Really? I hate that ending becuase it is not an ending in my opinion. But still. The fifth book is indeed 38 chapters long, and....JKR HAS SAID IT WILL BE AT THE PUBLISHERS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *happy dance* Okay, so it'll be about 5 months everyone. That's the recent news.

I mean have you seen some of the matchups? I think my favorite ones right now are h/d and hr/r

I love H/D! YAY! I hate H/Hr. But i very much doubt there will be any H/D in the actual books. JKR wouldn't traumatise all those innocent young minds out there, imagine the films...or don't. *smacks self for distubing ppl* But ypu're right, some of the fanfic match ups are getting to be wrong. Sick and wrong. *mind wanders to LM/HP and F/G....nooooooo*

Ahem. 5 months

I wouldn't mind a huge book. It'd give us something to read while we wait another five years for book 6 .

You hit the nail right on the head, CEDRIC, I don't think Harry is going to go any where NEAR Cho.

TwirlingString · 11-12-2002, 08:33 PM

Okay, I give up what F/G and notice the way the opinions are. You DIDN't say that ss/hp was the worst.

***IronParrot*** · 11-12-2002, 08:39 PM

There is no way Harry's going to get anywhere near what he wants with Cho. If anything, it just wouldn't work simply on the basis of Cedric's death. That kind of thing never works and never will.

Also. There is no way Dumbledore is evil. Those of you who think he is? I think you guys are weighing a meticulous (mis)interpretation of ONE LINE in the book against ALL logical sense in the saga... and despite the fact that the books get twisty sometimes, I think logical sense wins this battle.

you are indeed correct, Sween. Christmas is 2 moNths away. However, the publisher's website, www.bloomsburymagazine.com/harrypotter/ states that after submission to the publisher, it still takes another 5 monthes for a book to hit the shelves. By my count, this makes the wait nearly 7 months.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh i see

Elfmaster XK · 11-17-2002, 02:58 PM

At least we have a release date! So who do you all think she's going to kill then? She said a bad death that she didn't enjoy writing, as it was one of her fav. characters! I'm anxious now that it might be one of the twins! I really hope it's not, that would be so sad, because it would destroy the other twin too. However, most people think it will be Hagrid. Any opinions? Anyone else read about this?

Sween · 11-17-2002, 03:22 PM

if you kill one of the twins you got to kill them both. Hadgrid would be a good one could be killed by them nasty giants.

i really dont have a clue who they will kill off. I think she was running out of hagrid story lines as well.

You can pretty sure that ron and harmoine will not be killed as well. could be someone like nevill.

Lief Erikson · 11-17-2002, 04:33 PM

No, not Neville. He's still got too much background and storyline involving him for him to die. Hagrid would be the logical choice, or one of the twins (It doesn't have to be both).

Elfmaster XK · 11-18-2002, 01:03 PM

As long as it's not Draco i don't care

Nah, only kidding, i don't think he's a character particularly loved by JK, and so she wouldn't have a tough time killing him. Anyway, i really don't want Fred or George to die, because think of the suffering it would cause the other one. However, it is possible, because it's their last year there, so after this they go out of the story a bit into the background like Percy, Bill, and Charlie. It would be upsetting for everyone!

I think HaGRID is a good choice because he's played a large part in Harry's life up to now, when he had no one like that to care for him before, and JK has said before now that Hagrid is one of her fav. charas. So...*shrugs* Dunno, makes sense. I do think by book 7 Harry will be dead. Poor kid.

What can i say, i'm a cynical kinda gal, and i think harry should die in the end. I love him cause he's harry, but i still think he'll die! A happy ending would be nice i guess though!

Sween · 11-18-2002, 01:44 PM

i personally think we will get 'harry potter the college years'

Lief Erikson · 11-19-2002, 01:44 AM

I have another reason I've thought of why Dumbledor isn't likely to be bad.

I think he's too obvious. Most fans I think have now considered the possibility, whether they heard the rumor from someone else or thought it up on their own. Scabbers and Quirrel weren't very likely to be suspected at all. Moody and Riddle were also rather unlikely, but perhaps more guessable than the other two.

I agree.

That, Sween is exactly why i want him to die. I don't want JK to suddenly decide after seven books she needs to add more to her billions of pounds, and write another book, that will be crap, but the fans will buy it anyway...gah! I hate it when they do that, it's just mean. So yeah, sorry Harry, but DIE!!!

Dumbledore may or may not be evil. But whichever he is, i think he will be dead by the end of the series...yes, if i had my way lots of people would end up dead. It's my lioking for dark fiction. But still, JK has said before now that the series has its dark and light points. So far the books have got slowly darker...so is it getting worse?

BeardofPants · 11-20-2002, 02:24 PM

I've heard rumours that she might be writing a couple more books. I'm with you on this XK, it would probably be a case of overkill.

***IronParrot*** · 11-20-2002, 03:39 PM

I don't think those rumours have any basis, unless they refer to more "supplementary" books like the existing Quidditch Through The Ages and Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. (I personally wouldn't mind seeing a copy of Charm Your Own Cheese...)

Lief Erikson · 11-20-2002, 05:19 PM

I think J.K. Rowling might do something unexpected and make Dumbledor live

. He might get wounded in the last battle, but I just can't see him dying and Harry Potter taking his place as headmaster.
