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.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

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."

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
"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.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
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!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Someone in the hbp_chapters comm over at LJ had a wonderful theory about the identity of the last Horcrux--Harry's scar.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I've seen several varieties of that theory floating around.

Art Crawl!!!
Ooh, that's an excellent one. (And that kind of explains why when Voldie does something evil - the scar hurts. Although, not anymore.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
As long as he doesn't come back... wrong.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Chatty!co-worker is reading HBP, too -- he's on chapter 18 -- and I came in this morning and told him I finished it, and that the Half-Blood Prince is, actually, the musician Prince.
