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?

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I want to know all of those things, too!
I'll bet he marries Pansy. Cause ya know - he IS one.
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.
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.
a set of UK books - all first edition.
- gasp* Seriously? They're for sale?
Yeah, I kind of wanted something spectacular to happen when the Hallows were all in one place, but am also pleased that nothing did.
More evidence that Luna=Jilli:
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum.
“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”
Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don’t exist.
“But I do think that she’s so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one’s ever seen before,” Rowling said.
