February 18, 2007 -- HARRY Potter is not going to die.
But Professor Snape will.
Harry Potter will not hook up with Hermione. But his best friend will.
And Harry Potter will never see Dumbledore alive again. But Dumbledore will still manage to help him.
How do I know these things about the recently completed seventh and final book in the beloved Harry Potter series?
I dont.
Like millions of other Potter-loving muggles, Im just guessing. Thats half the fun.

We had some people in our church that got their underwear in a bunch over the Harry Potter series. It seems to be in the same genre as the Narnia series, good triumphing over evil.
Our family read the series. I loved the idea that we as a family could have discussions about the books.

I'd forgotten about the basilisk. That's not my favorite movie.
See y'all, time to take my kids to church.

Professor Quirrel Hey, Quirrel was self defense. But you missed Cedric Diggory and Ol' Frank the groundskeeper of the Riddle house, and Barty Crouch Sr.
Theft, boomslang skin and lacewing flies.
Dozens of rare acromantulas were crushed beneath the wheels of a 1960 Ford Anglia
The horror, the horror!
Interracial dating- And Bill's marrying that Frenchy!
To: CholeraJoe
You sure have studied the stories for someone that doesn't seem to like them.
None of that was even retained by me.
Except for the poisonous snake. I would kill something that was trying to kill me too. That isn't torture, it is self defense.

In the two movies (Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire) in which Jennifer Smith has appeared as Lavender Brown, she's a tall girl with long brown hair and blue eyes.

IIRC correctly it was either on www.fanfiction.net under TV crossovers, Buffy the Vampire slayer crossovers. Or at Twisting the Hellmouth www.tthfanfic.com.
I'm a Stagate SG1 fan fiction fan and found it by accident.
Warning, with Fan Fiction, Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) applies. But the remaing 10% has some very well written amateur fiction.
By the way, there are about 285,649 Harry Potter stories in the Harry Potter section of fanfiction.net...

I didn't list all the murders on purpose. I also omitted Dumbledore and Igor Karkoroff among others.

Dude- have you even acrually read the book? That kind of ignorant, foaming-at-the-mouth rant gives us fundemental Christians a bad name. Try to find the facts before you pop off on your minister's favorite soapbox, will ya?

Oh pardon. I'm not usually on the Harry Potter threads and didn't know your take. You fooled me though. I took the bait. I actually thought you were upset with the snake being killed :)

1. HARRY Potter is not going to die.
2. But Professor Snape will.
3. Harry Potter will not hook up with Hermione. But his best friend will.
4. And Harry Potter will never see Dumbledore alive again. But Dumbledore will still manage to help him.
(number added)
1,3 and 4 are almost obvious.
1. The central message of Harry Potter is that talent (Harry), loyalty (Ron) and hard work (Hermiuone) are not enough to defeat evil - in the end it takes love. To make that point Harry must eventually defeat Voldemort with the help of love.
3. They have been setting up Ron and Hermionefrom the beginning.
4. All the lesser former heads of Hogwarts live on and help their successors. Dumbledore as the greatest wizard ever will, of course, live on.
As for Snape, if he betrayed Dumbledore then he will likely die. If he worked with Dumbledore to the end, then as the only Deatheater to renounce evil he will likely live to make a point.
