“I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great-great-grandparents,” she said.
It's like she knows me!!
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

To heck with the Potters, tell me Draco's wife's name, what he's up to and how often he and Harry get together without their wives knowing about it? And does Ginny stay at home and watch the kids or what?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I vote for Ginny being a professional Quidditch player.

Hmmm. I kinda like the idea of her being the charms professor. But pro-quidditch works for me, too.
OR, she goes into the shop with George and Lee.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was under the impression that Harry survived because of the Deathly Hallows.
He had the cloak. He'd just had possession of the Resurrection Stone. And, as we find out later, he was "master" of the Elder Wand.
According to the story, that makes him the Master of Death, able to choose whether or not to die. And Dumbledore offers him that choice in King's Cross. Harry chooses to go back for his friends' sake.
I really thought this was where JK was going in the plot: That because Harry possessed the stone and the cloak that he was not able to be killed. But since there was a discussion about it at King's Cross, I figured my speculation was DUMB. I thought to myself around 2/3rds of the way in: THAT'S why Dumbledore wanted him to get the Hallows. This is the only way he would defeat Riddle!

BTW, Amazon is selling a box set of all seven hardbound books. The set is in a suitcase with a lock and goes on sale in September.

I've seen it and I really really want it, but I'm going to be saving my pennies because what I REALLY want, is a set of UK books - all first edition.

If My F-List Had Written DH--Omigod so hilarious!
I was under the impression that Harry survived because of the Deathly Hallows.
I was under the impression that the "master of death" aspect of the Dealthy Hallows was the fairytale part of the legend, and that the three Hallows were just really powerful magical objects that people were trying to collect for the sake of having the complete set.

- gasp* Seriously? They're for sale?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I kind of wanted something spectacular to happen when the Hallows were all in one place, but am also pleased that nothing did.
