Oh fine, just this once.

I maintain that Dumbledore cannot survive all 7 books.  After all, in every book, it's mentioned how everything will be fine if Dumbledore is around, that Dumbledore was the only one Voldemort ever feared, etc etc.  Harry will never be able to stand on his own as long as Dumbledore's around.  It won't be a satisfying conclusion if Dumbledore's around to lend aid.  Ultimately, Harry has to do everything on his own.

I agree with you Nix, because in "The Goblet of Fire" someone said something like "...as long Dumbledore is there we have nothing to fear."
That is why I believed that Dumbledore would be the one to die in "The Order of the Phoenix", and not Sirius. We shall see.

I noticed how J.K. Rowling played heavily on the fact that she had told everyone that someone was going to die. 1st the boggart appears and it seems that Ron has died for a second. Then you have Rons Dad and I'm sure there are numerous other bits where you become convinced that someone is about to die or has died. As to whether or not the DA reforms it depends on what kind of a teacher for the Defence Against the Dark Arts they get. I suspect that Dumbledore will die at some point in the next books. Personally I can't wait until Harry is old enough to do magic at home  I like everyone else was somewhat annoyed that we didn't find out the results of the OWLs, but consider the end of Book 7, will they tell us the result of the NEWTs?

That's all I can think of at the moment

Not to mention that she already hinted at that Harry might not survive the saga. However she also admitted that some of the clues she mad in the past were intended to confuse the fans. Regarding the OWLs, I think they did say that they would get the results during the summer.

Why do you guys like Harry potter? I never seem to like him. (seriously)

Show spoiler

it seemed like Voldemort escaped at the very last minute, seconds before Fudge showed up. I don't think Voldemort lost his body because it has been said at least four times that without a body Voldemort doesn't pose a very big threat (He had Quirrel's body in the Sorceror's Stone, his memory in Chamber of Secrets, and he regained his body in Goblet of Fire) and that it takes time for him to get enough energy to get a physical body without posessing someone or something like that. But the last chapter in OotP is called "The Second War Begins" meaning Voldemort must be a threat which means he probably still has his body and we know he has some more death eaters on his side, so they must take him down now or never. Where is he? Probably hiding out with Wormtails in his old house waiting for the first chance to attack. On an unrelated note, am I the only one who feels sympathy for Snape? I think he's the most misunderstood character in the series.

whats up with calling Voldemort "Lord Thingy"? is that a british thing? I've never heard it outside of this peel thread

[Reply #211 on:]

It's from the last chapter.  I'd tell you in what context, but that'd be a spoiler.

That's how Fudge calls him in his statement about the return of Lord Voldemort. You have to admit, this beats "He-who-must-not-be-named".

Rowling was obviously throwing alot of red-herrings around to trick the reader
At first ithought Molly
then Voldemort {but of course she cried when writing the death scene so it could'nt have been him}
I had an inkling it was going to be Dumbledore then either Hermione or ron
but then of course Sirius died unsurprisingly {i guessed about halfway through}

[Reply #214 on:]

hmm. either my shitty american book didn't have that, or i fell asleep during that part.

the annoucement i referred to is on the first page of the last chapter.
that is of course based on the british version.
don't tell me the "shitty american book" has more chapters for no reason?

I noticed alot more British slang made through Scholastic's (the US publisher) editors this thime.  Seems to be more in every book, tho this may just be due to the increasing length of the books.  Most of it can be deduced from the context ("Take the Mickey out of..." ), but I did have to look up "Wotcher".

[Reply #220 on:]

I noticed that the word "soccer" hasn't shown up since about the first book.

[Reply #221 on:]

hey nix, it's pronounced "Quiddich"

[Reply #222 on:]

what did wotcher mean anyway?

[Reply #223 on:]

Apparently, it's a contraction of "What Cheer", and is a greeting.  Sorta like the British version of "Wassup!"

Voldthingy disapparted taking Bellatrix with him, it was all there, I just missed that line the first time.
Reagrading Snape, I agree with you. However, Rowling mentioned (again) that we (the Readers) shouldn't get to fond of him. I think there are two opinions for Snape. Either he betrays Dumbledore (which I doubt) or he sacrifices himself for the Order. Anyway, We-know-who said in "The Goblet of Fire" that two of his Death Eaters had left and betrayed him, and that they would pay for that. The one who left him was probably the Headmaster of that Bulagrian School, but the one who betrayed Lord V was probably Snape.

Harry's under alot of pressure, and doesn't get much sleep.  Makes me cranky, probably does Harry, too.

Do you suppose Mr. Dursley and Fudge are related?  Dursley calls He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named "Voldethingy" and Fudge calls him "Lord Thingy"...

I totally think that in a later book they will tell us something so suprising, and I am thinking something like Aunt Petunia was or is a witch. I mean, with that howler and how she knew what Azkaban was in the beginning, it just leads me to think that there's something going on that we need to know.

[Reply #230 on:]

Show spoiler

I doubt that Aunt Petunia is a witch. After all, she explained why she knew about the Dementors and all. She heard about it when she heard her sister talked about them. And she didn't know that the note she got was a Howler. Which was sent to her by Dumbledore.

Can't be - Lily was born into a muggle family, as been mentioned/inferred in the first book and throughout the series.

Malfoy?  He's a little bitch - how could anyone like him?

Thinking about it, what DID Peeves do in Goblet?

[Reply #236 on:]

I don't know how anyone could like Malfoy. He hasn't had a single redeeming quality since the start of the series. At least Snape is complex.

[Reply #237 on:]

Well, he does have one redeeming quality...
His incompetence as a Seeker helps Harry win at Quidditch.

What with the excessive whining and anger, I'm starting to hate Harry. More so.... Apparantly, Peeves throws some stuff around in the fourth book. But to be fair, it could be very important stuff.
