I think Fred would be a good guess.

(And Ron destroyed the locket.)

I was quite happy with how things were wrapped up in this book. I was really afraid that it would be too devastating emotionally but even with all the deaths I was okay though sad. But the aftermath of Dobby's death was the saddest part of the book and that really got to me.

Right you are it was Ron.

There's something about the scene where Ron having just destroyed the locket is standing there in the tent before Hermionie with the sword. *Sigh*

If J.K. Rowling is like the rest of us humans, she would have cried her eyes out after killing Dobby.

And yep, loved the scene where Ron destroys the locket horcrux and that aftermath.

I really hope the movie version has the wherewithal to show us the counterpart scene where Hermoine destroys the Cup Horcrux.

But, huh? Gryffindor has a Sword, and Slytherin has a .... locket??? WTF?

Oh, and why is Ravenclaw's mascot an eagle, and not a raven?

And why is Gryffindor's mascot a lion and not a gryffin? Hogwarts is messed up!

I hope Rowling doesn't continue the series somehow. I also home Scholastic doesn't try to continue it after she's dead.

I would have liked to have seen a cool Muggle be some sort of hero in the HP stories. She discussed equality between Goblins and Wizards and Elves etc but dissing Muggles was rampant.

I read today that she might compile an encyclopedia, filled with all her copious notes on the characters and such that were omitted from the books. (Such as Dean Thomas's story, which she said is good).

Gemini Cricket · 07-24-2007, 10:26 PM

I guess that wouldn't bother me too much...
But the 'Adventures of Harry's Kids and Dobby's Twin Brother Slobby' would really tick me off.

That would be neat and pretty much the only additional HP book I would like to see her write.

I was hoping Harry really was dead, just so's the series could not continue (as the "Harry Potter" series at any rate) after J.K. shucks this mortal coil.

Oh, and Ginny Weasley was robbed. All that build-up, and then NOTHING. Nothing in the entire book except being the long-distance object of Harry's lovesick affection. Bah.
