'War Stories'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
How long does the HP HBP stuff have to be whitefonted?
Tepp, I totally agree with you about seeing a different Draco in book 7. Maybe even Harry and Draco will have to team up, or cooperate on some level, to defeat Voldermort. Sorta like Spike and Buffy in the end of season 2.
Of course, that won't happen, because what I predect never happens.
PoA had the Dementors and the threat of Sirius Black. The big finale had the reveal that the real bad guy was Peter Pettigrew.
That's one of the reasons I loved PoA. It was kind of a refreshing surprise for the villain not to be Voldemort for the third time in a row.
That, and there were like three thousand plot twists.
"a different Draco in book 7. Maybe even Harry and Draco will have to team up, or cooperate on some level, to defeat Voldermort. Sorta like Spike and Buffy in the end of season 2."
Or maybe like season seven - including the hot monkey sex.
So here were some questions I was left with from HBP (cause I really should be writing a inquiry-based lesson plan on statistics, but this is more fun):
How did RAB get the Horcrux? Did he/she have someone with him/her as well? Wasn't there a reference to something flying away from Dumbledore's body at one point, or am I making it up? Did JKR make up the whole wordless magic thing just to fuck up all the fanfic writers or what? That's a joke, there. I'm sure that wasn't her motivation. Just a funny side effect!
I haven't even read the books and I kind of want to go here: [link]
Someone in the hbp_chapters comm over at LJ had a wonderful theory about the identity of the last Horcrux--Harry's scar.
Yeah, I've seen several varieties of that theory floating around.
Ooh, that's an excellent one. (And that kind of explains why when Voldie does something evil - the scar hurts. Although, not anymore.)
Re: HBP, I agree with most of y'all that think
Snape was under Dumbledore's orders. Poor guy. I also agree with Teppy that Dumbledore may be pulling a Gandalfe. Not only were there all the phoenix images, but he told Draco that they could make it look like he and his mother were dead in order to protect them from Voldemort. Snape is a very good wizard. He could pull off a spell that would make Dumbledore look dead. This also, I think, fulfills his unbreakable vow that he protect Draco. Or was the vow to do what Draco couldn't? I don't remember. Anyway. At Dumbledore's funeral, we never actually see the body. It's all wrapped up. Who's to say it really was Dumbledore's? Or, if it was, Harry saw something fly away from the body when it burned.
