The Ultimate Harry Potter Discussion thread ***including Book 6 Spoilers***

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?

I'm wondering how Fred and George's jokes could be used to fight Voldie. Do you reckon that J K Rowling have made to put some humour or will they play an active role in the fight against voldie and the deatheaters?

they're not just jokers, they're inventors too; that might be it- invent something to help stop them

Fred and George are loyal to the cause. Plus Voldemort attacked their father in book 5. Thats even more incentive. They're good eggs through and through. Do you reckon JKR will kill one of them off though? Perhaps in a mass duel?

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.

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...

I think in the end, there wont be anyone around but Voldie and Harry, (not saying people are dead or anything) but that they will somehow be seperated to where it is just those two. No friends to help Harry, no Deatheaters to make Voldie feel important. I still think Harry will prevail, but he will come out of there with everyone waiting on breath to see/hear/or know what happened.

Imagine if you were walking around soulless. You're not dead, but yet you're not really alive. You're living andbreathing, but you can'tlive a life. I reckon that that could be a fate worse than death. That was the 1st thing I thought of, but to be honest, it could be anything. I mean, Harry HAS had a lot of pain in his life, but is itworse than death?

Wow, utterly surprising you would say this. Ive said it before, like on page 20 ha ha, like im going to go back and look...... but I too agree with Xenon.......JKR is outstanding at writing how people really are. You can put these characters into anyones shoes. 15 yr olds can be unstable and moody, some think they know everything, and Ginny has only dated one guy, who was from another class (harry was a little girl crush) and is now saying she is interested in someone from her own class. So that really is only one friend because Micheal Corner wasnt anyone they knew. Many teenagers date 3 or 4 different people in one - two years. I think JKR is hitting it right on, in how society is, from adults to the ministry/political realm to the kids. And she is letting the characters grow in the books and change just like they would in real life.

Ok sorry so long but I really wanted to get my point across

i'm still sticking by my theroy that we won't know the outcome. it will just end with harry and volemort fighting. i've already thought of the final sentance.

"and Harry struck Volemort, with a burning pain in his scar".
