lou33 · 20/07/2007 10:33

he read the last chapter from 8-9

to himself!

lol people were getting all irate thinking he was going to spoil it all as he had an advance copy, but he actually just sat reading it inbetween songs, and didnt give a thing away

expatinscotland · 20/07/2007 10:15

lou, are you there?

Ali5 · 19/07/2007 21:32

I can't get the review! Can anyone cut and paste it? Is the whole world reading it?

lou33 · 19/07/2007 21:22

tho actually i will miss the last half hour as i will be on the school run

lou33 · 19/07/2007 21:22

they def said fri

if you want expat!

ELF1981 · 19/07/2007 21:18

Harry and Voldemort will both die.
In a lot of mythical stories / shows, good and evil are in scales. So if Harry is the ultimate good, and Voldemort the ultimate evil, they either both live, or both die.

Yin and Yang and all that.

expatinscotland · 19/07/2007 21:12

Cool! Lou, are you willing to email me with the conclusion?

MrsWeasley · 19/07/2007 21:11

plese tell me you mean Saturday and even so what pigs.

lou33 · 19/07/2007 19:58

on fri morning between 8 and 9, my local radio station is reading out the final chapter live on air

rosmerta · 19/07/2007 19:54

I reckon its the Creevey brothers who are the Hogwart spies

Have read the review and its only made me more impatient! I don't want to know the end until I get there though!

mistypeaks · 19/07/2007 19:28

'Voldemort and his followers have infiltrated Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic'

so, who do you think is a sleeper at hogwarts?

I reckon slughorn.

Well I suppose the reviewer can't give away any plotlines...

I think it reads more like the authors opinions than an actual review

mistypeaks · 19/07/2007 13:21

worse than harry dying what if he turns to the darkside to save his friends?
What if his father isn't dead, but voldemort (too starwars I know)

mumofSlytherinsmonsters · 19/07/2007 13:02

you can buy it in new york already?????

I didn't want to read this when i saw the thread this morning but i have been drawn to it! made me more eager for the book! I don't think there is any ONE thing that can spoil it for me, there is so much i want to now that there can't possibly be that many spoilers!!

Desiderata · 19/07/2007 12:58

If Mr Dahl have written Harry Potter, Harry would certainly have died at the end!

Do you think he might lose his powers though?

I am really excited having read this review. I want to know more ahout Dumbledore and Harry's families - intriguing. I also want to be proved right about Snape.

And I am definitely excited at the prospect of Harry having to choose between looking for the horcruxes and looking for the hallows - that sounds very interesting.

He won't die because the who storyline is the battle of good over evil - not likely that Harry will die - he will win the battle.

Hagridsjockstrap · 19/07/2007 12:40

Can't wait! I don't think he'll die, purely because she might change her mind in say 10 years when she's run out of cash or something and needs a few quid - easy enough to write another book then

expatinscotland · 19/07/2007 11:05

And then he dies .
