Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Page 3

Lord of the Mark · 10-13-2006, 11:08 PM

I belive that Ron will die, because he's always wanted to be better then his brothers and he will prove he is by saving Harry. That's just what I think, not sure about the other one though...

klatukatt · 10-19-2006, 12:34 AM

I REALLY want Harry to die, but NOOOOO. bloody.

Menelvagor · 10-22-2006, 11:12 PM

If Harry is going to receive help from an already-dead character it's going to be Sirius, because that mirror needs to come back (we've been waiting for that for three books now and Harry hasn't remembered it yet, so it's got to come out soon). Some combination of Sirius's mirror and Dumbledore's portrait will give Harry enough guidance that it won't seem too easy, but still allow all of it to come down to Harry in the end. And yeah, a Weasley's going to die.

In book Seven I really expect Harry to come into his own as an adult sort of.

Kind of like it would have been a cheap cop out to bring back and/or contact Sirius in the 6th book? Yet, everyone believed that would happen.

Can't forget about Ginny either. Honestly though, I'd be rather dissappionted if JKR turned this book into a romance novel. Doubt that'll happen though, she's too smart for that.

Anyway, I'm tired and lazy...so I haven't read past the post that I quoted...anyone got any reliable info. on who RAB is? Everyone's pretty much decided that he's Regulus...but I'd still like to know.

I just want the book to come out.

I want the mirror to be a Ron/Harry thing. You know, James and Sirius had them, it seems fitting that Ron and Harry should have them. I stick to my thinking that if Sirius came back in almost any way, shape, or form it's going to be a cheap cop out. I honestly don't know how helpful D's pic. is going to be. It is only a picture. I mean, we've seen how helpful Phineas is...was.

I think I don't want Harry to die. At the end of most books of this nature (LOTR for example) the hero, the one who is the most changed, either dies or goes off someplace else. I want to see how the person who is the most changed, the most damaged, who's life has always been defined by someone else picks up the peices and moves on.

Wouldn't it suck if Ginny was the Weasly to die? I think more than one Weasly will die. Infact, book 7 will be a homicide fest.

This is such a cool "trick"! You tend to wonder how she comes up with all the intertwining detail and complex storytelling....writing tricks!

Just as many artists have some tricks up their sleeves to add layers of interest to paintings.....I bet authors do too. Coming up with a key moving chapter.....that flows easily, with purpose.....like water after a storm, then filling in the blanks just makes it all seem "do-able"....exciting!

If someone heroically pulls a peice of magic out of their sleeve...late in life, I'm torn between Petunia, trying to protect her family when Harry's protection wears off...and that nasty caretaker at Hogworts w/the cat doing something desperate to protect the school......

I wonder about Dobby and the house elves....that's all....I just wonder.

I like the sound of Book 7's title. Very Gothic.

cee2lee2 · 12-21-2006, 11:21 PM

Just makes me more frustrated that it's not ready yet to read

Lady Ravyn · 12-22-2006, 06:44 PM

ARGH!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

july... in july it will be here, precioussssssss...
oops! wrong book reference!

klatukatt · 12-24-2006, 02:24 AM

July it is then?

Excellent. Finally we can get this whole thing over with.

I like the title as well.

Lizra · 12-24-2006, 11:09 AM

July? Dang! Right around the corner!

The last sane person · 12-24-2006, 08:29 PM

Oh god forbid. Well, at least it'll be over and done with.

***Rían*** · 12-27-2006, 03:14 AM

ooh, nice title .... 0.o

***azalea*** · 01-01-2007, 07:55 PM

I can't decide if I think the title refers to a place (my first thought) or people/ ghosts or some such.

BTW, book 7 release date has not been even hinted at by JKR or publishers. July is wishful thinking (IOW, I wish!); the latest speculation I've heard is perhaps Halloween (due to the book title).

Lizra · 01-01-2007, 10:52 PM

I thought July seemed awful soon!

I think of Godrics Hollow being the starting point, and then with maybe Harry experiencing some of the strange versions of death in Potterverse and coming back to help with major changes that will ultimately occur in the wizarding world.....

You know, I'm disappointed that Quidditch has been axed basically since the fourth book. It seems like the fun little details that made the earlier books so awesome have been benched. Or maybe I just miss Quidditch, because it's wonderful. I love reading about Quidditch.

[QUOTE=Nurvingiel]OMG Snape is Harry's father.

How could Snape be Harry's father if Harry looks like James with Lilly's eyes? Just wondering.
Any way can't wait for the new book to come out. I think its going to be interesting to see how JK works things out. Also I think she has this whole letting little things slip out to entice the fans. It should be amazing.

oh that makes more sense

Serenoli · 01-25-2007, 01:21 PM

[I'm replying to an older post here, about the significance of Godric's Hollow]

Its not just the fact that his parents lived at godirc's Hollow (and were ever so rich) that makes me firmly convinced that Harry is definitely related to Godric Gryffindor. After all, think about it. The village name, the fact that Harry pulled out the sword from the hat, and Dumbledore said 'only a true Gryffindor could have done that'. That has an ambigious meaning, after all, he could mean either Gryffindor in the sense of belonging to the house, or Gryffindor in the sense of being related.

Then there's the fact that Voldemort and Harry are bitter enemies, and Gryffindor and Slytherin, too, were enemies. (The fact that they were initially best friends is paralleled by how similar Harry and Tom Riddle are, outwardly and by circumstances). They are both the last living descendants of G and S. Those two had a conflict over the whole 'pure-blood' question, and the conflict was never resolved. Now Harry and Voldemort are fighting over the same conflict, and according to the prophecy will end the conflict, more or less. And if by any chance Voldy knew that Harry is descended from G, it explains why he went for Harry, not Neville.
