harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS

<< < (9/33) > >>

patch:
i think what is interesting is that voldemort and snape were so similar.
what is the deal there, i wonder?

KharBevNor:
Of course, Dumbledore could very well come back as a ghost...he's an unavenged murder victim after all. And teeeeeribly powerful.

Just finished it. Awesomeness. Yes, lots of lovey dovey in this book. Snogging is just the british term for making out. It was horribly clear that Dumbledore would die in this book as you are reading it, all those references to Dumbledore becoming older and slower, and his what appeared to be half-dead hand all were shouting DUMBLEDORE DIES AT THE END. No Dumbledore nor Sirius will come back. Dumbledore wont be an Inferi. It does all end happily, I saw an interview where J.K told us that she has written the final chapter of the final book already and that it basically tells us what happens to the three main characters after they become fully fledged wizards.


Horcruxes.Horcruxes.Horcruxes.Horcruxes. I had a thought that Harry himself might be the final Horcrux and that he might have to extract Voldemort's soul from inside himself somehow. But after thinking about it some more it seems very unlikely. I am also looking forward as to how J.K explains Harry and Co. being able to find the final four Horcruxes in the space of a year when it took Dumbledore himself a good 6 years to find two (one of which being a fake).

Oh yeah, kinda forgot about that.

Okay, make that MOSTLY doesn't use DEM. I always thought that HP&CoS was the weakest book of the series anyway. I'd order them, at the moment, in descending order:

1: Half-blood prince.
2: Goblet of Fire.
3: Prisoner of Azkaban.
4: Philosopher's Stone.
5: Order of the Phoenix.
6: Chamber of Secrets.

Basically, yeah, though I still maintain that it's quite a coarse term. In fact, it's been a long time since I last heard anybody use it.

My reading of ghosts in the Harry Potter world was that they were the ones who were too afraid to pass over into the afterlife, rather than having any kind of noble unfinished busioness thing going on.

Dumbledore isn't coming back.  What Rowling did was take away the safety net for Harry and the readers.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but there was the thought was always in the back of my head that nothing terrible would happen to the kids with Albus there.  He was like the bedsheet protecting us from the monsters in the closet.  

With him gone, I'm finally starting to feel a sense of doom.

I really hope that Snape isn't on Voldemort's side, but at the same time, I don't really care.  The fact remains that he murdered him, tortured Harry, and escaped into the night with a heap of death-eaters.

By the way, did anyone else find Greyback the werewolf as terrifying as I did?
