(I have nicked the idea for this thread from another forum I post on so I can't take credit for it)

My lame contribution was:

" ... and Harry woke up to find it had all been an incredible dream ..."

Then someone suggested that it could end with Voldy writing a letter of apology ...

"dear mr potter, sorry for trying to do you in all these years, i saw so many similarities between the two of us and i suppose i was jealous of how well you handle things, and you're so good at quidditch.

sorry for killing your parents, i just get so angry sometimes and i'd heard this thing about having to kill you and i just got carried away

oh yeah, and sorry for the scar

yours

Lord Voldemort BSC Hons"

Maybe Harry is distantly related to voldermorte and they will declare that blood is thicker than water and kiss and make up? Shock

Mmmmm Alan Rickman! He's not disgusting enough to play Snape really!

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 22:43

Yep. Molly Weasley is also related to the Blacks. But it'll be interesting to see who Snape is related to.

Dior · 02/03/2006 22:39

All the pure-bloods are related in some way. Sirius said this in OOTP.

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 22:38

I saw it. James Potter was related to the Blacks on his mother's side, IIRC

Oliviab · 02/03/2006 22:25

O/T but did anyone see about that recent charity auction where famous writers were given a blank A4 sheet to write on and then auction? JKR did a family tree of the House of Black and it basically had every magical surname in the books on it inc a Potter. They're all related in some way, magic must be a genetic mutation.
I only caught a glimpse of a bit of it in a magazine but apparently she said it had clues.
Too late to Google it tonight, will do some research tomorrow.

he might whip out the pink umbrella and get medieval, tamba :o.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 02/03/2006 21:23

I wonder how Hagrid will get it? Doesnt his blood make curses less affective or something?

I hope all the Weasleys make it through. Although I wouldnt have a problem with the Durselys getting it!

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 21:16

I hope she doesn't waste Snape. In a weird way, I sort of like him.

This is how sad I am: I'm one of those people who goes to the bookshop at midnight on the day of the release. I take the following day off from work so I can read all night.

DumbledoresGirl · 02/03/2006 21:16

Grindelwald was defeated in 1945 - so was Hitler. Maybe we have a muggle perspective on this previous evil wizard......Wink

Iamacreepyweirdo · 02/03/2006 21:16

i don't belong here

mistressmiggins · 02/03/2006 21:14

I was devastated when Snape turned baddy
am desperately hoping its all an act
would like dumbledore to reappear

hope that noone else dies

sorry - like happy endings

think I may read all books again b4 last one comes out

DumbledoresGirl · 02/03/2006 21:13

Luna will end up with Neville who indeed will sort Bellatrix out. He is getting stronger and stronger by each book IMO.

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 21:13

'I believe Grindelwald is meant to be Hitler.'

Huh? Sorry, I didn't get that.

I think by the end of book 7, Neville's going to have it in him to waste Bella for screwing over his parents so badly.

He's been getting stronger and stronger.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 02/03/2006 21:12

And what do we think Luna is going to do in the next book, I dont think JK would have introduced her if she didnt have plans for her.

DumbledoresGirl · 02/03/2006 21:12

Yes, I agree with you, it doesn't seem a Dumbledore thing to do. But just wanted to point out that he could have killed someone "for the greater good". I believe Grindelwald is meant to be Hitler.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 02/03/2006 21:12

Has Neville got it in him to kill belatrix though?

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 21:11

K, add another to the list, I think Bellatrix Lestrange is gonna cop it. I think Neville is going to waste her for turning his parents into permament residents of St. Mungo's.

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 21:09

Yes, but Dumbledore also told Harry that making a horcrux was an awful, unnatural thing to do. It's so distasteful, Slug tried to cover up telling Tom Riddle what it was.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 02/03/2006 21:07

I have been reading this thread for a few days now trying to decide what I think the worst possible ending would be for me.

But then I find I cant bare to think about the Harry Potter series ending Blush Blush Grin

DumbledoresGirl · 02/03/2006 21:05

Expat, Dumbledore defeated the evil wizard Grindelwald (or whatever the name is) in 1945 (see HP1 and his biography on the bak of the chocolate frogs card) so he could have conceiveably murdered someone and made a horcrux. I think a stronger argument is to say that Dumbledore says there are worse things than death so it is unlikely he would strive for immortality.

Ghosty, just to let you know, the Goblet of Fire DVD is out on the 20th March - I alredy have my copy ordered although I did see the film in the cinema!

Blandmum · 02/03/2006 20:55

Not convinced

Harry is a good enough wizard , even underage ,to do spells that adults can;t, like the patronus. Belatrix say that you have to want to cause pain using the cruciatus, and that Harry can't really do it because he doesn't really want to.....he does generate a spell, it makes her scream but not writhe in pain.

It think it is the same with Adeva Kedavra, you have to really want to kill to use it.

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 20:50

Is it b/c they were both underage that they are not able to successfully use them?

expatinscotland · 02/03/2006 20:50

He must have meant is b/c the green streak shot out of his wand.

Malfoy tried to use an unforgivable curse on Harry in the Half Blood Prince. Then Harry tried to use one on Snape.
