You know what I found strange, after Voldemort kicks the bucket. Rowling says all the death eaters are either caught or go into hiding. So what after 19 years they all suddenly started liking Mudbloods and Muggle borns? I mean I know Voldemort was their leader and most powerful member, but it would be strange for the whole organization of death eaters to fall apart and do nothing for the rest of their lives, or live abroad forever.

Yeah, but in all fairness, a bunch of kids made them look like fools a bunch of times.
I doubt they would've lasted against the wrath of the entire population of wizards.

Voldemort was brilliant.
The rest are mediocre.
And you can't follow the mediocre.

And they all went into hiding and being good when Voldemort first "died". No different, cept this time they have no hope of Voldy returning :P.

Yeah I suppose, except for Bellatrix, that bitch is fucking brutal. She would have probably started plans to try and exterminate non pur bloods.

It would be mad funny if he made an extra Horcrux though.
I wish Rowling put more detail into the ending, I mean just "19 years later" and a few pages ins't enough IMO. She could have made it more descriptive about what happened afterward, I mean like 50 people dided in Hogwarts and shit.

Obviously, the 7th year at Hogwarts starts when you're 17.

So either JK made an error.
Or Teddy wasn't going to school at all, but instead being a bit paedophilic by getting off with kids :P.

Actually he could have just been saying goodbye to Victorie, since she was going to school. It was said that Teddy had dinner with the Potters 4 xs a week, and how could he do that while he was at Hogwarts?

Anyways, can I join? I got sorted into Gryffindor

Right now I'm reading the first book but I watched all the movies. The books seem to be better.

The books are ALWAYS better, it really upsets me some of the things they leave out. Like in Goblet of fire they didn't even show any Quidditch during the World Cup! And in 5 they didn't even mention "Weasley is Our King"

I finished 7 Sat afternoon. So fucking crazy, its my favorite. I can't believe Snapes story

Yeah Snape's story shocked me a little I didn't expect it after he used Avada Kedevra on Dumbledore in book 6. Yeah 7 has to be by far the best of the series followed by half blood prince and OOP. I read all the books but I only own 6 and 7. I'm hoping to get the full set but that would take quite a bit of money so I'm gonna settle with onyl having 4,5,6 and 7.

Well she died against Mrs Weasley pretty quickly.
So clearly she wasn't anything special :P.

Ummm...dude. Remember what happened after he left the first time (11 years before #1)? Basically all crime stopped and all the death eaters went into hiding, or were imprisoned. The same probably happened after Harry kicked his ass.

The deathly hallows movie could be great, but after seeing Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix im a bit scared about storyline cuts in the final two films. There seemed to be tremendous amounts cut from Goblet of Fire, though Order of the Phoenix was slightly better at maintaining the integrity of the book.

Mind you, there's alot in deathly hallows that can be cut down, during the middle when they're in hiding and that. I think The Prince's Tale chapter should definately be taken care of for the film, because it would be shite if it was watered down.

Woah let's not get ahead of ourselves we still have yet to see The half blood prince.
I haven't seen Order of the Phoenix movie, is it like 3 hours long? Because the book was like 800 something pages. Deathly Hallows by far would make the best mvie, in terms of action. I mean come on the 7 harry potters part, break in into the ministry, Gringotts, hunting for the Horcruxes, battle of Hogwarts, Princes tale, and Voldemort duel(although it was rather short and slightly disappointing).

can i join i'm a fan of the films not so much the books but i still read them i got put in gryffindor

Maybe it was just first impressions, but I thought Order seemed like a vastly superior film.
I watched Goblet the other night and its too fast for you to care for anything. If you've not read the book, it makes little sense as to what is happening.

Order however seemed a lot more coherant and stable.
And the score was amazing :D. Whoever did the music is a good man :).

Also Michael Gambon is gay. He's:
A - Too young to be Dumbledore.
B - Too angry to be Dumbledore.
C - Looks too dirty and untrusting... wouldn't put it past him to be a paedophile.
D - He's not Ian McKellan! He'd be a much better Dumbledore.

Wtf? They got yet another different person to act as Dumbledore?

Alright, I'd like to join in with the appreciation of Harry Potter. Just finished the 7th book and it was greater than I could have imagined :) I'm having a hard time deciding my favourite book, it was Azkaban until Goblet was published.. now I'm thinking the Deathly Hallows.

I concur, he lacks the magistic, kindly nature Dumbledore is supposed to have.. He's totally miscast, Ian McKellan shoulda been chosen. Whilst reading the books I see McKellan.. ;)

Nein. Gambon is the one who's been in the role since Azkaban.
I just don't like him.

LOL

Oh i agree, the Order film was brilliant. And I agree with you on Goblet.

I thought Gambon was awful in Goblet, far too angry and shouty, like when Harry got through to the tournament. He was better in the other two he's been in. More mysterious.

Damn...I really need to watch Order...

Right now my summer movie list is:

Order of the Pheonix
Transformers
Live Free or Die Hard
(shit, what's the fourth one?!)

That was good, but like the book, it was just filler for the big picture

Yeah, but it's supposed to have nice fights scenes and fx

Transformers

That was cool, especially if you're used to product placement and don't mind that they focus more on the humans than the actual robots.

That's cool. (that actress is hawt).

Live Free or Die Hard

Heard that was awesome.

Me too, plus I've seen all three of the others ones (I saw 1+3 this summer)

(shit, what's the fourth one?!)

Chuck and Larry. Go see it now.

I think that was it, but I only watch movies at the movies, if they have fx and all that stuff. I'll probably just watch chuck and larry at my house (with my big screen).

Yeah Snape's story shocked me a little I didn't expect it after he used Avada Kedevra on Dumbledore in book 6. Yeah 7 has to be by far the best of the series followed by half blood prince and OOP. I read all the books but I only own 6 and 7. I'm hoping to get the full set but that would take quite a bit of money so I'm gonna settle with onyl having 4,5,6 and 7.

Thankfully I recieved 1-4 back in 2000, from there I just added on. At some point of time my grandpa accidently got me 1-4 in paperback bc he didn't know I had them already. Now I own the entire series in paperback and hardback. I'm such a nerd, my room is decorated like gryffindor and I have posters ever. I am the ULTIMATE fan.

You have to save it to your comp, then use the "include picture?" thing.

GTG MOFOs.

Goodnight.

Its just sad Richard Harris had to pass away, he was such a great Dumbledore, there couldnt have been anyone better. I agree Nev, the newer one sucks ass.

Yeah, like you, I really was shocked by Snape's side of the story. It kind of made me feel bad for hating him throughout the entire series, knowing now that he did all of that because he loved Lily Potter. After reading that, he's gone from #1 on my most hated person from Harry Potter to #3 of most awesome, with Lupin being second, and Sirius being the most awesome Harry Potter character.

Anyway, who here has already seen the movie? I liked it, but it needed more of Nymphadora(I refuse to call someone as hot as Tonks is in the movie "Tonks") and Luna. Especially Luna. She was pretty much the main reason I went to see the movie.

I saw the movie, I was kinda disappointed that they didn't show Ron as Keeper or mention anything about "Weasley is our King". Luna kinda creeped me out though, I could just imagine her as a hobo or something.

I'd like to join this club. I got sorted into Ravenclaw from that test.
Does anyone else think that Hufflepuff are everybody else's whipping boys? Gryffindor are obviously bummed to death throughout the book, Slytherin are the main villains, and even Ravenclaw got quite a bit dedicated to them in the last book.
Hell, even the Hufflepuff horcrux got fuck all description dedicated to it in the book.

I agree. It was the chapter I had been looking forward to, and every time I want to reread parts of the book, I always seem to wander off into the Prince's Tale.

It doesn't matter that almost all information we discover in that chapter had been predicted by the fan community almost two years ago; it was awesome to see it written by Rowling herself. I even guessed that Harry would find out about Snape's true personality through the Pensieve, as I doubted Snape would go all emo on Harry, weep and spill his guts about his love for Lily.

Awesome book anyway, but there are still some unanswered questions. For instance, what do you think was the "source we discussed" when Snape tells Voldemort the time of Harry's departure?

I think it would've been Mundungus.
He's a bit of a tard, and it could have happened when Snape put the seven Harry's idea into his memory.

They have a song up called 'Poking Hufflepuffs'.

I heard that many people are ruining the harry potter story by saying someone got killed by someone. What would happen if someone said what happened at the ending? Would they get sued or something? :/

Ello, Huge Harry Potter Fan....EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
