The Official Harry Potter thread (SPOILERS - NO tags)

[wendybeth]

I think this should be a no-spoiler thread. Like I said, if you haven't read it yet, then avert your eyes.

JK, bless her, is just a bit disingenuous. She has also said that she hasn't finished the LOTR, but come on- does anyone believe that? Her books, while wonderfully imaginitive and engrossing, owe a hell of a lot to Tolkein's. ANd while we're on the subject- Peter Pettigrew as Gollum.....any ideas? I've a few, but I need to check a few things before presenting them.

There are many reasons that I think Dumbledore is not dead, and I will post them tomorrow, as I really am wiped out tonight. (I worked all day, then came home, cooked dinner then painted the foyer and hallway, which have vaulted ceilings). I will say that this is not wishful thinking, as initiallly I saw the logic in his death and knew from his statement about Nicholas Flamel that he did not fear it. Remember, Dumbledore has, so far, not been wrong- especially in his estimation of others. Also, he has (repeatedly) told Harry of the redemptive (and superior) power of love, which Voldie could never understand. It applies to more than just Harry........
