, i guess i will have to wait for the movie.
But then, they might cut that scene out, whatever...
Oh godd... I really do fear how the next movie is gonna turn out... But I doubt they'll skip that part out... I mean it's Sirius DYING! Although I think they may change the way it did happen...

cedric??
but but but!!!
hmmmmmm
I cant think of any objections xD

It was just so sudden... And he was hott. :LOL:

[unwaken]

lol. xD
Maybe it was the constant transfiguring into a dog. :p

Hmmm...
Random thought.
I think Fred and George Weasley are my favourite characters :biggrinlo

xD

[adorkable]

lol. xD

xD
They're probably one of my favourites.

But I like... Luna. She's just... different.

[unwaken]

o.O

refresh me again.
Was she the one that liked Harry?

<.<
>.>

*ashamed*

I can't remember my Harry Potter details. =(

[adorkable]

She's the weird one. The one with her wand tucked behind her ear, Ravenclaw, her father is the editor of the Quibbler (or something like that), same year as Ginny, Hermione isn't too fond of her...

[unwaken]

OH.

I remember.
She's the one that can see the "horses" pulling the carriages right?
Something like that.

lol xD
I hope she makes more appearances in the future.
But she seems kinda like a one-off character.
Hmm...

[adorkable]

Haha yeah.

She can see them 'cause she witnessed her mother die when she was 9.

I tend to like the minor characters instead of the major. :p

[unwaken]

Oh yeah.
You've gotta witness a death before being able to see them

zomg!!!
We're Harry Potter addicts!!!

:doindadom :doindadom :doindadom

[adorkable]

Oohh yess. :doindadom ~

I might go re-read the books during my holiday... Catch up on all the info and shiz... xD

[Kenken]

oh no, i can't read the books again, not ever....ok, maybe in a few years... i got tired of them, since i read 1 to 5 about a hundred times each... the sixth i might re-read it, but not sure yet...

my favourite characters? umm.... Sirius, Lupin and Dumbledore .... *cough*dieharrydie*cough*

[adorkable]

*cough*dieharrydie*cough*
heh.

Harry really is an emo boi.

I also want him to DIE!

It might be interesting...

[Kenken]

yeah...but i'm sure Rowling(or whatever her name was) will keep him alive (damn!), but he might suffer a bit, so that would make up for his survival...

[iLeo]

I think her name was Luna Lovegood.. wierd girl =P

[Kenken]

yup, that's her name, and a weird girl indeed....but trustworthy too, she was one of the onle member of the DA that help harry and the others to defend the castle

[Elelith]

What is it with small odd girls liking Harry. Does he attract them or something....... Odd, I'd love it if she killed Harry, but it would be annoying because a whole bunch of teenage fangirls would go into mourning. And you couldn't go anywhere without girls crying about it. (I know people who would do that!)

[BeeCrest]

There are also those hints of Ginny x Harry :)

I just want to see Harry do something on his own really, it'd be cool to have him fight with very little/no help. I can understand getting help from Hermione and Ron like in the first book, but not excessive help. He's still alive because he has alot friends there for him, and that tends to bug me.

And yeah, Luna Lovegood and Harry can see the threshals (sp?) because they have seen someone die.

And as for reading the books again (glares at shelf with all of the books) I'm too lazy to reread them since I already did last summer. But my friend was able to read 1-5 twice one summer before the sixth was out. God she's crazy XD

[adorkable]

Ginny and Harry ftw. I already thought they hooked up... omfg, I really do need to go back and read teh 6th book. =/

Hermione and Ron are bound to get together. I don't doubt it at all - there are just too many clues. I mean, c'mon, when Ron said Hermione when he was sleeping; at the funeral...

I remember one part where Ron eats the chocolates that have the love potion stuff in it, and then he's all like, "I love her", etc, etc... I really thought it was Hermione! And then he suddenly says Romilda Vane. I was like wtf? :eek13:

One thing I dislike about the movies is that Peeves is no where in it. All though if he were, it'd probably really annoying too...

[BeeCrest]

Oh the chocolate. Romilda Vane put a strong love spell on the chocolate to seduce Harry, but Harry gave the chocolate to Ron who got hit with the fake love.
I have a decent memory, but I probably remember more from the other books than the 6th because I read the 6th only once in 20 hours, so I probably didn't catch some stuff.

[adorkable]

Which year was Romilda in, again? 2 years younger than Harry? Or was it just a year below?

Haha, yeah. I remember when the book was first released, everyone went crazy. I came to school and practically everyone had a copy of Harry Potter with them (well those who weren't afraid to show it). It was so weird.

I also read it in less than 24 hours too. w007. xD

[BeeCrest]

I couldn't go to store at midnight for the 6th, but did for the 5th one since it was past 10:30 already and I was still at the mall. Fortunately one of my parents got a copy for me and I had all Saturday to read it :D

I'm not sure if the book says Romilda's age. I skimmed the pages but couldn't find it.

[adorkable]

Yeah... I'm pretty sure she's two years younger than Harry... Well, she wasn't in the same year as Ginny as I remember...

"Harry looked over top of Ginny's had and saw Dean Thomas holding a shattered glass and Romilda Vane looking like she might throw something."

Haha, I fear what Romilda Vane will look like in the movies.

[Kenken]

i read the book between 9:am in the morning and 5:00pm of the same day, i have never read a book so fast...

Romilda Vane?? oh yeah, the leader of the ''unofficial fanclub of harry potter'', who cares about her, she's just a minor character...

[adorkable]

Haha, she sounds like a real stuckup biatch.

:P

I really don't get why all the younger girls are lusting over Harry.

*shrugs*

What I'm looking forward to in the next movie is how they will protray all the memories... Plus, I hope young Sirius is hot. xD

[Cheryl]

I just hope they don't skip too much stuff like they usually do in HP movies... >.<

[adorkable]

That's true. I was disappointed with the movies cutting out scenes... But I think they've done a good job for each of the movies.

I mean putting a 700-800 paged book into 2 hours and 30 mins is pretty good imo. :D

[Kenken]

that's gonna be hurt, there's a great amount of information in the books, and to be able to put all that in a movie of 2 or 3 hours long is almost impossible...

[adorkable]

... that's why I greatly fear how the movie may turn out...

[Kenken]

um... then just read the books

[adorkable]

lol. Of course I'll read the books.

Books pwn the movies.

But the movies are entertaining to watch, so I watch them.

xP

[Kenken]

um.. yeah ... they're interesting, but.....the games suck!!!!!!

[adorkable]

I've never actually played the games... well, I only played the first one (for the PC) and I beat it in like a day... And it was quite poopy (I try to refrain myself from saying s**tty :LOL:).

[Kenken]

i've played the first one for game boy, both 1st and 2nd for play station 1, and the 3rd for pc, so far i've only passed the one for game boy...

[adorkable]

Oh yesshh, I forgot about the gameboy versions... I only have the first one and second one for gameboy. Completed them both. :D

[Kenken]

the first is easy after you beat it the first time, i got to level 99 on that one, enough to kill the voldemort kid in 3 turns

[hitsugaya131]

news info on the 7th book:

on good morning america this morning, they had an interview with jk rowling she said that the next book may not be the last book (probably to earn more money) and also she said that two charactes were goin to die in the next book (7th) any ideas as to who it might be.... plz use spoiler tags for any guesses jk rowling said it might be harry...?

[BeeCrest]

Hmm, i'm not sure who will die right now.

I'll put this in spoilers just in case ;)
Did anyone else think that Dumbledore would die in the 6th book? My friends predicted that Snape would die, but I was the only one who brought up the idea of Dumbledore dying.

And Fawkes disappeared at the end of the book at Dumbledore's funeral, correct?

[adorkable]

Yeah Fawkes did (as far as I remember).

As for what may happen in the 7th book... Well, I think there will be a major character who may die... Harry? Ron? Hermione? It could happen. For some reason, I think Draco will also die... =/
And if this isn't the next book... Well... Will it just continue on from the 7th book? Harry Potter's twenties? :P

[hitsugaya131]

Hmm, i'm not sure who will die right now.
I'll put this in spoilers just in case ;)
Did anyone else think that Dumbledore would die in the 6th book? My friends predicted that Snape would die, but I was the only one who brought up the idea of Dumbledore dying.
And Fawkes disappeared at the end of the book at Dumbledore's funeral, correct?

i'll put mine in spoilers too:
when they went on that trip to find voldermorts ...i forgot what they are called...pieces i knew he was goin to die...i didn't think that snape would die cuz i thought that he was still needed in the story to make it interesting....i dunno...about fawkes disappearing...i really dont think that dumbeldore died.....maybe fawkes went out to find him...a bit farfetched...but i truly dont think dumbeldore died so... any comments

[adorkable]

Maybe... Well, at this very moment... I can't even decide if Dumbledore is dead or not... Although I think you're theory of Fawkes going away to find him is quite true. :P

[BeeCrest]

I'm still not sure if Dumby's dead or not.
And the pieces are the horcruxes.
I can see Draco dying in the 7th. I felt really bad for him in the 6th though because he had a huge burden.

[adorkable]

I was so surprised that he was crying.
But I really do pity him... The things that he went through, you know. =/

What do you think might be the last horcruxes?

Is it possible for a horcrux to be a person?

[BeeCrest]

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. I can't even think of who it would be if that's possible. Unless....

What if it's Harry?

Well, that's a bit far-fetched XD

[hitsugaya131]

about the horcruzes:

i was thinking about maybe the snake Nagini, its usually near voldermort and it seems pretty important...also the Peverell ring or maybe one thing from each house of hogwarts....ie grfyndor's sword, hufflepuffs cup,etc....
it could also be maybe harry's scar..alot of people have been saying that...but i dunno.... your idea about it being harry isnt farfetched, alot of people seem to think that too...there must of been a replacement for the diary as well.....there's alot of info at:
http://wc6.worldcrossing.com/webx/.1ddf3808

also, jk rowling was originally goin to put this 6th book as part of book 2 so maybe stuff from book 6 as well

[sherenetms]

Maybe... Well, at this very moment... I can't even decide if Dumbledore is dead or not... Although I think you're theory of Fawkes going away to find him is quite true. :P

True. True. The idea of Dumbledore dying seems......unreal....

Anyway, too many deaths now. First Cedric, next Sirius, then Dumbledore. Sigh....maybe Draco isnt that bad like his dad anyway....

[Kenken]

i thought Rowling would made another book, i mean, it would be too short with 7, but there's one thing, Rowling at the beginning decided that there would only be 7 books because of the Chronicles of Narnia..... i know it's a bit weird, but i think it's true, because the chronicles are seven and Rowling was inspired by it..... i read too much things about Narnia, i know...
Now about death
too many death already!! Harry was supposed to be a book for kids!! i don't care if now it is for teenagers, there are too many deaths!!! and she better let Dumby live, cos i'm not sure what will happen... but i hope voldemort dies next, he is a major character too

[adorkable]

Well... is there gonna be another book after the 7th?

Because if there will be, I doubt that Voldy will be killed in the next one... As well as Harry (in the 7th, and if there will be more after that one)... I mean, how can you have 'Harry Potter' without Harry Potter? :P

And about too many deaths... Well... I wouldn't mind if Beatrix LeStrange(was the her name?) dies. But I hope none of the DA die... I mean that would be sad... ;-;

[airswifter]

She said two more people will die. They are facing extreme darkness, maybe harry potter might follow the footstep of his parents. Voldemort will most probably die off with him.

[hitsugaya131]

about the next book's deaths

i think it'll be someone in the DA, someone reality close to harry im hinting also to one of the order of phoenix members as well..maybe one of ron's parents or moody or something

[sherenetms]

Oh no!! I hate it when good ppl die. I was so disappointed when reading the 5th and 6th book, when sirius and dumbledore died. Just too bad. Sirius shouldnt die!! He's such a caring Godfather...sigh*

[adorkable]

Nah... I didn't like Sirius that much (although I have no good reason though! lol).

But I have to agree with hitsugaya131, I think someone from the DA may die... Perhaps one of the major characters I presume.

But I really do want that LeStrange chick to die. :D

[sherenetms]

Really, Adorkable! Lestrange ought to be tied up at the legs and held upsidedown and dumped into a pot of grossy slime!!

And boiled.

Alive.

[adorkable]

:LOL:

Die Bellatrix! (that was her name wasn't it?).

heh.

But what about the prophecy? Do you think Harry is it, or Neville?

Right now my mind is leaning towards Harry (after all he is the main character), but it could be Neville too. =/

[hitsugaya131]

i believe its harry too....or else i dont believe that harry wouda had those dreams and also cuz the book is called harry potter..i believe its just to add some kinda twist to the plot or to bring suspense...tryin to make the readers think or something...

[sherenetms]

That prophecy most probably is about Harry. I mean, it was rather confusing at first. Then, finally, it looks to me as if all the clues point to Harry. Especially the part when they say the dark lord mark him as blah blah blah. Didnt Voldemort gave Harry that scar? Isnt it suppose to be some kind of mark?

[hitsugaya131]

yea, but thats b/c voldermort thought it was harry b/c he thought that that kid had the most potential...i think that he could have easily marked neville....it really matters on the prophecy i think, not who he marked..

[BeeCrest]

Voldy gave Harry the scar which was left after he failed in killing Harry.

I could see Luna or Neville dying since they are the main members of the DA. Someone from the Weasly family, I can't see that happening. They've avoided death about 3 times already with Harry's help anyways :P

And Bellatrix can die f' sho.

[adorkable]

If she doesn't die sooner or later, I'll go bankai on her ass.

What about the Dursleys? Do you think they'll play an important role in the next book, or will they just be... there like they always are?

[sherenetms]

HMm......makes sense. Well, guess all we can do is wait for the next book and hope that this time someone bad dies instead..Bellatrix...hehehehe

[BeeCrest]

I don't think the Dursley's will play a huge role, but it's possible they could help. I don't think they'll die though.

[hitsugaya131]

i dont think so...didnt say something like harry will have to visit your house during the schoolyear one more time before he turns 17 for the spell thing to work...so i dont think the dursleys will play a big part...
where do ya think he stayed during the summer then....also, can you think of anything big that will occur next year at hogwarts,
b4 there were the exams, the tourny, etc.... or just something pops up...

[M-50]

where do ya think he stayed during the summer then
He is gonna go abck to the Dursley's then to the burrow for Bill and Fleur's wedding. Then he will travel with Hermione and Ron to find the Horcruxes and Voldemort.
also, can you think of anything big that will occur next year at hogwarts,
b4 there were the exams, the tourny, etc.... or just something pops up.
Bill and Fleur's wedding is a big thing, but it is not at hogwarts.
Hogwarts might close is a big thing.
Also Hogwarts might be attacked again by the death eaters.
HARRY DIES!!!! Or so Rowling felt like doing. She said that because she only wants to write seven books about Harry and so that no other author can cash in on Hogwarts by writing a sequel.

[hitsugaya131]

yea, i heard of that too...

i completely forgot about fleur and bill's wedding...like most of the weasley's i seriously dislike fleur....

i thnk that the event at hogwarts will be a totally new thing....dunno...
yea we dont even know if he's goin to hogwarts anymore....i don think the will...there's no headmaster, currently and the major characters at hogwarts dont necessarily have to be there and also cuz snape and dumbeldore are supposedly gone...

[BeeCrest]

HARRY DIES!!!! Or so Rowling felt like doing. She said that because she only wants to write seven books about Harry and so that no other author can cash in on Hogwarts by writing a sequel.
I can understand that, and if the 7th is the last I can see him die.

One idea is that Voldy and Harry both die. If Harry is a horcrux he'd have to die anyways so Voldy will die. Just a thought.

[hitsugaya131]

thats a good idea of harry of being a horcruz, but then it wouldn't go with the prophecy saying that one cant live while the other does....thats why i dont think harry's a horcruz....

sometimes the book buisness may be all about money too....but yea.....i dont see hermonie dying.....cuz i just dont, and also cuz jk rowling said that hermonie was her fav char...

[SoundWave]

I've read four books... I don't really care about pairing... And I liked the books better then the movies.. But it's gone a couple of years since I read the fourth book..

[BeeCrest]

I can see Hermione dying too.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the prophecy so Harry really can't be a horcrux. It'd just, well, suck if Harry dies and Voldy doesn't.

I've read four books... I don't really care about pairing... And I liked the books better then the movies.. But it's gone a couple of years since I read the fourth book..
Don't spoile the 5th and 6th for yourself >.>

[Insight]

sorry my money is on ron to die and i don't think harry is a horcrux although that means that harry still has to find 4 horcrux's and beat voldermort in one book so it's gonna be a long one. cant wait.

[hitsugaya131]

yep, ron's a possibly as well...
there may be more than book 7, but yea if there isnt goin to be then yea itll be hard to fit all that in there...
i wonder then if the next book will be bigger than the 5th book....because the books used to get bigger, then smaller....but there;s so much still left so the last book may be the biggest...
it has to cover all the horcruxes findings...possibly the plot of the whole story...then harry may not attend hogwarts at all if this happens... it also has to cover the big fight and also about snape and dumbeldore and who rmb is and the deatheaters as well...
its goin to be a hard-core book...probably alot of violence....defintately not for 11 or 12 year olds...
thats enought writing for now i believe....

oh and yea...ur welcome beecrest that i pointed out about the prophecy thing....thats the thing that proves that harry is not a horcrux
now...hitsu's done...gotta wait for bleach 233 raw...

[Neve]

I'm still interested in who R.A.B. is...I reckon it has to be someone we know at present...

I reckon Hagrid is the most likely candidate for a death, myself. He's a very important and lovable character, so seeing him die would be very sad, but he isn't crucial to the storyline, nor is he enough of a main character to merit keeping him alive for his character alone. I don't think Harry, Ron or Hermione would die - they're just too central. Still, I would have said that about *blank* before book 6, and he died.

Personally I think there wasn't enough romance in the 6th book. It was very well done - the relationship between Harry and Ginny, that is - but there was little more than 1.5 pages of them talking after they got together and about half of that was them breaking up. Seemed a little unsatisfying.

One of the few things that I don't like about the books is that even though the later books obviously aren't for children of 11 and 12, some of the themes that might occur in books for children of those ages continue to reccur in the later books. Things like using the term 'snog' for kissing...they are supposed to be 16...

[Kenken]

if ron and/or hermione die....then harry would transform into a dark wizard, kill voldemort and go to a mountain to live alone...

[hitsugaya131]

or he would convert all his anger into pwr and kill voldermort, but i highly doubt both of them will die...if one of them had to die it would be ron...

@itsovernow
hagrid is another candidate, but recently he isnt as important as he was in the beginning..
dumbeldore was also central but he died...so my guess is anyone...
the violence parts of this book isnt for 11-12 yr olds
but some of the love scenes and jokes are corny and for the younger kids...

[silverwolf801]

man I really want to know who the two people that will dia are. I t could be Harry and someone else.

[Rayzer]

hmm...no idea about who's going to die....maybe a death eater...and maybe a dude from DA (i hope not lupin =P he's a cool dude)

anyways i believe that it's either Dumbledore might be still alive or Dumbledore decided that he was going to be a sacrifice in order to keep make voldemort trust snape even more..so i guess Snape really is a good guy...but acting as the a traitor. I still remember how harry heard that dumbledore was arguing with snape about something and snape was very unhappy...i bet dumbledore was telling him how he's going to be the guy that's going to sacrifice him =P lol

but oh well..that's just another one of my crazy theories...hehehee

[hitsugaya131]

dont worry thats not that farfetched
i still think snape is good as well and that dumbeldore may not be dead...
do u too have any idea on the horcruzes, mentioned in the earlier posts, then..

as i mentioned b4, i think that voldermort or one of harry's close friends..

[silverwolf801]

wait you know that dumbledore is dead right. He dies in the half blooded prince

[hitsugaya131]

he knows that kid
he's just saying that he doesn't think that he died cuz of what happened...i dont think he died either.
why else would we be talking about snape being good or bad...
besides this thread has spoilers anyway that arent in the spoiler boxes so he woulda figured it out..
he also said, "might still be alive"

this is a clarification for silverwolf801

[Rayzer]

hmmm..i'm not so sure about horcruxes...but..i guess if you guys say harry can be a horcruxes..(which he can't cuz of the prophecy)...well..maybe other important characters might have a chance of being one too?

oh yea...and if ron dies...that wouldn't be fun =(...he's supposed to be the main comical relief in the book right? lol

[silverwolf801]

he can't die from my perspective he one of the three. Meaning Hermoine,Harry and hisself

[nyuu_chan]

about the snape thing - i think snape's probly a good guy too. i mean, i always assumed that there would be this amazing reason as to why dumbledore trusted snape and the reason they gave in the 6th book wasn't very impressive... so i think there are still alot of things about snape that we don't know.

does anyone know if the 7th book is actually going to be at hogwarts? at the end of the 6th book, we know Harry, Ron, Hermione are going to search for the horcruxes so are they not going back to school? it would be strange if for just one book they weren't at school though...

[Kenken]

yeah, it would be strange, but i don't think it will be at hogwarts

[Asthrun_Itiji416]

yeah all the books that have come out have gone through my eyes

[adorkable]

I don't think Harry, Ron or Hermione would die - they're just too central. Still, I would have said that about *blank* before book 6, and he died.
I've never actually thought about Hagrid as a possibility to die... It is a possibility, as I do think that the 2 people who will die will be close to Harry. (no offense or anything, but I don't like Hagrif that much too :P)

Personally I think there wasn't enough romance in the 6th book. It was very well done - the relationship between Harry and Ginny, that is - but there was little more than 1.5 pages of them talking after they got together and about half of that was them breaking up. Seemed a little unsatisfying.
Haha, I agree with you. I don't think that there was much romance either... Although it was more than the previous books. I really do hope to see more of Harry and Ginny together and see if they are still together (as far as I remember, Harry wanted to break up because it might be dangerous for Ginny... or something like that... or am I making this up? :S); or maybe Ron and Hermione finally hooking up? There have been too many clues! And JK Rowling said herself something like if people still think Hermione and Harry will be together, they really do need to re-read the 6th book again.

One of the few things that I don't like about the books is that even though the later books obviously aren't for children of 11 and 12, some of the themes that might occur in books for children of those ages continue to reccur in the later books.

Isn't 'snog' another word for 'make-out' but commonly used in Britain?
I really want to know how or if they will portray the 'snogging' in the movies... I seriously think Harry Potter will now be higher rated and unsuitable for younger years... (I really don't want them to skip out all this kissing because it won't be appropriate!)

[hitsugaya131]

i never said that this wont take place at hogwarts

and if this is the last book, its goin to be hard for harry to find all the horcruzes if he's stuck at hogwarts....
i dunno, but at the pace this is goin and with all the stuff left to cover i think that there will be more books or the next book is goin to weigh alot!

[Sanzora]

I read them, I'm 21. I like the whole book thing more than the movies, but I've only read up till 5

[adorkable]

That is true. I doubt that Harry will find all the horcruxes in the 7th book AND at Hogwarts... I think that there will be more books... Or... well... The seventh will be heaps to read.

And Sanzora, just make sure you read the 6th book BEFORE its made into a movie. :winking56

[BeeCrest]

JK Rowling should not make Harry Potter G-rated because of the children reading it. I mean, Harry and the other characters are getting older and kids grow up. I really don't know how else to say it, but as the the characters mature the books become more mature and less appropiate for kids in like 4th grade. Such as the 4th movie becoming PG-13. Parents have the choice to allow their kids to see a PG-13 movie (though Harry Potter really wasn't bad) but I don't like how tons of parents should complain and ask for Harry Potter to be more for children. Sorry if I'm sterotyping/generalising/whatever.

Adorkable: Harry is pretty close to Harry, probably the closest after Ron and Hermione since he's been there for him since book one. But i can see the possibility of him being a candidate for death.

As for Snape, I'll stick to being stubborn about him being evil. I don't think he sacrificed Dumbledore, but is still a death eater who double crossed Dumbledore. I cannot see him betraying Voldemort.

dude i totally agree...they want whats best for their children by making everyone else suffer. if it was rated pg-13 then thats the age group that its directed towards...

i think that you meant harry is pretty close to hagrid....
yes he could be a possibility to die. i dunno ive always liked snape so thats maybe why i dont think he's evil
or maybe im like dumbeldore and i fell for snape's act lol

[Neve]

Isn't 'snog' another word for 'make-out' but commonly used in Britain?

Well...it's another word for 'kiss' but a word that's fairly immature...sort of thing 11-12 year olds would use...I suppose it wouldn't be as irritating for you because you haven't been exposed to it so much =D.

I seriously think Harry Potter will now be higher rated and unsuitable for younger years... (I really don't want them to skip out all this kissing because it won't be appropriate!)

The later ones may be 15 rated, but I doubt she'd let them go any higher than that...

Haha, I agree with you. I don't think that there was much romance either... Although it was more than the previous books. I really do hope to see more of Harry and Ginny together and see if they are still together (as far as I remember, Harry wanted to break up because it might be dangerous for Ginny... or something like that... or am I making this up? :S); or maybe Ron and Hermione finally hooking up? There have been too many clues! And JK Rowling said herself something like if people still think Hermione and Harry will be together, they really do need to re-read the 6th book again.
Yep...I think they broke up, although they did end that conversation on a rather vague note...so there's always hope. So annoying...it was such a brilliantly done romance it deserves more than a page...

@ bee - I hate all the movies =D. None of them did justice to the book.

[Insight]

yea h harry is trying to play the lone hero and do it by himself so he dumped ginny but probabaly a third of the way through the book they'll arrive to save him and one of them will die. then harry'll do a hulk "you wouldn't like me when i'm angry" thing and kick some1's ass, but i think by the end of the book harry will be pretty f*cked up emotionally and can you blame him.
but yeah the romance was well written and then just dismissed at the end both harry and ron and hermione's. it would be a shame aswell if they have to make the book childish still i mean harry will be 17 and i can't imagine him infront of snape or voldermort saying damn and darn it would just be stupid.
besides i's like to see a parent try and stop they 12 year old reading the last harry potter book because harry calls snape a b@stard or somthing.

[tednfs]

Book 7 will be bloody
Spoiler Warning :)
when i finished book 6 the day after it came out
I read a blog with a billion literally theories
but I personally think that Snape did it according to DD's wishes
Because if he didn't snape would die
plus they could speak non verbally(legisomething)
so he wasn't pleading for his life since in PS he really philosophied about death
anyway ron and hermione - one will die
funny thing is the prophecy is open to mass interpreation
good or bad ending? jk knows
we just have to wait and find out

[adorkable]

Well...it's another word for 'kiss' but a word that's fairly immature...sort of thing 11-12 year olds would use...I suppose it wouldn't be as irritating for you because you haven't been exposed to it so much =D.
Nope, I don't hear 'snog' very often. Although I do go to a British school, but I generally hear kiss, make out or pash. Anyway... :whatevah:

The later ones may be 15 rated, but I doubt she'd let them go any higher than that...
That's what I don't like about the books... Ok, I know that there are children who read it, but I don't want anything explicit, but more mature... If you know what I mean... =/

Yep...I think they broke up, although they did end that conversation on a rather vague note...so there's always hope. So annoying...it was such a brilliantly done romance it deserves more than a page...
I loved the part when Ginny runs up to Harry (or was it vice-versa?) and they kiss. So romantic. :biggrinlo But what I think is that they will get together, as they did end everything on an indefinate mark. So yes, as you said, there is always hope.

@Bee: Hagrid is a contender who may die... But he isn't as crucial in the storyline compared to the others...

And there will be other events happening in the 7th book... So I really do wonder how everything will fit in or not...

[hitsugaya131]

i think that harry and ginny are really cute together,
but ron and heromine would be even cuter together...

it was so sad at that yule ball thing.
i wanted them to go together.
and i think that the movie portrayed hermonie's feelings pretty well.

[adorkable]

Yeah... I think it did... which reminds me...

Maybe Krum and Ron have some sort of showdown for Hermione? Maybe not a wizard duel, but some sort of fist fight thing? Would be fun to watch and read. :D

[hitsugaya131]

yes it would..

if it was on quidditch
ron would be kinda screwed
krum is good....
i like krum better....he was kinda cute in the movie, but cedric digory was just gorgous....<3

[Shinigami_Josh]

@releses.pocketheaven.com differnt positions

isnt at the end of the last book harry on about not comming back after going at the minister for magic

[hitsugaya131]

he just said that he doesnt know if he wants to go back...
he could or could not...
it never says. we are just guessing that he probably wont cuz of the horcruxes

[adorkable]

yes it would..
if it was on quidditch
ron would be kinda screwed
krum is good....
i like krum better....he was kinda cute in the movie, but cedric digory was just gorgous....<3
I thought Cedric (Robert Pattinson?) was alright looking... Not the best, but nevertheless fine. xD

But I like Ron > Krum... If it were Hermione to be with someone.
Although I won't mind if Hermione and Krum get togehter... No! What am I saying? Hermione x Ron ftw!!!

[BeeCrest]

@ bee - I hate all the movies =D. None of them did justice to the book.

Third Movie = The worst and evil
I don't hate all the movies, but they could've been better. 1st and 2nd, old and I don't care XD The 3rd they ruined Lupin's look with the awful mustache and Sirius looked a little too crazy. In the 4th they left out alot, and in the movie theater the little brat in front of me literally stood up in his chair when Harry was about to be pwned by the dragon. I would've smacked him if my parents weren't there as well as his mother. Plus I wanted to see the fight of the mascots at the Quidditch game and that was real dissapointing. Haha, I have some stupid stories somewhere in the randomness section by the way that I wrote while making fun of the harry Potter movies, nut that's a different topic -cough-

I don't like Harry's attitude of 'the lone hero' really. Him pushing everyone away (even though I've acted like that) was really bugging me, and I don't like how they rushed his and Ginny's romance either.
I still think Snape is evil as well, I'll stay stubborn with that >.>

[hitsugaya131]

the third movie was pretty bad....sirius wasnt in it that much and they skipped so much...
i really didnt like that one...

the fourth one was probably the best..
expect the second to last scene with cedric diggory's dad..
major T_T T_T
that was sad.....

i believe the rest of the harry potter movies from now on will be PG-13
cuz the part where sirius dies and that whole ministry magic scene..
also the weasley's dad getting bit
there's a ton of important scenes to get in that movie....hmmm
and that horrible headmaster....i hate her..

[adorkable]

Me prefers all the books over movies... Third movie was badd. And I have to agree that the fourth was probably the best. Although many many many scenes were skipped out (but hey, as I said pages back, 800 or so pages into a 2 and a half hour film isn't bad). But omg, I did cry when Cedric died - in both movie and film... Which is kinda bizarre because Cedric isn't even an important character (not really).

But I thought that was acted really well... ;-;

I hope they make Sirius' death well like that one (which I didn't care for, because it was Sirius :p:).

But the kids are growing older, and becoming better actors... And I hope that they continue their roles and not get anyone else.

[BeeCrest]

The fourth has been the best (despite my theater woes) out of all of them. Even though they left out alot, such as Winky it was done well. Moody's part was played fairly well, especially the ferret scene as well as the three tasks.

It's interesting how with the new actor for Dumbledore is portrayed younger than the original portrayel done by the actor who died. I like the new Dumbledore better since he has more stamina so to speak. Has anyone else noticed how he doesn't have such a long beard that isn't as white? :P

[adorkable]

Lol. I betcha it's Gandalf's day off.

But I also like the new guy (Michael Gambon) better because he is more stronger in his words - and Dumbledore is supposed to be a strong man. But what I don't like about him is how rough he is with Harry. I mean wise, yes, but pushing him against the wall, and making me think that he said "f*ck"? No. What I like about Richard Harris (the old Dumbledore) was that he was more softer with his words. But Dumbledore is supposed to be a strong guy, not some guy who sounds like he will drop dead in any second; with all due respect.

But I think this Gambon guy should calm down a bit in his portrayal.

[hitsugaya131]

agrees,
i liked the other actor for dumbeldore better...
i was very sad when i had heard that it was someone else...
i also hope that they dont change the actors..
cuz i heard some talk about the actors becoming too old
but when i think of harry, i have the image of daniel radclilffe in my head. it wouldn't be the same if it was someone else

[adorkable]

I know. When I read the books I see Daniel Radcliffe in my head as Harry. But I don't think that they should change the actors just because they are 'too old'. I mean the people from the OC are in their 20s and they act as 16-18 year olds and pull it off. So I don't see the point of changing the actors... If they ddo, I will be disappointed.

[BeeCrest]

Uh, they changed because the old Dumbledore died (as in the actor), I'm pretty sure that's why.

That's my problem with the third movie, they killed my original image of Lupin >.>

[adorkable]

Arghhh! I hated that mustache they put on him. And Sirius looks so... Scraggly... I thought he was hot! :P

(Yes, I'm pretty sure that they changed the actor who played Dumbledore because the Richard Harris died.)

[hitsugaya131]

yes...he did die.
very sad...T_T

me too...
i didnt really like the image of mad eye moody either....
i pictured him differently
i would say that the character who matched my description while reading the best was rita skiiter....
did she ever turn into a bug in the movies yet???

[BeeCrest]

Rita Skeeter was portrayed greatly, they just left out the part of her turning into a bug. I think they also left out Pansy Parkinson, but her role isn't very significant.

[Nemesis0521]

Rita in the movies bary made an appearance or a mark.

[adorkable]

I thought there was not much of the other champions... I mean the Krum guy only had like 4 lines! And Fleur didn't have much either. Rita was portrayed greatly, we just need more of her. Hope her appearances in future films will involve more of her.

[hitsugaya131]

me too...
that actress is good at acting
also i hope she turns into a bug...
wasnt this actress in phantom of the oprea as well...
i believe so

[BeeCrest]

I could care less on how much screen time Rita gets because I despise her, but if they don't include her in the 5th book with the interview I'll be beyond pissed. Fleur should've gotten more screentime as well, and in the movie Krum was just there. He just didn't talk much.
And hopefully the 5th movie won't be a disaster because if they shorten it to the bare minium there will be sme problems. I can understand not wanting to sit through a 3 1/2 hour movie (brings back memories of those LOTR extended versions XP) but for the 5th if they cut out alot and shorten screentime for certain characters like Tonks, Luna, aMoody, Lupin, the centaur dood whose name I can't remember (dammit I know this. Cerberus? Wait, that's FF stuff, Fenrir? Wait, I think that's FF too...), Grump etc.

God I hope I don't laugh too hard when I see the actress/actor playing Umbridge. That could be hilarious if you think about it XD

[Lolable]

what i REALLY hope is that actor who acted as dumbledore ISNT the same on in the next movie
cuz his acting simply sux
he made dumbledore appear as avery unsettled , wise jerkish guy
which is so not
and as for the umbridge character iam soooo waiting to C this :D

[nyuu_chan]

i don't think they will change dumbledore. but yeah, it was weird - he didn't act dumbledore-ish at all. like when he practically attacked harry after they found out he was the fourth champion.
i thought rita was really good though - pretty much how i imagined her.

[Wanderweiss]

This is Harry Potter in Literature/Book stop talking about the f'in movie. And for you information Michael Gambon played an awesome Dumbledore. Grr

[BeeCrest]

And for you information Michael Gambon played an awesome Dumbledore. Grr
Thank you

And exactly where was it mentioned that Dumbledore can speak with his mind? I'm not saying it's not true that he can, I just don't remember when it was mentioned. Was it in the 6th book or before?

[hitsugaya131]

so what, we dont feel like starting a whole other thread in the movies section..

as for dumbeldore talking in his mind in dunno
i dont think that they'll change dumbeldore as well...
hopefully keep the WHOLE same cast

[BeeCrest]

But again on the whole theory about Snape sacrificing Dumbledore, I can't see that happening. What reason would Dumbledore sacrifice himself for? Give me a reason to convince me :P

[adorkable]

I could care less on how much screen time Rita gets because I despise her, but if they don't include her in the 5th book with the interview I'll be beyond pissed. Fleur should've gotten more screentime as well, and in the movie Krum was just there. He just didn't talk much.

Cerberus? Wait, that's FF stuff, Fenrir? Wait, I think that's FF too...), Grump etc.

Yeah, if they end up cutting screentime for those characters I will be pissed off. I mean come on! And I hope they start the movie off right, unlike the 4th one where they had no idea where they were going at first (and no Durleys!). Plus, that was my favourite HP book, and the movie destroyed it for me.

God I hope I don't laugh too hard when I see the actress/actor playing Umbridge. That could be hilarious if you think about it XD
I cannot, I repeat cannot, imagine how Umbridge looks like! God, I hope the movie gives me a good impression, because when I reread the books, I still cannot imagine what she looks lke! It's really annoying.

[Wanderweiss]

Well, he can't talk with his mind but he can probably do something like it with Legillimens. Also, it is speculated that Snape killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore thought Snape's role in the Order was more important than his own. Subsequently he also knows that Harry is the one to defeat Voldemort and there really isn't anymore he can teach Harry. Another thing is that Dumbledore is not afraid of death, he sees it as just the next adventure in life. So it makes sense that he would willingly die for the cause. Also the line "Severus... Please!" supports this idea because Dumbledore, who does not fear death, would not plead for his life... but beg for Snape to go through with it! Makes sense?

[Neve]

I doubt it...JK Rowling has yet to be predicted on a plot and I doubt she will be this time =D. Most likely it will be something that there were loads of clues for, but that everyone missed.

I think he does not fear death for himself but, being one of the most important people in the struggle against voldemort he would have wished to stay alive long enough to defeat voldemort and spare others the misery to come if he is not defeated.

And there's still really too much stuff that we don't know to predict anyway. We still haven't found out exactly how Snape persuaded Dumbledore to trust him so much.

I don't think Dumbledore found himself as an important part of the equation any more. With his hand f*cked up he wouldn't have been able to take on Voldemort anymore, he was getting really old, he had taught Harry all he needed to (how to defeat voldemort) and I think he would have believed Snape's job as Spy was more important than his own. There are plenty of smart people to do organizing and planning. And yeah he was strong but he wasn't doing much head-on work anyway (other than the whole horcrux work... which Harry will be doing now.)

I agree and do want to see what it was Snape did to make Dumbledore trust him. Maybe another one of the pacts like with Bellatrix. Who knows?

[Neve]

True. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :D. Does anyone know when the last book comes out?

[Wanderweiss]

July 7, 2007. No doubt. :)

Well, if not the 7th then it will be in July. Its due for summer 2007, but JK has said she wants release to be 7/7/07 for Book 7. It would be MAGICAL. xD

[Cheryl]

Cool, just one more year of waiting! I can't wait for it XD

[Neve]

Sugoi =D - that's a great idea. There were 7 horcruxes as well, weren't there?

[Wanderweiss]

Yup, because in the magical world... 7 is the most magical number. :)

[Mercurius]

No there were 6 horcruxes because the 7th part is still in Voldemort's body...

and 2 of them are already destroyed, the ring (of Slyterin) and the Diary (wich preserved the 16 year version old version of Voldemort)

[Lolable]

the one dumbledore and harry found the fake one
i want to know who took it first and replaced it with afake one
but one yr waiting :(

[Neve]

@ Mercurius - well...6 horcruxes, yes, but his soul was split into seven parts - that's what I meant.

The clue for the fake one was R.A.B. - I'm convinced it's someone we know...but I can't think who...it isn't initials...it's some other clue...

[adorkable]

Hmmm... I've never thought of RAB being something else apart from initials... My mind has changed slightly...

I've never any other clue who it could be apart from Regulas A. Black, meaning Sirius' brother... But something apart from initials could be more puzzling... Yet, I still have no other theories.

[Neve]

That's true...I hadn't thought of Regulus...is his middle initial definitely 'A'?

[Kenken]

it can't be regulus!!! rowling(or whatever her name is) said it wasn't him, it was some other guy(or girl O_O) anyway

does anyone know why is 7 the most powerful magical number? and what is the concept of a magical number anyway?

[BeeCrest]

The clue for the fake one was R.A.B. - I'm convinced it's someone we know...but I can't think who...it isn't initials...it's some other clue...
Hmm, I never thought of that. I think it's been assumed it's he initials of someone because it was spelled R.A.B not RAB.

EDIT
Here's the note straight from the book
To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this
but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.
I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can.
I face death in the hope that when you meet your match,
you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.

R.A.B. may not be initials.

[Wanderweiss]

I'm convinced its Regulus.

The Harry Potter Lexicon had up for a short amount of time

"Regulus Arcturus Black" (may have mis-spelled... memory isn't too good, but remember how I said it lol) And on the page it said he was the one from the note, then a few days later it had been removed, and its speculated someone from the Lexicon was contacted and was told to remove it. Thats just my 2 cents lol

Also the locket, which was supposed to be found that night was hinted on earlier... from earlier in the book when they're cleaning out Grimmauld place they mention an old locket... I don't think JK would put that in for nothing, its probably used as one of two things

A serious hint
Something to mislead us

JKR is very tricksy

[BeeCrest]

That rings a bell actually. Damn, now I need to find that part. Grr.

[Neve]

I don't believe it. I think it's a very clever red herring. Obviously someone would guess that it was Regulus, and I think that the real answer is buried much deeper. I don't think JK would have put that in for nothing, but maybe what she did put it in for was to mislead us as opposed to give us hints. She's very clever - I don't think she'd allow herself to be found out that easily. Look at this (MA = interviewer, JKR = JK Rowling):


MA: R.A.B.
JKR: Ohhh, good.
[All laugh.] JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?
MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?
[Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here] JKR: Do you have a theory?
MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.
JKR: Have you now?
MA: Uh-oh.
[Laughter.]
JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.


Personally, I think JK Rowling seems far too happy in this interview for someone who has had the plot of something she has been working on for years, and what will probably be one of the best books ever written, ruined. I think she wants us to think it's Regulus, as opposed to it actually being Regulus =D. In the above interview, it looks too much like she's trying to make it look like she's embarassed, rather than actually being embarassed. She sounds like she was expecting it, to me.

Also, I reckon it's a death eater, or at least someone who used to be a death eater. As we saw in book 4, only death eaters call Voldemort 'The Dark Lord'.

[Wanderweiss]

:) The MuggleNet Leaky Cauldron interview.

Yeah, it has to be someone he was close enough to, to let them know where his horcurxes were. Meh, lets just wait and see, don't want to spoil ourselves now. :D

[Neve]

True - I'd hate to see the plot spoiled. Once the third book comes out I plan to isolate myself from everybody and read for two days and nights solidly =D. Still, it's fun to speculate. It isn't like we'd ever guess it.

[BeeCrest]

She sounds like she enjoying the fact she knows something we still don't know.

And I agree with you itsovernow that R.A.B. is something deeper than Regulus. I can't see it as that simple >.<

[adorkable]

Hah, yeah. I guess JK doesn't use much cliche - meaning Voldy dies, Harry ends up with Ginny in their PERFECT love, and they all live happily ever after.

No.

No way.

R.A.B is probably something else... (not saying that it can't be Regulas), but now that I think about it, I really don't think so anymore. :P

[Lolable]

i dunno why i have the feeling that yeah vold will die but harry will have aserious lasting injury >.<
and i dun think its sirius's bro cuz the person who replaced should be agreat wizard to pass all what dumbledore and harry passed so i dont think its his bro.

[Rokushii]

There are a few theories... one is that dumbeldore has a horcrux. another is that dumbeldore asked snape to kill him to secure Snape's position on the dark side.

My theory on the 7th book is that Harry and Voldemort have to kill eachother off, there's no other way to end it

[Sanzora]

My theory on the 7th book is that Harry and Voldemort have to kill eachother off, there's no other way to end it

Have to agree with this... I think that the final battle will either result in them killing each other (both die) or it will run into a complete stale mate with both losing their powers, something like that...

[BeeCrest]

Have to agree with this... I think that the final battle will either result in them killing each other (both die) or it will run into a complete stale mate with both losing their powers, something like that...
I thought of that too, both of them killing each other. Maybe Harry's too weak that he ends up sacrificing himself XP

About the stalemate, I don't think that is possible because the prophecy said one cannot live while the other is alive. Well, it is possible but if it's the last book I'm assuming one of them has to die. But their powers could cancel out since their wands are 'brothers'

[Neve]

My prediction is that Voldemort will die and Harry will survive...it's the sacrifices that they'll each have to make to achieve that goal that interests me.

@ Bee - I'd forgottern about the wands. That could turn out to be very interesting =D.

[Insight]

My prediction is that Voldemort will die and Harry will survive...it's the sacrifices that they'll each have to make to achieve that goal that interests me.

@ Bee - I'd forgottern about the wands. That could turn out to be very interesting =D.

yeah the past 6 books have set things up so that every1 has something to lose and this combined with j.k. means that the last book will be pretty depressing. still only two people are supposed to die so that means that she'll keep us on edge for as long as possible. still worth the wiat and the nail biting.
i think that voldermort will have figured out a way to get around the wands or will use some1 elses.

[sherenetms]

Well, all this is killing my brain and i'm half dying from anticipation. Guess i'll just have to wait until the 7th book is out. One thing is for sure though, there's gonna be deaths in this one, be it good or evil. So i'm just gonna prepare myself another box of tissues just in case it's someone i adores.

[Lolable]

err no its cuz its abasically ACHILDREN NOVEL >.<
>.>
<.<
erm so the good should win on the evil so harry will win but he might end up the same as frodo in lord of the rings :(

[Dekuben]

:) The MuggleNet Leaky Cauldron interview.
Yeah, it has to be someone he was close enough to, to let them know where his horcurxes were. Meh, lets just wait and see, don't want to spoil ourselves now. :D

They discover the horcrux themselves. I hope Harry explodes at the end of the next book. It really annoys me how popular the book has got even though its really nice to read. I wanna be a nerd dammit! Not the majority! XD

[sherenetms]

err no its cuz its abasically ACHILDREN NOVEL >.<

<.<

LOL. It used to be, i suppose, considering how thick the books ended up. And how it has become so much darker now with all the deaths and killings. Also, i dont see how parents will allow their children (12 and below) to read about relationships, especially when it comes to the part where Ron kisses Lavender. Still remember the details? I dont think our little bros and sis needs that.

[Neve]

err no its cuz its abasically ACHILDREN NOVEL >.<

<.<

Well...in theory it's a children's novel, but some of the themes in the more recent books have been leaning towads teenage/young adult fiction to be honest.

Anyway, we've been promised deaths, so don't be so sure that you'll be completely happy at the end =D.

[BeeCrest]

Again I believe the books have become more appropiate for teenagers simply because the characters themselves are maturing and don't act like little kids anymore (least not all the time)

It is possible that Snape did kill Dmbledore as a sacrifice to truly portray himself as a death eater. IMO I still don't llike him :P

Do you think Slughorn could help Harry with the horcruxes? He did tell Voldy what thy are and knew him a a teenager so he might know what items he chose or possiblities of what items hold a horcrux.

I had the thought: What if Voldy's wand was a horcrux? His wand is always on him and I doubt he'd ever lose/misplace his wand from time to time. With his wand close to him 24/7 it isn't too difficult for him to protect it.

Any ideas on what will happen with Draco Malfoy? I think he may still be important since the Dark Lord trusted him with a difficult task.

[Kenken]

voldemort order draco to kill dumbedore in a form of revenge on lucius malfoy, because he was angry at him since if you remember, in the 5th book, he and the group of death eaters he took with him were defeated by 6 tennagers, so voldemort make draco to try kill dumbledore, because either way he would win, if draco failed, then he would be killed, and then snape would have go and kill dumbledore, if draco succeded, then voldemort would know that draco is better than lucius, and he would trust him more.

[Karides]

Do Voldy ever trust anybody? Direct answer = no.

Bad guys never trusts thier minions.

[BeeCrest]

By saying truse kenshin is (I'm assuming) saying that if Draco succeeded Voldy would consider Draco a sufficient minion instead of a useless one he would cast away at instant.

[Kenken]

thank you Bee! that's exactly what i mean, i'll have to choose my words more carefully next time...

back on topic, i wonder what will happen to draco on the next book, since he wasn't the one who 'kill' dumby, then it's possible that Voldy wouldn't consider draco as someone who can be trust with important missions, but i believe he will have an important role on the next book...

[adorkable]

One theory which I thought of quite randomly was that Draco and Harry conquere Voldy together. It could happen. But I pity the boy. I genuinly think that he isn't bad >> I mean, he was crying for heaven's sake! I think that he is good, even if his father is a death eater.

That's exactly how I feel XD
I'm not sure about Draco defeating Voldy with Harry side be side really, but more like Draco betraying Voldy to give Harry a nudge so to speak. :/

[adorkable]

Haha, yeah, you're probably right... I always thought that Harry should defeat or face Voldy on his own, so maybe Draco with Harry isn't how it should turn out. But I agree with you that Draco could help Harry or give hima nudge. ^_^

[BeeCrest]

Yeah, let Harry deal with his own burden for once XD
I also don't think Draco would do something huge to betray Voldy drastically for his own life's sake.

[Neve]

I'm quite interested in Scrimgeour myself...he doesn't seem any more evil than Fudge at first...but someone (Tonks I think) passed a comment about him asking some strange questions in The Order of the Phoenix. I think it was a comment that was intended to be forgottern, because it was only once, and at that time we hadn't heard his name before (and don't hear it again until Book 6), so it makes me wonder where his alleigences lie...

(quote's on page 113 if anyone's interested =D)

[Aidan]

What I really wanna find out is what kind of role is Dumbledore's brother Aberforth is gonna have in the final book. I believe it was said in the fifth that he was(is?) part of the order but was a 'weirdo' of some sort. I really hope JK goes a little bit more in depth with the character since Dumbledore is deceased. I also want to see if the initials 'RAB' in the sixth book are Regulus Black's and if he's actually alive or not...kind of left it on a cliff hanger.

[Kenken]

to get to know more about Aberforth woould be cool, but didn't he owned that pub on hogmeasde? did i spell it right?? i need to read the books again T.T

[Aidan]

Yeah that's him nothing else is really known about him except at times during the books Dumbledore would say a story or two about him. I also believe it was in the 6th book where harry & friends(?) saw him dealing with some guy outside of his pub which possibly is the locket that RAB took hmm?

[Karides]

Did anyone know Aberforth full name?

The A initial in R.A.B could be Aberfroth. Since he had said hes a weirdo, he could possibly use his middle name as his name?

Thats one hell of a guess

[hitsugaya131]

sry havent been here in a while...
ive been in korea
so less time on cuz im on vacation

anyway no clue about RAB,
but i dont think that draco will serve voldermort like his dad...cuz he saw what it did to him....jail

wow that took a long time to read

[Wanderweiss]

Did anyone know Aberforth full name?

He's Aberforth Dumbledore. Albus' brother lol

And, I doubt it also.. because look at Dumbledore's full name...

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. I think his brother has just as many names lol

(quote's on page 113 if anyone's interested =D)

I couldn't find the stupid quote on that page. Either I read it too fast or I'm not awake yet >>

As for Dumbledores brother, I'll be honest and say I forgot he had a brother XD But it'd be nice to hear more about him and find out what he's really like.

[Neve]

About his brother - Dumbledore said Aberforth couldn't read, so I doubt he could write that letter XD.

@ Bee - ah well...maybe we have different editions or something...it goes:

Lupin glanced at Harry, then said to Tonks, "What were you saying about Scrimgeour?"
"Oh...yeah...well we need to be a bit more careful, he's been asking Kingsley and me some funny questions"

Which makes me wonder...it's exactly the sort of clue JK Rowling would slip in...

[izza]

The books are pretty cool but I don't think the Harry Potter movies are all that great.

Daniel Radcliffe's acting isn't anything.. EXCEPTIONAL. (IMO)

I do enjoy the movies though, just pointing out that I don't think it deserves as much hype as it gets.

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan though, though I'm thinking that criticizing it might make you think otherwise.

[hitsugaya131]

We’re discussin not criticizing and your comment about Daniel Radcliffe isn’t criticizing….

A
@itsovernow
He drops a lot of hits and that’s why I read them ova to find out more…
There are a lot of foreshadowing…especially in the latest bok

[izza]

lol i know you guys are discussing.forgot for a moment there that we're talking about the book.

anyways i wonder how J.K Rowling is going to sum this all up in her final book... it seems to me like there's a lot left to be explained.

[adorkable]

@izza: No worries. I don't think his acting is exceptional anyway. I'm fine with the actors' acting, but they can't be the BEST in the world, now can they? ^_^

[Reefern86]

the books r pretty good...i hate the way fantasy books these days r going more for quantity then quality, but wth?

The movies ive found to be...okay at best. New dumbledor, they r thinking about getting all new kids cause they r looking "to old"...its just not thought out well for 7 books

[izza]

Too old? They look at just the right age... and I think that getting a completely new cast would mess the movie up. I mean, I think that seeing them grow up on the movie is a pretty cool thing :D

I can't wait till the next book comes out... its kinda hard to believe that this will be the final one.. Like I said, I think there's still a lot left to be completed in the story.

[adorkable]

I don't think that they should get new actors to play the trio (or whomever).

(As I posted somewhere before) There are heaps of 20 something year olds playing teenagers (just like the OC or One Tree Hill, those teeny stuff), so why do they need to change?

If they really do change the actors, I think that people will be confused and possibly angrier... I mean everytime I read the books, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint are Harry, Hermione and Ron in my mind. :P

Although it might be good, because we can compare them or that the new actors make the movies as well as the other trio did. >_>
Who knows?

But imo, I don't think they should change the actors.

[unwaken]

I can't imagine anybody else as Harry, Ron and Hermoine.

Bleah.
If they change them, Im gonna stop watching it at the movies and d/l them instead. <.<

[BeeCrest]

They shouldn't change the actors. Yes they are aging but it makes the movies mor erealistic since they are aging throughout the books. Also what adorkable said, there aare 20 year olds out there playing character 2-4 years younger than their actual age.

I wonder if the 7th will be the longest, even longer than the 5th X.x A really long book doesn't turn me off or anything, but I think the 7th will be longer than the 6th, possible the 5th. Who knows.

[hitsugaya131]

If it’s the last book definitely the longest cuz there is so much more to fit in there,,,
The horcruxes final battle etc..
I belive I mentioned I previous posts…
That’s why I don’t think that 7 is the last one cuz then it would weigh a ton

[BeeCrest]

I remember reading an article on kids getting headaches because they were reading the 5th book to much. Something like kids were reading their copy of the book for hours on end with it close to their face because the font was small, and they'd get headaches. IMO it was years ago so I don't really remember, but call me cruel I thought it was really funny.

Edit: Erm, just a random thing related to Harry Potter I thought I'd share. Any chance one of you has heard about this?

[Wanderweiss]

I thought I was the only one... I need glasses and haven't gotten them, so I have to be pretty close... so I get headaches xD

[adorkable]

Oh yeah, I heard about that. I don't read that close to the book (it hurts my neck) but my eyesight is shortsighted, so it doesn't really matter to me. What I didn't like about the 5th book was that it was really long. But as some other people posted, the 7th book may be even longer...

[unwaken]

longer books ftw!

Imagine the amount of detail that will be within the book. xD
Its gonna be awesome. =)

I think the 7th book's gonna be a heartbreaker too. T_T

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

yea... hopefully someones dies too... or at least the story has to be good.... coz after seeing so mani good stuff can be ruined... (eg: anime ruined by fillers) i wonder if it can happens to popular boooks too... coz book 7 will be way different from others... the story line will completely change i promise u tt..

[~black butterfly~]

omg....i havent read the half-blood prince yet... *cries* but i want to so badly....

[Sosai Wakasaki]

Ive read the 6 books!! Good story... I wanna read the last book!!!!!!

[adorkable]

omg....i havent read the half-blood prince yet... *cries* but i want to so badly....
Why don't you read it then?

Just promise me that you'll read it before the 6th movie comes out (I assure you, the movie will destroy the book if you don't read it first). :winking56

[D.L.]

I've read every book and seen all the movies except for Prisoner of Azkaban. I think the movies live up to the books.

[hitsugaya131]

Me neither I don’t read that close to the book…but yea…I read the newest ones all in one day….in like 3 hours….so after it gives people affects…..
about the longer books, yea…there is so much to sum up in it soyea

[Luna_Sombra]

I've read up to the 5th book, havnt finished it because we put all the books and things in storage for the sake of moving >.< I'm not a big fan of the movies either, but I watch them anyway :P

[rey]

ive only read the first and fith one

[_mike_]

ive read all of them. ive read the 1st-4th about ten times lolol (i was bored), the 5th twice and the 6th once..ive also
