harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS
deborah:
maybe it's just the spark of humanity voldemort will need to turn into a force for the good at the end of the series. sort of like a darth vader-redemption thingy.
or maybe harry isn't really the child of james and lily after all. maybe harry is like dawn in buffy and he's the physical manifestation of some wicked ass energy ball that can be used as a key to unlock the hells and loose them on earth.
Aphi:
=laughs= That would be AWESOME.
Or, we could turn it into a soap-opera. Like, maybe, Lil had an affair with Snape, and even though he looks like James, Harry is /really/ a mini-slimeball, and in a fit of realization and righteous rage, blows all the bad guys to smithereens, crying like a two-year-old the whole time.
^^
deborah:
my friend hannah and i used to make up off-color scenarios about the professors love lives while we rode the bus to work.
we had a dumbledore-pomfrey-flitwick love triangle, and trelawney with lockhart (purely for irony's sake, what with the ill-fated thompson/branaugh marriage and all)
i've been poking around some potter fan sites. man do those people take their harry potter seriously.
trolley:
Just finished it. And firstly, le wow. I can't wait for the next one, and at the same time dread it as then it will finally be over which will suck.
A couple of points, that I don't think have really been mentioned before.
1) People keep referring to hogwarts next year and the DADA position. Am i the only one who got a reallfeeling of "readying for war" from the final book? Esecially from the final pages. I really see the next book as the call to arms of wizards, where the dark clouds swirl up above as everyone prepares for one BADASS fight. If it was an hollywood film, it would have a rousing speech by someone followed by a quick montage of wizards grabbing weapons from racks and getting armoured up with Eye of the tiger playing in the background.
I certainly don't see Harry returning to Hogwarts. I got the impression it would be a frodo-style mission across mountains, oceans etc.
2) I'm sure i remember reading somewhere that Rowling said the final book is where the Wizarding world and Muggle world collide. The foundation's where laid at the beginning of Half Blood Prince, and I see it as a very natual progression, if we're to assume that this reign of Voldemort will be even worse than the first.
Johnny C:
Yeah, Harry says he isn't returning to Hogwarts. He might, briefly, to rouse some kind of army, but I see the entire final book as being, basically, a war. Or a quest. Maybe a war-quest.
Was anyone else a wee bit suprised that Harry tried to use Unforgivable Curses on Snape, by the way?
