Hope there aren't now about 10 of these cos we've all opened at the same time.

Oh BOM - I have never been so excited about a book coming out as this and I've never been on a thread about one before - I think the two go hand-in-hand. I used to look forward to the books coming out but had no idea about what I thought was going to happen. Both of the deaths so far have been total shocks to me as I didn't even know that someone was going to die!

Tho I have to admit that in HBP I flicked thru and read the chapter titles when I was about half way thru. And they suggested that someone was going to die (The White Tomb) and I had a feeling that it was going to be Dd (The Phoenix Lament) but I didn't really believe it!!

I quite like kneazlechick too, it keeps the cat theme going ... hmmm ...

BandofMuggles · 10/07/2007 20:57

I don't think she'd use the same thing twice, re the sibling wands.

Go and get ready for your interview

whompingwillowinthedewmeadow · 10/07/2007 20:59

I definitely think the power of the houseelves will be significant in defeating V. Dont know if I could cope with Dobby dying.

God I am going to need a treeful of tissues - Im either going to be prelabour, in labour, or popped, and you dont get more emotional than that.

rosmerta · 10/07/2007 21:00

Good luck with your interview Sunshine!

kneazlechick · 10/07/2007 21:02

Whaddaya think????

BandofMuggles · 10/07/2007 21:02

Oh dear WWIADM, hope you are prelabour not just delivered. Bit less hormoney, if only slightly.

I sobbed when I first read the deaths as I also had no idea.

BandofMuggles · 10/07/2007 21:02

LOVE IT Kneazlechick.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 10/07/2007 21:03

I think I'm i denial. Like exams I need to be in a panic before I can revise.
So if we think Neville's wand is going to be important, otherwise why did he mention it, why do we think it will be?

persephonesnape · 10/07/2007 21:03

my heart is breaking already. does no one think snape will live? i just can't make up my mind at all and will change my mind again and again until final predictions on friday week ( actually thursday for me as I'll be away...)

yeah, dragonchick (such a cool name) I like kneazlechick too - I think Crookshanks is a fantastic pet.

Twas pondering the possibility of Harry living with no powers and I think that would be a naff ending - such an anti-climax. I think for the huge climax it has to be that it'll be total superwizardness in defeat of V (with sad casulties of course) or sacrificing his own life to take V down.

rosmerta · 10/07/2007 21:08

It has to be Harry lives & defeats V but with lots of losses on both sides, only way it can be...

kneazlechick · 10/07/2007 21:09

Think I'm sticking with this name for now but may switch back ...

LOL at the links Persephone!! Very clever with the names on the YouTube one.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 10/07/2007 21:16

Everyone's names are lovely - do you think I need a different one?

persephonesnape · 10/07/2007 21:31

i like you as you are albus.

persephone, I want Snape to survive, be shown in his true heroic colours, and become next Hogwarts headmaster! I feel he deserves it, for his miserable loveless life to date.

kneazlechick · 10/07/2007 22:28

The trouble is that I don't think Snape can survive if he does turn out to be good - which I think he is - because there will always be people who don't trust him. His redemption must be totally self-sacrificing. Well, that's my opinion, anyway.

Have you seen the list of characters here?? WOW!!

MrsWeasley · 11/07/2007 00:09

LOL I have read a few post where people say "wow you have been busy I've only been away a week" etc but guys I've only been away 24 hours and you are close to filling this thread! LOL

Well I do think/hope Snape will die but after being proven to be good. (Although I would like him to die been evil so that I can carry on my dislike of him.

Some weasleys may die, not sure if molly or Arthur or both. A twin or Bill! need to think more about that one. Now if Molly dies to defend her children will they have a magical protection? that could work. Percy dies saving Molly, molly dies to save the rest of the clan!

HARRY WILL LIVE

I really hope that Dobby will live too. Kreacher will die.

Wormtail will die as will a Malfoy, maybe draco hopefully his dad too!

PussinJimmyChoos · 11/07/2007 00:13

Is it just me or does the release date seem soooooooooooo far away, even though its actually only a week and a half????

I haven't pre-ordered though - I should be able to get a copy in Tescos though?

MrsWeasley · 11/07/2007 00:16

you should still be able to get it but why take the risk ?

whompingwillowinthedewmeadow · 11/07/2007 08:21

I dont know if Bill will die after being bitten by the werewolf. I think that he has already suffered his tragedy - it'll be a different Weasley.

BandofMuggles · 11/07/2007 08:42

I agree, Bill may not even be well enough to fight more.
PSnape, I'm afraid I really do think the only way Snape can really redeem himself is by dying to save one of the goodies, probably Harry.

That list of characters was amazing.

MrsWeasley · 11/07/2007 09:35

my thinking was that JKR would kill Bill off becuase then she doesnt have to give him a future (you know the way she works -she plans out every last detail even if its not in the books) but perhaps not! I cant take much more of fleur

BandofMuggles · 11/07/2007 09:36

Fleur isn't so bad, I love that face off with MrsW at the end of HBP. She loves him you heartless woman

helenaBC has said this: "J.K. Rowling sent a message saying she's(Bellatrix) going to be very significant in the last one."
