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

You've been warned.

Thank you Mrs Weasley for the link!

tigerschick · 05/08/2007 14:20

BOM - have you seen there is a Leicestshire meet-up thread? Thought I'd let you know
Off to read some more of that "if hp characters posted on MN" thread ...

My dh reads the paper and rugby magazines. He read Martin Johnson's autobiography, but it took him about 6 months. It's mostly because he also prefers the tv and reading tends to send him to sleep! I do feel a bit guilty when I'm completely emmersed in a book, but when he starts making sly comments to dd about how there's no point talking to me when I'm reading ... well, all guilt seems to fly away

MrsWeasley · 05/08/2007 12:45

BoM: your thread was absolutely hilarious. I really made me ROFL several times.

MrsWeasley · 05/08/2007 12:40

I have a dh like that too. He hasnt read a book in all the time I've known him He much prefers to watch the tv!

tigerschick · 05/08/2007 09:43

Ah - someone else with an unsypathetic dh - mine rolls his eyes and sighs deeply whenever I stray towards the book shelves

bookwormtailmum · 04/08/2007 21:12

Wouldn't have thought so .

Oh yeah, don't know if this has been mentioned but JK has evidently watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks (where the suits of armour line up to defend England) as well as reading the last book of the Narnia series quite closely. Allegedly. Still a good read to the end though even with my dp moaning and groaning at me reading til all hours .

BandofMothers · 04/08/2007 20:53

Don't think she really needs more money tho, does she???

bookwormtailmum · 04/08/2007 20:48

I finished this the other day - I laughed when Snape flew through the window to rejoin Voldemort (much to my dp's puzzlement - when I read the line to him, he just looked baffled ) and I started crying when his parents, Sirius and Lupin turned up to escort him to see Voldemort and when Dumbledore congratulated him on being a brave man. sob.

Fabby though - I feel as though it was 'finished' off properly - I hope she doesn't revisit them later on to make more money.

BandofMothers · 04/08/2007 20:44

Mrs w, I love that thread of mine.

Heheeee.
Pity we couldn't do more of the Fake DH before it came out.

MrsWeasley · 04/08/2007 19:17

boogieWoogie: here is the link to the Fake Hallows.

Here is another one that has caused a few laughs (well it kept me laughing anyway)If HP characters posted on mn what would they post.

Enjoy and feel free to add more.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 04/08/2007 15:20

Some of the HP obsessives started their own version of DH in the week before the real one came out, taking it in turns to write a paragraph. Sadly am not clever enough to add anything but it was very very good.

boogiewoogie · 04/08/2007 14:56

What fake DH thread? What have I missed?!

rosmerta · 04/08/2007 14:45

tiger, I've just got your name!!!!!

I reckon England will do ok [fingers crossed]!

tigerschick · 04/08/2007 10:24

I think I'd find it much harder now as I would want to steer it in the direction that the real one went.

Feel free to carry on tho if you like - I'll enjoy reading it

BandofMothers · 04/08/2007 09:02

Is the fake DH still going??
We could keep doing it and write it our way

Or, maybe not.

tigerschick · 04/08/2007 07:49

MrsW - it's worth a read Even if it's just for a giggle now.

Drunken Sailor - I went trawling thru the archives a while ago and found a thread about how the HP hype was getting out of control - and that was in 2001!!! I wonder what the people who were posting then think about the way things have gone in the last 6 years

Califrau - sadly I have a feeling that this is going to end in tears for the men in white But I'm staying positive, for now ... "Swing low, sweet chariot ..."

MrsWeasley · 03/08/2007 23:37

oh Thanks I wasnt here then so will have a little look when I get a minute! Havent read the fake DH thread yet

BigGitDad · 03/08/2007 21:13

Was hoping to catch Kewcumber today to give her a gentle ribbing but have missed her today.

tigerschick · 03/08/2007 21:11

Whaddya mean if BGD??? When is more like it!! There are four Tigers players in the squad!!!

BigGitDad · 03/08/2007 21:06

Thank you to those for replying, especially Califrau as tomorrow may not be a good day for you if England beat Wales, you might want to retire to that hot tub of yours for a little R&R!!!

tigerschick · 03/08/2007 20:53

Also liked the bit where the Death Eaters went to try and kidnap his gran and she put 2 of them in hospital and went on the run!!
It's Super-Gran all over again!
