Also, I've finished it. Anyone else read it? We can speek about the plot. ;)
My first feeling is: :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( for my favourite charakter (not for Potter, I hate that little bastard ;D and hate his SOB father too...).
But HE... :'(
Oh poor man. He was a real hero...
But He goes to the Heaven. (Like Working Class... um, that's another tale. ;D)

Let me guess...Severus Snape?
-
:'(
Of course. He was my favourite charakter. A believable man. Not good and not bad. Colorful (not his clothes) ;D
-
Well, my initial reaction was, "Wow, all those spoilers I heard were such complete bullshit."
And I agree that "He" was the best character of the series. By like... a million miles.
-
He actualy was good all along, just very bitter.
-
Agreed, Snape was the best.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Harry? He's just so bland. Too much of a boy scout.
-

When I said "good" I meant he was good in contrast to evil. He never was evil, just made bad choices, it was his love for Lily is what turned him over to the good side.
And you'd be suprised how many people don't like Harry Potter even though they read the books, I don't understand why people don't like the main character, I actually thought he was a well developed character. And a boy scout? Did you catch the part where he tortured that Death Eater? He has acted out many time on anger. Rowling herself says he is not a saint.
-
I started read it for Snape, Lucius, Remus, Sirius and other male charakters... (I found a lot of fanfics about them, and I wanted to know who these men with strange names are... ;D)
I'm disappointed Lucius survived... :( And poor Lupin and Tonks died. Not to mention Fred... :'( I think Jo watched too much SWs, especially from TSG type, but not enough.
I don't like Harry very much, but I respect him. He's not a superhero, but he's really brave and in the end he became a Man.
But if I wrote it, the final duel were like so:
Harry and the Dark Lord standing like two SW charakters before the final duel, and then would came a lot of flashbacks... and at the end one curse. Voldy dies.
At the very end: Harry watches the bodies of Death Eaters, and he counts: '10,000 Galleons... 15,000... 17,000... 20,000... 22,000...'
(Lucius tried to curse him in the back, but he's faster)
'27,000... All right now.'
>:D

Haha, and I believe it was you who wrote your own version of the beginning of Deathly Hallows, taking ideas from Harmonica's intro at the train station. You should write a fan ficition based on spaghetti westerns.
Yeah I was disapointed when Lucius survived, but he pretty much give up being a Death Eater when he found out Voldemort was going to kill his son, plus his wife helped Harry out in the end.
I was thinking how sweet would it be if Ennio Morricone composed for the movie, that would be super sweet.

The epilogue was waaay lame. I don't care which characters made babies with each other.

I didn't.
The epilogue felt tacked on and cliched.
And what parent, in their right mind, would send their kids off to the most dangerous place in the world?
Did they learn nothing for seven years?

I didn't.

It's not dangerous anymore now that the villian is dead. That was the point of the epilogue, to show everyone who survived has moved on.

You just reminded me of the "AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER" ending. Wow, what a crock.
she even had her own variation of the wording...
"ALL WAS WELL"

"all was well" just means no more Voldemort. Even though they are living a good life, they still have suffered many losses. It also rules out any possiblity of another book.

You just reminded me of Juan Miranda in DYS.
"It's whisky..."
"Thank God for that, huh!"

Yeah the series ended just the way they should. Jo herself says she's done with "Harry Potter" though she will write an encyclopedia for any more loose ends.
I guess I stand alone being a Harry Potter fan though. Oh well ;)
-

Just because one doesn't like every aspect of a series doesn't mean they are not a fan.

A Swedish cop movie.
I think it's called KOPPS. Been trying to track down a copy.

That ****ing crotch-shot (literally) has me dying to see this movie. So good.
-
Yeah, Voldy is dead, and the world became boring. ;D
And when Teddy maries Victoire, the child will be a werewolf-metamorph mage-veela? Uhh. Just imagine, when he/she's in wolf form, will have nice silvery blonde hair, which changes itself to pink or to blue in every moment...
*
FC, this pic ROCKS!
-
Apparently Teddy didn't inherit his father's condition.
-
Yeah. I thought Harry would die. "Happily Ever After" has been used to death. I also think that some of the locations for the horcruxes were lame. If Voldy hadn't made the location of each horcrux so obvious, he'd be alive. Why not make a rock a horcrux and throw it into the sea? Better yet, a lake. Even better would be under some random dude's grave. Like in GBU. You think some one with years experience in dark magic would think up a good location. Oh, well.
-
I also think that some of the locations for the horcruxes were lame.
Yeah you can tell the author conveinently placed them in areas they were easy to get to just to get everything wrapped up within the year it takes place in (which strangely, according to the Potter's grave stones, takes place in 1997!?).
In reality, a hunt like that would have taken years.

Did you read the book Firecracker? And yes it took place summer and fall of 97 and winter and spring of 98.
-
Did you read the book Firecracker?
No apparently I didn't. Voldy hid ANOTHER horcrux in the chamber of secrets. I say "ANOTHER" because there was another Horcrux in the Chamber earlier in the series. Which means he hid two in the same place.
But I must be wrong because I "didn't" read the book
-
The lake was the best hiding place ever, and The Chamber of Secrets is close. Speaking of The Chamber, Ron speaking Parseltongue was stupid. No excuse, just stupid. The Room of Requirement is not a good place. If I were Voldemort, I'd keep it in the Albanian forest. I'm not completely disappointed with the book, though.
-
and The Chamber of Secrets is close.
Yeah but to hide two there is just stupid.
And Ron was an annoying git the whole book.

Ron was just copying what he heard Harry say to the locket. And why would Voldemort put them in Albania? He wanted to put them in place that meant something to him.

There wasn't a horcrux in the chamber, so no you didn't read the book. ;D
-

Who knew Voldy was so sentimental.
-

Didn't Ron and Hermione say they found another Horcrux in the chamber?
either way the books have heavy flaws. Especially the last one.
-

No, they found the fang from the skull of a dead Basilisk in the Chamber, the Horcrux they used it on was found at the Malfoy vault.
-
Who knew Voldy was so sentimental.
In a twisted way yes.
-
Yeah, I still can't get past how he could speak Parseltongue. They should've had it so that Hermione was possesed, then Ron screams "NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO", then he crushes the cup with his foot. It would go along with how love is the greatest magic of all. lol, that's actually pretty stupid.
-
There wasn't a horcrux in the chamber, so no you didn't read the book. ;D
If that's so then I must be getting confused with the locations because I know that he did hide two Horcruxs in HOGWARTS. Which is just as dumb.
Again. A quick ploy to get the timeline to finish within a year just we can have the nauseatingly jolly ending where everything has been "well" for many years.

I just explained it, Ron was imitating Harry when he opened the locket. He just remembers the words.
Using a foot to crush the cup won't destory the soul.
And love just the magic Voldemort never knew because he never had loved or been loved, he was a sick and twisted psychopath who grew more wicked when he split his soul after murdering so many people.
-
I called the fact that Harry would be one of the horcruxes (and Sonny can attest to it) before I started the book, but I was hoping that Harry would have to kill himself and stay dead. :(

Keith Olberman had the same theory a month before the book came out. It's been televised.

Well the foot crush idea was stupid, but whatever.

There was one horcrux and that was the diadem hidden in the room of requirement that Voldemort thought no one would find. There was no other Horcrux at Hogwarts.
-
Ah I remember now. The horcrux was in some place called "the magical room of hiding lost crap".
so you see. two horcruxs were in HOGWARTS.
Bad planning on voldy? Or lazy writing?
-

Well the diary wasn't hidden there, just ended up there thanx to L. Malfoy.

CHAMBER OF SECRETS had the Tom "bombadil" Riddle diary.
And the "room of lost crap" had that thing you mentioned.
Are you going to tell me THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS isn't part of Hogwarts?
-

Well if it's his fault then nevermind.

No the Diary was owned at the Malfoy manner the whole time, but Lucius decided to hide it in Ginny Weasley's cauldron so he can discredit her father. Voldey was pissed when he found out about his diary being destoryed.
-
The diary wasn't hidden there just ended there. Remember?

-

No it's just I'm not a fanatic who can see no fault in the series (I.E. you)
I read each of the books once and in the order in which they were released.
Meaning I read CHAMBER OF SECRETS over 6 years ago. Memory is kinda hazy. Can't remember every little detail.
-
Did you loose a bet or something? Stephan King was laughing about that I heard.
-
Wether Ron copied the sound or not, it's still stupid that he could speak Parseltongue. One of the worst parts of the series.
-

Certainly not. The series is by far the best thing to come out of literature in a long time. In fact, now that the series is over, America can stop reading again.
The series had it's bumps (The entirety of the 5th book, parts of the second, a good portion of the 6th and mis-steps in the last) but overrall it is a good fantasy story.

Is this IMDB (It's been certainly turning into it as of late) ?
I can express a negative opinion without people jumping down my throat right?

Deal with it.
The book, like the series and like ALL series, has it's flaws.

You can't bare to listen anybody who sites it's faults.
Here is a massive one...
CHO CHANG. For three books Harry's feelings for her were hyped up to the extreme. When they finally came together in the 5th book, Rowling provides the ultimate anti-climax.
Their first date, asexual Harry blows it.
Chang is virtually never heard from again for the rest of the series.
Again I don't hold any "pride" on an opinion of a series I'm not overly fanatical about. I said a few negative, and true, comments and you got overly steamed.
Calm down. It's paper.

You've got a point. I probably am missing something. But that doesn't mean it'll change my opinion.

Silly man, Harry only blows his date with Cho Chang because he was tactless. She was still crying about her dead ex-boyfriend and Harry doesn't want to hear any of it. The reason she was never heard of again because her best friend rat out the DA and Harry thought she deserved the jinx on her face, which Hermione has conjured when the members were signing up for the DA. Anyone who is a traitor will get acne across the face spelling "SNEAK" and Cho thought this was rude, and Harry thought it was brilliant, and Cho thinking Harry likes Hermione better storms off and never speaks to him again.

-
What does everybody have against the Fifth book?
I presonally didn't like the first two. Can't remember the third, really, but the last half of the series was darker, and better. The series as a whole was good, but flawed. I didn't mind the ending, but the epilogue was awful.
-
Silenzio, looking at the Olberman thing again it comes to my attention that you two had similar theories but they aren't really the same.
Check it out.

I started, but I accidentally closed it instead of minimizing when I was halfway through the video (had to eat dinner, y'know).
My theory (well, what I wanted to happen) was that Harry would be one of the horcruxes, so the only way he could defeat voldemort would be to kill himself.
What was his?
-
The subplots were enough to amuse me.
The stuff in the Black estate was pretty cool agreed.
And Potter visiting Neville's mother (parent? can't recall) was a neat chapter.
But other than that it didn't sustain my interest. I read it just to finish it.

She is taking a break, but she will come up an encyclopedia to tie up loose ends, and she will write a completly different book.

Think it should be left as is.
With her not willing to make a sequel or spin-off, she will be reduced to making books for learning magical creature language like troll language (Kevin must excel on this! ;D) and others.
Much like Tolkein I suspect.
Could be wrong though, she might pull something else out of the hat.

Well you have the upcoming movies to look forward to. Not sure if your a fan of those. Personally I think everything after 2 can only be enjoyed by those who have read the books.
Maybe the 4th film is the exception. It came close to being a stand alone flick.
-
The films are ok. The first two I liked. The third I hated. The fourth and fifth were okay.

The movies are not great, though in they are going into a better direction, making them more character driven instead of wasting their time with putting in as much subplot as possible, dumbing them down, and the result is a family film full of two dementional characters.
But there will be a book that will tie up any loose end that happened after book 7, she actualy answered alot of unanswered questions.
-
What was his?
He says the final horcrux is Harry's scar. Harry attempts to commit suicide so Vomit-man can perish but Snape explains to Harry that he can remove the Horcrux but it will cost Potter's magical powers/abilities.
Horcrux is removed, Voldy dies and Harry is reduced to forever be a muggle.
Good twist. I like this ending better.

So you got any idea what that baby twitching on the floor, during Harry's wet dream about Dumbledore, was?
Is that a damned soul? Forever to twitch in pain as a fetus?

Still the best way, IMO.
The way she ended it was fine. As soon as I found about the power of the "Deathly Hallows" I knew what the ending would be. But that's more than halfway through the book. So my ending wasn't any more predictable than hers, because I got half of it right, and she made it obvious what the other half was.

I think you've convinced me.
She wouldn't have ended it your way though because the marketing problems that it would cause. Olberman's right I think, if the public knew Potter dies in the 7th book it would seriously affect the box office of the last two films.

Anybody who would be that affected about the death of Harry Potter needs to grow some testicles.

That was Voldemort. He fell subconcious after he killed Harry.

Good theory.

I have to go with FC on the Cho deal. I don't know why they would amp that up for so long just to have it fall flat on its face after one date. Maybe I've forgotten something. Or maybe they did that to be more realistic. But considering the series, I think realism was the last thing on Rowling's mind.

Well the reason behind Cho Chang, is key to Harry's character development.
Cho Chang was a popular girl, athletic, lots of friends, and very pretty. That's the first thing Harry notices about her, and was why he was crushing on her. But despite being famous for being the boy who lived, he couldn't ask a girl out. In OOTP, when Cho takes interest in him, since he was the last person ever to talk to Cedric Diggory her ex, he was in a compartment with friends, Neville, Ginny, and newly introduced, Luna Lovegood. Ginny is cool, but Neville and Luna are very unpopular, and when Cho walked into talk to him, he wished he was in a compartment with cooler kids. After months of chasing after Cho, finally kissing her, they dated briefly and because Cho was confused about her feelings for Harry, getting over her ex's death, and her jealous of his friend Hermione, and Harry's inexperience with girls, the relationship never worked out.
The next year, Harry is again in a compartment with Neville and Luna, only this time he is asked to join a group of girls so he won't have to sit with them. But Harry declines feeling Neville and Luna who aided him in a battle against Death Eaters and Voldemort last year, feeling he is already with the cool kids. This is in complete contrast with how he felt when Cho saw him last year in the same spot.
First girlfriends didn't always work out, Jo wanted Harry's first kiss to be with someone he will not end up being with, the girl she has planned on Harry to fall in love with was Ginny Weasley. And that's the point of Cho, Harry's character development.

That was the piece of Voldemort's split soul embedded into Harry. Because Voldemort split his soul into so many pieces he will spend eternity in limbo as 8 different forms of a deformed baby. Pretty messed up.

Will this be explained in the upcoming book?

Um no, it was already explained in the last two books.

Where? Dumbledore says not to worry about it and that is the last we hear of it.
If Harry knows what it is why does he ask Dumbledore about it?

He pretty much caught on with it afterwards. And Rowling confirmed that's what it was.

Oh and by the way, Harry's scar was not a horcrux, it was his body, the scar was just a mark left by the curse that failed to kill him, and he will have it for the rest of his life.
-

I never said it was. Olberman assumed that would be it.

Awwww, he erased it. What a poor sport. Luckily he comes off as a douche here as well.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I already started the process by blocking you from sending me anymore hate PMs.

I say let's all calm down and try not to hate each other... it's just a web board.

Yes I am aware of that, proving what I told you in my last PM with you.

Oh yes, what was it again?
"your a dick"
"And now you are just being an asshole".
These came out of nowhere.
I did the logical thing. I blocked the troll.
If you don't watch it, you'll be banned for harassing others via PM.
-
No, I let that go awhile ago, what really infuriated me is what you put in your signature. That's why I called you an asshole.

So TB tells me.
You claimed that I was the one who put that up but if you recall it was Silenzio who linked the quote to the thread.
-
I don't believe you guys are still going at it. I have nothing against you two, but this is ridiculous!
-
And you shouldn't it up. If you wanted me to apologize to you, instead of acting like a dick, I would have done so. But now you pulled this crap so now you owe me one as well.
-
Why argue over a book? It's seems kinda stupid, no offense.

This is not about the book anymore, though this is partly my fault, but he decide to be a poor sport about it instead of asking for an apology.
-
1.And you shouldn't it up.
2.If you wanted me to apologize to you, instead of acting like a dick, I would have done so. But now you pulled this crap so now you owe me one as well.
1. I don't know what that means
2. If you assumed that I wanted you to apologise to me then why didn't you do it in the first place instead of acting like a loon?
And the only thing I "owe" to anybody on here is a few dvds which will be sent in the mail shortly.

I wasn't paying much attention, and I thought you'd let it go. But if it really bothered you just confront me about it. I don't pay attention to every single post you make. So come on, PM me and we'll talk about it.

So Rowling says Dumbledore's gay. Interesting note. Bad timing, though. I posted on the ongoing argument. My screen name there's John G. a reference to the mysterious murderer from Memento. Don't ask me why I chose it. I just didn't want to give a real name.

I've been dieing to read this tread... but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting (pretty fun though).
I agree with almost everything FC said. Plus I thought the dream kind of thing (the discussion with Dumbledore) when Harry should have died was soooo stupid and cliched. And it felt like Rowling was on purpose showing all the dark sides of Dumbledore because she suddenly noticed how saint-like character he was. I have mixed feelings about the epilogue... I do care who made kids with whom etc. because I cared for many of the characters. But the way it was written somehow turned me off. That being said, I cried in the end. This was I think the second book that has ever made me cry (the other being LotR, on both readings). But I think it had more to do with the fact that the series was coming to end than the way it ended.

I've been meaning to erase my stupid comments but now that Kevin has left I don't think it would be a good idea to leave his side of the arguement floating there without my posts.

I forgot to say I knew Snape had killed Dumbledore upon Dumbledore's request right after finishing the sixth book.
