Hey everyone,
This is for anyone who wants to talk about the new book, and so I know what threads may contain spoilers before I've finished it (:
So yes, discuss what you think is going to happen, and when you're done reading feel free to discuss :p

I'm still stumped on what could happen. All I know is Dumbledor will not retunr. His death has freed Harry. With Dumbledor gone, Harry is no longer safe from You Know Who and thus, Harry must leave and find/kill Voldemort before he finds/kills Harry. I would absoulutly love for Sirius to return and for Snape (who I once liked) to die a slow and painful death; after all he killed Dumbledor! evil

I think that Snape will die, the Malfoy family will survive and Draco may become the new snape (trade sides...sort of) and that Harry will survive and become the new DADA professor after becoming an auror (:

Aww, how can someone not like Snape? He's evil and always has been. Dumbledore should never have trusted him...the old fool. Snape was always working for the Dark Lord, although I somehow see him dying to save Potter in the end. (I hate the very thought, but it seems somehow plausable)

Now that you mention it, I can see Snape saving Harry in the final battle. Something heroic yet still in character. But then again, saving Harry seams too out of character for him. The fan base for Harry Potter is split 50-50 with Snape. Some want him dead, some want him alive. Others think he is friend while the rest think he is foe. It's hard to say how Rowling feels. It's controverial, after all Snape was on the good side (or so we thought) in the first few books. He was tough on Harry, yes, but he somehow was still on his side, like in Sorceror's Stone, he was anti-Voldemort and had it out for Proffessor Quirell. But then in Half-Blood Prince, ghe goes and kills Dumbledor, the one man who trusted him. But then again, the Sanpe issue is only a part of all the pieces to the end of the series. After all, there are some relationships hanging in the balance, Harry's Life, Voldemorts's life. Rowling did mentioin somewhere after book five that she was planning to kill of three more characters. Dumbledor is gone, who are the remining two? Then there is alo little mister Draco Malfoy, what of him? And what of Harry... should he survive? Will he return to Number 4, Privet Drive, does he find some distant Potter Relitive? Or will he maybe not survive? All those loose ends and issues hanging in the air after book six, Rowling had her work cut out for her. I wonder if she ever imagined book one to turn into this. And to think, this all started on a cafe' napkin. blaugh (Sorry, I rambled sweatdrop )
Is anyone going to the midnight party at Barnes an Noble? I feel alone out in Blackstone Valley. Send me a shout, I"m looking for HP fans to hang with at the party in Millbury.

One, what I've always thought of as a, major plothole was this: If Harry can remember the green flash and words of his dying parents, why couldnt he see the Thestrals untill after Cedric died?
I really dont want to read that both Lily and James are ok, and that after defeating the Dark Lord Harry finds them and lives happily ever after. (in fact, I dont want him to live at all.)
But I think that this is a pretty big plothole, has anyone else ever noticed that? Or is there a simple explination that I'm just not getting?
(Yay, MuggleFest in Maine! Sorry I cant join you in Barnes and Noble redneck.)
And please, if anyone sees a Death Eater walking around in broad daylight, dont hurt them. 'cause they'll attack you back!

Well.... in the books, he was lying in his crib sleeping, the screams woke him and all he saw was the flash, not his parent's dying. The movies have him sitting up in his crib. So technically he didn't see death untill Cedric.
That's what I feel. I thought the same thing back during book five when he first saw the creatures.

I fished the book yesterday as well. It was decent, but I wish they told us what Harry's career ended up being and if Kingsly was still the MoM. Also, did anyone else gather that he never told his kids anything about what happened?

I rather enjoyed the book. I finished it yesturday. However... I do envy my friend Mike who is only just past the wedding. That was the good day... still early in the book over 600+ pages left to read. And then before you know it... BAM! Your reading the faithful words "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.
The deaths made me very sad... mainly Fred's. After all... there was no reason for him to die. I already wrote up a nice rant about the final chapter in my GaiaJournal. It was such a fanfiction. I had designed something like that once in my head after a discussion online after the sixth book. Too bad I never wrote it... it would of been totaly awsome. But still, who here thinks Rowling should of but more effort inot the ending? After all... where is Teddy living? What of McGonagall? What of the rest of the Weasley family? ETC.... And the children's names for the Potter's was kind-of cute... and also lame. I would of been totaly flamed on fanfiction.net for a move like that.

J.K. Rowling gave an interview after the book came out.
Times Herald-Record For anyone who finished the final Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" wondering, perhaps, what Harry's career ends up being, who Victoire is, who ends up being the headmaster at Hogwarts, J.K. Rowling has all the answers. And she's sharing them. “It would have been humanly impossible to answer every single question that comes up,” she told Meredith Vieira Thursday on "Today," “Because, I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great, great grandparents.” She didn't share that level of detail, but she offer some closure, revealing that both Harry and Ron Weasley "revolutionized the Auror Department" at the Ministry of Magic. Harry, she added, makes occasional stops at Hogwarts to lecture in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Hermione Granger, who was asked by the compromised minister of magic in book 7 whether she intended to become a lawyer, does just that, rising through the ranks in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. As many might have guessed by the oh-so-French name, Victoire is the first child of Bill and Fleur (implying there are more). Rowling imagines Luna Lovegood fulfilling a worldwide wanderlust and -- having once flat out denied the possibility -- now admits that Luna and (professor) Neville Longbottom could in fact have a romantic connection. And having also noted in earlier interviews, the character she claims she intended to kill in book 5, "The Order of the Phoenix" was Ron's dad, Arthur Weasley. "I couldn't bear to kill him," she admitted. And for those readers who found chapter 34, when Harry enters the forrest to face Voldemort once and for all, difficult to read, Rowling understands. It was extremely difficult to write, she says -- the most difficult of all the chapters in the seven books. "I had this enormous explosion of emotion and I cried and cried and cried," she said. And while ending the series was also sad, it was also a bit of a relief. “It was this amazing cathartic moment – the end of 17 years’ work,” Rowling said of finishing the series, adding that Harry will "always be a presence in my life, really.” Rowling has said previously that she is content taking a break for now, but that eventually writing a Harry Potter encyclopedia is likely.
