So you finally know what happens to Harry. All our questions are answered. Or not. What are your reactions? Whose death hurt the most? Do you want more, and about whom?
SPOILERS are ok on this thread! You have been warned!
Wow. It's over.
OotP, after the Dementor attack, when the Dursleys are preparing to throw Harry out.
Somewhere upthread someone mentioned that might have been the letter that came with Harry, but I’m not so sure.
I can't think of any particular reason why Dumbledor would have needed to correspond with them after that.
I don’t think Snape’s memory answered that question.
No particular reason Snape would ever even know of the letter.
My view on Tonks dying was that she was going to follow Lupin no matter where he went or what he did.
In an earlier book she left her “post” unguarded to find out if Lupin was alright. That is why she was wandering the halls in Hogwarts when Harry ran into her.
Then she again left her “post” which this time would have been her obligation to stay alive for the sake of their new baby to follow Lupin into the fight.
It seems to me her highest priority had always been Lupin, so it made sense if he died, she would die also.
Maybe?
Naomi Watts, Joseph Fiennes (brother of Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort), and Stuart Townsend will join the Half-Blood Prince cast when filmimg starts in September. Naomi Watts will play the mother of Draco, Narcissa Malfoy. It is still unknown what roles the other two actors will play.
I pictured Narcissa Malfoy to be really tall, at least 5'10" and more snooty looking then Naomi Watts.
Anyone have any guesses on who the other two will be portraying? If a Mundungus is ever cast I vote for Bob Hoskins. He's looks exactly like what I picture Dung to look like.
His last could have either been the letter he left with Harry when Harry was dropped off at their house 15 years prior, or when Dumbledore replied to Petunia years ago, when she was trying to get into Hogwarts, that she could not do magic, but be use in the muggle world.
Personally, I think it was the letter that Dumbledore left with Harry when he was dropped off 15 years prior.
Who knows? Just so long as they don’t cast Michael Moore as Slughorn.
Not guilty, though...
Or be doomed to live a sad shadow life in mourning.
If there were some kind of MM fan club they’d be hard pressed to find a better name then Slug Club!
There's no real expediency to killing her off -- Rowling killed them off for a reason. Lupin, in going to war, was doing what men have always done.
Tonks is essentially a soldier, too -- and her choice is more complicated. Does she stay home with her kid, relying on Lupin and everybody else? Or does she, too, fight, so that even if she dies, her child will grow up free from Voldemort's control -- either that, or die trying?
That's a very tough choice to make, and Rowling sets out the worst possible result. The question we have to answer is: did Tonks choose right? Why or why not?
Prepare for crystalized pineapple shortages.
I can’t imagine who they would play. Stuart Townsend and Joseph Fiennes are both pretty young and good looking. Too young to be Scrimgour (sp?) or Slughorn.
Maybe Townsend is going get a dye job and be Bill Weasley?
Joseph Fiennes has a kind of dark, mysterious look to him, so maybe a death eater? I can’t think of any prominent DE in HBP aside from the usual suspects.
LOL!
I'd say she did. She IS an Auror, after all.
Women in our armed services have to make the same hard decision.
Maybe because I was reading very quickly, and late into the night, but I fell for every one of her tricks in the POA. I felt true terror when Sirius Black was in the castle, and somehow "mistook" Ron's bed for Harry's. The events in the Shrieking Shack later in the book were mind-boggling to me. No longer could the most insignificant of mentions of anything be treated lightly.
I remain in awe of the complexity of this tale. Those who scoff at it don't know of what they speak.
Naomi Watts -- a plausible Narcissa.
I would guess it's Tom Riddle, Sr, as Harry meets him in the pensieve. The added benefit is that you get a true family resemblance to the older Voldemort.
Oh yes! That is a very decent guess!
He could even be the after Hogwarts, but pre-Voldemort Tom Riddle who works for Borgin and Burkes. Like you said, built in resemblance.
I haven’t seen the Horation Hornblower series, though I have heard others mention that they liked them. I’ll have to order them up from Netflix.
Remus was just so dang sweet and vulnerable! I’m sure that’s why Tonks was attracted to him.
