Harry Potter really did change fiction forever. As for the next book being leaked, I really doubt it. I can remember when the last book was "leaked" I read the whole thing (rather poorly written) and it was so far off the actual book it wasn't funny. Looking foward to this one though.

 

 

 

And here is a fun fact, the verylast chapter of book 7 has already been written ;) Saw it on an interview of Rowling the other day :D

Grawp is Hagrid's baby half-brother, who happens to be a giant. Hagrid brings him back to Hogwarts when he returns from trying to get the Giants to come to the good side..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow this just showed me how much I don't remember...which book? I'm startin to remember something about Giants..I think it was the same book with that reporter..book 4?

Nope, it was the last book, Order of Phoenix.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there is no way Harry is done with Cho. Built up the girls character over 3 books and then dump her? Why? Who is Harry gonna make the 'I always loved you' speech to at the end of book 7? (it will happen!) Hermione? Heck no! She's Rons! Who's left? One of the Patil twins? Or maybe Harry will prefer a bit of Dean? Not in a kids book. She has 2 books left to create a new female character, or build up another one to a point where the audience will give a damn about her. Not enough time, she might as well stick with Cho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last chapter of book seven was written soon after (or half way through) the first book - she'd had the plot outlines written almost as soon as she thought of the series. I saw an interview where she said that they were all kept in a safe at her house - apparently her daughters friends kept trying to sneak into it when they came round. How old is her daughter now anyway? :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, Harry will kill Voldemort, but in a sick reversal of what happened to Harry and his mother, Harry will go via Bellatrix Lestrange (or however she's spelt). The protection of her love for Voldemort will save Voldemort's life, and kill Harry. Then Neville finishes ole' Voldemort off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can almost guarentee that the final part will be something to do with Neville, and fact, I'd put money on it. But I won't until I've read HPB to see if there's anymore clues.

well I might be comin to the midnight release of book 6 at the local books-a-million. theres gonna be coke and cake etc. should be fun. I'll just be in the corner some where starting the book :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I see a lot of people talking about neville being a hero, I never really thought about it but they're probably right. With his parents being aurors (i think they are :? ) and all he would prolly do something great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I see Ron or maybe Fred and George, one the Weasley's getting rich. Maybe Fred and George getting rich from their joke stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JK might also have to make a big book after book seven to tell what happened to everyone :lol: There's so many side plots and characters that she would need at least another 300 pages just to say what happened to them.

Mayjest, there is no way Harry will get back together with Cho. Apart from the obvious clues in the book, Rowling herself has said that Harry is done with her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for other female characters - Ginny? Luna? Are you forgetting these?

 

 

 

Not that I think he'll end up with either of these. It'll be a new character or no-one at all.

 

 

 

He doesn't have to find love, y'know. Although, Rowling did say something along the lines of him having some romance..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the whole Bellatrix Lestrange protection whatever, I beleive that kind of thing would only work when a mother sacrafices herself for her son, or at least a very close family member..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't doubt that Neville will have something to do with the ending, but I don't think he'll be the one to finally do-in Voldemort.. I'm reasonably sure I saw something in book 5 that said it was certainly Harry the prophecy was talking about, not Neville..

Mayjest....As for other female characters - Ginny? Luna? Are you forgetting these?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for saying it first, gosh. :D

No way. It's obviously going to be Ginny, though Luna would be interesting!

Actuly to me it looked that it was leaning towards Luna.Just cause she is compleatly new, and on the scean. And it was like she was coming onto him in an odd way in one or conversations.

Yea im gonna read the 6th, i just read the 5th so the storyline should be right in my mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW I am very interested in what Cho Chang will look like on the big screen....Chinese? i dunno but she must be good looking.....hopefully :D

Snape goes back to the dark side but saves Harrys life when him and Malfoy have a fight to the death. One of Luna's weirdo creatures turns out to be true and kills Dumbledore. Harry dies by Voldemont but Voldemont also dies by Harrys step mother who is really a witch. Done and done.

 

I think Dumbledores gonna do something dodgy. There have been a couple of hints in the last few books (normally right that the very end) which suggests he might not be all he seems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For instance, while Potter recounts how Voldemort came back, Dumbledore has something like triumph in his eyes. Read the book to get the exact wording.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And neville is far too obvious. It's blatently gonna be Cho, right when he's on a date with her. One that he doesn't screw up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats exactly what I thought when I read it. I read it over and over it was so out of character.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I caught that little "triumph" bit too. But I think it just means that Voldemort is going to find some unfortunate side-effects to putting Harry's blood in him. It's too good for him, or somethin like that. Like a woman taking Viagra. Who knows what could go wrong!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm definitely looking forward to the sixth book, but I think I have to re-read the fifth, at least. It took me ten minutes to remember who Luna is, and I still only dimly remember her.

I agree Volfan...I wonder what Cho Chang looks like on the big screen, she better be good looking too! If its some ugly girl, I'll be very disappointed in HP :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for Uldric, you obviously aren't a big fan of Harry Potter! What you are saying just makes no sense at all/sounds rediculous. If that actually happened, I'm sure the world will rebel against Rowling to re write it or something :lol:

 

 

 

So Snape goes back to Voldermort, but then saves Voldermort's worst enemy? Ok...

 

 

 

One of Luna's creatures kills the arguably strongest Wizard that ever lived, just like that? :lol: Lol.

 

 

 

And finally, Harry dies by Voldermort, which is reasonable, but then you say Voldermort dies by Harry's step mother? LOL. He doesn't have a step mother! I think you meant aunt. And this won't happen for 2 main reasons. Aunt Petunia could never kill Voldermort, even if she was a witch, which JK Rowling has said she is a muggle, she wouldn't have used magic for years, and would obviously not be very good at it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funny kid!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for Harry's love interests, I think it's Ginny or Luna for sure. I can't make up my mind which tho. It'll be kinda pointless brining in a new character, or putting him with someone so clueless, like a Patil. Ginny and Luna have just shared several of Harry's experiences, and they have something large in common. Whoever he dates tho, will have an experience with Voldermort themselves.

We can always dream though can't we? :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever the ending of the whole series is to be, I'm sure there are going to be alot of people who are going to think it is anti-climatic, so my reasoning to what I put was that that was what I want to happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going to finish re-reading the books tonight.

I just saw the trailer for the Goblet of Fire and I'm asking one question to myself...What's with the hair now?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I'm a bit confused on the realease date of the Half Blood Prince, when does it come out for the U.S.???

July 16th in Canada, same thing for the US I believe.

 

 

 

I pre-ordered it at the mall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe Dumbledore will die.

Wyrm - the prophesy just states that either Harry kills Voldemort, or Voldemort kills harry. It doesn't say that the only person who could kill Voldemort is Harry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, Voldemort could kill Harry, and then be killed by someone else. Nevilles the only one of the 'minor' male characters that actually has some subplot, so I think he's gonna be a bit more important than we think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I refuse to believe that Harry is done with Cho. Apparently they're using the Chinese looking girl from neighbours. Not a clue if they are, but I saw a picture of her in the paper. There is no way they are wasting that with just a simple mistletoe kiss.

I don't think the people making the movies know any more than we do. It's not like you can guess the plot by looking at who they get to play certain parts. They're guessing just like we are. And they're changin so much carp around anyway, the book could have Harry ending up with Ginny and the movie could put him with Cho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I firmly believe Harry is done with Cho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that, I agree with what you said. But I doubt Harry will end up dead. People don't do that in kid's books. You realize there's only about four swears in the entire five-book series? An author who refuses to make Harry swear when he gets off on one of his shoutin matches certainly isn't going to kill the main character.

This is pretty funny clip of J.K. Rowling signing the first book and sending it to New York

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:The book doesn't look as long as the Order of the Pheonix and they are obviously very protective over it :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT:Just found out it is 672 pages but what i don't get is the different covers for UK edition and US edition and US Deluxe but I have always known that they have been different just wondering why

Lol impecable logic. I cant wiat for it to come out the 16th. I am getting it at 12:01 and plan on finishing it by 5am. :)

True, but think about Cedric's and Sirius' death, both with pretty-much no foreshadowing. Sirius was definitely a very prominent character. According to your logic the only people who'd die would be people nobody knew/cared about.

ya jkr does love to throw a few twists at us to keep us on our toes. I just liked the coment on harry swearing. I would think it was hilarious if in the next book someone gets cussed out, but thats just me :P.

Yes, I agree with you there Greatsilverwyrm........

Heh a store accidentally sold 14. I read it in the newspaper. The judge ordered them to return the books for the time being and not tell anyone what they read :lol:

ROFL was watching the 11 o'clock news last night:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(not exact wording)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In other news, a bookstore in British Columbia sold 10 books of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when an employee accidentally put them on the shelf.
