what quote in book 1?

I thinkwe talked about the locked door in the DoM before- we decided it was full of love, right?

yer, at least thats what dumbledore says.

Since when has Dumbledore told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This love thing could be a simple teaser until a final explaination is in the offering. As so often is the case.

Everyone's predicting that the power which Harry had which will help him against Voldie is love. Then surely, chances are that J K Rowling will put Harry down as having another power. Anyways, she has already used the power of love, and now Voldie has overcome it. Although Harry has the love of all his friends around him.

OK, this thread is way too long to look at it all, so I'm not sure if this has been voiced before, but i think the books are getting worse and worse.... plot wise it's fine, but as far as the characters are concerned, the changes are pretty implausible, eg harry's sudden urge to shout at everyone including his best mates, ginny's willingness to go out with seemingly every bloke in Harry's class, and Hermione suddenly becoming an 'agony aunt', knowing everything there is to know about love and talking to a girl...

I think J K Rowling has not done the book any favours by attempting to add another dimension to the characters.... the 5th book seems a detachment to all the previous ones, the changes in the characters are too apparent...

How unrealistic would it be if after all the hardship and tragedy Harry has had in his life, he was as cool and calm as a cucumber. He has to let out his stress and anger at someone, and he does itto those who care about him. I hope that he might grow out of it, and concentrate on keeping sane enough to defeat Voldie. Well, for his birthday, his friends could always send him a punching bag.

How long do you think the actual fight between the order and probably DA against deatheaters and Voldie last at the end ofbook 7? I mean, surely there might be several different fights. I still expect Neville to get his revenge on Bellatrix. Mabe there'll be another separation of the order and DA, with a 2nd separation b/w harry and the rest of DA at the end.
I hope that a cure is found for Neville's parents at the end of the series, so they would understand all that Neville's done to help.

Ahha. The door that can't be unlocked. The one Dumbledore says contains a power Voldemort can't understand. That of love. This should be the cure for the Longbottoms. I think it would be nice to have that final showdown. After all, I think the best part of book 5 was the duelling between the Death Eaters and the Order. Don't be too surprised if the Longbottoms are sane again by the end of book 6.

i'm actually kinda hoping harry will die- make for an interesting twist so we won't actually know what happens like with all childrens series.

i was watching it's a wonderful life recently... do you know what mr. potter's first name was??? harry! does neone else think the name's symbolic or is it just coincidential?

True, I'd love for the longbottoms to be sane and to see them back in the order as aurors. Then maybe as a family, including Neville, using the power of love as well, they can defeat Bellatrix.

Wasn't at home most of the weekend and had work today so have lots of catching up to do...

...want to read it all now (must...resist...urge! *gasp*) but must not allow myself to get sucked in (went to bed a wee bit too late last night so I'll try and get up there before midnight tonight)

There'll probably be another 5 pages by the time I get a chance to come on and sift through everything!

This might have alreadybeen mentioned, but Dumbledore wouldn't have been able to kill Voldie anyways would he, cos onlyHarry can kill Voldie. But Voldie didn't know this right, becausehe hadn't heard this part of the prophecy. So when Dumbledore was talking about afate worse than death, was he bluffing to make sure that Voldie didn't realise that Dumblydore couldn't kill him, or did he really mean there being a fate worse than death. Also, we've always heard about people who have their soul sucked out by dementors, and walking around like zombies, but not dead. Is this the fate he's talking about? You're not dead but your not really alive.

I can't remember too clearly, but wasn't the fate worse than death something like that which Harry is already experiencing? Eg: growing up without parents, not knowing he was a wizard, low acceptance? *shrugs* The dementor thing sounds about right too though. I'm confused. What is a fate worse than death Ms. Rowling?
