What would be the worst possible ending of the last Harry Potter book?

oh god, for me it would be learning that there was going to be another one after all.

Just came here to gloat!

:( for me i mean (sorry i clicked b4 i had finished!) for you

:(

Play.com the post office were quick for once !

how did u get it this morning??its not out till mon!!! NO FAIR!!!!!!

I got HP and the goblet of fire DVD this am! The extras are much better than Azkaban not sure aboutthe interviewing tho'
The deleted scenes are worth watching just for Jarvis Cocker and to hear the full song!

You are right DG .... I did think the Johnny Vaughn/shrunken head thing was silly ... but I guess the teenagers thought it was funny. I wondered why Alan Rickman wasn't being interviewed and then I realised that he probably refused as he wouldn't stoop that low ...
I didn't think RG was sulky ... he was smiling throughout and couldn't really get a word in ...

I liked the Weasley twins (don't think they act that well in the movies but they came across really well in the interviews). I can see lots of potential in them as they get older (the 'phwoarr' factor ) they look and sound a bit like Sean Bean. (Yum)

ghosty, I have seen those interviews as we have POA on DVD. I thought DR came across as a lovely boy - not all sulky and knowing like many teenagers - but RG seemed to have some sort of sulk going on at the time as he hardly responds to the questions at all. Mind you, I thought having the interview conducted by WhatsHisName and the Shrunken Head was really naff from the start. You can see Robbie Coltrane and Michael Gambon wondering why on earth they agreed to be subjected to such a terrible interview.

Well Rupert Grint is actually a seriously good actor (has anyone seen Thunderpants?) and consequently has quite a personality/ego. DR was never really going to compete but he gets a little bit better each time, as does Hermione.

DS and I have just been looking at the 'special features' disc 2 of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD ... I love looking at the 'real' people who are acting the parts. Has anyone else seen these interviews?
I thought Daniel Radcliffe was a real nerdy dork though, compared to all the others .... bit of a shame really ... I am sure he is a nice boy though (in case his mum is a mumsnetter!)

I imagined Dolores Umbridge looking like the woman who played the Slitheen in Dr Who.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha @ parsnips!

Oliviab - I agree re Imelda Staunton. Julie Walters is too over the top.

wasn't able to read all the posts so someones probably already said this but it's so going to turn out to be neville who's destined to kill voldemort after all and harry's life has been destroyed for no reason.

I think Imelda Staunton would have made a better Mrs Weasley than Wotserface. I also imagined Dolores Umbridge to look like the Witch in Simon & The Witch for some reason, if anyone remembers her (she was also the mad neighbour that says 'Fondant!' in Sense & Sensibility.)

PMSL tangocharlie. Actually, I think that would be quite cool. (not to have them turn into parsnips in the middle but if it happened at the end...)

Sorry, forgot the 'book' part of the title - ok, the second half of the book was just a description of how all the parnips sat there and did nothing for 250 pages.

The worst possible ending would be if halfway through the film somebody's spell goes badly awry and everyone turns into a parsnip and because they have no-one left (with arms or a brain) to fix things you have to spend the next hour or so of the film staring at parsnips.

Also Petunia siad there ahd never been anyone like Lily in the family before. (But she would say that, wouldn't she?)

Snape also fancied her, though. And she would defend him. A bit like Hermoine.

oops just remembered that Harry watched his mum and dad in the pensive in Snapes office at exam time when they were young and snape called Lily a mudblood

Dunno about Lilly, but James Potter is connected to the Blacks on his mother's side. I think her mum was a Black. So yeah, he'd be connected to Slytherin in that respect. Snape must also be connected to Slytherin, but he's not a Parselmouth, so far as we know.

Damn, I'm pretty pathetic . . . I can talk LOTR just as well .

Is Harry definitely a Half blood? Has it ever actually been said? We know that Lily's parents were delighted when she got the letter from Hogwarts but is it possible that they were a magical family and Petunia wasn't magical and therefore was very jealous?
And which family was James Potter from? Is he connected to the Slytheins? I think he might be.

I think Alan Rickman is a brilliant snape. Honestly I think that's the best bit of casting they've done, although Imelda Saunton as Delores Umbridge is gonna be good. I like Kenneth Branaugh as Gilderoy Lockhart, too.
