I agree with Nick.

I don't know... I think she'll make just as much money on the 7th (if not more!) simply because people are hooked! So, it's totally not going to matter what happens in the 7th book, people are still going to buy it, even if they hear bad things about it, they are still going to want to read it for themselves...

ICE, I love you.

And? It's her ****ing story.



Ice, I believe you wholeheartedly.

And she kind of makes a living off this story. It isn't like a hobby. It's her bread and milk. (Well she probably has enough money to last her the rest of her life, but that's beside the point).

I'm a writer and I know what you're talking about, but even though it's an art and she the artist, she still needs to please the public for her to make money.

True. And she has two kids!!!! What if she died....dundundun

As a matter of fact, she has three kids. Jessica, David and McKenzie was born this January.

Yeah, and her frickin' career also.

Don't speak to me like I'm an idiot, DWM. I'm a writer too and I understand your point. But I understand why Rowling wouldn't do it either.

Harry Potter dies at the end of the 6th book. There's a secret page inside the back cover that explains the whole thing. Also Hermione becomes a trapeze artist in a traveling circus and Ron gets accidentally trapped in the form of a New England clam. The 7th book is really just a 1st person narrative of Hedwig flying around eating mice. JK Rowling told me all this herself. If anyone questions it, they're wrong.

Harry can't be a Horcrux...in the Ministry scene in that last book Voldemort possessed him and he couldn't take it...and somewhere in the 6th book Dumbldedore said Harry is too full of love for Voldemort to posess him.

I take back the dundundun part.

Harry=last horocrux

Snape is good. Dumbledore ordered Snape to kill him.
Harry will die in Book 7.

Voldermort was doing an unforgivable curse though, not the thing to make harry a horocrux. If he wanted harry to be a Horocrux, then he wouldn't have been trying to kill him. not to mention, it even said it's dangerous to have the horocrux have a soul or something which is why the snake was a risk.

I don't know, on the other HP&HBP thread, there's a site link on it: http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com/introduction.html

It's pretty convincing... these people know what they are talking about...

Hmmm...I checked out the site and I agree that it is very convincing, but I wouldn't get my hopes up...

I think the problem with our consistent speculation about the final book is this- JK Rowling is the author of the books and she is the one who make up all the rules in the HP books. We may think we know how everything is supposed to turn out in the end, but only one person knows that, and she is able to twist the plot however she'd like. Clues in the last 6 books are fun to discover and theorize about, but ultimately she can do whatever she wants to the characters, because it is not like the "rules" of the wizarding world are totally known to us, just those which she chooses to reveal to us...

Huh. I accidentally pushed the logout button earlier today and then I stopped it & tried to post but of course it wouldn't let me. Then I just pushed login/join and I didn't even have to type in my name! I was just here, signed in like I had been two seconds earlier.

There might be a site for that... you should google it, just in case... omg, this thing is freaky... I can reply without logging in (and in the upper right corner it doesn't say 'Hello NickJ' or whatever it says "Login/Join" and I don't have the option of posting my sig. weird...

Hm. dumbledoreisnotdead. Sounds like something I'd do when Sirius died. **** her.

You have too much faith in a Death Eater, dem.

I think Harry will return to school. How can he not?

Let's see. Being an author, I can answer this. The pen rules all. AND Rowling holds the pen. She can write it so he never goes back to school. (sigh) What do they teach kids in school these days?

quote:

But I sorta agree with Meagan that parents would be very angry if their kids read a book where the hero goes through all this s*** and then ends up dying anyway.

****. I should never publish my books, then.

Yes, I'm also having trouble swallowing the Harry Horcrux thing... I guess the reason being is that if Harry is a horcrux, then why is Voldemort trying to kill him? I suppose Voldemort could've made Harry a horcrux by accident, but, I just kind of think that would be lame... I don't know...
