A Harry Potter thread to pass the time

Crookshanks is part kneazle, see the last entry on this page.

I wonder if the fab three will ever figure out that Crookshanks is part kneazle. (and thanks Brigitte!)

Look what I found . . .

Link 1

And even better . . .

Link 2

Enjoy!

Ah, I thought 2 was the total body count. Interesting.

[Prudence]

I'm more interested that someone apparently got a reprieve and now isn't dead? That's what I'm assuming. So, who was going to die and now won't?

[Snowflake]

My 2 knuts, 4 sickles and 1 galleon:

Reprieve: Hermione or Ron

Biting it: McGonagall or Snape
Mr. or Mrs. Weasley or Hagrid

I'm not quite sure if Tonks or Lupin would count toward the major characters or not.

Does Harry return to Hogwarts next year if it remains open?

Is Snape still one of Dumbledore's good guys? (I think so) Will there be some other surprise revelation about Snape in the last book?

This does not lessen in any way my complete lack of patience having to wait for the final installment to hit the bricks sometime mid-late 2007.

I think so too. Michael is fairly convinced that Snape is a vampire. I must say, she does often say that he swoops in like a bat, and after he gave Lupin's class the essay about werewolves, Lupin gave them one about vampires.

Hmmm- interesting on the vampire thing- hadn't considered that before. I think Snape is an anti-hero; he's helping Dumbledore, but he's still an asshole. (I think because he had a thing for Lily and felt guilty for helping to bring about her death, blah blah blah...) I also think that Ron is going to bite it in the end- he's got that fatal flaw that I'm almost positive she's going to exploit in the final book. I also think Molly is toast.

I had not considered and missed completely the vampire connection. Yes, Snape is still an asshole. Wonder how Draco will fare in all of this, I think he is toast too, from Voldemort. Snape has no other duty to protect him, as far as I know, with regard to the unbreakable vow. He did what he was supposed to do (and I believe Dumbledore knew it as well) so now that he got Draco out of Hogwarts, obligations in that respect are done.

I'll be very sad if Molly bites it. I'm also wondering if Petunia and the rest of the Dursleys, but Petunia in particular, have anything significant to contribute when Harry returns to Privet Drive for book 7.

So many questions........and most of mine, so trivial
