I just want the last book to come out so I call tell people, "See, I was write and you weren't."

I was at a sci-fi convnention a couple of months back, and in the HP panel they had, the started off with "Okay, I think we can all agree that (mumblemumble) is dead . . ."

Hello?? No, we can't all agree. Okay, maybe (mumblemumble) might die in Book 7, maybe *has* to die for reasons you mention, but I don't think (mumblemumble) is dead.

"Dead is Dead in the Rowling universe and there is no coming back from Dead."
Agreed, but you aren't listening to me.

I tried saying something along the way that I don't think that (blabberblabber) killed (mumblemumble), but before I could state why, I got the retort: "So what killed (mumblemumble)? did the fall break (pronoun) hip?"

Sigh. Okay, don't listen.

mumblemumbles added for anyone who hasn't finished book 6. sorry, but I assume prepublication rumors led everyone to know that someone dies in this book. Or do they???????

I always thought there wasa weird similarity between the way (mumblemumble) reacted to the Avada Kedavra and the reaction the girl (can't remember name) had when she touched the poison necklace.

They both were kind of suspended in mid-air and then fell.

Not the typical reaction to the AK curse.

JMO, but I think Snape is "the other" in the prophecy. "Either" must die at the hand of "the other," for "neither" can live while "the other" survives.

Snape is an interesting antagonist....

I picked up the Goblet of Fire a couple of months ago after putting the books down for about a year. After all of the hype I was kind of disappointed with the way the books held the same formula - they we so predictable.

Then, I picked up the GoF and I read the last three books back to back in about a week. They were so good. I was completly surprised when (okay, I'll go along!) blabberblabber killed mumblemumble because I was convinced blabberblabber was a good guy. So I did a search to see what other people thought of THBP and found an article by John Granger:

Now, since I am new to HP, this may be old news but I thought it was very interesting. He seems to know his stuff. And his articles helped explain to me why HP and Voldemort are so closely linked (Is Harry a Horcrux?) and why blabberblabber killed mumblemumble.
