WTF are you doing in a Harry Potter thread?

How is Hamilton doing?

 

[PIK95]

I could see Hagrid biting the bullet, perhaps giving his life to save Harry.

For anyone not familiar with this series, people will come to view the HP series in the future as people now view the Lord of the Rings.

They absolutely aren't just kids books.

nahh...i say too many people around Harry have died. So his closest friends should be safe.I'd go with Snape, Voldemort dead. Draco Malfory getting the reprive.

As the person on this board who has wasted the most of his life away reading these books (I have read the first three over 15 times each and the last 3 at least 5-10 times each) I have to agree with this. There is no way IMO she kills off any of the kids.

 

[PIK95]

If she kills off two good guys I would go with 2 of the 3 of these Weasleys (Fred, George, with Ginny being a VERY long shot IMO) i hope that is not the case though because I love them all.

 

[pigskinliquors]

Grown men read these books?

Yes. I'm with Icon = Snape is good, and D'dore will be back. I also think Neville plays a large role in the fight against Voldemort, and assists greatly in his death. My guesses:

Voldemort = DEAD!

Chang = DEAD (driving HP to a higher level of hatred of V.)

D'dore = back from the quassi-dead

Harry is with Ginny now. Cho Chang is old news and Harry doesn't give a crap about her. HTH.

 

[Peyton Marino]

It has now been reported that 2 characters will die and 1 received a reprieve from death.  Much discussion revolves around who is now dead in the series.  With about a year left before book 7 is released there is lots of time for this to be contemplated. 

This leads to a USA Today brief with Mugglenet.com web host and The Leaky Cauldron's web host.

I would prematurely say that:

Lord Voldermort = dead

Draco Malfoy = dead

Severus Snape = reprieve

who gives a ####?

2nd post in nails it.

Riding the pine quite nicely. We're 22-22 now. Having a bit of a rough stretch.

My wife is far, far too into this series, so I figured I'd share the pet theory of the rabid fangirls.

On Rowling's web site, she has a section where she lists the birthdays of characters in the series. What's weird is that inconsequential characters' birthdays have been listed, but some BIG characters' birthdays (Dumbledore, Voldemort, Sirius Black) are not listed.

Now, Rowling has also said that the Potter books are meant to take place in the recent past. Like the late 90s. The theory is that any major character that is not on the birthday list is either dead, evil, or both (at this time).

Snape has a listed birthday. Draco does not.

I think they will start a friendship during the next book, causing some friction with Ginny; though Harry shows allegiance to Ginny. They all become OK with it, then Cho is killed; revenge ensues; Voldemort = dead It's my best guess.

Wow that is very interesting. Any chance of linking the page where that is listed? I have Mugglenet and The Leakey Cauldren bookmarked but not Jo's site.

I don't think that has ANY chance of happening but I guess anything is possible, lol.

 

[prosopis]

You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking that. H Potter is nothing more then a media driven thing. It wil go the way of the pet rock.

I read most of them. The ones I didnt read I listened to on audio. In one form or the other I have read/heard them all.

Way to make a stand.

What were you looking for?Jihad?

Well which is it? "who gives a ####?" or "I have read/heard them all"?For someone who seems to have no interest you seem to fallen prey to the media driven hype.

Good point. I have kids that are really into them and I did want to know what it was about. It just isnt for me. I understand the kids liking it but I have always thought it was wierd how many adults were into it. I feel they are poorly written. I just dont get it. I do think that just about anything that gets people to read is a good thing though. In this thread I have broken a personal goal of mine which is to not piss on something others like just because I dont. I was wrong to come in here and say what I did. It is just my opinion that the series is not that good. Like I said earlier if Harry potter will get people reading instead of sitting in front of the TV then it is a good thing.

So again just my opinion they are not good but that does not mean they arent good. Understand?

I am currently reading the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee mysteries from beginning to end. I enjoy them but I guarantee someone just at that.

A better person then I will let me enjoy what i like and not take pot shots at it. I am a big Stephen King fan and I found it interesting that he thinks the Harry Potter stuff is awesome. it is just not my cup of tea. I do however like that it has my kids reading.

After that long apology I have to say that I do believe that a large part of the H Potter thing is media driven and it will be looked back on the way we look back at the rubics cube.

Sorry i just did it again.

How do we look back at the Rubik's Cube?I mean we look back and go "Wow, I had one of those" or we say "I had a buddy who could finish it in..."

I have never heard anybody talk about it and say "Remember what dorks we were for having a Rubik's Cube"

I don't remember the Cube being a media driven thing.

Please try again

I look back on the cube as a memorie of those times, not something that stood the test of time. I just dont think H Potter will have the staying power of LOTR as someone felt above. I did not intend to call people dorks. I just dont think these books are all that people are making them out to be. Do you remember VC Andrews and that series? I would compare H Potter to that before I would LOTR.

 

[prosopis]

I think Harry Potter will be looked back at somewhat similar to Uncle Tom's Cabin is today. A book/series that is very readable and enjoyable whilst not exacly great literature, that sold in incredible numbers and had a tremendous impact on contemrporay popular culture.

That is what I meant.

Hi res pics from HP5

 

[Sagan]

If Rowling's main desire is to prevent any future HP stories, then the only way to do that is to kill Harry. Otherwise, there will always be the temptation to do follow-up "post-graduation" stories about "The Further Adventures of Harry Potter", possibly as a nostalgic thing in 10-15 years or so. The only other character that even remotely has carry-on appeal is Hermione, and even that is crippled if you kill Harry.

Rowling has made tons of money on this. She has no need to pave her way to other new projects by being seen in a positive light by her fans after book 7. She could gain significant notoriety by killing Harry off. I would hate for that to happen, but she's already done some odd stuff.

Personally, I don't think her writing ability has kept up with her subjects. Her first two books were brilliant, but they have significantly degraded in quality since, in my opinion.

I highly recommend reading the British versions, though. The British version of the first book is great, and it's a bit edgier than the American version.

 

[Vrana]

JKR has confirmed Dumbledore is dead.

Aberforth (Dumbledore's brother) is the barman at the Hog's Head, and he's seen with Dung before Harry finds out Dung is stealing things from Sirius.

The popular theory is that the locket in book 5 is the real horcrux, and it is now in the possesion of Aberforth.

 

[Regular Crust Pizza]

Ginny is the first who comes to mind when I hear about characters Rowling didn't intend to kill off but ends up killing. If she doens't die then one of the parent weasleys (i don't remember their names off the top of my head) or maybe Percy (nobody likes him anyways) while trying to get back into the good graces of the family. I think a Weasley is going to have to die in this book. There are just too many of them to near the action for the family to escape intact.

 

[Megatron]

I say Voldermort and Harry both die. Series over.......

And they figure out a way to bring Sirius back...

 

[Das Boot]

And they figure out a way to bring Sirius back...

I predict that will happen.He wasn't dead when he fell through the veil: his expression was changing.Others were dead instantly when hit with the Avada Kedavra curse, and the type curse used on Sirius wasn't specified.JK left herself wiggle room to spin it any direction she wants, but my bet is that we see Sirius again.

Harry still has the mirror that Sirius gave him, and when asked about the Mirror, Rowling avoided the question. It will likely play a role in the final book.

 

[f360spyder]

I'd put money Longbottom plays a big part at the end

 

[Megatron]

I'd put money Longbottom plays a big part at the end

Absolutely. He's gotten more and more powerful with every book, and according to Dumbeldore, the prophecy could have been about him or Harry.

 

[Das Boot]

Absolutely. He's gotten more and more powerful with every book, and according to Dumbeldore, the prophecy could have been about him or Harry.

Agreed. And I'm looking forward to finding out what the deal is with his Grandma, his parents, and St. Mungos.I think his parents will recover in the end, they are being kept insane at St. Mungos.

quite possibly. Just as long as she doesn't kill off Hermione. (which is my guess)

- Snape dies (he was never bad, btw, and I have a bet with Scupper to that effect)

Agreed here... Dumbledore can't be wrong... it's just not possible. Snape didn't killl him... dumbledore will be back and snape will die saving harry's life. Snape had to stay close to Voldemort to be an "inside man" and he wanted to step forward to be the one to "killl D'dore" because he didn't want to actually kill him. He's a master of Legilamancy (?) or whatever it is where you can non-verbally cast spells... so he could have said one thing and cast another.

BTW I don't think Dumbledore is wrong. But you have to remember that in a previous book, he mentions that he doesn't make mistakes often, but when he does, they are huge. I think it was book 5 when he shuts out Harry because he thought Voldemort was reading his dreams.

I'll mark down here that you spent about $400 on pet rocks. SUCKER!!

 

[MelvinTScupper]

Sirius = reprieve

and killed again protecting his godson

Snape = evil and dead

Voldemort = dead

 

[brady666]

The similarities between Harry Potter and Star Wars. The story line will follow as well.

Luke Skywalker = Harry Potter

Princess Leia = Hermoine Granger

Hans Solo = Ron Wesley

Obi-Wan or Yoda= Professor Dumbledor

Darth Vader = Lord Voldermort

R2D2 = The Owl

etc, etc, etc.

Harry battles trying to find out who he really is, in the meantime an evil being becomes his nemesis which in the end is actually his father. I think Snapes is actually out to look after Harry and it will be revealed that he is possibly of blood decent as well. A girl that you think he might hook up with (Hermoine) falls for his buddy, which is good because they end up being twins in the end. Harry is able to hone and imporve his skills under the watchfull eyes of the master- Dumbledore.

I believe it was Star Wars 5 where Hans gets placed in that Carbon Freeze and is written off as dead. Maybe Ron suffers a similar fate.

I always thought after reading the first book how much similarity there was between the two story lines, so far it's proven to be pretty close. I guess i'll have to wait until the final book to find out how far off base i've been.

Read Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces .Many stories follow this same story structure.

Replace Harry Potter with Jesus/Bible, and this sounds quite like the naysayers arguing against religion.

Check out this group picture of the kids. My lord they are big now.

Ginny has grown up quickly.

How is at the very end on the left? The Irish kid right?

Any of you experts here know if Hermione has a lesbo scene in the new book? I might consider reading it if this is the case.

Im kinda wondering why they left most of the actors hair the same way as in Goblet but they cut and trimmed Harry's. From left to right:

Boy = Michael Corner... Smith's friend

Blond boy = Zachrias Smith... Hufflepuff

Girl = Ginny

Girl = Either Parvati Patil or her sister

Mystery Girl = Cho's friend who gets "SNEAK" written on her forehead

Girl = Cho Chang

Boy = Harry

Girl = Hermione

Boy = Ron

Girl = Luna Lovegood

Boy = Colin or his brother

Tall boy = Dean Thomas... Ginny's snogging partner

Back row:

Twin boys = Weasley twins

Sad boy = Neville

I am thinking the picture is a picture of Dumbledore's Army because Draco is not in it with his henchmen.

http://mugglenet.com/gallery/displayimage....=1934&pos=9 = Professor Umbridge... thought she would be fatter.

The twins and Neville's hair are much shorter and Ron's is trimmed somewhat since the last movie. Ginny has indeed grown up, she looks only about an inch shorter than Harry now. Glad they cut the hair, during the last movie I kept wanting to yell out, "cut your hair, you hippies!"Back on track, my theory is Dumbledore=dead but somehow has a powerful way for him and Sirius to communicate beyond the grave to Harry and provide some sort of key advice or direction. Voldemort=dead by the end. Snape sacrifices himself to save or help Harry somehow and shows his true colors as I think Snape was in love with Harry's mother and is why he turned to the lightside of the force after she was killed. Draco is somehow redeemed or possibly killed by Hermoine. Longbottom fits in somehow and I think will end up either killing or capturing Bellatrix Lestrange revenging both his parents and Sirius. Hermoine & Ron finally hook up and Harry & Ginny end up happily ever after.

I don't see a Weasley dying, the dad, Ginny and Bill have both nearly died in 3 different books already. Percy will somehow be redeemed, but in an inconsequential way. Enough heartache, leave that poor family alone!

I'm looking forward to the final book and hope it lives up to expectations. The way 6 left off it seems as if there are tons of things left to do and be explained in the final book. It's going to have to be huge to wrap up all the details.

No way does that these book have any kind of impact that Uncle Tom's Cabin did on American culture. That book was an awakening to the evils of slavery that many Northerners had chosen to ignore to that point. While Harry Potter series is entertaining it is no comparison to the impact that Uncle Tom's Cabin had.Edit to add: - Lincoln said to Harriet Beacher Stowe when he first meet her in 1862, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war".

 

[falconeyed]

That would be the best way to kill the series. Kill of the main character. Also, I've only read portions of one book, but to compare it to LOTR is unseemly.
