We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have two HP6 questions, now that I am finally done reading it.
1) ita, do you still need someone to lend it to you, and can you wait until this weekend?
2) I did a lot of skimming. Am I the only one who thought that Harry might be one of the Horcruxes (sp?). That could explain how Harry survived Voldemorte's attack, and how he became a parseltongue and why the sorting hat thought about putting him in Slytherin. I know most of the Horcruxes were objects, but if one of them might be a snake, why not another living creature ?

Perkins, I snapped and bought it to read on the flight back from Montreal. So if anyone wants a copy of HP6 with the British kids cover, it's going for a very nominal ... okay, never mind.
Still, it was the perfect length for the trip home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Perkins as to (2) many people are speculating that Harry's scar is a Horcrux

Ah. Thanks. I haven't read many LJs, and I missed Anne's post.
I think we are all right.

It would be a great idea -- and it'd also explain how Harry was able to see into Voldie's stuff. Uhhh -- what was the plan for getting rid of the bits of his soul, again?

Re your white font, ita: Maybe since they have to destroy them all, Neville will have to kill Harry. Or maybe there could be a Nip/tuck cross over.
Either would make me laugh.

My main problem with having Harry be one of the Horcruxes is that Dumbledore stressed how chancy using a living creature is, especially one that has a mind and will of its own. Nagini is somewhat reliable because Voldemort knows he can control her. Harry would be just about the worst choice for a control freak like Voldemort, especially since he's tried to kill the boy for years now. Since he was probably going to use Harry's death at Godric's Hollow for his final Horcrux (presuming he had already used the Hufflepuff cup and whatever he chose of either Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's for his fourth and fifth Horcrux), he only had five Horcruxes around when he got hit by the backfired Avada Kedavra. I'm just wondering if Harry is going to find whatever Voldemort was originally intending to use as the final Horcrux still at Godric's Hollow when he goes there at the beginning of Book 7.

Kathy, I was thinking that maybe it was an accident, or a mistake on V.'s part.
