THIS THREAD IS INTENDED FOR READERS THAT HAVE COMPLETED THE BOOK! If you have not yet read the book, consider yourself warned: There will be spoilers on this thread.
For my fellow FReepers who have no intention of reading the book but would like to discuss the more controversial issues related to the work, I am asking you as politely as I can: DO NOT HIJACK THIS THREAD. We are all members of this forum and as such, it is not up to me to disallow anyone from participating in the discussion. That is why I am asking you--please do not hijack this thread. If you would like to discuss the more controversial aspects of the book, maybe you could start your own thread and ping us over there. If we are interested, we'll come.
I thought the man who played the white wizard in LOR would be a good DD. Sorry I am having a brain freeze and cannot think of the character's name.
Maybe Harry uses Neville's wand? Since he can't use his own with LV. Maybe the core of Neville's wand has a feather belonging to Fawkes?
Some folks don't like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, but I like the actor, so I don't mind.
I think Harry can use his wand against LV, but it's only when they're used at the same time against each other that the priori incantatum spell is released. I still think there is much more for Neville. I was disappointed that book 6 didn't have much about him, but I expect he'll feature greatly in the final book; I think he'll come into his own quite nicely. He and Luna might even get together. ;o)
Yes that was the actor I was thinking of (Gandalf's char). I don't mind the one who is playing Dumbledore now but the first one was better for the part. I was surprised there was not more of Neville in the 6th book but he did need some time to cultivate courage and his own identity away from the DA and I think that was the point of not bringing his character into play. I think somehow he and Harry will use both of their wands to bring down " he who must not be named." I had forgotten that Fawkes feather was the core of Harry's wand, did the HBP mention what was the core of Neville's? Maybe their wands together will have some sort of power. Then both will be the one the prophecy is about and they can both avenge their parent's torture and deaths.
Ping to self

Saruman?
Gandalf. He was what I always pictured Dumbledore to look like, even more so than the first actor who played the part. I wouldn't mind starting a book club but I have never posted anything. I'm somewhat a dummy when it comes to the computer. :( Did you enjoy the last installment of the Harry Potter series? To me it was one of the best. I'm not sure I can wait patiently for the last one. On one of the chat rooms there was speculation that it would come out 7/7/07! GROAN...I hope not.
Groan!
I hope not either.
I really enjoyed HBP.
I started to read it again :o)
yea that would suck really bad if she waited 2 years to release the next book but i agree with you on the gandalf thing i always pictured dumbledore looking like that
When you read through the 2nd time, see if her subtle hint about the "Like death" potion could be a hint about DD. I am still not sure I am convinced he is dead. Of course I am an optimist. :)
I already reread and when you go through it the second time you catch soo much stuff you'll know what I mean when you finish
I haven't started rereading it yet. I want to finish Zell Miller's book first. I felt like I rushed through it the first time, so I need to take my time this time around. By the way, welcome to FR. I noticed that you logged on in July. FR is very addictive!
Eternal optimist! :o)
Kindly add me as well!
I agree.
Yes I am an "eternal" optimist. Of course, I am still waithing for Sirius to show up. :)Like your tagline, by the way.
I done changed my tagline.
It's an answer to those two freepers who indicated I should dump President Bush
I say "Heck No!"
What two freepers are suggesting you dump Bush? Are you sure they are not zots?
I think it was those who would turn 17 within 6 months or something like that. She was entitled.
