I can get why the soul part is broken, but not so much the blood part.

Well, it's rather traditional, and it harkens back to Dumbledore's mysterious look of triumph when he learned how Voldy reconstituted himself.

Then, of course, there's the wisdom of William the Bloody:

Blood is life, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes you hard. Makes you other than dead. 'Course it's her blood.

Which is not to insinuate that Harry is made of Buffy. Because that would be wrong.

Ha. Came across this in someone's Facebook profile:

Before Neville punched it, it was called "Horizont Alley."

Errr... remind me: What did Neville punch?

I'm guessing it's a comment in line with those Vin Diesel or Chuck Norris ones, and refers to Diagon Alley.

I get the Diagon Alley part, but not the Vin/Chuck bit.

I'm not too sure where to link the Chuck Norris meme, but I first saw it being adapted for Neville over at the Sugar Quill forums after DH came out. One of the better lines I read there was "In the epilogue, Draco's hair wasn't receding, it was fleeing Neville!"

Are you not familiar with Chuck Norris Facts? There are also Jack Bauer Facts.

For the few of you in here who will appreciate this, in the Avatar thread on TWoP, we do them for Toph.

I think someone started a Werner Hezog one as well.

I missed those memes. Thanks!

Still, shouldn't it be, "After Neville punched it, it was called "Horizont Alley."

ita has a Batman one. Somewhere.
