harry potter?

[Cassie]

I think I do. Do you mean, they'll post pretending they love HP but really they're faking because they think we're lame for loving it?

I'm on MuggleNet right now... have you noticed how so many people have abondoned the site since the book was released? Because most of them we're like us and we're on there for book-related news. Well, I'm sure they'll all be back when somebody spills about the Faith Hook Jo is brewing for us.

And also, I've just had a look at the second picture from Emma's shoot on her site. I notice her hair is as blonde as always. Hermione is not. He hair is brown and bushy and thick like it was in PS/SS. I wish she'd stop trying to fib herself that she's a blonde when she's not. I can't believe Jo's letting her precious Hermione be played by a Blonde. :o

And okay, I'm completely up for recruting MN members! Let's raid the comments and ask! :

About consistency, I think she was as consistent as she could be. I've read a bundle of minor errors she's made before, nothing too big. But everything else is consistent in my opinion. Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to this? I admit I've never discussed the consistency of the storyline, characters nor little things before, so I don't really have a firm answer. Sorry! :-[

And you want a HUGE post lol? Okay, I'm making it my mission! It's going to be pretty random though!

Firstly, what do you think of Ron's abandonment in Deathly Hallows? The book says that Dumbledore 'understood' Ron abandoning the group and gave him a way to come back. When/How did Dumbledore come to that conclusion? Has Ron done something in other books that foresees this? I can't recall any off the top of my head. I know in the 4th book they have a huge fight but I always attributed it to Ron's feelings of being in Harry's shadow once again and thinking Harry took him for granted and didn't trust him enough to tell him when and how he'd entered.

Secondly, what do you think of the James/Lily/Snape triangle? I absolutely adored reading the chapter in DH "The Prince's Tale". I always knew that Snape loved Lily, I found it a bit of a shock when people admitted taht they were really surprised of Severus' feelings for Lily. I love Lily and James together though. I'd love Jo to write more about their years at Hogwarts together. Their relationship really amused me, how Lily really hated James at first, and how James was so smitten with her. Jo is brilliant at writing down interesting relationships. But could you imagine if Lily had married Snape and Harry Potter would be Harry Snape, a glasses-less Hary with two curtains of greasy black hair and beady black eyes, a thriving Slytherin? It's unbearable! :o

Carrying on with relationships, what do you think of Rose/Scorpius. I think they are adorable! I think Ron pretty much opened Pandora's box in the Epilogue. Could you imagine if these two got together, the looks on Lucious and Arthur's faces? Hilarious!
It would also mean that the remnants of the Black family end up with Weasleys, which is hilariously ironic.

And what about the Dusleys? Had they been following what was happening with Harry and realised how important he was? Did they stay safe? Imagine Vernon trying to read the wizarding newspapers!
What do you think happened to them? Should they have been mentioned towards the end of the book, as they have been with every other book? I think they should have been. I was really wondering if they ever met with Harry again. I assume they did, considering Dudley sees Harry's kids regularly now, Uncle Dudley lol! I hope Dudley really changed. Though I imagine Albus Severus, James and Lily were all immesnely scared of when Uncle Dudley came over to visit! I can't imagine it being a particularly thrilling visit. And I always wondered if maybe Dudley married a witch? That would be amazingly ironic! :o

And lastly, what were your favourite lines in the books and/or movies? Some of mine are:


"Follow the spiders? Why couldn't it be follow the butterflies?"

"The spiders want me to tapdance! I don't wanna tapdance!" ("You tell those spiders, Ron")

Any line involving Nargles!

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon."

"Harry, if you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet."

"The Chinese Fireball, oooooooh!"

"Dumbledore's got style."

And there's tons more that I'll post later!
