obsessed with Harry P?

[MrsWeasley]

Is anyone else getting really excited (borderline obsessed)about he new HP book?
I have re-read all the other 6 and everytime I scan down active convos and see "Potty" I heart skips a beat or I hold my breath whilst my eyes focus!!

Please tell me it isn't only me and my DC that are counting the days (hours, minutes, seconds...)

Isn't billy connelly nearly headless nick?

Thought John Cleese was Nearly Headless Nick?
Wizards can do magic from a very young age, in the campsite at the Quidditch World Cup there were kids as young as 2 and 3 trying to blast slugs and playing on toy broomsticks!

Perhaps they are home tutored???

John Cleese is Nearly Headless Nick but wasn't Billy Connolly going to be Peeves before they decided to cut that part?

As I was reading GoF and Barty Jr was saying that Winky bound him to her with her own brand of magic so he wouldn't join the Death Eaters at the World Cup, and that is why she was walking thru the forest in a strange way when the 3 saw her. I was wondering if Dobby could bind Harry to him and then Harry could go thru the veil and rescue Sirius and then Dobby could bring them back out.

Then I thought that was probably a bit far fetched

Love Billy for Scrimgoer tho

He was after all the only Scot not cast in Braveheart, he will be even more miffed if he's the only uker not cast in HP.

BSF Ron's birthday is on 1st March. Just got to bit in HBP where they mention it. Can't believe how much I've forgotten - each new bit I get to I think 'oh yes of course that happened'.

Not sure that Billy Connelly would be serious enough for Scrimgeour. Then again not sure who could play him - Jeremy Irons? Hmm...

Nice theory BOM, not sure whether Harry going through the veil would break the bond? Definitely think that Dobby will be important in the next book though as he does keep popping up and being useful to Harry.

I am sooo looking forward to the new book but also am going to miss theorising on what may or may not be going to happen!

I thought Jeremy Irons should be Snapew, much meaner than Rickman, and he did it for Comic Relief and was fantastic.
Billy was serious in Mrs Brown, he would be great.

I know, we'll have to start a new thread to discuss what we think she should have done.
And what we liked and disliked.

Sorry about this....

But for those of us who are not as potty as others....
What's a Wombat???

don't know. What is the door everyone's on about???

Wombat is a test you can do on JK Rowlings Official Web site.

I'm not sure about Billy either. Scrimgeor looks like a lion and is quite stocky - maybe Ray Winston?

Ooh good sunshine. He'd be cool.

Is there a link somewhere, what is it a quiz about how much you know about HP??

Its something to do on JKR's site (Wizarding owls something something apparition test?) but the door to it is only open some of the time and its now closed again. If you go onto the site & click on the eraser you'll see what I mean. I only just found it today & was too late [hmmph]

Wizards ordinary magic and basic aptitude test - well two out of seven isn't bad!

Have a look round the site, there's some really good stuff on characters she tried to introduce and how she tried to do different storylines etc. Apparently there's a whole background story on Dean Thomas which she's tried to include twice but never works.

Hmm, Jeremy Irons probably would be good as Snape but I love Alan Rickman. I think Alan Rickman manages to portray the vulnerability/insecurity of Snape quite well and is very believable either as a goodie or a baddie!

Oooh that sounds good can someone link it please[lazy emoticon]

Here's a link to the new game for OOTP.

If anyone's interested.

sigh

Are the games good? I've got a ds (that's as in Nintendo, not announcing I've got a boy!) and was wondering about getting them. Or are they more for kids than adults ?

join Dumbledore's Army

If you click onto the HP symbol on the right half way up the page there is a new trailer for the film.
