quade 4 #1 July 3, 2003 Article here. SPOILER ALERT!!! 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 seriously 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Ok I warned you 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Ok. To me what's seriously funny about this is that in the newest book Harry Potter gives an exclusive interview about Voldermort being back and the Ministry of Magic forbids any of the students from reading it because they're in deep denial about his return. At first, Harry is pissed off about that, but then looks over and sees Hermione grinning like a Cheshire Cat. He can't see why she's happy about it. "Simple", she says. "If you want to make sure that everybody reads it, there's no better way than to forbid it."

bbarnhouse 0 #2 July 3, 2003 Maybe we should all run out and purchase Politically Correct Bedtime Stories by James Finn Garner.... BB rolls her eyes in disgust What do you think Quark? And...it's gonna be Ginny BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #3 July 3, 2003 Well, I -think- you said Cho before didn't you? (Edited to say . . .) Oh, no wait, THAT'S right, you're from the Big Giant Weasly Family school of thought. Yes, you DID think it was Ginny. Anyway, if you haven't read the entire book yet, I won't say anything more than I stand by my previous prediction. I'm absolutely positive that's the only way this can end. It's the ONLY thing that makes sense to me from a storytelling point of view. BTW, let me know if you still need a copy.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #4 July 3, 2003 QuoteBTW, let me know if you still need a copy. Thanks doll but I picked it up and finished it the next day. I stand by the opinion of Ginny....there's more to Ginny than has been developed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkF 0 #6 July 3, 2003 There's a few schools here in Melbourne that've banned Harry Potter. Without exception they are church run schools of one description or another catering to the well heeled. Again, without exception they teach their own brand of fundamentalist religion. You know, the same stuff that fuels the middle east. One of the schools, to my certain knowledge, is completely hypocritical - on the shelves of their library they have the Magician series by Feist along with many more dealing with "magic" and the forces of "good" and "evil", etc. At the end of the day all they really scored for their stance was a right, royal spray from most radio talk-back callers and commentators. The _printed_ version of the newspapers carried a _LOT_ of letters seriously dumping on the schools for their stance. I reckon they'll be a bit more carefull with making their policies public in the future...For those ignorant of the ways of Melb. newspapers (as I am about the US print media) the Herald-Sun (the HUN or the Daily Hyphen) is a fairly right wing tabloid with a fairly "shock HORROR" attitude. The Age is an ever so slightly left leaning broadsheet given to more sober consideration of what it actually prints. Most of its commentators make good sense most of the time. If past experience is anything to go by, if we had a Labour (left) govt. The Age would be seen as slightly right leaning. Over the years they've had strident mentions in parliament from all sides of politics. They do pretty good...Ooroo Mark F... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumperpaula 0 #7 July 5, 2003 I hope Im not the only one dissappointed in the ending. Too many unanswered questions about the battle in the Department of Mysteries and the weak explaination from Dumbledore. Talk about a cliff hanger.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdolphin 0 #8 July 14, 2003 Ihave to say, you are so right. I love all attention that the last book got, I'm sure that quite a few really bored people with nothing better do to got really pissed off!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #9 July 14, 2003 But you're trying to state that as if it was or is a stand alone book. Its definately NOT a stand alone book and you know that all of those unanswered questions will be explained OR become a big part of the next 2 books. Then again, I'm also starting to think that Harry is going to die in the last book, while killing He-which-should-not-be-named.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

FliegendeWolf 0 #10 July 14, 2003 QuoteI'm also starting to think that Harry is going to die in the last book, while killing He-which-should-not-be-named. But the prophecy is that both could not live, and that one would have to destroy the other. I entirely expect that Harry will destroy Voldemort at the end of the seventh book and will not die.A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
