Stop clattering up the thread, you two! Wat's ths i'm hearng now.....

jammi567 · 09-27-2006, 05:39 AM

Please look at the new chapter, as i doesn't seem to be as popular now as the other six have been.

**Nurvingiel** · 09-28-2006, 04:19 AM

That's too bad, because I think Durinsbane did a great job. Maybe people are just busy right now, but they'll show up.

jammi567 · 09-28-2006, 05:26 AM

Totally agree with you there. i don't want to be hard on the other chapter summoners (including myself.......) but it's true.

jammi567 · 10-05-2006, 02:35 AM

Has anyone seen ireth lately?

Serenoli · 10-05-2006, 12:27 PM

No, I haven't seen her for a while. Is she due to do the next chapter? You could PM her about it, see if she responds.

jammi567 · 10-05-2006, 04:03 PM

i have and she hasn't.

jammi567 · 10-06-2006, 12:23 PM

quick question. did anyone do the WOMBAT grade two test on J.K's offical site? because guess who got an outstanding on it.

Ireth · 10-06-2006, 01:59 PM

Hey, sorry for being gone, people. I'm here and I'll do chapter 8, come Saturday.

jammi567 · 10-06-2006, 03:07 PM

that's alright. just so long as you do post your chapter on time, and take part on some of the diacussion on it.

Following the release of the sixth Harry Potter book, rumors have been abuzz concerning the identity of RAB, the mysterious character who left a note in the cave in the novel's closing chapters. So far, JK has remained relatively tight-lipped on the subject, although she said Regulus Black, Sirius' brother, was a "fine guess" in the MN/TLC interview last summer. Subsequently, "Arcturus" was suggested by fans as the late Death Eater's middle name after the name of a certain star.

Now, the Portuguese HP translator, Isabel Nunes, has reportedly confirmed this in an interview with a Portuguese fan site. Apparently, before Book 6 hit shelves, she contacted Jo about the character's gender, and was told the full name as well as the gender. Her reason for shedding light on the topic at this point is to "keep awake" the excitement for the seventh book. In the past, Nunes also clarified that Blaise Zabini is a man and Professor Sinistra is a woman.

While Nunes would not make this up, my hesitation lies on whether or not she actually said it. I'm assuming the translators are obligated to sign a confidentiality contract pertaining to the discussion of classified information. For the moment, take it - as always when the news doesn't come from Jo - with a pinch of salt and we'll update you when we have more (though, I personally hope JK doesn't comment so as to keep us wondering).

jammi567 · 10-13-2006, 02:17 AM

come on people. is this new chapter too boring for you or what?

Serenoli · 10-14-2006, 07:54 AM

Wow, Jammi, you got an Outstanding? Cool... I got an Exceeds Expectations.

jammi567 · 10-14-2006, 10:41 AM

i'm so good, i know.

jammi567 · 10-17-2006, 04:55 AM

come on people, lets do some more discussion for this chapter. this is the poorest chapter done so far.

jammi567 · 10-17-2006, 12:00 PM

Serenoli has offered to do both chapters 9 and 10 at once. i've agreed to this, and so this means that the dates have gone back to what they were before the loooooooooooooooooooong delay ages ago now.

jammi567 · 10-17-2006, 12:08 PM

Terry Gilliam, the acclaimed director Warner Bros. turned down for Sorcerer's Stone, said in a new interview that he has no intention to direct either Movie 6 or 7, debunking previous rumors that he would. "Warner Bros. had their chance the first time around, and they blew it. It's a factory job, that's what it is, and I know the way it's done. I've had too many friends work on those movies. I know the way it works, and that's not the way I work."

Gilliam went on to discuss what his Potter movie would have been like:

"Alfonso Cuaron's [Prisoner of Azkaban] is really good, but the first two I thought were just bad. They missed the whole point of it; they missed the magic of it... Alfonso did something much closer to what I would've done."

Using technology designed to make solid objects vanish from sight, a team of US and British scientists have built the world's first cloaking device. It works like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky.

However, David Smith, who led the experiments, said: "It's not yet clear that you're going to get the invisibility that everyone thinks about with Harry Potter's cloak or the Star Trek cloaking device."

"The cloak reduces both an object's reflection and its shadow, either of which would enable its detection."

Serenoli · 10-21-2006, 09:32 PM

I have posted chapters 9 and 10.

Everyone take a look! And can someone stick it up?
