harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS

--- Quote from: SeanBateman ---SIRIUS BLACK IS TOTALLY NOT DEAD
--- End quote ---
i'd like to think being hit in the chest with a death spell, knocked into a room with a 'power more terrifying than you can imagine" would securely put him in the "dead' column, but I've been wrong before.
Anyway, since i'm not part of the lunatic fanfiction cannon, its nice to see that J.K. Rowling can write minor drama as well as high drama.
Snape, I get the feeling is loyal to one person and one person only: Snape.
Peronsally, I want to see Hagrid go medieval on the Death Eaters when the chips laid down in book 7.
yelley:
was sirius actually hit with the killing curse? in my memory he just falls through the archway... i think i need to dig out OotP and check... unless someone on here has it committed to memory...
as for snape, i'm not really sure what to think here. part of me is like, oh he was just evil and he sucks. but here's what i want to be true: snape really isn't a bad guy and this was a plan of dumbledore's. dumbledore always said he had his reasons for trusting snape and i don't think the one that was hinted at (with the prophecy and him feeling remorse) is good enough. so the scene where malfoy was supposed to kill dumbledore... seems like she's hinting that he's going to turn good again, so maybe snape was just supposed to get him and protect him by killing dumbledore so he wouldn't do it. snape did take that unbreakable vow, after all... allowing malfoy to kill dumbledore probably wouldn't be upholding his end of the vow. maybe dumbledore had some reason to believe that he was more expendable than snape. dumbledore probably knows that harry needed to do it on his own anyway. that's really wishful thinking though... i think i just don't want snape to be bad because i kinda liked his character, the bad good guy.
Tactical Error:
I completely agree that Hagrid has to finally kick some ass in book seven.
We are bound to see more of Narcissa and Belatrix in book seven as well, they are Tonks' aunts you know.
Speaking of moments of laughter I was cracking up at Peeves after Harry asked Luna to Slug's Christmas party. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrve!

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.

Well, HP is mostly written in a locked down third person following Harry and examining his thoughts (can't remember the bloody proper name for it), but anyway, the use of such terms adds realism I think: Harry isn't that particularly refined or soft spoken, and he wouldn't be: he was bought up with the Dursleys shouting abuse at him, went to a state school, etc. He's relatively polite and nice, but not that soft-spoken. They're sixteen year old schoolboys ffs. I applaud the use of the term.
Switchblade:
I get that, and I understand and accept the context it's used in. I just think that "Snogging" is to "Kissing" what "Cunt" is to "Vagoo"- a bad word for a good thing.
