Don't post here if you don't want to know who dies and what happens.

You've been warned.

Have you made that up MrsW or did you read it somewhere?

For all those who were wondering Harry and Ron are Aurors (harry head of dept) and Hermione is high up in the magical law enforcement office.

Victorie is bill and fleurs Eldest child

Yay have finished aT LAST!

expat - you fucker I don't have to kill you!

Glad tghey all lived, really thought harry was going to die and when he walked into the forest I actually cried (wuss)

loved hermione's bag

Don't understand why Harry couldn't just tlak to Dumbledore/Sirius/Mum & Dad through portraits earlier though?

BellaBear · 26/07/2007 13:55

Thanks, yes it was 'scar', that was in the last paragraph, wasn't it?

Am now onto the third book and still nothing added to the experience by having finsihed the series, apart from snape's attitude. I think it will all come out in the fourth onwards as that's when they got really information heavy. Can't wait!

MrsWeasley · 26/07/2007 13:05

of course it could be a child of another weasley but I doubt it. Unless Percy and Penny clearwater meet at a hogwarts reunion and are now a happily married couple!

juicychops · 26/07/2007 12:51

Yeah i thought it was. And she had a french name

rosmerta · 26/07/2007 12:44

Yes it was, they mentioned it being 'our cousin'

MrsWeasley · 26/07/2007 12:43

yes we think so

juicychops · 26/07/2007 12:26

The girl teddy was snogging at the end, was that Bill and Fleur's daughter?

katiebell100 · 26/07/2007 10:31

Dean's back story is on JKR's website, but basically, his dad was a wizard who wouldn't join the death eaters so they killed him. None of Dean's family know, which is why he couldn't prove his blood status in DH and had to go on the run even though he is a half blood.

Almost finished the second reading and I enjoyed it more the second time as I wasn't rushing to finish it.

MrsWeasley · 26/07/2007 10:22

no teddy will not have had the sad childhood that the others had. Firstly he would be living with his grandparent and he has Harry and there is no way harry wouldn't look out for him. He already goes to Harry's 4 times a week at least!

He will grow up knowing

  1. how wonderful his parents were and
  2. thats he is loved (lots)

Also by killing Remus( ) it took away the element of danger for Teddy. In POA it explains that a werewolf would kill his best friend, it doesnt know what it is doing etc so by killing him off it took all danger!

LazyLineLegilimens · 26/07/2007 09:09

So is Teddy Lupin destined to be a boy who is somewhat alone with the weight of the world on his shoulders, like those before him who see Hogwarts as home with no parents? Snape, Riddle, Harry and now Teddy?

Steward · 26/07/2007 09:05

Did anyone notice a couple of things in the book that has come full circle. Harry was asked to be Teddy's godfather who later looses his parents like Harry. And Ron and Hermonie hated each other at times but got it together. Lily hated James but they ended up married.

Just an odservation.

auriana · 26/07/2007 08:08

I have just finished reading this (didn't really mean to until I saw it on sale in the supermarket on Saturday!). I'm glad I read it when it came out. It was fun to be part of a "phenomenon" - every morning there has been someone else on the train reading it. And this morning a young girl was mad keen to tell me that she had already finished hers (I asked her not to tell me what happened...).
And I wish I knew more about the psychology of myths. This series makes me think how few stories there are in human culture that are actually different.

the luna & dean "thing" is interesting JKR says dean had a great history but it had to be cut.

Something for the new book then

TheDuchessOfNorks · 25/07/2007 21:39

Hogwarts, even!

TheDuchessOfNorks · 25/07/2007 21:38

Wants the HP encyclopedia now, now, now.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 25/07/2007 20:57

I know they were identical and all but Fred was my favourite. And he gets the tragic lines in DH like..."When I get married...".

MrsWeasley · 25/07/2007 20:21

I ROFL at that line, still chuckle

FlameParakeet · 25/07/2007 20:19

"We're identical!"

tigerschick · 25/07/2007 20:16

Have to say I agree too. Loosing a parent from the Weasley's would affect them more as a family - make them pull together and help at home a bit more.
